I saw a guy wearing a miniskirt and earrings, holding a handbag. The funny thing is his legs were not shaved, and neither was his face.

Holy crap, Magypsies are real!

This Troper plans to add a Big Lipped Aligator Moment in her fanfic. It takes some explaining because of what led up to it, but, here goes; Towards the end of the fanfic, one of the female leads from {{One Piece}} dies. In actuality, she fakes her death so she could escape Project}} Gensokyo, because she needed to film scenes for {{One Piece}} and many people disapproved of her marriage to the "region's" crown prince, who is actually Piece}} Sanji from the same anime. When her death is announced, my OCs were at the movies. After the death is announced, they go out into the night and stand in front of the movie theater in silence to comprehend what they just heard. Then, one of the females sings, "Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy...", which leads to everyone dancing to Tik Tok like the "death" never happened. After the dance sequence, the narrator, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya}} Kyon, says a few words and the fanfic ends there.

It's afternoon, and the school has just ended. NekomataTheFailcat and some students from her school were getting on the bus, when suddenly, a wild religious person appears and starts talking about God's love or something. Nekomata gets so confused that she actually stops for a moment, because really, when people talk, they should be listened, right? When Nekomata got in the bus, she sat down, did a DoubleTake and had a nice [[strike:cup]] bucket of FlatWhat.

And another one she made herself. She was a bit late from her Swedish class, but she manages to slip in without the teacher noticing. After a moment the teacher realizes that Nekomata was already there. #QUOTE#'''Teacher:''' [Nekomata's real name]! When did you get in? #QUOTE#'''Nekomata:''' *completely deadpan* I'm a ninja. #QUOTE#'''Teacher:''' ... Excuse me? #QUOTE#'''Nekomata:''' I-I mean, I just got in here! #QUOTE#Cue class laughing.

One time at school, during math class, I heard someone whisper to someone else, "Al Gore's back on the market". However, I misheard it, and blurted out in suprise "Al Gore's back hair!?", thus creating one for everyone in the room.

This troper and his very close friend, during the red carpet for our high school's prom, showed up as the New Age Outlaws, music and all, and began to recite their catchphrase. Right around "tag team champions of the wooooooooooorld," school officials caught us and threw us off the carpet. No one ever discussed it again, not even the school to us.

One at my high school, I saw a guy in a banana costume get chased by another guy in a gorilla costume in the hallway. What.

Once, on a theater trip in London, our entire group (of about twenty people) simultaneously froze in the area in front of the London Eye. People thought we were street performers. For ten minutes, we stayed like that. And when we went on the London Eye, we all pretended to die of carbon monoxide at the same time, right as the pod was coming back in to let us out. None of us have ever spoken of those two events again. I love my school.

I once saw an asian man in the middle of a very busy street riding a donkey, and the donkey (but not the man) was dressed as a mariachi.

From the same troper as above, I once saw a middle-aged man driving his car shirtless with a Phantom of the Opera mask on.

This troper once was jogging, and saw an old, OLD woman on her porch blasting Three 6 Mafia on a boombox.

I was in Best Buy and walked by a kid who couldn't have been older than 12 listening to his iPod, and loudly singing along to The Velvet Underground's Heroin.

The kid has excellent taste.

I may have a few.

Once, while a classmate was in the bathroom, we hid all the extra chairs in the room and refused to give them back until he sang 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'.

While at the park, my dad, my sister, and I watched as two teenage boys wrapped in tinfoil weilding tinfoil weapons dueled from one end of the park to the other.

At the mall, my sister and I saw a man dressed in full colonial costume walk by.

While in math class, out of ''absolutely friggin nowhere'', this happens: #QUOTE#Girl: Hey, will you be my boyfriend? #QUOTE#Me: Huh? #QUOTE#Girl: Ok! Hey, everyone! He's my boyfriend now! #QUOTE#Me: ''Huh?'' #QUOTE#3 minutes later... #QUOTE#Girl: Sorry, I'm breaking up with you. #QUOTE#Me: Um... Okayyyyy... #QUOTE#Note that I had ''absolutely no interest'' in this girl at the time. I've also had a girl randomly start singing at me. ''I'm'' the one who's supposed to be a complete space case, dammit!

I think that's happened to me too.

...This math class...was it perchance in a, shall we say, religiously-inclined school in the South-Eastern part of the United States? No reason for asking, of course... 0

(Origional poster) No, it was not. Sorry.

My mom teaches at a school. The school had a talent show. There were a group of kids singing "Dayman" from ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia and one was wearing a a banana suit.

A more heartwarming example, but I was on my way to the restroom, when out of nowhere, a girl started humming "Joy to the World"(in a good singing voice too!). I started whistling along to it, until I could no longer hear her. When I left the restroom, she was gone, never saw her again for the rest of the day. It pretty much made my day a bit better.

So, when I was 12, I was in the checkout line at Walmart. These two guys named charlie and steve were calling for each other and i joined in too.they both came up to me and they were like, "we have a show here every sat,". "We have candy and songs". Nobody mentioned it again.

Outside of the local strip mall near this troper's school, there is a man wearing a very 80's-style outfit (Usually a bright, neon pink hoodie and sweatpants with all the colors of the rainbow in their hi-liter brightest) who will stand at the entrance of the mall, krumping. He stays there for a very long time, and does not seem to have any particular reason to be doing so. Needless to say, this troper and her friend had one of these while walking past him for the first time. We have yet to say anything about him in conversation.

This Troper was in Egypt and were were in desert safari. There were total of seven people crammed into a jeep; Me, my brother, four other tourists and the driver - a 23 to 28 year old man - who currently had his Mp3 connected to the loudspeakers of the car. It was a relatively normal trip, the music was mostly latino music and arabic music, when suddenly...Aqua's Barbie Girl starts! ''Fricking Barbie Girl! In the middle of a desert in Egypt! From the mp3-player of a man who's in his mid-twenties!'' It was so BLAM, that all our faces screamed "WTF?!" for the next three minutes

Babysitting at 12:00am one night. Knock at door. I open door to see a smiling man with brown jacket holding a stack of Bibles. #QUOTE# Me: Hello? #QUOTE# Man: Hi! Long, awkward silence. #QUOTE# Me: Are you selling Bibles? #QUOTE# Man: I'm here to promote the Christian faith. This new edition of the renowned Turners Bible is more up to date and important than previous editions. #QUOTE# Me: I'm sorry, the homeowners aren't here right now. Long, awkward silence. #QUOTE# Me: Well, I'm sorry. Goodbye. #QUOTE# Man: May I come in? Intensely long, awkward silence. #QUOTE# Me: No. Goodbye. Yet ''another'' painful silence. #QUOTE# Man: Goodbye.

And from the same troper as that fucked up event above, is the time I told a friend that I did his sister, out of the blue and for no reason at all. Sadly, I wasn't lying.... I hate my self. He, however, assumed I was just joking, and we have never mentioned it again. I don't think he knows that I actually tapped his sister.

Random Elvis impersonator in the middle of wal-mart, flirting with me and my Mom. That is all.

At a bus stop, random girl walks by reciting barely-comprehensible rap lyrics, occasionally turning toward people but not talking to them, and then a kitten runs past.

This story wins the internets forever. it officially earns a life-acheivment award.

At a local Wal-Mart, this troper saw someone walking around in a Darth Vader costume (A very nice, probably very expensive costume). It wasn't Halloween, nor was there anything Star Wars related going on in town that day; it was just a random guy dressed like Vader.

Perhaps something was filming there that day?

On the topic of costumes, I remember seeing a girl dressed in a Blue Fox costume in a gas station buying a Mountian Dew.

Downtown, there's a panhandler who dresses in a full Darth Vader costume and plays the fiddle. No one says anything about him, but you know he's there.

To the above troper, if this was in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, then many more people know of him. Proof here http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Darth+Vader+fiddler&aq=f and his name is apparently Randy [=McKenna=].

A particularly NightmareFuel-tastic example was when a kid started reciting some rap song I've never heard of in the middle of Science class, which from the sound of it was a love song about a man raping someone in the back of his car. I was so horrified by this that I told him to at least keep it to himself. He said basically said "Why don't you!?". I quickly ran to another table to avoid further scarring.This was never mentioned again by anyone, and thank goodness for that.

