Oddball stuff you see, & can't explain.

The post about the doll reminded me of the weirdest thing I can remember having seen. I was hanging out with a friend late at night in the spookiest town I’ve ever been in (Lake Pleasant, MA - a village of the town of Montague). .>>>
As in Point Pleasant (of the Richard Gere “The Mothman Prophecies” fame)? I can’t quite remember the details so forgive me if I’m way off.

That Point Pleasant is in West Virginia.

Allright, I know you are going to think I made this up but, I had more bathroom soup eaters today. This time it was Chunky Beef Vegatable, and they had a bottle of chocolate milk. So they are eating better. But, they are still eating in the toilet.And this time, No dope seeds! Just some tobacco from freakin their mild.

That reminds me of an inexplicable occurance in a crowded Cineplex bathroom. It was foul. You know how urinal spillage increases exponentially as people stand ever further back and with an increasingly wide-legged stance to avoid standing in the flood zone?

I was studiously not looking at the guy in the queue in front of me as he did his business – until after he zipped up and turned around, walking past me to the door. Dude was holding a sandwich. I still wish I had looked, just to see how he managed it. Did he unbutton, unzip, de-short, aim, and reverse with one hand? Did he set his wrapper-free, half-eaten sandwich on the porcelain? What the hell?

Ewwwww. LMFAO! I don’t know why the hell this was so funny, but five minutes later I’m still laughing! Thanks, Larry!

This one happened some years ago, we had the terrace window opened, in came a sparrow, perched itself on my mothers foot and stood there for a while; after he was done with his visit the thing darted to the kitchen and exited through the rotating extractor fan blades unharmed as far as we could see.

About two years ago, we had a pure white pigeon that decided to “home” to our yard. It just hung around listlessly, and also seemed really tame. I noticed it had a band on its leg, so I caught it and got its ID. We found the matching numbers online and got a telephone number. We called and a really nice old German man who races pigeons came out to get it. It wasn’t his, but he’d sold a batch of his allotted bands to a guy who did weddings and whatnot (release of doves for drama and good luck.). It was a chance for me to practice my German a little and meet an interesting guy. The white dove (pigeon) did have a little bit of symbolism built in and It was strange it set up home in our yard.

My wife and I are currently watching our way through our Seinfeld videos, and let me tell you, this story belongs right in that show. I can totally hear George yelling the whole thing.
