There's a trope about people and their dogs looking alike: I once saw a three legged dog being walked by a person with a leg cast.

When I was a kid, I fell asleep on a camping trip after eating way too much candy, and a relative got a picture of me with a humming bird examining my mouth. Literally, "Honk, shoooo, mimimimi..." I was so bummed out that I missed it.

A blue what? Chevrolet?

I once saw a good guy shoot the Evil insurance CEO that was responsible for thousands of deaths and endless suffering.

I once saw a barmaid singing along to a popular song, and jump onto a table while singing. The whole bar joined in, singing and dancing. Moments after the song ended, my friends came back into the room, where everything was back to normal, and they didn't believe that anything had happened!

I once saw a guy get struck by lightning. Well I didn’t see it exactly since it was blindingly white followed by some moments of confusion. But one minute I was talking to him from across the street. He was under a palm tree about to get into his car. The next minute I was on the ground, he was on the ground, the top of the palm tree was charred and on fire, and on closer inspection the tires of his car were melted to the driveway. Not a cloud in the sky, so obviously the “May lightning strike me if…” jokes haven’t stopped near 20 years later.

Thank you for specifying “once”

Well I wanted to be clear that I wasn’t talking about Roy Sullivan.

My neighbor? He's fine. He was deaf for a few days and weirdly the palms of his hands were burned but it doesn't seem like there were long-term effects.

Actually common in lightning strikes. Exit path gets burned to shit but otherwise you can be weirdly ok. The shock wave is what does the most damage

Having your muscles suddenly contract with all their power can't be harmless either.

Blue is usually islands. Often used for counterspells and other instants.

The raptor. From the Jurassic World series.

Land, like a whole continent, on the shoulder of a girl

Would atlas shrug?

For some reason my first thought was “whale”

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 19 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

That would be pretty memorable...

If this is anything except ODOT exploding a whale I will be disappointed...

edit: booyah, a user of culture is what you are.

I'm going to guess 'bluebird'

Land on the shoulder of a little girl in a princess costume.

Pretty sure they're referring to a Hooloovoo.
