What have you seen today that you wouldn’t expect to see?
In Goodwill there was an autographed picture of our Wisconsin ex-governor Dreyfus. He was one of our hipper governors. He did appear on the state maps with his wife and styling car in the 80’s.
A golden retriever with a poodle cut.
I wonder how they got the poof.
Aqua Net?
My husband is certain he saw a coyote in the retention pond area near our house this morning. It’s possible, but still pretty amazing, if so!
Britanny Spears landing in Cleveland, Ohio yesterday, also her tour bus, missed the show.
I saw a homeless man this morning in drag. Hair extensions, heavy makeup, the whole 9 yards. It was rather startling.
A videoof a Jamaican woman putting a hex on a security guard in a CVS.
:eek:
I have to add how sad our Good Will store looks right now. The lawn is almost totally dead after the lawn care service over fertilized their lawn and all the other client’s lawns that day in the spring. A couple weeks ago an older car driver went trough the bike rack and the wall and window. The wall is sealed up with expandable insulation in all the displaced pushed in cement blocks. The window is covered in plywood. Crime scene police tape blocks off the dead lawn and the area in front of the caved in wall, window and twisted bike rack. You don’t see such a disaster every day.
I came in to work to find that IT had reinstalled a program that they had taken away in favor of a cheaper, crapass knockoff. What a great surprise! We had bitched about the crapass one all we dared, but gave up hope that we’d ever see the beloved old program again. However, it’s back, thank goodness. Imagine being able to do our work quickly and efficiently again! The back of my hand to turdware.
Well, wasn’t today, but a few weeks ago while on the way to lunch, there was the obviously homeless and probably mentally ill lady with the improvised duct-tape shoes. Not that the idea is so strange, or that I might not try something similar if I were in similar circumstances, but the thickness of them–these things were like moon boots.
On the same block, we saw two black gentlemen in some sort of red/white (presumably) religious robes, wearing high-top sneakers and carrying those string backpacks.
Gotta love the city.
Not today, but last week I saw a cop on a motorcycle pull over a guy riding a Schwinn and write him a ticket for a traffic violation. It was pretty amusing!
I was stopped behind a woman driving a car at a stop light. Others are behind me. The light turns green and the lady starts to go straight through the intersection. Three quarters of the way through she almost stops and the car is slowly rolling forward at about 2 miles an hour. The lady is busy primping her hair.
I get gas and there is a long line at the very busy counter, and there is a frumpy messy haired lady with the contents of a huge purse dumped on the counter. Yep it was the same lady that stopped driving in the intersection to primp her hair.
I saw a midget in the grocery store parking lot.
Speaking of midgets, I had the TV on during the day for reasons I’d rather not go into, and caught a minute of “The Doctors” – the guest doc that day was a neonatologist who was a midget. There was no mention at all of her diminutive stature (though I missed the intro), she was just doing a normal “I’m the guest expert” rap.
Not sure if that counts, given that it was on TV.
Got to work today, and in the lower parking lot there was a bicycle just sitting there upside down.
just sitting in the middle of the parking lot.
ok, whatever
Not today, but yesterday, I was at Wal-Mart. [NOTE: So many of these stories begin with the words “I was at Wal-Mart…”] I see a man who is obviously Native American - the skin tone, the jet-black hair in a pony tail, turquoise jewelry, etc. This is startling in itself, as the Native American population of central Illinois has to be somewhere in the neighborhood of less than a dozen. Anyway, the guy was wearing a button-up, long-sleeved, collard shirt, from which he’d ripped the sleeves (not unlike this, only the shirt was white. He’d unbuttoned the first few buttons exposing his chest hair. AND, he was wearing a neckerchief! :eek: Like, what Fred from Scooby-Doo wore! :eek:
Seriously! A neckerchief, on an Indian, at Wal-Mart.
For me, a Native-American with chest hair was the odd part.
My brain filled in the chest-hair part (I only saw him in passing); maybe it was just to expose his rippled pecs.
Well last night there was a lamb, a piglet and my rabbit asleep infron of the heater in my lounge room.
Much to my surprise the same thing has happened tonight
