I would probably walk the opposite way, we are all a bunch of weirdos

btw, still have some of the T-shirts left....I will sell the remaining ones at $15 delivered if anyone wants one. I think I still have all sizes left...just PM me if you want to purchase one...They really are pretty nice and heavy duty, 100% pre-shrunk cotton....with small 2 logos and a nice, large logo on back

I'd be proud to wear a Net54 t-shirt, but I want to earn mine the hard way... by winning a monthly $50 contest!!

And, yes, if I ever saw somebody in public wearing a Net54 t-shirt, I'd just have to approach them and give them a thumbs up.

While in New York City, my dad literally bumped into someone he worked with. They worked together in Wisconsin.

So the story is believable, my dad says that's the one time in his 77 years that happened.

Yes, weird but true.

Back in 1978 I was filling up my car at a gas station in Denver when I noticed the guy next to me had a bumper sticker from the same school in Texas that I was attending. We talked for a little while, then I drove off. A few days later I got a knock at my dorm room on campus, and guess who my new roommate was?

Tony, you just reminded me of a truly horrible joke. Have you heard the two riddles: 1st is about a man who loses a brick while trying to build a house. 2nd is about a cigar-smoker and an old lady with a poodle.

When I graduated from High School a buddy and I went out to California for a vacation...we were hanging out on the beach in Long Beach and my pal told me to look over my shoulder at a hawt chick...I turned around and looked and thought she looked really familiar....then within seconds her brother walked right past me and we both about flipped. It was one of my high school classmates. 4 or 5 days later we ran into them again at Universal Studios.

And this is the reason I don't play the lottery, my one in a million chance was wasted on a chance encounter 1,500 miles from home.

Shouldn't this post be on B/S/T?

Does it come slabbed or with a jsa psa/dna sticker?

On the note of strange coincidences. I was in Sydney, Australia, either the time I was there for the Olympics or in 2006 when I travelled there for my destination wedding (6 years ago this past Saturday), and a person walked by me wearing a sweatshirt with the name of the town in Massachusetts where I had owned a house for 9 years. They were from that town, Walpole, and were on vacation. Odd to meet someone 12,000 miles away with a connection.

I saw a Net54 shirt in the Cleveland airport a few months ago. Passed by on the escalator. Didn't track him down <>

I was on a mission trip to Trinidad with a local Christian radio station and at the compound we were staying at there was a girl with another organization there I saw her wearing a shirt with my Elementary School Name on there which is in a small town in NE (Current population 15k).

I approached her and asked her about it. She looked at me strange and said she had never heard of the place, she had picked it up at goodwill and that she and her group were from Texas.

So now I don't approach people based on the shirt they are wearing, I assume they just bought it at goodwill and move on.

Unless you live on a beach or in a nudist colony, you must not talk to many people with that approach! I have an opposite approach, I don't talk to people out in public who aren't wearing pants/shorts...but from a distance I will tell them to go to a goodwill if they need to. Seems safer that way to me. To each his own I guess

Last January we visited Thailand. I live in a small town in northern Wisconsin. On the leg of our flight from Chicago to Shanghai, I was wearing a golf club shirt from my club in Wisconsin. The flight took the polar route. I had a question for the flight attendant as we were nearing the North Pole. She saw my shirt and went crazy because her brother-in-law has a summer home there. We talked for quite awhile and my glass was never empty all the way to Shanghai, and no, we were not in first class. Finding someone at North Pole, who had been to our dinky little town, is a long shot in my book.

I was once sitting in a Denny's in Atlanta, talking to a friend about a girl I used to know in Texas. No lie - a girl in the next booth popped her head over and looked at me. It was her. I had no idea she had ever left Texas. We re-established our friendship and hung out together for several years. She moved again and I have no idea where.

If she responds to this post, I am going to crap.

So that's why people were turning around and walking fast.
