I've got a little bunny rabbit!
I'm going to hold him, and pet him, and hug him,
and squeeze him, and I will call him "George"

it never seems to fail...ususally once a day I will be driving along the highway or just a regular road...and glance to the side of the road...and what do I see..but a random shoe..or sometimes even a pair of shoes.....am I the only person that sees this? I just often wonder why....like how did it get there? I could understand maybe if I had only seen one or two random shoes in my lifetime on the side of a road...but I literally see random shoes ALL the TIME!
This will probably weird you out but I swear it's true: Several years ago I was at a friend's house and he had this book written by an anonymous author that actually was an instruction manual on how to be a professional contract killer. At first I thought it was a joke but as I read on I could tell that this guy knew what he was talking about and covered every last minute detail that might get someone caught. It sent chills up my spine but it was also utterly fascinating.
       What does this have to do with the shoes? Well, one of the instructions he had was to buy a brand-new pair of sneakers before the "job" and not to put them on until just before you get to the target's house. (This way the cops can't find any soil that might trace you back to your hometown.) He then went on to say that after the "job" was complete, you're supposed to drive out of town and when no one is around, to throw one of the sneakers out the window, and to dispose of the second one later on, the key is keeping them separate. 
      Are there a lot of mob hits in your area? Who knows. But it's just one theory I thought I'd offer up.

I read a forensics book that went into detail on how to cover up a killing

Actually I know where he is--they chopped him up into really tiny bits and they're slowly disposing of the body by putting one little piece of him at a time into Wendy's chili.  ;D ;D ;D

We have had soooo much extra rain in California right now that all the little wild butterflies are going kamakazee and splatting into cars and busses because they lack the wherewithall to fly higher and avoid colliding! They all seem to be travelling North too so eastbound traffic is truly a hit and miss affair.

Erin, F.Y.I....I saw but yet another pair of shoes today.......how random




~Theb

There's a farm about a quarter of a mile outside my development that always has a bunch of kittens running around, and today there were two of them dead on the side of the road. It was pretty gross.

I'm not a driver but I have seen my fair share of strange things lying outside.
For the past month pairs of women's panties have been showing up in the front of my apartment building.
I'm hoping that this is the result of some little kid messing around.

...that's really odd....is it like an everyday occurrence??



~Beth

Birds are creepy, I'm sorry.

my school went to the aviary a couple of weeks ago.....I was FREAKING OUT everytime they would walk towards me....I was even threatening to kick them in the head if they came too close *cringes*


~Beth


Be warned, Beth... if you go to NY, and if my memory serves me correctly, you will be sharing the sidewalk with many pigeons...

you might wanna ask Nullandvoid or Howard... they still live in NYC.. it's been many years for me.. but I can recall walking around downtown manhattan and the hungry pigeons would be running alongside me, hoping I would feed them.. they aren't afraid of people, they will come right up to you and eat out of your hand..  ive never heard of one hurting anybody though...

also im not sure if the pigeons hang around uptown or midtown... i can only remember them being downtown in the business district...

I've noticed it about 6 or 7 times in a span of three weeks. I see them in the morning when I  go to buy the newspaper. Then they're usually gone by the afternoon. My theory is that they're a tossed out at night.

That's sooo weird!



I have another oddity that happened tonight....too much to type...I am too slow..Erin will post it when she comes on...for it happened when they both of us were out tonight.

Those flying rats are smart! Though I will see the occasional family of pigeons downtown, those mf's like hanging crowded places. Why? People are always dropping edible stuff and there are lots of heads for target practice.

Columbus Circle and The Port Authority are Pigeon Heaven!

ok...here I am...I will enlighten you all about the oddity that happened to myself and Beth.....


Last night we were following behind my dad's jeep..we were all heading over to the driving range to hit some golf balls....anyway...up ahead in the road I noticed that a telephone pole/wires were laying down in the middle of the road....just as I exclaimed to Beth, "look at those wires in the middle of the road"...I noticed what had caused them to be there.

There was this red convertible sports car literally upside down with all of it's contents dumped all over the road.....the driver had hit the telephone pole, knocked it and all of the wires down and then flipped the car totally over. Then .....all of a sudden the guy who was in the wreck started walking all around his car in a bumbling manner. My dad asked him what happened and I believe he was in shock because he didn't even know how to answer...he just said something like," I don't know...I just swerved off of the road".....I am not sure if the guy had been drinking, etc....but he had a few scratches and blood on him but he was up walking around all over the place......we called 911 and the emergency team was already on their way..


that was very odd to see.


Erin

I saw something really odd today...just thought I would share it with you.


