things i wish i'd caught on "film"

i was driving home yesterday and i saw this dude in black full race leathers, wearing a solid black helmet with a dark tinted visor, riding a black one of these: http://www.fordfalcons.com/other/images/minibike 4.jpg

my mother thought i had the crazies...suddenly started laughing hysterically. this was on a main thoroughfare during rush hour.
there's also a 3-D flying spaghetti monster billboard someone made up in one of our more "artsy" neighborhoods that i keep meaning to photograph.



ok, your turn. what have you truly seen but missed photographing?

those things get up to 50

and the speed limit on that road is 45 at the highest. i didn't say highway...

i know, i was just saying. those things get up to 50.

It wasn't something I saw personally but something a friend saw.
Pau Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies...in his Porsche Cayenne....in traffic...













two knuckles deep in his nostril digging for gold. The light changed and the car moved before the cameraphone could get a shot off. Drat, lol!

Can't think of anything I've missed. I've mostly been lucky and had a camera at hand to catch these things. The kid on a leash was once of those if you remember.

lol, I did get a picture of a guy with a full back tattoo...who was as hairy as an ape! We were in line to ride a coaster at Six Flags St. Louis in 2001 and he was in front of us a few folks up. He was bald too which added to the irony. It's a regular developed photo though. I mean he had to shave it all off once...

You just reminded me of something I did wish a had a camera for ShallowPockets. I once saw a man with a tattoo of a naked woman on the underside of his armpit. You can imagine what the pit hair represented.

Biker Fox...probably the weirdest/freakiest guy i've ever seen in my life. I see him all the time. Maybe one day, i'll actually have a camera to capture the man. If you've never heard of him, google him. He has his own website and he's been featured on TV before. He's not necessarily the best man to represent Tulsa but oh well. And yes, Biker Fox is his legal name. He had it changed in court.

Here's our weirdo, lol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Mongo

When my dad was newly divorced from my mom he had an attorney for a roomate...also newly divorced. The attorney, in addition to representing my dad in his divorce, handled Prince Mongo's affairs. He was a fairly regular fixture at the house. The artice claims him to be gay, but that is not the case. He's made a few enemies in town to say the least, as he's eccentric and has quite a bit of money, hence some of the less flattering Wiki comments. He likes to "blockbust" hoity toity neighborhoods and "dress up" the houses he's in, lol. He seems like a complete nutjob, but he's quite the shrewd businessman.

A short highway run between me and Lebron James in his Bentley Arnage.

yea, i'd have to see video proof of that sir...
