The Strange things we see

PoeticWitch · 11-15-2009, 07:37 AM

We all see strange things sometimes.. and they just dont make sense.. I thought it would be fun if we told the stories of the strange things and then tell what you think was really going on.. and what others think was really going on.. I will start

I was walking back from the corner store this morning, I just get to my block when I see a lil old man come out of his house in a really ugly bright blue robe. He gets into the trunk of a car and pulls out a bowling ball.. almost the exact same color of his robe.

I say good morning not surprisingly I get no response... Now I am wondering.. what anyone would need a bowling ball for at 7am in their residence... this isn't a rich neighborhood so I have a hard time believing he might have a bowling alley built in his basement..

My grandmother used to bowl and she kept her monogrammed bowling ball in her closet.

The strangest thing I've seen lately was this guy at Starbucks with a mirror on his back. It was probably a 10x10 mirror with straps that he wore around his arms.
I had the privilege of standing directly behind him in line with a perfect view of myself and it was way too early for that shit.

After he ordered and went to await his coffee with the rest of the early morning crowd, I watched everyone else try and figure out why on earth he had a mirror strapped to his back.

It was a message. Look at yourself. Especially before getting your morning coffee.

Maybe he thought the mirror was magic and would show the people looking into it the real them...

That's the cool version.

The uncool version is that he had a camera under there and he's about to launch a People of Starbucks site to rival People of WalMart.
