A donut rolling down the street. I was in HS, and had just walked up to the bus stop. Naturally I was the first one there, so nobody to share my vision with. The stop was in a residential neighborhood. No donut shops, food shops or any kind of shop what-so-ever. Just houses. Nobody around that had maybe dropped their lunch. Not a soul in sight, anywhere. Just me, and a donut (plain cake, no decorations) that came rolling down the street (more in the gutter really, but still...) towards me , and it bounced and rolled its merry old way on past me and out of sight.

Two slugs mating. That was a pretty weird thing to see.

roflmao You know Whoami, often I see people, and I want to take their pictures and share them with everyone here, because there are some "critters" in my neck of the woods who are about the strangest things I've ever seen....

Hehe, when we lived in the apartment we were out front one day with Caleb who wasn't quite a year old (it was still cold out, we were in jackets) when we heard a police siren headed our way. Darren and I and our neighbors we were sitting out with all looked up and then down the street. Running towards us was a man who was completely naked except for a hospital bracelet on his arm. Following behind him was somewhere around 10-15 cops on foot and following them was a cop car with his lights and sirens on. He wasn't funny, whatever his problems were, it was obvious he had problems. What was funny (in that strange way) though was the way the cops reacted to him. At several times they could have caught up with him and just grabbed him, but they didn't want to seem too. When this naked man slowed down, they all slowed down. When he sped up, they all sped up. When he swerved right, they swerved right. It was just odd to watch. They did catch him before he could run out into the main street but they put off grabbing him til they had to.

When I was a kid, a van struck a woman crossing the street on my street corner on second avenue. I was coming down the block and saw her lying in the street, on the back of the van were the words "god is calling you". It really struck me as odd and I can still remember it 40 years later.

These stories are funny! Who, the donut one had me laughing so hard just imagining it. I'll have to think about what to put here. I've seen some funny things...

Maris, that is odd. (And funnily enough, whenever an idiot does something while I'm driving, I used to say "step out and meet god"!)

Speaking of bumper stickers, I saw one on a car yesterday that said "Buy American" It was on a Toyota..

Escapee - maybe it was a made in America Toyota, we try to stick by the Made in Canada rule of thumb, my Toyota was made in Ontario. Bumper stickers, this was a headshaker I saw yesterday "I'm only speeding because I really have to poop" Strangest thing - this past weekend the police had a guy pulled over, he had what seemed like the contents of his house in the trunk and tied on to the roof, including a bed, stove, dryer and assorted others, it was a sedan. We took a picture for giggles, if I can download it from the phone(not sure how to do this) I'll post it. I love the donut story.

Toyota is made all over the world, I think, but owned by the Japanese.

I'm still trying to figure out what two slugs mating look like. Was there any humping?

I believe you could find it on YouTube. It is not a trivial procedure. Ain't the Internet a great source of information?

I can't get to Youtube from work, so I will speed home to check this out. If I get a traffic ticket in my haste, I'll send it on to you, Karen.

I can see it now...."but officer, don't you understand? I need to get home ASAP in order to view the YouTube vid of two slugs mating!!" I'm sure he'll let you off with just a warning once you explain it to him.

Sure he will, Who, and then he'll rush to TVCH to tell us that the strangest thing he's ever seen is someone rushing home to watch two slugs mating!

Karen, that is exactly what I witnessed with my own 2 eyes. I think their mating is absolutely beautiful...so ethereal and otherworldly.

Sorry OG, but I think of only one thing when I think of slugs: salt!

I have seen a flying squirrel run up a mans leg, right into his shorts. The look on his face was priceless. Especially since I just got done telling him to leave the squirrel alone.
