A funny thing happened...

[Daybreak]

Okay, this is kinda like the "weird experiences and dreams" thread, only it's for more mundane happenings. Funny/weird things your friends did. Bizzare coincidences, etc.

Of course I REALLY made it so I could tell you all about what happened to me at work the other day!

So I was switching out CDs in the back room of the children's area (we keep dummy cases on display and have the actual CDs in the back room so as to dicourage theft). Now the children's librarian was on the computer looking up some stuff. All of a sudden, she says "How is that a pirate book?"

And of course I answer elegantly, "What?"

She relpies, "I was looking up the top six mid-grade books on pirates, but the search engine gave me Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire Prince."

Me, "Oh, well, search engines aren't exactly the most brilliant of inventions..."

Her, "I guess he must be a pirate vampire."

Me (with as straight a face as vulpinely possible) "...er, yep! He's a VAMPIRATE!"

Sadly, this got no response. Which is probably a good thing, I would have been freaked out if she knew what CTV was ^^;

[Scarecrow]

Heeheehahahaaaa... That made me chuckle.

Hmmm... *Tries to remember*

[Shippo_no_Neko]

XDD Vampirate XD Yeah, search engines arent that smart. I searched for "Taijutsu" and got books on cake decorating at my local library. Not books on real taijutsu, though

[Zolah]

Hmm, i remember when i was small... i had a bird, dont know its english translation though. how ever, my cat ate him up T_T i was so sad and my mother tried to confort me ' Lets be happy and sing like a bird? ' my response full with hatred and tears ' how the*beep* can i sing like a bird when the cat has eaten up him! ' .. *realises it has lost almost its point when translated to english* T_T

It would be cool for all us CTV fans to meet up one day!

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

Charbycon. That'd be awesome.

[Eclectic Replicant]

Charbb-q!
Someone tried to follow me home the other day, but i lost him.
That's weird because sometimes i dress like a homeless.

[Daggertooth]

Thats actualy kind of spooky. Why do you drell like your homeless?

Ok, bringing this topic back to life. ^^

At a teen retreat, we were walking to a farm, to get some organic eggs for breakfast. Now, I am a klutz. I was stumbling down the dusty road, which lead through a wheat field, I tripped over my own feet, and fell in, head first. I pulled myself out, and attempted to brush off the strands of wheat and straw that were clinging to be, and had managed to get stuck in my hair, so that it apparently looked like it was growing out of my head. o.O

Everyone had a good laugh, and then I realised something. My friend 'Dot', as I call her, was wearing pigtails. So I linked arms with her, and started singing the wonderfull wizard of Oz theme, and what should happen next?

All four of ended up skipping down the road, singing at the tops of our lungs!

XD

Hooray for random singing!

My friends and I always seem to end up singing stuff, especially in public. American Pie, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Simon and Garfunkel's 54th Street Bridge song are ones that make frequent comebacks. I love the looks that we get from adults. They always seem surprised to find out that high school and college kids know songs like that.

Once, while hanging out with friends, one of them started to recite, and act out, The Jabberwocky in this gazebo we have downtown. A bunch of kids had gathered halfway though and called for an encore. When he was done, the kids made requests for other poems. Each of my fiends and myself ended up doing one. I got The Raven.

That was a good day.

To keep people away.

[Jaryn]

Hmmm...that could also be a potential way of getting money.

You'd just need to work on a hobo accent and make the clothes a bit smelly. And you might have to work on some ort of street act...

[Daggertooth]

Yeah...but that would be a bit of a dishonest play against charitable people now wouldn't it. I suppose if you have no problem with that though......

Random singing is always good. I always thought it was interesting how at my scoutcamp all you had to do was say a page number and the staff could sing that particular song that was in their hymn book. Pretty much Everyone could do that.

Yay, random singing. ^^

My friends and I have been known to randomly break into the end of the world song. You know the one-

"It's the end of the world as we know it... It's the end of the world as we know it..."

I love that song. On '666', we marched down the hallways at school singing it at the tops of our lungs. XD And I got called a satanist like twenty times, all in one day.

Hehe, yesterday, I was wearing my straw hat, and I put it on the table because my siblings and I were playing frisbee, and my sister hucked it at the table by accident, and spilled my mother's wine all over my wonderfull hat. Thankfully, it didn't stain. The highlight of this event was when, out of nowhere, I grinned my patented demented grin, swept the dripping hat onto my head, and shouted,
"Now it's vintage! GAhahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!" and promptly tripped over my own feet, and ended up somersaulting across the ground.

Good times.

Strange events?

Well, recently, my family went to the beach. One of my younger siblings was putting sunblock on her head when my eldest brother walked up to us.

The younger immediately told him that we had "made a bird poop on her head".

The elder's response was not disbelief, but a sincere "How'd they do that?"

I thought that was great.

[kioushan]

A hobo thinks my name is Steve.
For absolutely no reason.
I'll see him and he'll wave at me saying "Hi Steve!"

Good times. Good times.
