Of course you have. As soon as I posted that I thought to myself "someone from here has probably bagged at least one while hunting."

Probably something in a museum.

I saw an F250 get out the left lane the other day to let someone pass. I've never seen that before.

on legit rarities, I've seen (and now own) an arming pin for a nuclear weapon (my Dad flew the plane that dropped it).

Only MLB game I've been to - 2005, Twins @ Dodgers. Dodger 1B Hee-Seop Choi hits three HR's in his first three at-bats. Not all that rare, but pretty cool to see.

Also saw a space shuttle returning from a mission...forgot to put the garbage can out, so I got out of bed at like 4 AM to see a massive streak, almost like a fireball, of light screaming across the sky. It kind of scared me for a minute, as in WTF is that?!?

I've played a lot of poker and haven't seen that....I imagine the bets after the river were insanity, either that or everybody was scared of the higher straight flush.


There were only two of us in the end including myself. There was a high hand promotion going on at the time.. I don't remember the exact conversation but we went check/check and both ended up splitting the high hand. as well. I would have called a shove anyway since there is no way I could fold a straight flush.

Damn that’s crazy. Who was responsible for not putting the pin in? Imagine going to the trouble of building a nuclear bomb and flying it to the target and actually successfully dropping it to only find out someone forgot to arm it. I bet your dad was pissed.

UFO in the early AM. Checking muskrat traps 4 am in the morning in the cattails ring around a irrigation lake in eastern Colorado. Damn thing move around like nothing I have ever seen before. Instant acceleration.

Typically the pin is in it to protect it from being armed. Once you pull the pin, then that weapon is “hot” (for a nuke there are tons more safety nets). You would pull it in your pre flight before take off.

I am wondering if you saw a melanistic fox squirrel. They can be black as well and are the largest squirrels in North America

I was just fukn with you. I figured it was something like that. That’s pretty cool to have though. What mission was your dad on that they actually dropped an armed nuclear weapon? I’m assuming this was a training mission.

Nice. I blew up the back of the hole with a 3 iron from 220. Went straight up in the air and landed about 2 feet past hole

I figured as much, but the name can be misleading and I wouldn’t be telling the truth if I said no one has ever taken off with them still in. But a nuke is pretty serious business so I’m hoping they didn’t forget it.

I wasn’t the OP, so it wasn’t my dad. I just so happen to deal with nukes on occasion.
