Most unique, amazing, odd thing ever witnessed!

[bnorth]

Keeping in car accidents and groups of accidents.

I have spent most of my life in a rural area with a lot of deer. If you do a lot of night driving chances are you have hit one here. I remember bragging in my early 20s I had never hit a deer. then I hit 4 or 5 in one year and have not hit another one in the last 30 years.

Gee Ben, seems you and I may be the only two members to have witnessed such odd and outrageous incidents. This thread seems to have fallen flatter than a pancake!

I have seen a lot of outrageous stuff but it is way past appropriate to post on a card forum.

Staying in the car theme. Ever notice when you get in a good wreck everyone wakes up about the same time?

Personally, I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, rather than screaming in fear like his passengers.

I was at John Wayne Gacy's execution.

Now there's one for the books. How did you ever end up there, since that is something you intentionally planned to attend, and not just a random happening, like Ben and I experienced?

That is heavy!

Well I was young......late teens I believe, maybe 20....and pretty sure we heard it on the radio, and were like we got nothing to do let's go check it out.

So we drove about 45 minutes......and when we got to the main road leading into the prison....it was crazy. The atmosphere that is. Almost like tailgating at a sporting event. Music playing, people partying. Signs, oh lots of signs.....and for both sides. Those for the death penalty and for those against.

There was no violence though. Just party-ers, and I guess you call them protestors.

And it approached midnight, or maybe it was to happen at 11pm, but as the time neared. The nuns etc were praying, and the partiers, and if you had ever been to a White Sox game in the 80's and 90's you knew there song "nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey hey goodbye"......well that's what the partiers were singing that.....and doing a countdown like it was New Year's Eve.

I hear you. I have other crazy things I've seen and experienced as well, and also not necessarily Net54 appropriate. We'll see if others choose to weigh in.
