    I just watched an old episode of "Beyond Belief" on the SFC channel and it got me to thinking about a weird event in my life. Just wondered if others have had weird or unexplainable things happen to them.

    When my son was just a baby, he had this very bad habit. He loved to play with keys. Turn your back on him, and you might not find your keys for a week (grin). Anyhoo, I went to K-Mart one day and an idea came to me. I'd buy a bunch of blank keys of various sizes/shapes, put them on a keychain, and give them to my kid for his "play keychain." But the clerk said he had a better idea. From a shelf underneath the cash-drawer, he pulled out this old keychain with a bunch of keys on it. He said someone had turned it in a couple of years earlier, found on the store floor, and nobody had come to claim it. So, I said thanks and took the keys/keychain.

    A week later, I went over to my projectionist's house (I was managing a drive-in theater at the time). He had an old classic movie he wanted me to see. And, since he had an Advent Videobeam with a 10-foot screen, I rarely passed up an opportunity to watch things on it. And, I took my kid with me. While the projectionist and I watched the movie, my kid was sitting on the carpet playing with his keychain. Then, the projectionist got up and asked if he could borrow my kid's keychain for a second. He stopped the movie and we went into another room ... where, with one of the keys on the chain, he opened a lockbox he hadn't accessed in over two years. Two years earlier, he'd lost a set of keys ... and the keys/keychain were his!

    What kind of a man are you? The guy is unconscious in a coma and you don't have the guts to kiss his girlfriend?

    One time in a restruant I set my drinking glass down atop a small peice of ice on the table. Well the glass started to move a little bit so I put on my telekinetic act. I put my palms towards the glass with my fingers spreading as wide as they would go. I held my breadth and made my face turn red and shook just a little like I was really straining. I got an audience real quick! The glass stopped and I let out some air and took another big breath and went back to "work". In a few moments the glass started to move again. There were some skeptics, but about 20 people came to watch. Somebody said that I was blowing on the glass to make it move. As luck would have it, my wife sat up straight and took her arms off of the table and the glass started to slide back to me. That put an end to the skeptics. My wife only likes attention for her looking good, so she picks up the glass and says that it is some kind of trick and everybody needs to go sit back down because he don't have any powers. I figure that the show is over and most people just laugh and walk away. My wife is pissed that I would do something that stupid in public and proceeds to tell me so. She sets the glass down on her side of the table, and I am just sitting there both elbows on the table and two fingers on each temple rubbing away the headache that turning my face red caused, when the glass starts back towards me. My wife thinks that I am doing something and so do the gawkers. My wife gets so pissed and embarrassed that she gets up and heads for the door. Being the ham that I am I watch the glass slowly work its way back to me. Having most of my audience back again, I smile and say thats all right I just locked the car doors, she ain't going anywhere. We hardly ever lock the car but this time I had for some reason. I knew that she would probably break a nail trying to open the door when it was locked and make a scene in the parking lot. And right on que, she starts screaming and bitching in front of the windows wanting to know why I locked the doors. I coundn't have planned a more perfect show. There were more oos and aahs than a fireworks show as I walked out and paid the bill. Somewhere in Kentucky I bet there is a legend about the long haired freak that could move glasses and lock car doors from 50'

    Not what I was thinking at first, but it is a better thought than what I was thinking!

    She's not intimidated. She doesn't take any shit here. And when she gets it, she dishes it out right back

    babyboo is another class act here. She put a few PWs in their places this summer when they tested her

    I like to see it because at times (1:00, 1:15, 1:30, 1:45 .....) we need to be taken down a notch when we get carried away. These ladies will do it if needed

    Damb Cap. Butt out. I was trying to work my magic here. And you come busting in all jealous trying to ruin the mood. I've read some of her post. I know that she is all that and more. I was trying to be slick, cool and debonair. Thanks a lot good buddy.

    Just kidding, I do like her style though and she does seem to have her act together. And I do like to make people happy. Especially the ladies!

You are a hot topic around here, err I mean touchy subject, err agh I mean, well lets face it you do tend to draw a crowd and spark off some fires.

    Anyhow thanks for the kind words, Eer ah smiles. Damb woman, talking to you is like talking to a mime. You got laryngitis of the fingers or something? Just kidding


    OK Cap were Cool. I've seen your gun collection. You got more bullets, but I can reach out farther, If we are gonna dual can we do it at 4000 yards? That way when we are done we can drink that beer and still be able to brag

    Once a few years ago me and some friends were all sitting around in a Denny's late at night having some food.

    Anyway a friend is telling me about how he's had this strange dream over the years. The the other friend talks about one he was having also.

    Now here is the strange part... don't freak out or anything but... then they brought the check and they didn't charge for my soda!