Probably my public transportation encounter with a man in a t-shirt and track pants eating a ziploc bag full of gummi worms while humming to himself qualifies. Particularly because when the man behind him gave him an odd look, he threatened him with something like "If you're feeling froggy, leap. I haven't used this big long knife in a long time, and I don't want to have to!". He may or may not have actually had a knife - if so it was concealed in the track pants. Of course it may not be a true big lipped alligator moment, as I for one talk about it all the time, and even wrote a song inspired by it.

This troper's brother managed to somewhat justify this. Given the fact that he has major depression and is sometimes insane, one night he randomly flashed himself (I was the only one around) and then juggled tennis balls and had me hold a saw. Not to mention there's a few times where he comes into my room in the middle of the night being unable to sleep and talks about random movie lines or makes vulgar jokes. That's what depression does to a person.

... so, you're saying that his occasional insanity is CAUSED by his depression? Because I have clinical depression and have often felt like I'm going crazy, but... your wording is confusing.

@/{{Excel-2010}}. One time at work I walked into a closet full of toilets. Any clarification would ruin the image.

I suppose the time I saw someone cross a street by dancing, and stopping once they got across would count.

I went to a midnight showing of a Harry Potter movie, and there was a man wearing a full Stormtrooper costume, just sort of wandering around. Funniest thing that happened to me all night.

Maybe he was from the 501st Legion?

This troper and his cousin had talked about going to the premiere of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' dressed as a Heavy/Medic pair, telling everyone that we were there to see the "TF2 movie". This was back before the official title was revealed and it was just referred to as "Transformers 2", and we didn't bother to go through with it once the acronym didn't work anymore.

I say you should've done it! I say you totally should have done it!

I have issues. Every now and then, I'll just have meltdowns from out of nowhere. My family gets why they're happening, and deals with them later when I've calmed down and we have time. But my friends will occasionally be around when they happen, and to them it looks like a BigLippedAlligatorMoment since they don't see the talking about it later and I don't ever want to explain.

This troper was visiting a nearby college campus, waiting for the bus, when a guy dressed as The Flash sprinted out onto the quad, paused and struck a heroic pose, then sprinted away. Yep.

This entire damn page.

Well, yeah....

True story. My friend was getting an ultrasound for his hernia examination, and the nurse, who was scanning his nuts said "So, do you like pizza?". What? Why would he care about that?

Maybe she was going to ask him out.

Maybe she thought he was uncomfortable with her being down there, so she started small talk?

Once at this troper's high school, on the school TV announcements, one of the "news" readers said, out of the blue, "Today we honor singer Gwen Stefani, who died yesterday of a heart problem. She was discovered to be biologically male." The strangest part was that he actually said it with the same apathetic tone and expression as he did reading all the other announcements, and afterwards went back to reading the cafeteria menu or whatever. The students in this troper's class looked around at each other, confused, then seemed to confirm that Gwen Stefani was actually fine and never spoke about it again.

Back when this troper was in high school, the morning accouncements used to get away with all kinds of stupid stuff, including staging a car crash outside the school with students pretending to be dead bodies, and an ACTUAL helicopter coming to take the bodies. The "reporter" student said everything that was happening in the same 50's-News-Reporter way as normal.

This Troper, while making a film for a class, had one of the people in the film pulled away by their group. We promised not to speak of this again.

Please?

One day a teacher pulled me and a few other students out of our classroom so that we could dance in front of a singing, animatronic Christmas tree. Huh.

This troper was sitting in a restaurant one day and glanced out the window. A man in a business suit was walking by with a Walkman in hand (this was in the days before iPod/MP3 players), he suddenly stopped, busted a move in the middle of the sidewalk, and then kept on walking like nothing had happened. Another time I was talking to some friends of mine and randomly let out a ''HUYGE'' belch in the middle of the sentence and kept on talking as if the belch had never happened. They cracked up. And to this day I'll randomly walk up to my wife and nibble on her neck, or go up to my son, sit on him and start tickling him. We used to call these Random Acts of Randomness, but now, thanks to the Nostalgia Critic, they are in fact BigLippedAlligatorMoment s.

This troper was so happy when she graduated that she danced ala-MichaelJackson. No one saw that. ^^

Finion}} This troper once turned on the telivision to see the news come on. The first thing I see is the headline at the bottom of the screen combined with some images of a highway at nighttime. It reads, ''"CAR ON FREEWAY HIT BY REFRIDGERATOR"''. It then went back to the anchor who said, and I quote, "I feel sorry for anyone who's just tuned in right now and has no idea what we're talking about."

I was once kissed by a total stranger on a bus. Afterward my initial disgusted reaction, I just glanced back at the friend I was sitting with and continued our conversation.

That is oh so wrong in oh so many ways.

[=MacPhisto=] and his Straight Best Friend once invoked a Big Lipped Alligator Moment for many people. At a mall around Halloween time, we were in a mall. In the center court, they were playing Halloween-themed music on the loud speakers. All of a sudden, The Time Warp started playing. I just looked at her, and she looked right back. We both nodded, and when the chorus came, we both started dancing and singing the respective parts for Riff-Raff and Magenta.

She, of course, had to double for Columbia, and did a tap-dance.

This Troper was commuting on the train when a guy started singing out of the blue, then stopped. He was with us for a long time afterwards and no one mentioned it.

This Troper's brother, on anything we ever spoke about; "I was a (insert noun here) once!" And this never gets a reaction.

Could this be a reference to BumReviews or is it just a coincidence?

This Troper was in Chemistry class when a classmate said completely out of the blue, "Oh my god, midgets are so cute! I saw a whole family of them at [=McDonald's=] last weekend! I want a MIDGET FARM!" Besides mixed confusion, amusement and a feeling that we should be more appalled than we were at the statement, class continued as normal after this outburst.

This troper had this happen to him and his mate twice when eating out; once, at Dairy Queen, when one of the servers told the other "It's okay, I have the ''banana''!" for some random reason; and one at Pizza Hut, when the waitress suddenly showed up to ask "Want me to light your fire?" in a sultry manner and pose, with an oven lighter in her hand (she meant if we wanted the candle at our table lit).

This troper was innocently drinking a soda in front of a snack store when a middle-aged woman with an incredibly shiny silver guitar (like, chrome shiny) wearing a cowboy hat and a leather poncho came up to me and started cheerfully babbling about what a great place to eat this was, especially when the police ride up on their Harley-Davidsons wearing big black boots and go in to get donuts. I just sat there a bit confused. It was a pretty amazing guitar, though, so I finally asked where she got it, and she said "It was my mom's, she's six feet under ground now, dead, and I got her guitar and her house!" Still in the cheery voice, which freaked me out a little. She asked my name, and I told her, Tess. She replied "Ah, one syllable!" and started playing her guitar and singing a song about "Me and Tess sitting out in front of the store" and randomly stopped in the middle, turned around and said "Okay, my friend's waiting for me, it was nice meeting you." Half a minute later I heard a man yelling "You need a straightjacket! You need a straightjacket!"

Went to the store one time to buy eggs. The woman there asked "Is ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' good?"

Did you at least say no?

My friend was once approached by some guy asking for gum. She said no. He walked away. We now call him the gum guy.

Also, there was one time. It was late. We were on the phone, and I started giggling and going mad. Everything was hysterical during that 20 minute period. We swore to never speak of it again. Oh crap. I spoke of it.

This troper was working the express lane at the grociery store I work at and as a rule, we have to stand infront of our lanes if we don't have any customers, myself and the two other girls on the express tills had an older man come up to us and started talking to us in some Slavic sounding language before walking off. We never spoke of it again.

This troper was in a movie theater when I was younger, when a door that lead outside opened, and a young guy came in. He told the theatergoers he was sorry for rushing in like that and possibly ruining the movie, then he ran out the other end. Moments later a police officer comes running across the theater and out the door the other man went through. There's silence for about 5 seconds when a women up front says "Charles?". She gets up, puts her popcorn down, then proceeds to scream like a banshee yelling for "Charles" to wait up. She runs through the same door the men used. Again total silence, then the previews begin, and a man says "Finally!", and it was never talked about by any of the theatergoers.

