OT Strange things

[BOSSMANPC]

I posted this on the general board but don't know how mny of you go there.

Have you ever had something happen in your life that made you say WTF!!!

Weird story but true. My father in law had cancer and wanted to be home with hospice care. So when he got close to death I called hospice and said you better get a nurse here because I think he's ready to go.

They told me I don't think so it's too early. I replied "unfortunately I have seen a few and trust me ha doesn't have long". So they sent a nurse over.

I contacted my father in laws family and asked them if they wanted to come over to give their good bye's. I figured I would put the stereo on and play some soft music so I picked an oldies station.

When everyone was there the nurse said "I think you right he doesn't have long. A few minutes later he passed and (I swear this is the truth) just as he stopped breathing the nurse checked him and he was gone.

At that exact moment the song Spirit in the sky by Norman Greenbaum came on the radio. Even the hospice nurse said "wow that's freaky" we all just looked at each other like Holy Shit! What weird timing.

Anyone else ever had something like this happen? When ever I hear that song now I think of that day. Very strange.

I guess I'm the only one that had a strange thing happen.

Whenever I'm in the bushes peeping the hot neighbor with giant cans changing clothes, "Somebody's watching me" by Rockwell always seems to come on her radio.


Creepy, eh? Weirds me out every time. Almost makes me stop.

One Christmas night a long time ago, a radio station was all fuzzy and hard to hear. I thought about just turning it off. Then "For Unto Us A Child Is Born" played and the static disappeared...not to come back until the music was over.

My whole life has been a weird story boss I wouldn't know where to begin

Me and some friend were in Portland ME for a Grateful dead concert. Before the show, we decided to go get some beers with the only cash we had. While walking down the street, I said "man I wish I had some money for smokes" and just as the word smokes left my mouth, I saw an unopened pack of Marlboro's on the ground. Me and the three other people who smoked jumped and hollered like we won the lottery. As we continued on to the store, we were talking about what happened, and when I said "I can't believe we found a new pack of Marlboro's, You guessed it, there was ANOTHER unopened pack of Marlboro's on the ground. Brought new meaning to "what a long, strange trip it's been."

He got so irritated hearing "I need a miracle" so many time that day... that God decided to give you cancer.

One time while I was experimenting with LSD my radio starting singing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds to me.

Odd thing is I don't even own a radio.

LOL. What was so funny about the show was Jerry messed up a few songs, stoned I imagine, so for the encore, they played day tripper

Timothy Leary was "experimenting"
Ken Kesey was "experimenting"
Government black ops in the 70's were "experimenting"

This one night I was driving my truck down a back road and noticed some chick walking by herself. I pulled over and said that she shouldn't be out walking all alone at night on a dark road like this. There are too many perverts and crazies out there in this world, and you have to look out for yourself.

I told her that I would give her a ride home right away and that she will be safe. She looked at me for a few seconds as she thought it over and approached my truck door slowly. As she started to open the door, the radio started playing "You Better Run" by Pat Benatar. She quickly looked at me with a scared expression and I said, "Well it's not like I was going to kill you."

That's when she took off running and my hatred for all things Pat Benatar began.

Oh sure, blame Pat Benatar when you were probably right in the middle of a Benatar set.

When I was in high school, my friend and I were driving around and playing mailbox baseball and passed a cop. We were going pretty fast and the cop went to turn around and got caught up in a ditch before he finally got to chasing us. We were about 1/4 mile ahead of him and trying to lose him. As we speed around a wooded corner, we knew there was a RR crossing but we were going way too fast to stop and sure enough, the crossing lights were blinking. We flew across the tracks with the train no more than 50 feet away and typically trains went 50-60 mph through that area. Driving away from the crossing, both shaking like Michael J. Fox, we looked at each other and realized that Crazy Train was playing on the radio. We got away from death and the police. Still to this day we recognise what was playing on the radio before we think about how lucky we are to be alive. True story!

Its not that weird but it seems to me that I often learn or hear about something for the first time then I will hear about it a whole lot right away.

Last week I watched a TV show that mentioned 'number stations". Not really knowing about them I looked them up and read about them. The next night I loaded up Call Of Duty Black Ops and the prologue was about a number station and a code.

I was reading the news a few months ago and read an article about the Voynich Manuscript and that night there was mention of it in a book I was reading (Samantha Bee's comic bio).

I never knew about Archimedes Mirror and read about it one day in a book I was reading then saw that Myth Busters was researching that for an upcoming episode.

Nothing too amazing, just little coincidences that always amuse me.

When I was 18, I started dating a 25 year old. (yay for me!)
the first night I spent over, her alarm went off in the morning, and it was Rod Stewart's "Maggie May".
The exact line when the radio came on was "The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age"

yeah I know, she was only 25, but I thought it was funny.


also getting my wisdom teeth out, the song as I passed out was War's "Low rider".
not lyrically poignant, but the groove was rather suitable.
