October 6 is the Feast Day of St. Bruno, patron saint of Calabria, possessed persons, and pipe smokers.

"I've never seen him listed as patron saint of pipe smokers."
St Bruno - the patron saint of pipe smokers was the long-time slogan for St Bruno TV advertising.

I've seen The Exorcist 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it.
I'm reasonably certain seeing the Exorcist that many times places you in a unique and very small percentage of the population...and the ever increasing humor aspect must narrow it down even further.
Beyond that I would leave it to a professional of some type to further delineate the phenomenon.

^ LOL … I'm relieved to know that...I was thinking it must have something to do with the effects of Captain Black Grape.
Apparently having seen Beetlejuice only once myself many years ago is inadequate...I'll have to remedy that when I have the chance.

I would have to add though...if you've seen Beetlejuice 167 times that would be equally troubling.