Some time ago, in one of this troper's classes, a fellow student, rather far away, was singing the Mail song from [=~Blue's Clues~=]. #QUOTE#"Here's the mail it never fails, it makes me wanna wag my tail, when it comes I wanna yell..." #QUOTE#''This troper'': "'''''MAAAAIIIIL!!!'''''" #QUOTE#"Uh, wow..."

While on holiday in Tokyo, This troper and his mother were purchasing subway tickets. A small excited woman walked up to me and, in Japanese, insisted that I take a pair of chopsticks from her. After a few seconds of stuttering I relented and accepted the things. She then bowed, said "Arigato" and walked off. My mother could only shrug.

Can you be sure that wasn't an important PlotCoupon? You never know.

This troper was attending an AxisPowersHetalia gathering at an anime convention. The cosplayers were playing a fun game on the balcony and... just wait for the reindeer...

This troper once walked into class and saw her geography teacher and her English teacher engaged in a light saber battle.

Was in a book store the other day, browsing through the aisles when all of a sudden a man in full Charlie Chaplin regalia walked by, not saying a word the entire time he was in the store.

One day while I was at the mall waiting for a family member I encounter a Buddhist monk he says hi and leaves.

This tropette's science teacher was explaining how we would be videoed at times every month during class periods for a class at her university. Addressing me as an examply, she started expounding on how we would see if I was "creative", "cooperative", "original" and the like. When she finally finished, basically asking if I could handle my that. There was a few seconds of silence from me, immediately followed by an enthusiastic "WOO-HOO!". Not to mention that now, this tropette's friend and herself now tend to address these moments as such.

This troper remembers when he and his little brother were shoveling snow in the driveway during a pretty heavy snowstorm. Then out of nowhere, ''there was a white flash'', followed by '''thunder'''. Lightning and thunder. '''DURING A SNOWSTORM IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER'''. This troper had a blast trying to comprehend what the fuck had just happened.

At school, Homsar}} This Troper and his friends once saw a group of girls go into a bathroom with pictures of Edward Cullen. We come back around 20 minutes later, they're just exiting. And another one: for an entire week at school, the internet was out. Reason? Some girls somehow downloaded some trojan horses that they thought was Edward Cullen porn. The school never brought it up again, and neither do any of the students.

I have a couple.

During a family vacation in L.A., my stepsisters and I spent a day in Hollywood, and were followed for two blocks by a young man who was obviously under the influence of ''something''. When we finally confronted him, he started talking nonsense about seeing angels in the desert and walked away. We did not see him again.

When I was about five or so, I was playing in the front yard when a large dog ran up, chased me around for a couple minutes, and left as suddenly as it appeared. A short while later, a teenage boy on a bike came past and asked me if I had seen a dog.

I got some:

During an English class that managed to devolve into questioning everyone's sexuality (why oh why did Oscar Wilde have to be gay), one person in the class asked the teacher, "Why do you hate Andrew Lloyd Webber so much?" I couldn't stop giggling, because Andrew Lloyd Webber has become some sort of a RunningGag (don't believe me?) in the grade.

The same teacher manages to conduct classwide discussions about: {{Spaceballs}}, zombies, operating systems (which was also a contest to make him laugh, in which I won in about 5 seconds by saying Vista") and the Pillsbury Doughboy.

This Troper is prone to this, being something of a Cloudcuckoolander.

This Troper had several msn windows open, and was talking to one about a game, and another about stupid movies. I accidnetly dropped a long rant about why TheNextKarateKid made no sense at all, and after realising what I had done I apolagised and yelled BIG LIPPED ALIGATOR MOMENT

So, This Troper is walking along with her friends in the mall, talking about nothing in particular... when suddenly, a girl flat-out runs by in the other direction... in a complete, and quite good, Miku Hatsune cosplay. Waving around a plastic scythe. This would be relatively normal at an anime convention. In the middle of a suburban mall? Not so much.

I see you've met my friend (DEAD SERIOUS). She's a master at BLAM moments.

It was a katana, not a scythe.

There is a man in his late fifties that lives in this troper's town who is often seen in the streets in a blue overall jumpsuit, wandering aimlessly and mumbling to himself. On one occasion, this troper saw him shouting at a passing little boy as though he was chastising his own child. This was seen as perfectly normal. On another, this troper has been on the same bus as the fellow, and during a period of silence he randomly decided to shout "CARDIAC ARREST!", for which he recieved little acknowledgement.

This troper has probably caused a few, as she's been to some areas that really aren't used to deviations from routine. The first one that springs to mind is the time the door to a small pizza shop opened to reveal this troper, a very short young woman wearing a black velvet cloak and a black '40s-style hat. She looked around nervously and asked, "Um, do you have any forks? They don't have any at the ice cream store." One of the employees wordlessly pointed to a counter with plastic utensils. This troper darted forward, obtained a fork, and hurried out of the store. While it's possible that the people in the store spoke of the event afterward, this troper considers it unlikely, as she tends to generate a Somebody Else's Problem field.

Being in an a cappella group is also very handy for causing these, especially on public transit.

There was also the "pirate outfit in the [=McDonald's=] in rural Japan" incident, and of course that time with the catacombs.

This troper and his friends have made a hobby out of making BLM's. Mostly to confuse our peers. Among them include:

During a random Health class at our school (that we weren't even in)...

Some students ''Obama!''

Other students ''Nobama!''

First Students ''Obama!''

Other Students ''Nobama!''

My friend (as he busts in through the door) [+''NADAR!!!''+]

Another example: I once walked into a math class (while the teacher was lecturing), wrote WAFFLE on the board, and left without a word. The student's knew me, and were only slightly surprised. The teacher on the other hand...

This Troper was out in town and had just stepped out of his car when, out of nowhere, this older man with a dark jacket and cigarette - judging by his accent, he was Polish - asked me something unintelligible. I don't know if he was drunk or just trying to ask for the bus in broken and slurred English, but I told him I didn't know, and he just munbled something akin to "alright" and walked off. After a brief moment of confusion, it was promptly forgotten and never spoken of again.

This Troper. I wasn't forming a chord right during my guitar lesson one week... and once I was starting to get it right, the following exchange occurred: #QUOTE# Teacher: ... Did you ever watch Sesame Street? #QUOTE# Me: .... um, why? #QUOTE# Teacher: Well, when I watched it, they had this little song... and it went ''One of these things is not like the other thing'' and- #QUOTE# Me: *DeathGlare* #QUOTE# Teacher: *shuts up* It has never been spoken of since.

This troper's sister had one moment in school where her gym teacher walked in during her math class and asked if the teacher had a spare pencil sharpener of all things. Her math teacher said no and her gym teacher began to leave. Right before she left, she turned to the class and did the Charlie Brown then left without a word. No one spoke of it again.

In 2008, my friends and I were at a Renaissance faire, walking around, admiring others' costumes and basking in compliments for ours. All of a sudden, Becky says, "Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?" and two seconds later, a little kid goes running by, his sister following behind him and yes, ''banging coconuts to simulate hoofbeats''. And we never spoke of it again.

ThisTroper, while walking home from school one day encounters a dog running around without a leash. Not wanting to have a lost dog start following me and end up farther away from home than before, I try to walk past without being noticed. I was noticed. The dog stopped what it was doing, looked at me, wagged its tail twice, and ''smiled''. I somehow knew what was about to happen, but all my shouts of "STOP", "SIT", and "GO HOME" were ignored. The dog charged snout-first into my crotch, then ran off happy as could be.

Today, this troper was in school, going to wash his hands in the washroom, when he sees some other students on the bathroom floor, eating a bucket of chocolate ice cream.

I hope to G~D it was ice cream...

This story takes place outside my high school a few years ago. I'm spending a relatively quiet lunch period outside with a few friends, when suddenly a massive group of at least 50 students comes rushing out of the door closest to me, only to run across the campus and back into the school through a door on the other end of the building. All is quiet again for a few moments, until the same crowd (this time a bit bigger) comes bursting through a different door near the center of the building, only to again run back inside through yet another door. This repeats itself a few times, with the crowd seeming to reappear larger than ever each time. Finally, the crowd comes out of the door closest to me again, this time led by a girl being chased by another girl with a large cake. The latter throws said cake at the former, and shouting/clapping/laughing ensues from the rest of the crowd. Then everyone goes back inside and we never do find out just what the hell was going on.

