---------------------------------

The craziest thing I have ever seen that I can think of was 3 guys sitting in the bed of a pickup truck going down the interstate at 75mph, WITH THE BACK OF THE BED OPEN!!

[Sanji]

The craziest thing that had happened to me is that week I both got hit by a truck and held up at shotgun point.

I was walking home from High School on a Monday. When crossing an intersection, out of nowhere a truck swerves out of nowhere, catches me on the thigh sending me flying as he turns into a gas station parking lot to cut through and drive just as quickly out of sight. My other thigh, not wanting to feel left out, decided to eat some asphalt.

A second or so passes, and I get up and stagger across the street. A lady in a car asks me if I was all right and if I wanted a drive to the hospital. My judgement somewhat clouded, I said yes, walked to her passenger side door and hopped in. Fortunately, she did indeed take me to the hospital instead of her home to make soup out of me.

Nothing was broken, I just had one thigh that was bruised as Hell and another that was pretty chewed up.

Friday comes along and I was going to gather with some friends in a secluded hang out point to imbibe/smoke things. Unfortunately, places that are fit to do things that aren't permissible for those underage are also great places to commit more severe crimes.

I was the first one there, waiting on everyone. I saw shadows of what I assumed were my friends. Unfortunately, they were guys wearing skimasks bearing shotguns. My limping ass wasn't exactly going to make a break for it, so I decided to do what they say and have them lead me off from the appointed hang out spot so that they can ambush my other friends. Fortuantely, I was only carrying my house keys, and the robbers didn't have much interest in it, giving it back to me.

However, my friends weren't so lucky when they showed up and had assorted things taken from them. Specifically, things we had planned on imbibing/smoking. Let's leave it at that.

No violence occured, the robbers leaving without incident but you can rest assured the rest of the night was pretty much shot. It didn't help that my father was piss drunk when I called him to tell him what happened.

At any rate. It was a pretty intresting week to say the least.

Someone walking down the hallways at school wearing a 20" Wal-Mart plastic spinner around his neck, throwing random gang signs to kids most likely to shoot him.

Some guy in my grade taught this Kindergardener in my school the middle finger, then the next day (2 days ago, in fact) he runs around the school flipping everyone off. Now the guy in my grade's expelled. And yes, it was my favorite bully .

One of my friends in high school busted a bum out of the back of a cop car. The cop was harassing these street walkers, and ended up putting one in his car. When he went back to deal with the others, my friend ran up to the car, and let him out. It was pretty cool.

I remember another thing that's really crazy...let's just say that the 8th Grade dance became a night club...

[zehly]

I saw someone today drive AROUND the railroad crossing guards to avoid them to cross. That means he had to cross into the oncoming lane, make a very steep turn through, and a steep turn back through. That's a really sharp zig-zag. It would have been a Darwin award contestant.

Ok, so I'm at the bank, and I'm about to leave when some guy with a hundred Nerf guns runs in and shoots like mad. It turned into a little "survive 'til the cops get here" game. Yes, I participated in it. About everyone in the bank ran away, even the employees, only about six of us were left behind to deal with this guy. So I whip out my trusty Airsoft gun that I always carry for self-defense and started blasting at this idiot. Now its been three hours since I left the bank after some questioning by the cops. They let me go, said that I did a moderate job of taking care of the problem, and began to apprehend the idiot. So now I'm celebrating with my favorite pizza.
