The Odd, The Strange, and The Damnit!!

One of my first runs this morning was to go pick up some items out at a place on Route 116 towards Spring Bay. So I figured that I would take a different route then I usually do and go thru downtown Peoria. As I passed by the Ameren office, I happen to see a man walking a bull dog down the street. That seemed to me a little odd to see a dog in downtown Peoria that wasn't running lose. Not more then 5 minutes later I saw something that just boggled my mind. I saw a woman standing outside of her car, I'm guessing dropping her husband, boyfriend, some man that she knew off at work. But what really caught my eye was the fact that she was holding onto a leash. At the end of the leash was a pot-bellied pig. Did I see that? I had to take a quick double take. Now granted I almost ran off the road trying to look at it again. But it was a little piggy. Damn strange pet owners.
Now after spending the rest of the day chuckling to myself after seeing the pig, I'm finally home. As soon as I open the cardoor I can hear my loving dog whining ready to go out and the dumb ass neighbor blaring the radio yelling at the tv playing some sort of racing game (I would call the kid other choice names, but I don't want to insult some of the nicest people in the world). But anyway, as I walk to the house I feel something hit the top of my head. I look down trying to figure out what it was. As I take my hand and run it over the part of my head that was hit, I feel something wet. When I pull my hand back I see what it was. A damn bird shit on me as it was flying over. Not just on the shoulder, but ontop of my fucking head. Son of a bitch! I'm standing there cursing this little flying bundle of shit wishing I had my paintball gun. Either that or a Red Bull to return the favor.

I was just feeling like I needed some cheering up. That did it!

Ask any fisherman, being crapped on the head by a bird means good luck!

We live out in the sticks where you instinctively duck and cover (no pun) when the geese fly over ... now there are some serious bombardiers and they have uncanny aim. Not to mention the nastiest poop in the whole world!

A bull dog, pot bellied pig, and bird shit all in the same day? I now know what attracts you and Kate to each other, besides the normal physical attraction!

Looks like you picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

HAAAAHAHAHA priceless! What a day.

I feel for ya though. Once a bird shit on my glasses--while I was wearing them. Many moons ago I was out mowing my parents' lawn when all of a sudden my right eye blurred up. At least, that's what I thought it was, since sweat was already pouring from my brow into my eyes. I took my glasses off and wiped the sweat out of my eyes and looked down at my glasses, which was dripping with bird shit on both sides. Naturally, I went inside to clean them off and saw birdshit on my face when I looked into a mirror. Fucking birds.

Now, any time birds fly over, I run for cover and yell "DON'T SHIT ON ME!" into the air.

BTW, you are now on my blogroll. I'm apologizing in advance.

I know someone who had a bird poop on them thru the sunroof on their car, while they were driving! Talk about aim.

I think I would crash if I saw a pot bellied pig on a leash! That's crazy.
