Murphy's Law

bizarret by bizarret · Nov 12, 2003 · 558 views · Journal

So I took a much needed service day off today because i've been neglecting some repairs on my car. it really started to get to me. one of the pipes on my exaust was loose, so my car was REALLY loud. My brakes started to grind a little, so it's time to change them too. and i have some weird power loss, so i suspected bad spark plugs and wires. (no i'm not a motorhead)

anyway. i took the day off and drove up to my brother-in-law's warehouse to do the repairs, cause he has all the tools. i took me quite a while but i did it all. Great brakes now. Quiet car. Running better. All's well.

but now it's time to go to school. so i drive home to shower and change in time for school.

now what would be the perfect thing to happen to you after spending all day fixing your car???

you guessed it! smashing into a huge deer (4 point buck) and ruining your once smoothe, quiet, fast car. ahhh, life is good...

man Murphy said a mouthful...

That poor deer!!!! did you kill it!?!?!?!?!

bizarret #1.1 bizarretOG 2003

yeah i did. it came out of nowhere. i really didn't see it until i hit it. it didn't die right away. it was knocked out for like 5 minutes. then it woke up and started squirming and kicking. i felt really bad, but then it died like 2 minutes later. so i got out and spit on it for ruining my car... PATTTOOEEYY

englandkid #1.1.1 englandkidOG 2003

thats sick! you killed a deer!! Long prayer for you!!!

thatdarngirl #2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

This kid I talk at school..he just got a brand new car he's been saving for since he was 14..and then he hit a deer. He showed me his car, it has deer hair stuck to it. I did not appreciate that, but I'm sorry your car got messed up!!

bizarret #2.1 bizarretOG 2003

yodasucka #4.1.1 yodasuckaOG 2003

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 yodasucka

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 forrestina

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 forrestina

Wow..6 people in the car? I don't even know how it was possible to get onto the curb.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 thatdarngirl

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 forrestina

We had six people in my car once (it only legally fits 5) and we had to go through a police blocade.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 thatdarngirl

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 omegatweeter

omegatweeter omegatweeterOG 2003 yodasucka

omegatweeter omegatweeterOG 2003 omegatweeter

and you're right, it was brian's car! his spyder! lol i totally remember now, i always thought we hit mike's saturn but he was behind us.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 rocksupastar

what the heck it was raining and that's not an accident. what do you think bumpers are for. there was not even a scratch on either of our cars.

omegatweeter omegatweeterOG 2003 forrestina

*coughcoughcellphonecough* but i still think forreste's a good driver :D

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 omegatweeter

spunky aren't ya?

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 omegatweeter

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 yodasucka

hahaha red handed

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 forrestina

BUT it still doesn't count as an accident. no damages incurred.

omegatweeter omegatweeterOG 2003 forrestina

really? cool, now i can say that i have never been in a car accident.

ekulu ekuluOG 2002 forrestina

so since it wsnt an accident, does that mean you meant to do it?

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ekulu

definitely...like a little love tap

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 yodasucka

I've had a similar experience to this. We were in Ben's car following our friend Luke and the light turned yellow and Luke stopped and Ben didn't realize he was going to. So..it's pouring rain and we are heading towards Luke car..and Ben hasn't hit the breaks yet and I just go "oh" and all I'm thinking is that we're all gonna die. And hearing the account later from Luke's car it pretty much went "yeah..and we looked behind us and were like..'yeah..ben's not gonna stop'" it made a big boom!

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 forrestina

forreste, what about when you drove over that sidewalk in poughkipsie? and we all had to get out to make your car lighter and then bobby and i picked it up so you could get off the sidewalk?? what about THAT????

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 skaorsk8

HAHAHA yes!!! that was so funny!!!

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 skaorsk8

also not an accident...just cus i said so. ;)

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 forrestina

lesson learned: never listen to meL when she says it's okay to back up.

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 forrestina

u JUST learned that.. really the lesson behind everything is: never listen to mel EVER....

#5 toxicgirlOG 2003

I almost hit a fox tonight. Of course, that isn't as exciting as a deer. But he did flash his demon eyes at me.

forrestina #6 forrestinaOG 2002

i know someone who hit a deer. everyone made fun of said person by making them feel bad...telling them the deer was preggies.

fivezero #7 fivezeroOG 2003

theremin and i hit a dear once on the way to his school. he whomped that things too. skidded across the ground and all. i'm sorry i said that word, dude. i, i, i was scared!

web-toedchloe #8 web-toedchloeOG 2001

I hit a baby deer once. It ran into my tire when I was going about 65 and there was blood and deer hair on my tire for about a week. It wouldn't come off. I think it was the spirit of an angry Bambi.

flomojopoanode #9 flomojopoanodeFounder

Tob, I'm soooo sorry! That's horrible! If there's anything I can do, let me know (I wrote this in case you don't get my direct ezabel message to you)

bizarret #9.1 bizarretOG 2003

give me your car. that would help... haha ;) - no, thanks though. i'm doing some shopping online today for parts to see if it's worth it to fix it or just get a new ride.

flomojopoanode #9.1.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

t-baz, collect them all

deutschlandboy #10 deutschlandboyOG 2003

that just happened to matt's dad 2 weeks ago.
they made slim jims out of the meat. good stuff.

flomojopoanode #10.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

I know, except the car was a volvo and so it recieved very little damage

J
#10.1.1 jollycandymanOG 2001

believe it or not it actually fixed the car, it was better, stronger faster after the crash

bizarret #10.2 bizarretOG 2003

i know it's probably okay to eat the meat of a deer that you hit with your car. not much different from shooting it. but it just kinda grosses me out. it seems unclean if it's hit by a car. am i the only one that thinks this?

ilikebirds #10.2.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

well if you bleed it.. it should be all good.

bizarret #10.2.1.1 bizarretOG 2003

it just seems so.... PENNSYLVANIA.... DUUUUUYYYYEEEEEE!!!

toxicgirlOG 2003

wow, haha, that was so wrong!

T

malibu #11 malibuOG 2001

so i just wanna ask what murphy's law is?

bizarret #11.1 bizarretOG 2003

to sum up:

anything that can go wrong, will.

malibu #11.1.1 malibuOG 2001

where is it from?

bizarret #11.1.1.1 bizarretOG 2003

murphy brown

yodasucka #11.1.1.2 yodasuckaOG 2003

i thought it was something to do with math...

bizarret bizarretOG 2003

haha! math is for dumm peepl

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003

i kno... this is y i failed every math i've ever taken.. but for real.. isn't it a math thing?

D
dgiaimoOG 2003

I don't think so.

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003

haha ok ur right... its not... i was thinking of Kramers Law... which is completely different.. ok i'm done being stupid...

bizarret bizarretOG 2003

no, kramer. that's a different show. he's on Seinfeld.

but seriously the origin is:

"Murphy's Law ("If anything can go wrong, it will") was born at Edwards Air Force Base in 1949 at North Base.

It was named after Capt. Edward A. Murphy, an engineer working on Air Force Project MX981, (a project) designed to see how much sudden deceleration a person can stand in a crash.

One day, after finding that a transducer was wired wrong, he cursed the technician responsible and said, "If there is any way to do it wrong, he'll find it."

The contractor's project manager kept a list of "laws" and added this one, which he called Murphy's Law."
