I love it when this happens to me. Such a proud feeling.

chucked a paper coffee cup in the general direction of a bin, and the wind carried it straight in. and as always, i was the only one who was around to see it.

oh - an addendum to initial interrogatory - did you cheer or clench your fist in victory when this occurred, even though it wasn't your intention in the first place?

Oh and God doesn't THROW asteroids. He wills or commands them or something. Or he gets Baby Jesus to push them.

Are those Smiths lyrics?

William, it was really nothing.

not that this has anything to do with the thread, but i just accidentally broke a cocktail glass that was perched on the edge of my computer table. me = klutz.

Look, NordicSkz, sometimes Baby Jesus is busy, okay. And the fist was clenched. If you want something done right...

A goldfish and a flying star: landed at the top of the Colonne Vendôme then the star blushed and the fish started to sing.

Jody, I think that this is one of those threads that has a birth for every anecdote should it choose to sail in. Your contribution was very worthwhile. Though I'm sorry to hear about your glass. I'm enjoying a nice Cab and I hope my goblet doesn't suffer the same fate.

God clenched his fist... and thats how tornadoes became.

One day back in the ol' restauranting days, I was washing dishes, and my friend Jonathon was prepping about twenty feet away. He was throwing pine nuts at me and giggling. I was in a bad mood and was not amused, and I tell him "if you throw one more fucking pine nut at me!...", just at the same point he had lobbed another at me. This one landed directly in my EAR CANAL. Shock and awe!

THAT is the kind of thing I'm talking about.

Not all that improbable, but one time when i wz sleeping in my cat wouldn't stop meowing outside my door. without opening my eyes i reached for a penknife/switchblade thingie i had next to my bed, popped it open, and hurled it across the room at the door, in hopes of making enough noise to scare the cat off. it stuck in the door blade-first. i broke the knife a week later trying to replicate that throw :(

When I was about 15 or so, I was at a skating rink with my sister and had just spent my last bit of pocket change to get a coke from the machine. We're just standing around waiting for my brother to finish hockey or something so I crack it open, not even had a sip yet, and my sister decides to lob a penny up in air towards my drink - as a joke - and it goes straight into the tiny drink hole. The odds! To even do this manually it barely fit - had to be at just one very specific flukey angle. I almost killed her.

Canadians be playin' hockey!

Canadians be playing hockey at "the" Memorial Arena.

i must have been about 5 or 6 years old and i was fighting with my brother and he threw me down and started runnign away. i picked up a toy spade and chucked it, it arced perfectly and smacked him on the head while he was running away, flooring him.

I once threw a bottle cap at the trash can, and it hit the wall, ricocheted around, and came back to me.

You know those icecube trays you twist to loosen the icecues? The other night I twisted one and a single icecube shot out, up in the air, and landed in my glass which was lying on the counter in front of me. It was way cool, but no-one was there to see it, which is always the way. I should practice it as a trick for party guests. but I doubt it'll ever happen again.

Many years ago, at school, we were having a fight, throwing anything at each other we could find. I threw a pen and it landed in another guys's top pocket, lid up. It was as if I had said to him, 'You're such a geek - here's a pen for your shirt pocket'.

At, like, seven years old I went to a shitty hotel buffet. My sister and I were laughing and a fat avon piglady at the booth beside ours kept turning towards us and shooting deathrays. She was eating vicious-soire (I have no fucking clue on the spelling, but that seemed apropos) and kept making audible, condescending, comments to her husband a la 'Well, isn't the atmosphere in here nicer than it used to be.' This, mind you, is in the worst buffet in town. So I loaded up a slivered carrot on my tongue and shot it in her general direction hoping it might land on her meaty porcine back or in the wirey pink hair compressing her crown. But god intervened and directed it straight onto the spoon of vicious-soire, which she shoveled into her snout a second later. Brilliant!

The house I grew up in had a beautiful lamp post out front. One winter's day, just for fun, I threw a snowball at maximum range (possibly 200 feet away) right through the glass on the front side, through the bulb and out the backside. As usual, the folks were displeased.
