I still remember the "Paranormal's Alternator" incident.

The event that happened between me and Paranormal is when he came out to my city for a few days, and stayed at my parents place in summer 2012. We were on our way to Muskegon to check out Michigan's Adventure, which is a big amusement park here in Michigan.

Anyways we were on a street, that is a one way, and were going to turn onto a side street and this red van comes out of fucking nowhere and attempts to pass us as we are turning onto the street and it ends up smacking right into us. We ended up running him off the road, and he smacked into a telephone pole. He gets out of his van and is all huffy puffy with "What the hell are you two thinking hitting me"

Now I'm a small guy, but Paranormal is a big guy, and this guy was about my size too, older though, maybe 50s, and the moment he saw Paranormal he went ghost white and was pretty sheepish. Paranormal can be intimidating in person, but he's nothing but a big teddy bear

Anyways the guy was under the impression we were at fault, which we were not, he was, but Paranormal ended up paying the guy off (Was it 20 or 40 bucks?) and he got back in his van and went away and his van was fucked. The front end was mangled, the passenger side had a big gash in it where Paranormal's front end tore it. And Paranormal's car? Only a few paint scratches and some red paint on the car. XD

I theorize that the guy didn't have a license or maybe his car was stolen, because I suggested calling the police to report an accident, which is the legal thing to do, and the guy looked at me in horror with that "The fuck would you do that for" look. Its not normal to pay someone off when an accident occurs... especially such a low amount of money. There was more than $40 worth of damage to his van XD.

But an interesting twist to this whole event happened about two years ago, I was reading the news and noticed a story about a road rage that happened here, and the guy who instigated the road rage was the same guy who we hit in 2012. He was arrested, and the car he was driving was indeed stolen, but it wasn't the same one we had hit. He was sentenced to several years in prison for a list of other things too, had warrants out, whole nine yards.

Maybe I should have called the police that day. Would have saved us some money, Paranormal

I still have the paint on the front bumper, I always get questions about it. But, I manage to change subjects about it because when people ask me it's usually in the heat of the moment. I just tell them someone must've dinged off my car when I had it parked somewhere, the car's twelve years-old so they believe it everytime I say it. The car is going to crap anyhow, just waiting for the engine to cop out before I invest in a newer used car.

I think I gave the guy an odd amount of cash, I think it was like 28 to 33 bucks. Because I had bills, but some dollar coins inside my wallet that day for some reason as well. I know either you or your mom gave me some coins in general that weren't needed or you thought you couldn't use.. which were still valid US currency (Susan B. dollars, I think)?

Anyways, it was that and when I drove down to Cedar Point later that year in July. I almost pinballed off someone's Saturn Vue driving down to Sandusky, Ohio - Cedar Point is currently the United States' most well-known amusement park internationally. (Don't know about it? Google is your friend)

But we have two occasions coming up in October where my mom and dad need rides back from to the airport, and I'm REALLY not looking forward to that. I'm thinking about hiring an Uber driver to get my dad back from the airport and letting my brother/dad figure out how to get my mom there/back. Driving is over-rated...

*waits for majorant element*

1. It seems one wound from my wisdom teeth removal inflamed... and I thought it was over.
2. My Black Mesa tshirt "broke" when I put it in the dryer (Logo and text are all wrinkly, ripped and discoloured... I can still use it as a pajama shirt, though )

What a fairly salty day on a server I play on for Minecraft... being a moderator sucks at times and holy crap today was an example of the suckfest it can be! -_-
