QotD: Finders Keepers
What's the strangest thing you've ever found in the street?
I don't know if this exactly counts, but one cold winter's day, a friend and I were driving to pick up another friend at the airport in Missoula, Montana. On the way there, on one of Missoula's major roads, there was a cat. Dead, frozen to the street.
That in itself wasn't that strange, at least not for the cold north where animals sometimes tragically freeze to the asphalt. What was strange--kind of David Lynch or maybe Coen Brothers strange--was that a man was outside shoveling the snow off the sidewalk and decided to try to pry the cat off the street. It was still well below freezing, so the cat had not thawed a bit. This fine citizen started hacking at the cat corpse with the snow shovel. To no avail. The thing was frozen solid and remained intact and firmly attached to the road.
I know. I'm probably going to hell for laughing at such a thing, but it was funny and surreal and also awful.
I just realized the title of this is "Finders Keepers." If you want a hacked-at, cryogenically-preserved cat corpse, have at it, friend.
