    Someone deliberately pitched a CD at Raleighdon it hit him in the sternum.

    but the best one i know is a guy from Canada. he's 6'2" 200 pounds sort of dude. Someone threw a bag of ice at him, hit him in the chest. He had extensive bruising later. Lucky for the truck driver, he did NOT catch up to them. He did get their plates and report them..

    Half-eaten hamburger--disgusting! It didn't actually hit me, but I was so shocked I didn't get the license plate number. I hope I'll have greater presence of mind if that sort of thing happens again.

    Sorry, horribly OT...

    I really feel for both the boy and the hedgehog.

    I couldn't resist some unproductive googling. But they are really cute:




    A hedgehog with broken bones (after colliding with a cyclist?):


    And finally, how to wash a hedgehog (you've always wondered):

    Ok, sorry, I will go to work now!!!!

    Those hedgehogs are so cute!!

    I had a boy throw a dead bird at me in grade school. Does that mean he liked me?

    While cycling - an unopened can of soda, general paper trash and a tin of tobacco (gotta love tobacco country!).

    Well as a Sand scupltor I have had a lot thrown at me! My husband had a metal skewer thrown at him from a 2nd story in a mall. Landed right next to him. Scary!
    Funny I just reminding him of that and he is walking around right now saying "fricken psychopath" I hope that kid is in jail! That was 20 years ago when that happend.
    I had food, rocks,toys and balls thrown at me as well. Nice people out there. And this is while we are sculpting. Oh the best for me was when someone shot a marble at the sculpture with a gun and it hit the back of my leg. I had a huge welt! And this was shot from the other side of a wall at a fair we were at in Colorado. We saw the house where it came from. We told the police on the grounds and they went to the house but the kid denied it.
    it was a good thing it had not hit me in the head it wouldd have knocked me out! You would not think Sand sculpting could be dangerous?
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
