did you think i'd leave it at that? geez, your gullible.

so i was walking home today sometime before 8-ish, when on the corner of 27th and hoyt ave south, a mini-van hits a nissan Z...jumps it like a ramp and flips over landing upside down!!! man, if i were 30 secs sooner...i'd be eating that van right about now, and bloggy McB would be no more. i was trying to call de when it happened, i hung up on her and called 911...people came running from everywhere trying to pull the guy out...so while i'm trying to relay information to 911, i'm yelling at the people..."TURN OFF THE IGNITION!!!" and "DON'T MOVE THAT GUY!!", it was funny cause the operator was like "yeah, turn off the engine" and "yeah, don't move him"---like the crowd could hear him. there was only one guy in the car...and he was trying to crawl out...so they pulled him out and i went up to him to see if he knew his name, where he was, what day it was etc...the dude was really lucky, and he was A&O x 3 (alert and oriented to self, place and time), he was a bit dizzy but here were no visible wounds, so i walked him over to a step where we waited for the ambulance. he was totally fine, a little shaky but fine. i then realized that there was the other guy in the nissan, so i yelled for the other guy...he was standing in the crowd, raising his hands up saying he was fine...if that dude was a 1/2 sec later...that van would have hit the passenger side instead of the hood and he would've been done. so the NYPD, NYFD and the paramedics came, took the van dude put a cervical collar on him and a backboard and slapped him onto a stretcher into the ambulance. i asked the cops if they needed anything, like a statement or something, since i was the one who called it in...they said if they needed anything 911 had my number and would give me a call.

weird huh??

in other news...nancy loves her ipod mini and loves the songs i put on there too. she tentatively passed her boards, so please congratulate her when you see her...i say tentatively b/c although she passed the national exam, apparently she has to pass the standards set forth by the state...which shouldn't be a problem. her name isn't on the NYS office of professions website, so we're not going public at work just yet. but she basically passed and you can call her Dr. Nancy, officially.

in other, other news...hootie is peddling whoppers for burger king. how the mighty have fallen.

and brooke burke is in it too!!! what the???

do you realize you spelled "knew" incorrectly?...

...so they pulled him out and i went up to him to see if he new his name...

oh how the mighty have fallen... a Superhero, who can't spell. Not a good moment for Superheros around the world. Kids will now think that they can be superheros and not have to go to school to learn how to spell the past tense form of "KNOW".

great, today's kids - tomorrow's future is doomed for generations to come.

Thanks Joe!!

oh and nice job securing the scene of an accident!

WOW, that is some story. I am glad you weren't 30 seconds early. That is so crazy ass sh*t.

(Note: you also wrote "like the crowd could here him" instead of "hear" him. But it's ok. You're all wound up n' stuff)
