I just nearly ran over a man dressed as a giant chicken |
|
I was coming home from getting a massage, so I was in that very mellow post-massage headspace you get. I was listening to the Sahara Hotnights and loudly and tunelessly singing along to "With Or Without Control," when all of a sudden, I see this flash of yellow darting into the street.
I slam on my brakes - groceries flying everywhere - and see the creepy visage of a giant chicken-man staring into my windshield at me. It was so insane, I almost screamed. I felt like I was in a David Lynch movie. Car, driver and giant chicken man were all unharmed, fortunately.
It occured to me, however, that nothing normal ever happens to me; no, it couldn't just be an unobservant random jaywalker that I almost hit. In my bizarre life, it has to be a guy dressed as fucking poultry.
I'm just kind of shaking from it. Just thinking of how I was *this* close to being one of matcom's stories in the Lounge.:eyes:

1. unobservant random jaywalker - DRESSED AS A CHICKEN!!!! |
|
that is truly inspired surrealism. Don't fret about future "why did the chicken walk in front of your car" jokes.

Glad you got away safely. Nothing normal ever happens to me either so I can sympathize.

How frightening! But LOL, this is the funniest subject line I've seen in a while...
Forgive my laughter... :hug: :yourock:
Glad everything turned out OK, though.
(Maybe it was some kind of sign, hm?? :D)

I can just picture my own reaction to a giant chicken staring at me through the windshield after I almost turned him into a chicken salad.
