What's the most unusual thing you have seen?

Probably not the most unusual for me, but I did just see a guy with a pet raccoon that sits on his shoulder. I can't even train my dog or kid and this guy trains a raccoon?

You have another dog? Wasn't there a restraining order on you from Animal Control? Didn't you have to serve 100 hours of community service watching reruns of Cesar Millan?

I was walking down the street with my shotgun, chewing bubblegum and I saw this pair of cool looking sunglasses on the sidewalk. As I bent over to pick up the sunglass, the bubblegum fell out of my mouth onto the sidewalk. Annoyed, I put on the sunglasses and continued to the bank where I was going to deposit some money. Boy was I surprised with what I saw there.

Nah, it was old "Cavalier". The one that I gave back to the breeder.

While I have never seen this Cesar Milan fella, I do think 101 Dalmatians is one of the best comedies I have ever seen.

I saw a bunch of faces form in a shower stall. All the faces were laughing and then they were crying. Whoah.

Mr. Piper, is that you? It's a shame you were all out of bubblegum.

Unusual, not fictional...

A movie about grape leaves & hamburger? 101 Dolmathes?

One late evening in Boston, while waiting on the "T" in the subway, this old black lady across the tracks reached into her large, shabby bag and pulled out a "boom box." She then proceeded to start up the music for the song "Memory" from the "Cats" and sang it perfectly...it was surreal as it was cold and foggy and she was about 25 yards away. Always thought it would be a great opening for a movie.

Fortunately someone was there to capture it on video.

Good God, where to begin? The 7 natural disasters I've been in? (tornado, true Cat 5, lava eruption, blizzard of '78 in Pittsburgh, earthquake and ice-shelf true rouge wave)? The lion that tried to eat me at ~3 years of age? The bear I walked up on at 14? The plane-crash? The forest fire I helped fight to save my grandmaw's house at 16? Won't be doing that one again. Swimming with sharks, barracuda, and that damn sea-serpent (hope to never do that one again), err-fan, the 3o4 U.F.O. bar nite, crazy-girl, the suicide attempt I saw at a VT party, the Radford 3-floor brawl in 1990, Robert Parish sighting in a parking lot woodland area, midget fighting, saving my sisters dumbass dogs life, not once -twice, getting arrested (falsely) in The Musée du Louvre, twinning at the MNC game vs. F.S.U., the knife fight with the guy who put my then 70 year old father in a side-headlock afterwords (he did not win), the real I.R.A. nutbags up in an Irish NYC bar, going blind in the left-eye, slicing my voice box open (both since Christmas), the 2002 wvu game-after party that my father had to break up the next morning at 9:45 to get to Church, the first and the third N.W.O. Nitro Parties, hell, I don't know?

I do know I'm not lying like a rug with God when I tell him: "I really should be dead --by now".

The Lion one, the forest-fire, couple of the parties, all really stand out to me that I can remember.

Though I'm sure my late mom would say the way I was born. (purple, black and blue all over and barely alive, after my bro was stillborn --that's prolly #1; as for God only knows what reason or purpose, I made it when the issue was really very much in doubt from the literal word "go"...)
