Comment: I grew up 2 miles from Disneyland and first job was there. In my
senior year of high school, a group of us went to the part for the day.
We were super clean cut...and our friend Bill had sewn a patch of the US
flag over the rear pocket of his jeans, to repair a tear. He was taken
aside at the entrance and told he had to go home and change for
admitance.......no patches of the flag would be displayed on someones
'seat'. The year 1971.

I see someone's been reading the We've Got Mail threads.

Well, at least it's more nutritious than sucking on pennies...

You weren't the only one who read that incorrectly. But then again, I was just in the thread titled, "Characters shaped like male genitalia get the word out". :o

Comment: I was watching a show on tv the today and i was singing the
yellowcard song "Ocean Avenue" to myself. The program i was watching was
about the Amityville Horror. I think that the song has something to do
with the killing. Here is a part of the lyrics i suspect to have a
resemblance;

"There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both 16 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night"


I hope you will consider my submission and look into it further.

Comment: I would like to comment on the $2 bill story. One time I had a $2
bill and my best friend and I tore the bill in half. She kept one half as
did I.
Then in 1989 she died in a car wreck. While going through her things
someone found her half and returned it to me.
I then shared the other half with another friend in 1993. Within a year
she too died. She died of a heroin overdose in which her boyfriend ended
up standing trial.
I just thought the story was interesting.

You'd be surprised. A high school friend of mine once showed up at a play rehearsal with a whole stalk/head/plant thingy of celery, which was promptly devoured by bored cast members. The play had nothing to do with celery, so I don't know why he brought it. I have odd friends.

You find the story of your friends tragic deaths "interesting"? And why would you give to someone else after it's history the first time around? And why *head explodes in sheer amusement*

Comment: I've just spent some time looking through your urban legends.
The story about the dog jumping out the window after a ball reminded me of
an incident that happened a few years ago.

My wife and I adopted a stray cat when we bought our first house. The cat
had 2 kittens, born in our back bedroom closet. We loved to come home and
play with the kittens, letting them chase a string or whatever.

One night, lying in bed, Magic (the black kitten) was pouncing on my toes
when I would move them under the quilt. I moved my foot off the side of
the bed and wiggled it. He jumped through the air about 2' to attack my
foot.

As he jumped, I moved my foot back onto the bed. The poor kitten fell
right off the bed when I pulled my foot out from under him. I felt pretty
bad about it, but couldn't help laughing anyway.

It's not a high dive out of a 13 story apartment, but this one did happen.

Magic and his brother lived with us for over 18 years until we had to put
them to sleep a couple of years ago.

Yeah that's the same. Two feet vs thirteen stories. I can see where you got the connection.

Comment: Re: Great Balls of Misfire

This urban legend reminds me of an incident that actually DID happen to a
couple of friends and me. This was back in 1990, we were on a motorcycle
trip through Nova Scotia. We'd just gotten off the Scotia Prince Ferry in
Yarmouth, NS and were queued up to go through customs.

My friend's wife was first in line, and the Canadian Inspector was
obviously MUCH younger than any of us. After going through the usual
banter, he asked her "Have you brought anything into Canada for your
personal protection?"

My friend's wife (who has as twisted a mind as any man I've met) looked at
him for a moment, and then just snickered.

The Inspector IMMEDIATELY turned beet red and stammered: "I mean, guns,
knives, anything like that?"

She looked at him all wide-eyed and innocent and proclaimed: "Oh NO!
Nothing like THAT!"

The rest of us were processed very quickly (but we were all processed).

Comment: On my wedding night at our wedding reception my new husband got so drunk and violent that he through his drink in my face (infront of all our family and friends) smashed my parent's car, punched a hole in the wall of the cheap room they gave us because during all the commotion they gave away our bridal sweet. Top that!!! (we are divorced now.)
