I've seen it on a lot of flip dot signs... but on an LED... that's new to me...

Getting a message from the hogger through the intercom of the GO Train about some crazy person on the train with an axe, meanwhile the guy was sitting 5 ft behind me in the 5A coach with the axe in the buggy..cops showed up at Eglinton to subdue the person, turns out he bought it from the flea market or something and the cops just got his information and told him to put it away since he said it was a "collectors item".

Because that's what people do on facebook. They spend hours looking for someone they know, someone that knows someone they know, or someone that knows someone who knows someone they know, so they can add them, increasing the amount of friends they have, thus making them "more popular".

My mom quickly learned the downside of poking people on facebook...

I must have been imagining things.

I woke up about 10 minutes ago, but I was VERY certain 20 minutes ago, I saw the time as 7:50. All of a sudden, the hour hand moved from the 7 to 9 in 10 minutes! :)

I sure hope I don't hallucinate in class today, I have a test to worry about, plus two tests tomorrow.
For those keeping track of the YRT repaints see THIS post.

Heres some:

Yesterday at work (Tim Hortons) an older male who was a customer had his coffee cup walked into the employee room of our store, and then walked back out and said "Thanks" and flashed his cup in my face. I said excuse me multiple times where he ignored me and left the store. He's done this MANY times now. This guy is messed.

Working drive thru at work, and a foreign man orders on the headset, and I couldn't understand him. Heres how the convo went.

Foreign man - Yes I'd like a medium $%#X^@#$.
Me - Huh? A what? Can you repeat your order?
Foreign man - A MEDIUM $@&@!#!?#!!!!
Me - I cant understand you can you repeat it please?
Foreign man - Ohhh my godd!!! Im coming to the window.
*Comes to the window, and I open it.
Me - Sorry what was that you ordered?
Foreign man - ARE YOU F**KIN STUPID? I ORDERED A MEDIUM BLACK AND A MEDIUM BLACK, SUGAR!!! (Coincidentally speaks perfect english at the window)
Me - Dont call me stupid, its you I couldn't understand.
Foreign man - F**k you!!
**Drives off..

I saw this when I was returning home on a VIVA bus today:

Near Yonge and Arnold in Thornhill is a Hyndai dealership. The have a waving inflatable tube man in front of the dealership. Today, it was being blown around in the wind and the fan that inflates is didn't seem to be on full power. As a result, it looked like the inflatable tube man was humping a bush (no pun intended)! :P
Anyone who would sacrifice liberty for a good reputation deserves an even worse reputation.

Well this is an everyday WTF moment, but on my way home from school theres a man that stands at Jackson Square and talks to pigeons. He has a nickname of Proffessor "X" He's like:

Prof. X: Hello, how are you?
Pigeon: coo coo.
Prof. X: Good good, so am I

:P

My basement neighbour is schizophrenic and attacks his garbage, but that isn't as funny and benign as pigeon whisperers.

Group of guys on the Route 27 Upper James (D40LF 0716) having a HUGE conversation about SHIT! It went on for like 10 minutes talking about how it burns your ass, to stuff like how it feels when it lands on your hands!

I've seen people sell drugs on buses before. I've never seen it downtown, though. Go to any suburban shopping mall at night here, and at least one person will ask if you want to buy pot, or are selling any.

Today me and my friends were walking down the street today towards my school after getting lunch and this Asian guy on a bike started staring at us as we walked towards him. Then as we passed him he said "got no homework today?". We continued walking and never answered him and he just rode off in the other direction on his bike :).

LMAO! Sounds like he was trying to pick you up on his bike! :P

Well today, I saw a very strange guy at work that I am used to seeing, but havent saw him since summer. So he walks into the the store and goes to the washroom. Now usually when he comes in he HATES when people use their manners to him. If you say "thank you" or "please" he will simply yell out "I EXPLAIN!" Mind you, he is a foreign man so thats why he sounds like that, but speaks good english. When he comes out of the washroom, I call my friend over and "bet" him that this man will get mad at me for saying my manners, because my buddy is new at my work. Here is an *almost* word for word re-ennactment of the convo:

Me- "Can I help you?"
*he walks to the counter.
Me- How are you?
Customer- "I am good.. I EXPLAIN!"
*pauses for about 15 seconds..
Customer- "How are you?"
Me- "I am pretty good!"
Customer- I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU, I WAS ASKING MYSELF!"
Me- "Okay, so what can I get you?"
Customer- "Just an apple fritter."
Me- "Anything else?"
Customer- "Noo."
*he hands me a dollar."
Me- "Thank you!"
Customer- "I EXXXXPLAINNNN!!!"
Me- "Have a goodnight sir!"
Customer- I explain.. (*says it calmly..)
*walks out of the store..

Well me and my friend had a HUGGGE laugh for like 10 minutes!

Its ALMOST like the "I KILL YOU!" line in the video "Achmed the Dead Terrorist."

Wow.. :P
