That first story, not the gross one, reminds me of that time me and my friends where in the woods and we came across a cow, only we didn't know it was a cow at the time. We didn't know what it was so to find out my brillant friend decided to throw a stick at it.

I dunno if this belongs here or not, but my cousin lived across from an emu farm. One night at about 4 in the morning he calls me and asks me about the "Chubawhazits" and he came over and got me out of bed and we went to his neighbors farm where there was a mutilated emu or maybe emus all over the place. And because of me and my crazy stories he thought it was a Chupacabra. We later found out there was a pack of wolves in the woods behind the farm.