We were down in Pittsburgh, in what is called the "Strip District" (not what you think).....it's pretty cool, in the mornings there are TONS of vendors with their goods all along the streets..etc...anyways, these kind of things ALWAYS attract some very strange rangers....so....we were driving through there as things were wrapping up....and I happen to glance over and what do I see?  There is this middle-aged, nearing old age guy and he is wearing a tight pair of spandex, very high heels, and lipstick...and he was having a very difficult time walking in those heels.....it just struck me as really funny because he didn't look like the "drag queen" type! LOL!

And you didn't take a picture to post??!!!  :o
I would have very oddly loved to have seen that!!!!



~Beth

ya, no...I didn't have my camera with me...otherwise, you all would be seeing a pic of it right about now! ;) ;D



Erin :)

I decided to bump this thread because I am STILL seeing random shoes on the sides of roads. About a month or so ago, we were driving through a parking lot, and there in the middle of the lot was a pair of shoes...and the way that they were positioned looked like the person was literally zapped up by a spaceship......it was SO strange! :o

Just today, as I pulled into the Dairy Queen, and got out of the car, I stepped in an old pair of sh!t stained underwear that was lying on the asphalt.  I had to go into the washroom and clean off my shoes *YUCK* I had a hell of a time trying to eat the Gravy with my fries  :\'(

I often see old clothes on the side of the road.  As I'm driving through the countryside, I've seen old shoes, pants, shirts ... i keep thinking that oen day I'm gonna see the person who owns these things walking along the side of the road buck naked ;D

[quote author=whis

OMFG!! ;D  I nearly fell off my chair laughing at this. That is SOO gross, I would have been SO pissed off. You know what else is gross?  Seeing dirty diapers randomly lying around in parking lots! ::)


I can top that.  Once I was walking through the food aisle in Wal-Mart, when I heard this woman yell real loud.  I looked over and there sitting on the shelf was a soiled diaper full of turds.  Some woman apparently had changed her baby right in the aisle  :o

[quote author=whis

OMG....that is horrible!! :o  It's bad enough that she changed the baby right in the isle...but to leave to dirty diaper there and not throw it away!! UGH! :P


Perhaps she was trying to pass it off as one of the chocolate items that were on the shelves http://www.pure80schat.co.uk/forum/Smileys/smilies_smf-2/buck2.gif

There was an article in the local last week which reminded me of this thread.  There has apparently been a large number of sightings of pairs of trainers or shoes dangling from the telephone wire.  The paper wanted to know people did this.  The "best" explanation offered (according to this week's paper) is that it indicates that drugs are for sale in a nearby house!

yes, I see that quite often too.  AND, I do still see TONS of random shoes on the sides of roads :o ??? :D

On our way to Austin a few weeks ago we spotted a rollerblade at an on ramp
and then a baby stroller ont he left hand side of the interstate next to the concrete barrier!

:o ???

walking back from lunch today I saw something which reminded me of this thread.

On the pavement there was a large fish head with one beady eye staring up at me.

oh wow...that's really unusual, Karen.  Were you anywhere near water?

Only a fountain!

It's the one behind the guys in this picture

To add to the oddness when I was walking to the station in Oxford and then from the train in Didcot home, there was this random trail of single socks!?! Seriuosly it was so bizarre every now and then along the way there was a sock lying on the pavement or on a wall or in a bush................... 

jeez...I wonder what possesses people to leave these kinds of items along the way like that? So odd! ??? :D

Sometimes when I'm walking by I see dead squirrels and pigeons lay on the sidewalk and street  :P

I saw another pair of shoes on the side of the road the other day!! :o

I drove past a single black shoe the other day and thought about looking for this thread

it just confuses the heck out of me...I mean, how and why are they there? It's even stranger when it's a complete pair, just sitting there. :o

I saw a dead bird,I think It was a pigeon lay there in the middle of a cold winter.

Last year just after it rained for a week, there was suddenly in every empty lot around town 100s of butterflies. and it seemed like they were all travelling north east thru traffic...over/around traffic. Almost like they were swarming.
    Half the time shoes are carelessness or fights that end up with things getting thrown out of the vehicle. But here in CA shoes on electric pole wires soemtimes means certain gangs have heaved them up there to mark their territory.  However, that is usually NOT the case.

In Chicago, at least where I lived, if shoes were strung up on telephone wires, it meant drugs were sold in that area.  Black shoes = crack, white shoes = everything else

In October, we were driving down the highway, and a tire just randomly rolled from the side of the road... Came from nowhere!

Doesn't a bird flying into your house mean that you're going to have a baby?  :o


My grandmother said a bird flying into your house meant someone was going to die.  The bird was there to take the soul away. 

alot of times i hear on the radio (traffic reports) that there are mattresses, christmas trees, etc. blocking lanes on the freeway... the other night i heard them say a bathtub was blocking the center lane... ::)