In Criminal Justice class at the community college I go to, a student walked in in a Tinky Winky costume and danced around. Another student dressed in a police helmet came in, said "sorry about that", and dragged him away. My instructor was dumbstruck for a minute straight.

I'm at an Italian restaurant, since my mom wanted to take some old family friends out for dinner. I was probably about 10-13 at the time, and the family friends had a son a couple of years older than me, and my mom asks me to say hello. First thing the guy says after we both say hello? #QUOTE#'''Guy:''' Do you like ScoobyDoo?

This Troper was sitting next to a guy a couple of years older than him in a school assembly who was quietly singing under his breath "Stab a man in the eyebrow, I'm gonna stab a man in the eyebrow..." He turned around, noticed me staring and said, completely straight-faced, "That's my "Stabbing a man in the eyebrow" song. I call it "Stab a Man in the Eyebrow". Then he went back to singing his song. No more was said of it.

My English teacher once pulled this on us. He started out with some threatening intro about how our grades weren’t doing so well, so he decided he was going to play this inspirational video for us to teach us. THE VERY NEXT SECOND, He lepas up on his desk busting out, “IT’S TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE!!! IT’S TOO LAAAAAAAAATE!!!” Judging from comments from other students in later periods, he managed to pull this on EVERY student of his that day!

And another example, a student in that class once had to empty out his backpack. Of all the things he had to pull out, he pulled out A DEER ANTLER! YES. A REAL DEER ANTLER. It got confiscated and used as an “encouragement whip” in later classes, and that student went on to be expelled for bringing knives.

The funny thing is, nothing on this page qualifies as a BigLippedAlligatorMoment now because these events are being spoken of again.

I was in a bar one night and walked into the men's room. A man was walking out with his pants still unzipped and his...uh...stuff in full view, and he looked at me and said, "Have you ever seen the Buffalo Sabres on a power play?"

I was walking out of a neighborhood rec center, and a young boy, about four, was standing by the front door. He looked at me and asked, "Are you a guy?" Taken aback by the question, I laughed and said, "Yeah, I guess." As I walked out the door, he shouted, "DON'T YOU LOCK ME OUTA HERE AGAIN OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!" Some issues in his household, perhaps?

One day this spring one of this Troper's teachers decided we're going to spend the lesson outdoors. We somehow ended up sitting in a circle on the grass and discussing cultural differences between Japan and Bulgaria (For the record, This Troper studies Mathematics and is neither Japanese nor Bulgarian). After an hour, we returned to class and it was never mentioned again.

This Troper once set up a murder mystery for her Year 8 (12-13) creative writing club. She talked to teachers and got it all set up - but she wasn't allowed to put up posters for it. This meant that most of the school had no idea what was going on, so were rightfully very confused when I had a "heart attack" in the middle of the canteen and a Year 8 wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat started questioning people. I was never even asked about it afterwards.

This Troper was sitting in class one day with our door wide open. We hear engines rumbling then our shop teacher and the principal drive by on go karts while the shop class chases after them. we sat dazed for a minute then just let out a meh.

I once worked in the press box of a Thoroughbred racetrack in Louisiana. One day in the break room, the topic of conversation turned to the cost of car insurance. And I said, "Of course, there are some people who just drive and don't care about insurance." Which made another person tell me that people in Louisiana don't like outsiders talking politics. Which made no sense because we were talking about car insurance, not politics.

My college concert band was visiting Toronto in March. It was especially cold and felt more like January. A group of us were walking down a street downtown when a rather large man walked the other way with no shirt on and leather pants. What's more, he had a shaved head and sunglasses.

This one happened before I was born, so I'm not too good on the details, but: My mum and dad were having an argument about something or other, and how did dad choose to end the argument? By jumping out of a first floor window. Nobody recalls why anymore.

At a metal festival, for some reason that is beyond my comprehension, a guy wearing a horse mask walks by near the merch tents. Never saw him againn during the whole festival, but it really gave me a real WTF line of thinking for the next few minutes.

American cheese is a processed cheese. It is orange, yellow, or white in color and mild in flavor, with a medium-firm consistency, and melts easily. American cheese was originally only white, but is usually now modified to orange. It has been made from a blend of cheeses, most often Colby and Cheddar. Today’s American cheese is generally no longer made from a blend of all-natural cheeses, but instead is manufactured from a set of ingredients[1] such as milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, and salt. When some of these or other substitutes are used, it does not meet the legal definition of cheese in many jurisdictions, and must be labeled as "cheese analogue", "Cheese Product", Processed cheese, or similar.

This troper went to use the bathroom at a Chinese restaurant many years ago, only to find two waiters yelling at each other in Mandarin over who got to use the toilet. The guy who won immediately went into the stall and started singing very loudly as he took a dump.

Once, when This Troper and a friend were walking to our school's library, a couple of high-school girls carrying a tray of cookies turned to me and said, "Hey, want a cookie? Here! Take one!" I did. It was quite tasty, and I suffered no ill effects. On another occasion, again when I was walking to the library, I passed two other girls, one of which was clinging tightly to the other and saying, "You know what I want? I want a sandwich. And a big house and garden and..."

There was also a time when I was walking down the hall and heard another student saying "Weee!" in a loud, high-pitched voice every few seconds. And one lunch period when I heard a student mooing... (I wondered to my friend if they were the same girl.)

This troper was once approaching a bus stop on foot. There was a homeless-looking street person there, and just as I passed him, he let out a blood-curdling screech "YAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!", scaring the crap out of me. My instinctive reaction was that he was just being a dick for some reason, but as I turned towards him to give him an epic WTF chewing out, I realized he wasn't even paying any attention to me at all -- he was now repeatedly slapping the side of his head with a crazed, haunted look on his face, screaming "GET OUT!!! GET OOOUUUUTTTT!!" I slowly backed away, ended up calling a cab instead of risking ending up on the same bus as him, and spent the afternoon in a mixture of frayed nerves and annoyance, yet also feeling sorry for the poor guy, whose mental problems were obviously severe.

This troper once attempted making text friends with random co-workers, and singled out one lady. She reminded him of a TallDarkAndBishoujo when he saw her picture, and conversations on the phone gave him the impression of being a charmer. Cue the day he and the girl met in person - she turns out to be a Dusky Skinned ShortTank {{Pettanko}}. Cue tongue-tiedness after she sweetly introduced herself. Somehow he still ended up developing a crush on her (and he's about the size of a BigGuy!).

During a random lunch period at high school, some student who I didn't know walked into the cafeteria with a Superman shirt and a cape made out of a garbage bag. He charged across the cafeteria at full speed and tackled a trash can.

Once during the middle of class, the girl sitting next to me just screams out "YOU ATE MY DOG, AUNT SALLY!" no explanation was ever given.

I'm pretty sure I caused this for a few people when I came in on the last day of school dressed as America from Axis Powers Hetalia.

While sitting in school, I once over heard a girl say "You know, if I was stuck on an island with my best friend and my dog, I would definitely resort to cannibalism and eat my friend before I would eat my dog." I'm still not sure what she was talking about.

My sister and I once danced to Caramelldansen for over an hour straight for no reason, and we have never mentioned it again.

JESUS CHRIST ON A POGO STICK!

Jesus tap-dancing H. Christ on a unicycle!

This troper's neices's school production of ''Oliver!'' enlivened the scene at the undertakers' by having a brief ZombieApocalypse. Then the plot continued as normal.

This one time at Disney World, my family was enjoying a pleasant meal at a restaurant until a large steak knife fell from the sky and was wedged in the table six inches from my father's hand. There were drunk people on the upper floor, apparently, and saw it fit to throw things over the edge.

I was filming a movie scene for a class project. My friends kept screwing up a scene, and started arguing. I got bored and wandered away with the camera still rolling. We were in a park with a pond, so I started filming the ducks on the pond and talking about how ducks are my favorite animal. You could still hear my friends arguing as I waxed poetic about ducks. It took them four minutes to notice I'd left. The next take was good, so we decided to just leave the 'Duck Bit' in the middle of the movie, just for fun.

This troper thinks that that's probably what happened to the poor convenience store employee when I came in and got a candy bar while wearing my ninja suit.

