Not the weirdest, I have too many and they are all bonkers, but one of the more "cohesive" and memorable ones I had was... 15-20 years ago.
I was Rick Mercier (this is all gonna be very Canadian brace yourselves) and I was interviewing Guy Lelibre or whatever the Cirque du Soleil guy's name is. I was meeting him downtown so he could show my their newest greatest marvel, they were raising their tent using the CN tower as the centre pole.
As we watched in awe all these carneys working diligently, he asked me to grab onto this section of the tent. It had the texture of dryer hose, like a midweight plastic bag with thin wire ribbing. We grabbed on tightly and all of a sudden we were being pulled up hundreds of feet as we rode the tent up to the top, with tons of other Carneys in pairs doing the same as us. As we got near the top Guy pulled a release and the section of the tent we were on separated from the main tent and became/secretly already was a hang glider, and we started sailing east out over the beaches area.
All the other teams were hang gliding with us, soaring along the shore of the lake, looking for a place to land safely. As Guy steered us down and we landed I caught the eye of the Tin Man (from Wizard of Oz) and I thought "this is ridiculous, I've only met that guy one other time and it was also while I was hang gliding and landed near him! I'll have to go explain myself!"
So we landed, and there was a small interlude where I was me and not Rick Mercer and I found a group doing yoga and one of them was a coworker, and she bought a sandwich to give to a homeless person, but this person wasn't Toronto homeless* they were Sarah McLachlan singing about you starving in a third world homeless and I just felt so bad to have been hang gliding.
Then I realized we were pretty far from the core and the grand opening was approaching fast and I started searching for Guy. I found him and was like "how will we get back in time?!" And he smiled like Willy Wonka and looked over the horizon, where dozens of white horses**, all without saddles but wearing the feather hat thing, came galloping towards us.
They all split into pairs and peeled away to each of their respective Carney hang gliding construction team members, and without stopping we did the thing where you grab the horse as it's running by and suddenly are riding. And with that, Guy, me (Rick Mercier) and the rest of the team galloped back towards the CN tower, which was now a giant tent, to witness the grand opening just in the nick of time! Fin
I will have outted myself with that post, as I share that dream whenever someone asks this type of question.
*Homelessness is a serious problem. I don't mean to be insensitive, I'm trying to use few words to express an idea.
**Cirque du Soleil does not use animals, it's kinda their whole thing, so this is the least realistic part of the dream but I like to think they are just union horse labour from the local RCMP/Toronto Police stables, or maybe the Medieval Times Horses trying to earn some extra cash....
A Cardassian trial. When he gets to the courthouse they will tell him the verdict they already reached and then how they got to it before he is executed.
Exactly. This is the first I've heard of this (thankfulky, I do try and limit the garbage I read) but no gamer is gonna see a world record holder and not think "that guy must be grinding on Twitch 60 hours a week!" Why wouldn't they assume he was cheating?
It's both. Otherwise noone would be dumb enough to do such a high profile, high stress, and apparently low paying job. I do want the smartest, hardest working and best people leading my country, not some random guy would couldn't get a better job.
Shower thought back at you: won't we as a society just move the decimal place? Like maybe this has happened with other currency (I remember stories of devalued cash being carries in a wheelbarrel and used for wallpaper) but say the USD gets so devalued with inflation over time, that you can't buy even the cheapest in-store item for less than $100. Like a lollypop off the tree is $100.
Wouldn't we just start calling a hundo a buck and our bank system would do a switchover? One day your account would read $6,878 and the next it would be $69 (nice) and nothing else would change? You were making $420/hour and now its $4/hour.
It's a bit more complicated than that. Our society is held up by a lot of unspoken rules and guidelines, and frankly it's a miracle shit is rolling along as well as it is (which isn't well btw, but still amazing)
When they first learned about sovcitz they probably started testing some boundaries. Maybe they stopped paying for parking or something, and didn't get a ticket (because you don't always get one) and they thought it was because of the note they wrote on their dash.
Now they swap their licence plate for the stupid "traveller" one, and stop paying their renewal. Hey short term they win. Nobody pulls them over (because nobody notices or even worse a cop does and thinks "no thanks. Not worth my sanity") and they realize they have cracked the code.
There are tons of little things like that, little encouragements that lead them to believe they have it figured out when it's just luck or the odds or they didn't realize nobody cares what ID you show at the door. When something finally gives, it's usually a serious issue like child support or a criminal matter, and that's when shit gets real fast and if they weren't grown adults who should know better, I'd kinda feel sorry for them for being blindsided.
Tl;dr you can go a long time doing stupid shit and not have any consequences, but that's not helpful to society and also the FO phase of this type of FA is very sudden and usually very serious.
I'd love to know what she was denied. While I'm guessing it's regular bullshit if it was something serious then it's the health insurance company that is threatening her and doing her harm.
But this is fucking stupid. That judge should have to spend the same amount of time in jail as she ends up doing and she should sue. She should be charged with uttering threats or whatever, but there is ZERO reason she should be stuck with $100,000 bail. She is not a threat, even IF (big if) she did make one.
You truely don't see how dumb you are, and now I just feel bad.
Don't know if you were home schooled or what, (that would explain your weird boner for accusing others of not being properly educated) but when you are the only one pointing out your own ignorance, I don't think it's fair to keep egging you on.
Hey stinky, if you click the blue 'metaphor' link you posted, you can actually read the definition of metaphor. Best do that next time before making yourself look a fool by not knowing what it means and then posting the definition without reading it.
Literally everyone, looking at their calendar wondering when they are supposed to take 24hours to starve themselves for... For what?
Seriously even if this actually helped the situation his privilege isn't just showing, it's flopping around while his panties are around his ankles. Who has 24 consecutive hours a week for this BS?
Wtf are you saying "the belief" that health care is a human right?? You can go believe in your God or your orange man, health care IS a human right and "believing" in it is ridiculous....
