Strange things you've hit with your car

[crabbymelt]

So yesterday I ran over what looked like a rubber chicken. It made me wonder why it was in the middle of the road in the first place. Then I started to count all the weird things I've thumped with this piece of junk car- the worst was a bouncing basketball that didn't belong to anybody (Batista would be so proud). Once I was on the Baltimore beltway, and the car in front of me ran over a traffic cone, and sent it flying over my car. I actually ducked because I thought it was going through my windshield. I should just drive a katamari.

Ran over a turkey once Danny thing jumped a fence right in front of my car. Had feathers flying out the back of my car for miles

My brother and I were riding on the countryside, he was driving, and we came up on a flock of birds that was on the ground. My brother being a maniac instead of slowing down, sped up. I closed my eyes. I heard POC POC POC POC POC POC, just birds coliding with the windshield. I opened my eyes and there's my brother with this sadistic CRAZY look on his face with his eyes shifting left and right, left and right. And he asked me how many points he had scored on that level. Never answered him.

Next story is special, we didn't hit anything but we came upon something that had been hit. So in the van, it's George Gadaski Jr driving, I'm next to him, in the back you have Fred Williams and Luc Poirier, AKA one of the Truth Commission guys, I forget which. We're riding from Chicoutimi to Quebec City, it's after a show, it's in the middle of the night, and we go through Laurentians National Park, which we always went thru on that route. And we came upon a huge group of deer, like a dozen deer and they are in the middle of the road, and they are not moving, and we're like 6 feet away from them. Georgie honks, and they startle, they jump a bit farther back, but they don't leave. And that's when I notice on my side of the road a bit farther, there was a dead deer on the ground. And that's when I said, seriously, really believing it, still believing it to this day, that this was a funeral rite of some sort. We came upon a damn wake for a damn deer that was attended big time.

We waited. We were scared, really. For two reasons, we didn't want to startle them by honking them aggressively because that meant they might just charge the van trying to flee, and number 2, you can't be idle in Laurentians National Park for too long, you don't want to run out of gas in there, it's rather remote and we had no cell phone. So eventually, rolling forward whenever one of them moved out of the way, we made our way through the group.

I once ran over a dead possum on the road. At least I hope it was already dead, sad as that sounds.

I've twice run over birds. And each time I screamed we had a deal.


And believe me, I'm being serious. I actually ran over two birds.

[The Legend of Groose]

A rattlesnake.

I didn't hit it, but one time I got a call to pick up a friend who needed a ride... I drove to where he was and along the way was a dead split open giant cow in the middle of the road. No crashed car or car parts anywhere to be seen. Just a bloody cow carcass.

Ever since, I always wondered how that came to be.

A Dodo Bird.

I was driving up I-95 near Philadelphia one winter night. There was snow on the shoulders of the road and the roads had been recently salted so everything was a fairly uniform grey color. I'm doing about 70 in the left lane and suddenly there is a chair in my lane. It looked like a wooden deck chair, weathered to be almost the exact shade of grey as the snow and road. No time to react. I hit it clean. It blowed up. It blowed up real good. The only damage to my car was a dent in the fender.

I've probably had at least 100 close calls with deer.

Nothing yet, thankfully. Though coming home from my ex's house taking the back roads, on one night I had to stop for a possum, a few deer, a skunk, a raccoon, and a coyote.

When I was a kid, we were driving along a road when some small animal, a squirrel I think, ran out really close to the car. Dad didn't even have any chance to react and just drove on, and it managed to run far enough that it passed in between the front wheels. So for a split second we're all thinking "Wow, that was clos-" and then there was a small *thud* from one of the rear wheel wells.

About 10 years ago had Turkey fly into my windshield. Pull over cause I got half a Turkey sticking thru my windshield, get out. The Turkey pulls its head out of the glass and flew off.

T-Boned another car.

Almost hit acouple of couches on the freeway. California is weird.

Once I was driving along, just rocking out to some tunes and wasn't really paying attention when I hit what I thought was a bump or a pothole. I looked in my rearview and there was fox fur everywhere.

And the woman who had been wearing it was f***ing PISSED.