*note to self* Wear ninja suit more often.

this troper was waiting in line for a roller coaster when one girl from a group who was apparently from a church or something since they all wore similar shirts told another "hey [this troper's nickname] is right next to you" they all turned towards me and acted all excited. I never figured out why...

from the same troper as above, during one spanish class, one student randomly blurted out "Hey everybody, my pencil's from France!" She got in trouble for it, and no-one mentioned it again.

This troper was at her locker and a guy randomly comes running through the hallway yelling "ANAL SEX FEELS GOOD!!" o.o

While playing WorldOfWarcraft, I had dropped a mob's health to 0. However, instead of dying, it just stood there burning in purple flames for no apparent reason while a second mob kept attacking. As I fought the second one a few inches away, the first stood there watching engulfed in purple flames while I killed his comrade. After the second was killed I stood there staring at the first to see what was going on. When I attacked it, it attacked back, despite having no health. I had to run so it wouldn't kill me.

This troper once chased an ice cream van down the street in full pirate costume, including parrot. She told the group of teenage observers that there was a story behind it, but they'd have much more fun trying to think of one themselves.

Last night, I was walking to the local CVS Pharmacy, when I noticed a man crossing a busy street against the light, walking unusually slowly. I then noticed that he was carrying something silver and shiny in his hand. At first, I was worried, because I thought it might be a weapon...until I realized that it was a pair of salad tongs. This alone was pretty bizarre, as it was quite late at night and any eating establishment that might use salad tongs was closed (I live in a very small town XD), but what happened next is even stranger. This man walked over to the gas station, approached the pump, and began ''washing the salad tongs with the stuff you use to clean your windshield.'' Unsettling, to say the least...

I had an aquaintance randomly start a Facebook chat conversation about how a mutual friend wanted to do, oh, every sexual practice ever invented to/with me. I just humoured her, and after a few minutes she got bored/got the response she'd been after and sloped off. I'm guessing she was either drunk/stoned or just posting bonkers crap to see how I'd react, but really, I don't know what the hell she was trying to do and I'm not likely to find out.

I have four:

Two dudes I knew in high school spent an entire day moving from place to place with one fake galloping and the other banging coconuts together, Monty Python style. They were the drama department head's son and his best friend, respectively. If you knew them, it made sense. Sorta. The friend was also nicknamed "Squinky", for no other reason besides it having once been made up on the spot when his friend was introducing him making it a BLAM nickname.

My sister and I were walking through a bookstore and something I'd said prompted the response "I swear to god, I am going to slit your throat while you sleep tonight" (a not uncommon phrase between us). We happened to be passing by another customer at that, making it a BLAM for him.

Also from high school, two other dudes I knew ambush-hugged a cool-but-strict teacher while they had someone else take pictures. In the middle of the lunch room. During a lunch period. Again, made sense to US but I'd imagine others were confused.

In my senior year, my international relations class was play testing some model UN scenarios we'd written for the upcoming model UN week. My group finished a little earlier than the other so I walked over to my friend Kenny (who was in the said group), leaned in by his ear, and in that "official whisper" kind of way said "penis" with a complete straight face. Poor Kenny had to stifle laughter and endure dirty looks from the more serious-minded. He got me back during the passing time between classes, walking up to where I was sitting on a bench with my girlfriend and doing the same thing to me...but just loud enough that she could hear him. BLAM!

This troper goes an...eccentric college, and has witnessed a lot of these, but the one that stands out is the night I was walking back to my dorm and saw a van painted Scooby-Doo style blasting heavy metal pull into the parking lot, followed by five police cars (not chasing or anything, just following them). They sat there for a few minutes, then pulled out of the parking lot and went back down the road. Only about five people witnessed this event, and none of us said a word.

Another one (same troper as above) happened in her capoeira class - while we were all standing around talking, one of the girls randomly reached into her sports bra, pulled out a fake flower, ran outside and threw it as far as she could and then returned as though nothing had happened.

"This woman is both a whore and a virgin and someday you will learn to respect that."

During the curtain calls of this troper's school play: Cue the stage crew coming out for our bows and randomly shouting, "Stage crew ninjas!" Pose. "''HA!''" Then we did a very short fight scene before letting the cast start to take their bows. The audience was slightly confused, but just continued clapping until the stage hands were forgotten in everyone's minds.

On vacation in Austria, we went to Italy for 1 day. Somewhere outside a train station, an old guy addressed my mom and us in Italian, which none of us understand, while pointing at his crotch. We all looked at each other and walked away.

I have several...

Once I called the Samaritans hotline because I was very depressed and accidentally reached a sex hotline instead.

I have a habit of talking to myself, which tends to garner a lot of stares. I have walked around in public places talking to myself about sex, God, philosophy, and my medication schedule. This has resulted in the police randomly driving up and checking to see if I am "okay" in response to the calls of concerned motorists.

Once I was talking to myself in my college’s dining room and one of the lunch ladies was staring at me. Annoyed, I looked at her and said, “Hello, I’m Schizophrenic.” She got a frightened look on her face and hurried away. (This is insulting to Schizophrenic people, but I knew that’s what she was thinking, so I said it anyway.)

Once I accidentally took my morning medication in the afternoon. This resulted in a double dose for that day, so I went to the emergency room to make sure everything was okay, which involved calling 911. The next day I got very lost in the city and when I finally found my train, I burst out, “Oh, I am SO relieved that I found my train! I was yelling at God because I couldn’t find it” to the people standing next to me. One of the people imitated what she thought God would say and intoned, “I didn’t tell you to take the Green Line…” The other person replied, “I would have told you which train to take if you had asked Me.” “I know it’s not God’s fault,” I assured them. Then I continued, “I’m not going to tell my parents that I got lost because I don’t want them to think I can’t take care of myself. But, I know that I can because yesterday I took the wrong medication and I called 911 all by myself!” I’m sure that those people had a Big Lipped Aligator Story to tell about the crazy lady they met at the train station.

this troper's got a doozy; as part of a summer arts retreat-type deal a year or so back, a flamenco dancer and accompanying musicians were brought in for a dance-immersion day (i think that's what it was). this started out normally enough; the dancer danced and her guitarist played an accompanying tune. there was something a little odd about their percussionist though, something not quite right. cut to later on in the presentation, when the other two performers left the stage and said percussionist, clad in overalls, crocs, and dark sunglasses, and equipped with bongo drums, strobe lights, and a weird makeshift tent, took center stage and with a cry of LET'S PLAY SOME BONGO VIDEO GAMES! began to franticly beat on his little drum to some bizarre electronic musical accompanyment. this went on for a good half hour, as the man drummed, multicolored strobe lights flickering all the while, and spouted such non-sequitor gems as SUMMER'S HERE AND LOVE IS IN THE AIR, BONUS LEVEL!, and I'M ALL OUTTA QUARTERS. when this ended (with an enthusiastic NEVER STOP DREAMING!), the audience's collective jaw was lying on the floor, and the dancer and guitarist returned and pretended like nothing happened. of course, this gets better...the percussionist (who, it appears, went by the moniker "Bongolicious") had [=CDs=] on sale afterwards...most of which were blank, save for a few which, if this troper remembers correctly, had only one song taking up several tracks. needless to say, while my fellow students got a helluva lot of chuckles out of this one, it was not brought up by the administrative folks ever again, thus securing the whole incident's place as a real-life BLAM.

I once glanced over at the T.V. to see what appeared to be a news reporter talking to a giant fire hydrant. I never did figure out what was going on.

This trooper once saw a teenage boy in a banana costume skateboard by the local movie theater. No one else seemed to notice.

I've probably invoked this once or twice... a month... on average... but here's a particularly memorable one that happened to me: After a botched Job hunt, (inasmuch as I couldn't find the jobsite) I decided to take a long walk down to my elementary school, which was further down the road. An old man caught up with me in front of a gas station and insisted I call heads or tails. I called heads, and he flipped a quarter. It was tails. He asked me to call it again (tails) and flipped a piece of steel that was flat on both ends. Round three: I called heads, it landed on tails. He let me keep all three coins--and then bought us both drinks on his dime, (a 20 he said he just found lying around) giving me some of the change.

