Weirdest thing you've ever seen on the ground during a run..? (Read 11262 times)

    one time i saw a weave - like fake hair - on the curb. it rained that night, and moved close to the sewer drain but didn't quite make it, so it was there for like a month after i first spotted it. it was pretty nasty, but became a game...every time it stormed, i'd run by the next day and it would be several inches closer to the sewer. its like i was rooting it on...no pun intended....
    we like to call them tumbleweaves.

      Tumbleweaves - I love it. I ran past an empty bottle of Patron while running tonight.

        Ok, this isn't really weird or funny in and of itself, but yesterday morning I came across a discarded banana peel on the side of the road. As I ran by I looked down thinking to myself, "how cliche'", I can just hear the laughter as I tell my friends and family that the reason I am on crutches is because I slipped on a banana peel while out for a run! Big grin Then, yesterday afternoon, on the drive down to Virginia, I hear from my oldest daughter that while in school earlier that day, she ACTUALLY slipped on a banana peel in the hall and fell to the floor! Roll eyes

            Today I ran past a flying monkey that was standing on the ground. It was disguised as a turkey but I was not fooled.

              Shit...I just saw at least a dozen of those on the neighbor's lawn...I had no idea! Such devious bastards: I think I'm gonna go lock the door, now....

                  Next time I see wild turkeys on our lawn I'm going to yell at them "look, I know you're just flying monkeys in disguise--the jig is up!" I'm sure the neighbors won't question my sanity. Tongue k

                      This is kinda gross, but I must tell. One tempo run last summer I'm crankin away when I notice a squirrel up ahead in the road with his head down licking the street. As I approach he runs off. Running over the spot I look down to see a freshly deposited green lung oyster--ooohh. It took a minute until I realized what it was. NASTY!

                          I ran by a red Camarro in a driveway. It was getting peed on at the time.

                            This isn't weird but it was funny and almost tragic at the same time. The other day I and another runner nearly collided into each other at an intersection. I was headed east on Exeter Street and he was headed west on Continental Avenue. We came within inches of each other, and both of us came to a screeching halt.

                              But...was it "bitchin'?" Big grin BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO I ran over my neighbors BITCHIN CAMARAO, BITCHIN CAMARO Now it's in all the papers. My folks bought me a BITCHIN CAMARO with no insurance to match; So if you happen to run me down, please don't leave a scratch. I ran over some old lady one night at the county fair; And I didn't get arrested, because my dad's the mayor. BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Doughnuts on your lawn BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Tony Orlando and Dawn When I drive past the kids, they all spit and cuss, Because I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO and they have to ride the bus. So you'd better get out of my way, when I run through your yard; Because I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO; And an Exxon credit card. BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Hey, man where ya headed? BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO I drive on unleaded. I swear...I have seen that car around here... Tongue
