strangest thing you have ever seen

[Zombie Reaper]

I saw a guy shoot a bent barrel .308 and hit 3 bottles at 50 yards.

I handed him my uncles AR-15 and he couldn't hit the air he was shooting through.

He took the .308 back and nailed the target I had set up deadeye center.

Strange.

How bout two events?

1. While driving a out to our missile site north of Minot ND, we were BSing and hardly paying attention when I saw something very strange that didn't register in my brain. I slammed on the brakes, tossing crew, guns, and gear forward. There, stopped in the middle of the road was an ostrich! In ND? Come to find out a local farmer was raising them for meat. Almost had to pick the feathers out of the grill!

2. I was walking my very schitzo basset hound Lucy down a trail in Eagle River Alaska. Some of the trails were posted 'closed' due to intense bear activity so I was on high alert w/44 mag ready to roll in holster. As we rounded an extreamly large boulder, three things happened almost at once: first, Lucy and I saw a salmon carcass in the trail, second, Lucy became very nervous and started pulling me back down the trail that we came up, and third, we both heard movement in the alders that was coming our way. Seeing how I absolutely knew that we were screwed, I had two choices to make, leave Lucy for bait and run like hell or stay and fight (since my wife would not let me in the house if I lost Lucy). Either way, we were screwed. With our backs to the rock, we waited as the 'Beast' crashed through the alders. I had my 44 out and ready for out impending showdown. Then it happened! Two pack laden llamas broke out on the trail with a couple of hikers! They will never know how close they came to having llama skin shoes! And Lucy was still freaked out!

urinals

I was at a bar in Columbia back in 02 called "By George", a danceclub/bar where people who normally don't lose memory, miss entire blocks of time (including me, one night. We think they put something in the drinks).
The bathroom lines were always long, I walked in once and saw a chick squatting in a urinal. Feet off the ground, totally sitting in the thing. It was a pretty huge turn-off.

[Hawk]

Oh, and I remember about 8 years ago, maybe more, maybe less, I was with my family on my way to the lake of the ozarks. Out over this one field we saw three bright lights that seemed to be floating. We couldn't see how they were connected, but we could see the ground underneath them, and there was nothing there. Eerie, but probably a logical explanation for it.

[MonsterZero]

I saw people cheer for Barbara Streisand once. I'm not sure if I hallucinated or not...

[BerserkerPrime]

MonsterZero,

The strangest thing I've ever seen is anyone admitting that they were in any kind of position to see folks cheering for BS!

I remembered this one today- Back when I was just dating my wife, I lived in the upstairs of this little house that had a shop in the front, and an up and a down apartment in the back. If you went down the stairs and out my apartment door and turned around to face the building again, the bathroom window of the downstairs place was right next to my door.
Their bathroom window was in their shower stall, and it was one of those fogged windows that you can't see through much past 3 inches.
I was sitting out on the back patio, facing away from the house, talking to Sarah on the phone one night, when I heard someone banging on that window. I turned around to see a moth on the inside of the glass, trying to fly out, a reoccurring hand trying to swat said moth, and a set of boobs bouncing all over the place...Apparently the chick downstairs didn't think there was anyone out there....I went and sat in my truck for the rest of my conversation with Sarah.

Back a few years ago, I helped my buddy Richie and his girlfriend move back to Ohio from Oregon.

We stopped at Mt. Rushmore and, as we were leaving the Black Hills, we ran into one of the most incredible lightning storms I've ever seen. After a few hours of the most brilliant lightning and thunder, it starts to eventually rain. Pouring rain. Cataclysmic rain.

So I'm in my Richie's girlfriend's car (she's sleeping in the passenger seat), and I'm following Richie in his truck across the high desert in a driving storm.

We'd been on the road for days, and we were all tired, so you can imagine my surprise when, as the rain is falling and there's so much lightning it feels like it's daytime... the desert road is suddenly filled with toads.

It was a plague of toads. Millions of the little bastards.

They were coming up out of the ditches at on the side of the highway like water boiling up out of a pot. We drove for a half hour through the rain, and lightning, and thunder, and fucking TOADS -- Richie's 1968 Chevy pickup truck cutting a swath through the poor amphibious bastards.

We stopped some hours later and were standing at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, both of us drinking a Jolt Colas and leaning against the building, watching Richie's girlfriend continue sleeping in the front seat of her car.

"So," I says, "did you... ummm. Hmmm... I'm really tired. I think I might have been hallucinating for a little bit back there. You didn't see... umm... toads, did you?"

"DUDE!" he says, with a look of total relief, "I thought I was totally losing my mind! There were toads everywhere! They were popping under my tires!"

... to this day, his girlfriend refuses to believe us that it happened.