This troper once went to the mall with his best friend and stopped by the Rue 21 there (a store somewhat known for catering to hipster-types, for those unfamiliar) only to pass by two amish women in their thirties (wearing the typical attire of white bonnets, long dresses, plain brown leather shoes, et cetera) at the cash register. We exchanged glances and nothing more was said.

This Troper and her friend have often organized, if you will, [=BLAMs=] for everyone else. We just think something would be funny to do, we do it, and then after the fact we never mention it again, and are somehow never questioned. This included dousing said friend - a very hairy Types 2 & 5 Big Guy - in glitter, adorning him in fairy wings, a tiara, and giving him a wand to wave around. We also got a few friends together and made doomsaying signs to emphasize our mad preaching one day. All of this just in the middle of a regular high school day, of course.

I was at a shopping centre with my mum when we saw a quite possibly drunk man wandering about, restrained by two other people. He started chasing us screaming 'Get away from me! Get away from me!' He stopped after a few steps, and in hindsight it was absolutely hilarious.

I was at my school and, while walking through the hallway to the entrance, someone randomly yelled out "You require more vespene gas!" and another person yelled "You Must ConstructAdditionalPylons"! I joined in and yelled "You have not enough minerals!" This event was never mentioned again, at least not until now. And it was probably more of a BLAM for everyone else because(unfortunately) not many people at my school play StarCraft.

This Troper creates Big Lipped Alligator moments for anyone who meets him. Every time someone asks how he is, he'll reply "Strange" or "Odd" or some other variant of the word. Less of a big lipped alligator moment for those who actually converse with said troper.

This Troper who works in public transport,often sees weird people,but today there was a man whom she approached to ask for 1st class ticket,as he sat in said 1st class, and suddenly...he pulled out {{Puppy Eyes}} just so I could let him sit there.It was so random she got literally stunned.Later the culprit was gone and she never saw him again!

About five minutes ago, my sister was sitting at the dining room table drinking juice, and I was sitting on the couch, contemplating what popsicle flavor I want to try next. All of a sudden, my sister just randomly sings "elbows are misunderstood" for no logical reason. At the end of the word misunderstood, she just stops and goes back to her juice.

This Troper and her BFF use this as an inside joke. #QUOTE# Ava, Me, and Gianna: (randomly start singing show tunes until we realize what we're doing) #QUOTE# Me: Hey, Gianna, did that make any sense? #QUOTE# Gianna: Nope! #QUOTE# Me: Are we ever gonna mention it again? #QUOTE# Gianna: Probably not. #QUOTE# Me: BigLippedAlligatorMoment! #QUOTE# Me and Gianna: (imitating the voice the Nostalgia Critic videos use when they say this) BIG LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT!!!! #QUOTE# Ava: ...What? #QUOTE# Me and Gianna: (resume conversation) #QUOTE# Ava: ...What?

One summer while riding in the car with my family, this troper saw an older kid sitting on a rooftop with a fishing pole tied to a pop 2-liter always lowering it and then reeling it up just out of reach of his younger brother below.

This tropette has three:

The first was the most minor. My older sister and I were at the local state fair, and there was a show involving trained sea lions. To attract attention, I suppose, the booth had your typical pop radio station blasting, Lady Gaga and the like. So we were sitting by that booth, in the shade and eating funnel cake, when suddenly after another Lady Gaga track, Stone Sour's Say You'll Haunt Me blasted out like it was just another track in the station's list. After it ended, the station just played another pop song. No discussion between me and my sister except asking if she remembered the song from Uproar.

While driving to my grandmother's house with my mother this August, I looked out the window and saw a flatbed truck hauling what seemed to be a very large vuvuzela. I remember thinking "wow, that's a large vuvuzela" but saying nothing.

While walking down a nature trail with my brother and mother, a man with a cell phone taped to his head blasting 8-bit versions of classical music peices jogged by us, waving at us as he passed. This happened twice, and both times me and my brother just looked at each other, shrugged, and said nothing. This probably dosen't count as it was the subject of much amused discussion after the hike, but it counted at the time.

This past summer, I was going to an afternoon barbeque at the house of a guy who I'm friends with, but our social circles are kind of different. I knew of his interest in Norse mythology, and that he intended the party to be "Valhalla" themed (only with burgers and Coors instead of mead and mutton I guess)...This did not prepare me in any way for walking into the backyard only to glance up and see a guy lounging face-down in a tree wearing a chain-mail shirt, leather bracers, and tight pants while holding a cigarette, a beer, and a GIANT (fake) BATTLE HAMMER. While yelling for someone to play more Slayer. At 5 in the afternoon. When I asked someone else about it, they just shrugged and told me that that particular guy is "always" up a tree when he gets drunk.

This troper was in year seven, one of the Maths teachers randomly walked through the corridor in a Santa Claus costume for no apparent reason. It was March.

My friend and I caused a BLAM in our local Fred Mayers once. In the middle of summer we walked around the store both in full hunter costumes. We never said anything to anyone except a growl or two. Only one person made a comment, an old lady saw us and said, "Aw those poor girls are all done up in duct tape."

This lurker and her friends like to trigger these, either by spontaneously bursting into song or starting to act out scenes from movies. I'm still planning to spontaneously start reciting the from the beginning of Spoony's FinalFantasyX review with one of them, for shits and giggles.

Said friend also caused a BLAM during a manga-day event at a nearby town by walking into a shop dressed as Nazi-Kroenen from {{Hellboy}} movie, mask and sleeve-blades and all, and buying a bottle of Mountain Dew. Without saying a word.

I was hanging out with some friends once upon a time during high school, at the local mini-mall-type-place, when this elaborate Naruto cosplay walks along past us as if it's normal to be a Day-Glo ninja, with what we assumed was the cosplayer's family. Apart from some jokes about the bright orange involved, there wasn't much mention of the event since then -- until now.

In my first year of university, I, my two neighbours, and one of their friends from another dorm were deep into a conversation late at night while sitting in the common room (which has a door and a very wide window leading to the back of the residence). Out of nowhere, a guy, in what is best described as a Batman mask and improvised towel-cape, slammed into the window, screaming, and ran away into the night.

Although I've always had a calm, DeadpanSnarker personality, my utter lack of reaction to things reached memetic levels when I was in my French class. We were in the library and, for reasons never explained, two men rushed by. One was dressed as the Grim Reaper. The other was a banana. It was also the first week of school, when there was no Halloween party they could have been going to. They were also yelling at each other in Arabic. #QUOTE#Girl from my class: Did you even see that? #QUOTE#Me: Yeah. *beat* So, for number two, do they mean each of us responds in French or just the group? #QUOTE#The men make a second sweep through, this time directly by me and out the door, still yelling at each other. #QUOTE#Me: 'Cause I'm thinking that since the last project we did was one group one answer, this is probably the same...

And this is why my French teacher now qualifies things with, "But Shala won't need to know this because she wouldn't care" in class. The whole thing is a NoodleIncident to second semester transfer-ins, who are in the dark about both this and the RunningGag wherein we call the professor a glorious centipede in combat.

This Troper once saw a bunch of women dressed as vikings, performing Michael Jackson's Thriller in the middle of a mall.

This troper's teacher was talking about a lesson... and suddenly a high note, not unlike those in opera, came out of the wall.

This troper's school socials, when the boys and some girls start to get too high on sugar and end up in a giant humping circle, with moaning included. Anything that happens there is never mentioned again.

This Troper has quite a few to share... One in particular happened back in Junior year during pre-engineering and design class. Out of the blue, a kid with a ZooPals Paper Plate tied to his face like a mask just jumps in front of the door and sings the song on the comercial ("Oink Oink ZooPals!" kinda stuff), the left with out a world after two minutes of it. Then class resumed like it never even happened.

Then there the time in Spanish class where one of the members of the football team showed up in his girlfriend's cheerleader outfit (friggin' hairy legs and stuff...), danced a few short numbers, then asked her to homecoming. She tearfully and happily replied "Yes!" then jumped into his arms and nearly everyone cheered as they left the room. This was about 7 in the morning. I just went back to my assignment.

Then the time one of my best friends punched a guy in a mascot suit. She's not normally the type to do that, so it was very sudden and no one really spoke of it again.

