The Strange things we see

Semantics · 11-15-2009, 08:01 AM

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.

In the college town I work in, I saw a man walking down the street playing the accordian....during the BIG STORM.....lol

and....

in the same town.... I was at the produce market...and a man was chasing his pet goat around the parking lot. Apparently he had taken the goat for a ride in the car and it escaped the car when he was putting groceries in.....

and...last but not least....

in the SAME TOWN....I saw a woman dragging her crying little girl towards the car....and what was the little girl crying for??? She wanted to go to the farmer's market and her mother said NO....lol... Aww little earthy crunchy granola heads....
