Why are people spelling pleco "pl*co"?

[fishRmylife]

Lol, thought i'd ask cuz ive seen it aroun the board

 

[FroggyFox]

something about a curse. I don't know lol

 

[N©KI]

It's an old myth that if you spell out Pleco fully, your Pleco will die. So people spell it Pl*co. It's crazy. My pleco is still kicking.

 

[fishRmylife]

lol mine died, it jumped out of the tank

 

[uncutbulldog]

I wrote out Pl*co in another post (Sabataged by mother-in-law). Someone help----------my Pl*co is my favorite fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What to do---What to do---What to do---What to do!!!!!!!!!

Any advice would be appreciated. Do I need holy water or something?

 

[catfishmike]

[uncutbulldog]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks alot catfishmike.

You made my day. LOL )

 

[MrKrispy]

hahaha funny you mention your pl*co jumping out fishRmylife,
mine jumped out during the nightime once, I found him on the floor in the morning and I thought it was a space alien. I put him in a bucket of water, and he was fine a few days later. Very odd seeing him 15 feet from my tank!!!

 

[Badplankton]

yeah you should never spell pleco or it WILL die,

 

[madhippoz]

Yah, just like you should never step on a crack, it WILL break your mothers back

Heh the things people believe, its amazing.

 

[Scrumpy]

I'm sooooo glad someone asked about the pl*co thing because I was wondering, and too chicken to ask!

 

[aspiringangel]

my pleco didn't jump out - it was flicked out by a rather naughty cat. never the otehr fish, always the pleco...

madhippoz, i stepped on a crack once - didn't break my mother's back, though, just twisted my ankle. hmm, you mean that black cat that crossed my path the other day WON'T give me seven years bad luck? Whew. *wipes brow* Thank god.

 

[Coyote]

Whether you spell it pl*co or pleco, your pleco will die... eventually.

 

[madhippoz]

twisted ankle = ouch. Well black cats are an exception!! You're totally screwed now!!

Hahah good point Coyote, if someone brings up any of these old posts of where I say pleco like 4 years from now when my pleco dies and goes, seeee!!!!! Do I get to suplex them?

 

[Gomer]

O Pleco, Pleco, Pleco
I spelled it with the "e"
Oh what the hell did I do?!
The curse is now upon me.

 

[aspiringangel]

aww crap guess i shouldn't have walked under that ladder while the black cat crossed my path then.

I've heard that if you spend all your time writing 'pl*co' instead of pleco, your pleco will be immortal and then you'll have to leave it in your will to someone. I guess my two guys are doomed.

Now THAT, that is poetry.

 

[uncutbulldog]

GOMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your crazy!!! Saying Pl*co so many times. I'll get the holy water and catfishmike will bless your Pl*co.

Your Pl*co still has a chance if you hurry.

 

[420Loach]

lol.

 

[Gomer]

How do you like my new sig file?

 

[aspiringangel]

sheet. that means that the next... TWELVE plecos you have will die! you better quit while your 13th still has a chance.