And to top it all... There used to be a skinny old guy with a Santa beard in a tank top and track shorts and sneakers who used to powerwalk our area all the time. Up a hill. Backwards. This went one for a couple of years, so we got used to it, but it was always funny to see visitors do a spit take.

This troper has several

I frequently talk to myself in Russian, French, and German. One day, I was in Best Buy looking for my dad and I was talking to myself in French. A lot of people gave me odd looks.

I enjoy wearing capes, I wear them to school when it is appropriate. (the day after Hallowe'en and spirit weeks) I wore a cape to Panera Bread before school, none of the regular employees or customers ever asked me about it.

On the day I came out to some friends, my (former) best friend exclaimed "(real name)'S A HOMOSEXUAL!!!!", which made a lot of people stare at her, then go on walking.

My friends and I were leaving Borders one evening, when suddenly a group of people dressed in a poptart, a banana, and a Domo costume walked by. Then the person in the banana costume went under and inside the Domo, made out (I think) and then kept walking like it never happened.

A friend of mine once drunkenly told us about how when she was 11, she "experimented" with her male cousin which led to full-out sex. My reaction was along the lines of O.o okay wow...and when I thought it couldn't get any more bizarre, another friend, (sober at the time) told her that was okay, and that she has also "experimented" with her cousin. Then my reaction went to a full-blown Flat What that no one responded to. It's never been spoken of since.

This troper returned from the bathroom to Physics class, pulled a Travolta disco pose, and proceeded to sit down as if nothing had happened. It did lead to him being called "Michael" (as in Jackson) by a number of people though.

Since there's no Real Life BLAM section, I'll just leave this video of MishaCollins hosting a tea party in the middle of an LA street here.

Just now, while browsing another site, I encountered a banner ad which showed a music video in full. They never gave the company name or said what they were selling, nor did they link to anything. I didn't recognize the song and the video made no sense - it had robots and a Chester A. Bum lookalike bleeding cardboard - so I can't search for it based on its content. It was completely pointless and yet someone paid the advertising fee to display it.

This, and others of its ilk.

I was involved in a zombie simulation game a few months ago, which involved about 200 people. During a mission, we (the non-infected humans) were required to go from one building to another. A horde of 20+ zombies were between us and our destination, so we decided to just punch through them (by "shooting them" with balled up socks). As we bunched together, I thought that everyone seemed nervous, so I tried to boost morale by singing "We Will Rock You" by Queen. We got through the first verse before the zombies made their counter-song. Apparently, a bunch of the zombies had gone to the same Halloween party dressed as MichaelJackson clones, and had all done the "Thriller" dance together. So, they started doing the dance, with the people who did not know the dance in the background singing. A few of my friends who were not involved in the game happened to be nearby and saw the whole thing, and came up to me after the mission to inform me that I am, in fact, weird, and that I hang out with some '''''freaky''''' people.

Which I thought was my friends stating the obvious, but whatever.

So this troper and his sister are home alone one night, and we hear three guys outside our door. They're laughing real funny, like Larry the Cable Guy. They don't say anything, ring the doorbell, knock, nothing. An awkward five minutes later, I call the police... my sister looks out the window and sees they're with the Mormon church. I tell the police that. So my call goes through, and I go outside and ask what the hell's going on... it turns out that they're from our local Mormon church. What's weird is that, being raised Mormon, I knew those guys, they knew my dad, and they used to come over to our house semi-frequently and sort of... teach us in the ways of God. But the weird thing is, they hadn't done that in YEARS. So I settle things out, we say our hellos, and the police arrive, nothing's wrong. I made a few false citizen's arrests in my childhood, and that has to be the strangest.

This Tropes sister was once driving over a briddge when she heard a loud rumbling overlead, when she looked...A PLANE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIHGHWAY. Or some such thing.

Several years ago, while this tropette was still in elementary school, a random girl this tropette didn't know a few grades below her randomly called her over during recess just to tell her she was dumb. To this day, she still has no idea what that was all about...

This troper's niece once announced during dinner, "I don't like tuna. ''Cats'' eat tuna."

When I was quite a bit younger, mom and I were taking the usual route home from a doctor's appointment when we noticed a bald guy was driving some kind of bastard mix between a go cart and a motorcycle... that was letting off bubbles from the exhaust pipe. The sheer WTF factor of the moment left us cracking up for the next fifteen minutes, after which it was promptly forgotten except for a few passing references over the years.

This troper's friend was driving through a town in the mountains with her family during some kind of of arts and crafts festival whilest her brother kept complaining about why they had to go to a stupid artsy festival. So her mom had it up to here with the complaints and yelled at the top of her lungs "WE'RE HERE FOR '''''CULTURE!!!!!!!!!'''''"

The minute she screamed culture, cue a guy wearing a viking helmet and shining streamers riding a giant bicycle past their car.

One Thursday afternoon a stranger walked up to this Troper in the street and asked what day of the week it was. I told her. She then spent a long while trying to convince me that it was, in fact, a Friday. She used the same arguments over and over again (For some reason they included "I walked past a church yesterday".) and seemed to believe the fate of the universe depends on convincing me that it's Friday, until she got bored and walked away.

Once in this troper's Spanish class, two boys she knew from a couple other classes randomly walked into the class, saying something about needing to check the room for radiation. One of them pulled out some sort of supposed radiation-detector and it apparently started beeping in response to a pencil, at which point they promptly left the room, the teacher's only response being "...Did that just happen?"

A while back, I was heading back to my dorm on my college campus when I saw a guy dressed as Spiderman riding a bicycle. I just paused, and then thought "Sure, why the hell not?". It didn't affect my day in the slightest.

Asheville, NC has the LaZoom bus tours, which has various skits and stuff as the bus goes around to landmarks. If you don't know this context, and see a man dressed as a nun riding a unicycle...

This one time, I was hanging out with my friends near his house and the conversation turned to money. Somehow, I started naming off the money that I loved, which was then I burst into the MontyPython money song, dancing and singing atop my friends car. We never discussed it again.

When I was on vacation in Spain, I saw these two guys running out from a shop, right across the traffic, each carrying a big tray of sunglasses. At first I was liek O_O, but then, I lol'd.

I was driving to school and the man in the car behind me was tapping on his steering wheel with drumsticks. As in, no hands on the wheel. For about 5 minutes. I just thought "...okaaaaay....?"

Dreams, anyone?

One afternoon at the transit center, hanging out with friends. Seeing said friends chase each other around the parking lot. One wearing a gasmask and wielding a wooden katana, another trailing toilet paper from his rainbow afro, a third with a pillowcase. Fifteen minutes of this, it's a miracle we didn't in trouble with the law. It was a whole BLAM moment for most passerby...still makes me wish I brought my camcorder.

One day in this tropette's college Media Studies class, the professor decides to lecture about the eccentric, performance-oriented, fluxus postmodernism movement (if you don't know what that means, it means that artists would put on odd, interactive performance pieces to critique everyday life). When the professor was about to segue into experimental cinema, a student walked down the lecture hall and stood in front of the professor. She then opened an umbrella and rolled out a yoga-position diagram. While holding the poster at her right-arm's length, she then waved the umbrella in clock-like movements. She did this all while squatting and jumping up at every third second.She then quietly gathered her props and walked back to her seat. The professor was in shock, the students were in shock, and the first sentence that the professor uttered after said event was, "Yeah, we're not gonna talk about that."

This troper and his brother was walking into our college's cafeteria when we walked past a guy wearing a Lucky Charms costume. No one else seemed to notice him.

This troper once saw a woman waiting at a bus stop holding a Chihuahua, smoking a cigarette, and sipping from an open bottle of cough syrup. No one around her seemed to pay her any attention. I only wish I'd gotten a picture of her.

Considering my strange school, we have plenty:

When it was Halloween, during a lecture in English class, my teacher was dressed as fried eggs and acting completely serious as he usually does. All of a sudden another English teacher runs into our room, screaming for a fight, wearing a bacon costume, carrying a plastic sword. My teacher grabbed his own sword, hidden under his desk, and they proceeded to battle for at least two minutes. When it was over, the other teacher left and my teacher continued on with the lecture.

During lunch, this group of guys put a loop of rope in front of the door. Then they tried to catch anybody who walked through the door. Nobody paid any attention to them except for my friends and I.