I saw a zombie. Or if it wasn't a zombie it was pretty freakin close. It was in Haiti in 2004. Aristide had popped smoke for a much needed retirement and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was convinced to follow the constitutional chain of command and assume the office. Being a reasonably bright fellow he knew that the presidential protective detail were all Aristide's hand picked thugs and he wouldn't last very long in office with them watching his back. Enter the US Dept of State Diplomatic Security Service. A dozen of us went down to serve as his body guards for a few months until new Haitian police could be vetted and/or a contract company brought in to do the job. As Agent in Charge one day I was riding in the armored Suburban with him as we moved through Port au Potty to some appointment. Shuffling down the middle of the street, stark raving naked other than a thick coating of filth and human shit was a ......zombie. It had to be. Vacant eyes, nasty running sores, the whole nine yards. She was totally oblivious to our passing motorcade which had to swerve to get around her shambling form. I didn't hear about anybody being eaten so perhaps she wasn't really "undead" but she sure didn't have much to live for and she looked just like something out of a Romero film.

I saw wild penguins in South Africa too once but that is another story.

[Skellyton]

this is a quote from my myspace page from about 2 years ago...

I once worked at a retail establishment where, randomly, someone would go into the bathroom, mens or womens, and poo.

All over the place.

It was on the walls, the floor, everywhere.

My friend and I gave this person the moniker "The Mad Defecater." It waas catchy, and hilarious. Especially since we never cleaned it.

Well, I've finally come across evidence of The Mad Defecater's accomplice.

I'm currently temping at a construction site pulling network cable. I know... Exciting stuff. But it pays. Anyway, it seems that everywhere I turn, I find bottles of pee. Water bottles, gatorade bottles. Just bottles. Full of pee. It's gross.

Jack the Pisser strikes again.

We had that once in an office I worked at. Yep, an office, not a public facility where random people were using the restroom. Someone was going into the women's room and shitting in strange ways... like making a huge pile on the seat, or smearing it all over the walls or mirror. This was somewhat unsettling, and funny, because I couldn't picture any of the co-workers doing this. And it meant you were kinda looking at the people around you thinking "is that the one? is that the crazy shitter?" I think they finally discovered that it was the night janitor. Who apparently didn't understand the point of his job.

In my dorm hall at school, someone always projectile-poos in the 4th floor showers. We call them the Shower Shitter. This went on for a few weeks. It was horrid.

Maybe it was one of the Haitian zombies, the ones that people will give a strong drug to and the recipient goes into a near coma like state and is completely under the drug giver's control.

A couple of years ago, on a motorcycle ride to Daytona, either bike week or Biketoberfest, can't remember which, my brothers and I got caught in creeping, bumper to bumper traffic heading southbound on I-95. As we crept along through a curve, I looked ahead and saw that about 50 - 75 yds ahead was the front of the pack, no accident, no visible obstruction, just the front of a slow moving pack of traffic. Every 30 seconds to a minute, a car or two would break of from the front of the pack and cruise off at highway speed, for no appearant reason. I takes a while, but we finally get to the front of the pack to see a group of 3 or 4 very paniced, probably very tired feral pigs, serpantining south across both lanes, back and forth. As they cleared a lane another car could pass, before another pig came into that lane. After we passed them and got to Daytona, my bros and I laughed about "Hogs" heading to Daytona. Felt sorry for the little guys though.

I saw a piano...

Now this may seem awfully commonplace, except for its setting, which was dead center in a nature preserve (aka forest) WAY off the beaten path. It was a full sized grand piano, the suckers you'd see bolted on a cruise ship or something. The kind that require six or seven people to move, complete with its own matching bench, with legible music stashed inside that. It was set up as if someone just had their own sweet spot to play the piano in the middle of the forest, which i hope is enough eccentricity to explain this. I seriously hope that they simply didn't dump it there, because by the looks of it someone had payed a lot of money for it, wooden engraving and all.

I want to make that pirate ship on bike wheels for halloween

[Head Shot]

I was at a Pink Floyd concert in '77. There was a guy who was a dead ringer for Johnny Winter wearing a pink halter-top miniskirt sundress, holding a frisbee in one hand like a platter shouting "Blotter Acid, get your blotter acid here!".

After the movies ended, the concession girls would have to clean the theaters.....they would come out with girl's panties, condom wrappers, beer cans, booze bottles, and one occasion a dildo.[/quote]

When I was in high school I worked as an usher in a movie theater and in the summer we would switch working at the drive inn run by the same company. Part of the job was to check all the speaker boxes and hang up the ones people missed hanging on the holder and to pick up the ones people forgot to take off their window and jerk off the pole. One night, 3rd row, front and center was a pair of mens underware, hanging from the speaker pole. A Disney flick was on that night.

[Pansy]

I've always thought this was pretty sweet. Though probably not "strange"... More like improbable.

There is a large mental-health facility in my home town. In High School I caught a mentally challenged individual wearing a Santa Claus hat and a Hitler Mustache building a pyramid of his own feeces on the seat of the toilet in the bathroom of the grocery store I worked at. Swear to God.

So what happened next? I think I would've just backed away slowly

[Ranger0402]

I just called the manager and they kicked him out. Which was actually a worse punishment than it sounds because all the folks from the facility would congregate in the deli to drink coffee all day (they couldn't have jobs, they were crazy). So Hitler/Santa Claus was pretty dejected and we would catch him from time to time, looking in the windows of the deli at his buddies drinking coffee.

[KeeblerNinjaClan]

That sucks, but what are you going to do?

[URBAN ASSAULT]

:( That sucks, but what are you going to do?

Give him a high-paying government job so he will fit right in?

Pyramids out of shit seems about right, especially now .
