I saw a dead body laying in the street after getting hit by a car last night, creepy site for sure.

I saw a dead body laying in the street after getting hit by a car last night, creepy site for sure.

Ambiguous grammar aside (I'm assuming you aren't the one who was hit by a car last night), I must ask:  was it already a crime scene with police on site, or was it just a dead body and some awkward gawkers?

I'm electing to go with the generic non-personalized plates at this time, so the number they issued me starts with SFV. Oh dear... now I'm coming up with acronyms such as:

• A friend suggested "Sasquatch Finding Vehicle"

Sasquatch Flattening Vehicle

Sasquatch Flattening Vehicle

Special Fluid Valve
Stunning Fluke Victory
Special Flavor Vacuum
Scuderia Ferrari Victim
Sudden False Vacation
Stegosaurus Faction Van

I do things like this when I'm stuck behind the same vehicle for a while, my buddies and I also did this a bunch when we were first driving. Can't really do this in Alabama but you can try to guess what obscure county they're from.

I once was assigned a "Satan plate": letter combination of DVL.

If there is a kenarmy does that mean there is a kenspaceforce?

It wasn't a crime scene with police on site when I originally saw it. I saw the body before the cops got there. Heard someone run in and say someone just got hit, I said a pedestrian? And the guy said yeah. So three of us ran outside and there were people trying to help him, he was dead he wasn't moving, no pulse no nothing. 911 had already been called and within two minutes there were Saginaw city, Michigan State Police and Saginaw County Sheriff's there, when they realized that the guy was dead the parmedics showed up. It was an ugly scene for about three hours.

Did the driver stop, or was it a hit and run?

He stopped and cooperated with the police.

I used to think Roadgeekteen was way out there with Mars, but after observing MMM lately, he's way beyond that. In fact MMM has made it out of the solar system.

And it's a good thing that any aliens will be able to first meet such a worthy representative of our planet. Both our races will not be let down at first contact.

Are you banking on humanity making contact with the Owl People or Alpha Centauri B?

Especially if they're hungry.

Most likely the Zeta Retoculum star system. Although those aliens better make sure their stars fit the cosmic grid.

Hey, I actually recognized the humor that time!

[roadman65]

I honestly think this guy is giving us a ride in his spaceship.  He is really toying with us as he rebuts humor about him in an alien way.

More like out of the universe and stuck in a dead one where all other matter has long since decayed away, with no nearby objects save for an ultramassive black hole a few billion light years away.  It's why he seems to have little better to do but argue about fictional highways, impractical aviation, and sexy Star Trek scenes on an internet forum.  Maybe he'll get lucky and be rescued by a wayward starship that ended up there after a failed engine experiment or contact with the electroweak force or something.

I prefer to think it's the universe where so many trillions of years have gone by that even the super massive black holes have dissolved via Hawking Radiation.

^ Maybe he can ponder the positronium atoms, assuming Dark Energy allows them to form.

Black holes are a scam.

Yesterday my family and I, plus my grandma and aunt went to Myers Steakhouse in Salamanca for my grandma's birthday dinner. I ordered a dish called Chicken Wisconsin, which is two pan-fried chicken breasts covered in a cheddar cheese sauce. It is swimming in the sauce. I ate one chicken breast there and took the other one home for lunch today.

Often food is named after some idyllic, exotic, or famous place. But Wisconsin?

I wonder if any newcomers to Michigan had an eye-opening moment where they found out "Major's" (seen in print) and "Meyer's" (heard out loud) are the same supermarket chain.

I am from Wisconsin.  Never heard of it.

Perhaps Chicken Forward was too oblique.

Also, I figured it was "mee-jerz". Never underestimate my ability to bet on that green double-zero on a roulette wheel.

It is a little hard to believe that the geometry of spacetime gets all fucked up just because there was too much hydrogen in one area LOL!

And it was founded by one Frederik G. Meijer, not to be confused with Fred G. Meyer who started his own hypermarket chain, Fred Meyer, in the Northwest.