During history class, my teacher's lecture was interrupted by the voice of a guy who was walking down the hallway, singing songs from a musical. The class laughed, explaining to the teacher that it's this kid from choir, and we returned to our notes.

Lunch--everybody's sitting and eating, the usual crap, when suddenly one person jumps on top of their table and starts to sing. All at once, people from the school's musical starts to walk towards her, singing and dancing. It was an actual fucking HighSchoolMusical, except with better singers.

And now that I remember, I caused one myself towards my favorite teacher and his class at the time. My friend and I decided we wanted to take a picture of him for our photo project and ran into his classroom. While he was busy helping another student, his back turned to us, I took several pictures before we ran out again. Even though we were quick he did notice it, making it a BLAM moment for him and his class.

Well, in my Hebrew school class, the teacher was trying to get everyone to be quiet, but they weren't listening. So the teacher started singing some song in Hebrew, walking around the room, and smacking random people's butts. People started screaming and hiding under the table. Then the teacher sat down and stopped singing and told people to get out from under the table. Oddly enough, it was never mentioned again. Still scratching my head on that one. I really have no idea what that was about. And I'm pretty sure I didn't hallucinate it.

This troper has walked into math class to see the teacher dancing. Also, a boy in high scholl will come in, write something on the board, and then leave. Nobody even notices him.

This troper also had to write a play for school. Me and my best friend teamed up, and decided that we needed at least one BLAM. So we had the character of Fred the llama eat a table and then sing. The scene in which the three main characters attempt to order a pizza also could count, as the pizza guy died of off-camera disease, and is never spoken of again.

Also from the same troper: The before mentioned best friend-now-boyfriend once, in the middle of class, played the YOU ARE TEARING ME APART scene from The Room, setting off about five minutes of The Room jokes, and never being mentioned again. Other BLAMs: My classmate Sam, when being asked what he was planning to do with his computer, replied with "I'm not going to like, jerk off to it." Cue horrified reaction from me, hysterical giggling from classmate, and shocked laughter from teacher. It has never beeen mentioned again.

This troper had a BLAM happen to her while she was living in the dorms during college. I went to the elevator to go down and use the computer lab one night during the weekend only to find out the guys from the floor below had commandeered the elevator for a poker game, complete with a table and chairs. I decided to use the stairs and not mention it to my roommate.

This troper was in the middle of a normal biology lesson when a girl from a younger year wanders in and asks for, and I quote, "The Dalek Helmet." This Dalek helmet. Our teacher just reaches under his desk and pulls out said dalek helmet, gives it to the girl and continues the lesson. He never explained why he had a dalek helmet in the first place...

I was doing a musical in 4th Grade on space. Apparently my music teacher didn't think the songs they supplied us with, and added another song to the mix. The song she added was on space worms, which is a song she must love considering I heard it way too much in my earlier years with her. The problem is, the subject has very little significance to the rest of the musical (the other songs covered blasting off, the sun and the moon, the planets, asteroids, and one small step). Not only that, but they hardly tried to hide the fact it was their own work; all of the other songs were played off a CD, whereas this one was a piano song, making it sound even more BLAM-like. The fact that the spoken lines that went along with weren't rhyming did not help at all. So, in the end, it turned into an extremely obvious filler.

This troper hand one of those in middle school. I was sitting on the top of a hill inside the school grounds acting out that famous scene from Lion King with my friend (odd, I know) when I suddenly looked behind me and saw a young, blond woman in a black coat on the other side of the fence with a professional looking camera taking a picture of us and then walking off... Only now do I realize how creepy that sounds.

When on vacation is Spain, I suddenly saw two guys rushing out of a shop, each carrying a big tray of sunglasses, and ran across the street without even caring about the traffic. ...That needs an explanation.

I was standing at my bus stop, and all of a sudden a bum is standing next to me. He then starts talking, barely able to form normal sentences, saying he noticed me around before and that (wait for it this is creepy) he has a crush on me. He then says he's not as old as he looks (he looks about 50, I'm 14). After following me around for a while, he leaves. Other people at the bus stop ask if I know who he is. I say no. They say he's weird. I say yeah. Nothing else is said. A few weeks later, he snuck into my school, and upon seeing me walked up to me and hugged me. Thank God no one else was there.

A few weeks ago, my friends and I were at the mall, doing our regular shopping. A random woman approached us and told us that we were all horrible people, with no explanation. A guy at a nearby kiosk told us that she's been doing that all day. Apparently she thought we were horrible because a friend of mine is a redhead, and redheads are servants of the devil. Alrighty then!

During this troper's senior year of high school, she took psychology. One day, while I was minding my own business at my desk, another student leapt out from behind the teacher's desk wearing a ninja costume. I, and the other three girls in my row, shrieked and nearly fell out of our chairs. It was never mentioned again, even in the context of all the other weird things that same prankster did.

I was walking down the street with three of my friends, two guys walked past and one turned to the other and screamed at the top of his lungs "I DON'T WANT YOUR AIDS!"

This troper was once driving to the local clothing store when he saw a random guy in a fursuit riding on a bicycle. When he described the situation to a couple friends, they just shrugged it off and acted as if this was completely normal, even going so far as to question him about why he thought it was unusual. WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW

In 8th grade this Troper was walking to lunch with a friend when out of the blue this girl in 6th grade I had never seen before in my life randomly walked up alongside us and asked me out. Needless to say I politely declined, she walked away and my friend and I shared the "this moment never happened" look.

This Troper invoked this on purpose. She was standing in her mum's doorway, very quietly, decided to shout the trope name at the top of her lungs, and leave. Family acted like it didn't happen, unless you count my mum telling my brother "Your sister's weird."

This troper was taking his dog for a walk when he for some reason heard music. 1st it was the electric slide. Then it was some other type of music. Then it plays the song from Phinease and Ferb during Perry's BSOD when Doof fights his new nemines, Peter the panda. And it was coming from a car. No one was in it. Awkward.

Was with my family in the car on our way home from a concert at Lincoln Center (NYC for those of you who don't know) and stopped at a light when suddenly some guy walked in front of us, singing loudly. He even stopped walking for a moment for a particular loud word and kept walking. By the time I rolled my window down to get a better listen, he suddenly stopped. The people in the car next to us had a complete "WTF?!" look on their faces. My dad just said "I love New York."

This troper is taking a summer calculus course at college. This particular professor has proven to be the most fun and dynamic math teacher that I have ever had in my life, always trying to make jokes that are SoUnfunnyItsFunny. The day after our first exam, the professor came in and handed out photocopies of his lecture notes since they weren't up on his web page yet. He then proceeded to spend the entire hour reading a speech from a paper about how "math is important even though we have computers now" and how he was going to "tear down the apathetic attitude towards math we developed in high school." Cue the majority of the class, me included, going "WTF" in their heads and then promptly zoning out for the rest of the lecture.

This tropette has been called a walking BigLippedAlligatorMoment and she's rather proud of it. To her credit:

sitting in the atrium of the school cafeteria with an empty water bottle balanced on her head while greeting her friends.

poking her head into people's rooms, saying something random then walking away before a reaction can be made.

most famously walking into the wrong classroom, discovering her mistake, and waiting till rollcall to announce that she's in the wrong classroom, getting up and leaving without another word. I have two:

We were watching a documentary on cloning in my 8th grade science class. The narrator goes on about what a difficult process cloning is, and then all of a sudden, it says, "Someday, cloning may be as easy as it is on the popular television series SouthPark," before ''flashing to a random clip of said TV show.''

While at a sleepover, the hostess's brother walked in on us playing board games. He looked at us and said, "You all need to get laid," before disappearing for the rest of the night. Keep in mind that all the girls there were eleven years old.

Close, but no cigar. Trope Of The Week goes to AnvilOnHead. Poor, flat bastard.

This Troper is fairly sure that she caused one for some random teenagers at a water park. We were all at the wave pool, and I was enjoying myself, as a teenager ought to at a water park... Perhaps a bit too much... But as I was getting thrown about by the waves, I was sliding past them on my back, laughing as if I had completely lost my mind. These teenagers were laughing at me. And I did NOT care. Needless to say, I doubt they talk about "That crazy chick laughing at the wavepool"....
