Lived in Germany through KSU in the late 90s. Ran out of my fave cologne right before Xmas so almost told parents to send a new bottle, BUT...was walking into town one day and found a BRAND NEW BOTTLE just right there on the sidewalk. Passed all inspection criteria, so, good enough.

Once cut down a tree where a family of raccoons lived. They all ran away once the tree hit the ground but they were pretty shaken up. 2 nights later I was at those apartments by burger king and like 6 raccoons were standing right next to 14th street and they watched me get out of my car and go into my friends apartment, then they left. Then about one week later I was at my parents house in Topeka and I was telling them about the raccoons following me and looked out the back sliding glass door to the second story deck and there was a raccoon looking in the window at me. Parents have lived in the house 29 years and that is the only raccoon they have ever seen.

once played a joke on a friend by letting the air out of his tires only to find out a week later that he didn't realize that the air was let out of them and drove a mile and ended up ruining the rims and had to pay a bunch of money to fix or something.

sounds to me like he (or she) learned the valuable lesson of kicking your tires before going on a trip

I got my first speeding ticket on my 16th birthday while getting roadhead

I was travelling down US Highway 99 southbound to Alma for a paintbally good time. I pass one vehicle only to have a Dodge Neon pull out in front of me. I slow down, and then noticed a distinct aroma, marijuana. I wonder whether it is the car or truck and trailer just ahead. We travel along in this caravan for a good 4 miles at 55 mph. I keep thinking that the Neon is going to pass the truck at some point, but after several opportunities, it does not. We finally come to a large stretch of flat road and I decide this is my time to pass them both. I signal and venture into the oncoming lane. As I near 90 mph and the driver side door of the Neon, the guy decides to attempt passing as well. I immediately slam on my brakes (not swerving). The man piloting the Neon chose a huge evasive maneuver and careened down an embankment, up the other side, and directly into a telephone pole, before spinning out in a field. It was quite a sight to be coming to a complete stop from 90 miles per and watching a car flying through a ditch and into a telephone pole. I immediately pulled over, and searched all over for my phone, it was on the passenger side floor. I get out and several others have stopped as well to check on the guy. I stay by my car, because I can tell the guy is alright, and I’m not sure just how mad he is about totaling the car. He gets on his knees and bows down to his car arms outstretched. I’m sure he was amazed to have come out unscathed. I was amazed as well. He was also wearing a tie-dye shirt. The police come and I began debating the legality of attempting to pass two cars at once on a two lane highway. I fill out my statement and on my way to get my license from the police officer I pass by the other driver. He shook my hand, I tell him that I’m glad he is alright. He warns me “Next time only pass one car, don’t try for two.” I refrain from telling him to check his mirrors before attempting to change lanes. The police officer reads my statement and says “you were at his driver side door when he came over?” followed by a laugh. He then says “…and he just swerved right?” “Overcorrected, I presume,” is my reply. Police officer chuckles and looks over at the totaled Neon and says “Obviously.” He thanks me for sticking around and sends me on my way.

Thanks to my new ceramic brakes, Team Prelude and myself live to fight another day.

We passed her father the first time I got road head. I waved.

Upon completion, she asked that I take her out for ice cream!

I have a friend who has some ball and chain things that you light on fire, go to burning man, and spin around like a maniac. I tried to use them and ended up starting my pants on fire briefly.

Don't let the pants being briefly on fire fool you, this is a true story

When Jackass was popular, my friends and I would make Jackass videos. One time, we hit my friend with a truck. He jumped up and shattered the windshield. We were 14, and it was my friend's parents' truck.

Watched a guy die at Restaurant Depot (restaurant supply store) last Tuesday. He dropped of a massive heart attack, the paramedics came and did CPR, even the difibrillator, then load him up in the ambulance. Couple days later I came in and asked what happened to him. Guy said he was dead before the paramedics even arrived. It was weird.

Ayo Saba used to steal capri suns out of my mini fridge in Haymaker. I didn't even mind that much. He was a nice dude.

Blacked out my freshman year of college, -tried to drove home to make curfew for my dorms (Private Christian School)- ran 4 or 5 miles where a policeman picked me up and gave me a M.I.P. Woke up the next morning on the floor of my dorm, pants drenched with urine and shame, to my roommate asking me where my car was.

Turns out I totaled my car a block away from the party I was at into a government truck and I left my cell phone in that car. Long story short cop takes picture of the wreckage w my cell phone, calls my mom, I go to court AND DON'T RECEIVE A DUI just a fleeing the scene charge, later ex-sponged from my record 2 years later.

Moral of the story, being a crap human being works to your advantage, sad really.

a few months ago my neighbors moved during the middle of the night, and left about half their stuff in the house. like, I woke up one morning and they were gone. I figured their house had been foreclosed on or something. Until last week when the FBI knocked on my door wanting info on the ex-neighbors, I asked them why and the agent said they were wanted for murder

true story.

WARNING!: If you're a dog lover you probly don't want to read this story. (very sad)

When my dad was 12 or 13 he was mowing an alfalfa patch (by himself) with an old sickle bar mower.

His dog was running around chasing the rabbits he scared up as he went through the field.

Well the dog was so into chasing a rabbit that he ran right into the sickle bar before dad could shut if off.

In the blink of an eye the poor dogs front legs were chopped clean off. Dad got down from the tractor and checked his ol' buddy over. Duke was bleeding terribly and yelping in pain. Dad did the only thing he could and got a hammer from the tractor. He finished Duke off with one blow to the head.

He laid Dukes body in the tree row at the edge of the field. I've only heard him tell that story once, and that was like 15 years ago.

That's tough to follow.

But, I turned a triple play in softball once. (line drive to short (me), stepped on second, threw to first...)

I bumped into Rahm Emmanuel in a sandwich shop in Georgetown when I first moved to DC (around 2006). He was wearing a fitted brown suit and was incredibly handsome and nice smelling. The sexy mediterranean lady and her two also sexy daughters that run the place were all giggly and flirting with him in front of the swarthy husband/father/owner. Was all in all a delightful scene.
