Memory Lane Meanderings

The one in which I recall 5 things that made me run like my butt was on fire:
  1. one adorable orange fluffy and completely rabid fox that I had to fight off with snowballs in the parking lot of my workplace (just imagine the surveillance video footage).
  2. one out-of-control snowboarder. (It's challenging running on skiis.)
  3. one moose. (I was on a lawn tractor at the time which I thought would startle that moose a.k.a. small dinosaur, but that beast just scoffed at my dinky tractor and charged, so I pooped my pants and ran.)
  4. Adelle Hardie after I spit a loogie in her hair on the first day of Grade 5. (Nope. Not proud.)
  5. one vice-principal.

  2. I always thought moose (mooses? meese?) were slow and friendly, like golden retrievers or something, but with big round noses and antlers.

    No?

  3. LOL. You don't spit a loogie on someone and then just run.

    Oh wait. That's actually what you should do if you ever spit loogies. The real moral is you shouldn't spit loogies at anyone.

  4. @King of New York Hacks I hear ya. Pigeons, especially en masse, can be creepy.
    @Missy Thanks.
    @Didactic Pirate This one didn't run away and my instincts screamed RUN but I probably wasn't in mortal danger unless there was a cub nearby or it was rut season but I didn't stick around to ask.
    @Fickle Cattle Agreed. I am definitely not proud although we did become good friends later.
