i just had a dane cook moment!!!
except that i was in my living room, napping on the couch, and i heard it so i came out. you were grilling out back? she was taking walk...i was in my living room...and i heard it...so i came out...
seriously though. i was just about to try to take a quick nap, and all of a sudden heard this loud screech followed by an equally loud *boom*. and for a half second, i thought for sure it was going to be a, "damn, it sounded like it was gonna HIT!!" sort of situation. yeah, not so much. it was actually a little scary to hear.
so i looked out my window at the side of the house, and already people are amassing from all over. and then i realized i had no shoes on and snickered, saying to myself, "fuck shoes..." so i grabbed my sandals to put on and then went outside. people, of course, were on their porches. those who were farther away walked down the street to get a better look. even though it was raining. some guy walking by stopped on my lawn before the alley. and he had no shoes on. lol!! i tried to make sense of what happened...a blue car stopped at the yellow/red, the tan one behind it, obviously going WAY too fast thought he was going to go through it. the tan car had it's whole front end crunched in, horn blowing. surprisingly enough, the driver of that car was out walking around and said, "just wanted to make sure you're ok...."
i walked up to the shoeless guy, to confer about what happened, and then mentioned the dane cook bit specifically the shoeless people, and then i said, "i was in my kitchen, cleaning a dish, and i heard it so i came out..." he apparently did not get the joke because he proceeded to tell me that he was in his yard grilling. i decided it wasn't worth explaining the joke. he then commented on the asshole in an orange hoodie trying to direct traffic, saying, "why do people do that...?" and i said, "because everyone wants to get involved...seriously, listen to the dane cook bit, because this is it right here..."
and now, almost 10 minutes after the accident, despite the fire department being RIGHT around the corner on john r, i am hearing sirens. nice. oy, looks like a mess out there now, but everyone seems to have gone...they probably got in trouble because they didn't do the buddy system like dane talked about in his bit...
heh, this guy...shoes.... :)
