B.A.M!! by JR Bobb Dobbs

March 12th, 2007 8:01 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Weird things happen in this city. To be fair, weird things happen in most cities, but there is something wonderfully eclectic about the odd occurrences in the SF area. These breaches in "reality" have been fondly dubbed B.A.Ms or Bay Area Moments and have been hypothesized to be a due in part to a nexus of energy lines that intersect directly under golden gate. The rest, I believe, we should blame on the 60s.

Have you ever been walking in Potrero Hill and all of a sudden for no apparent reason someone throws a hooker out of a moving car at you just as a knife fight breaks over a dispute involving rightful ownership of a house plant? B.A.M!!!

You are on campus in Berkeley when suddenly you realize you have mistakenly wandered directly into the middle of an a anti-fur rally with Abercrombie clad kids throwing fake blood on fake fur. To your left passes A chanting orange clad Buddhist processional in which everyone is inexplicably white, beyond which appears to be a S.C.A. meet where the black knight seems to be losing, and directly in front of you a homeless woman is performing a strip tease wile singing “Over There”. Luckily, a little old woman waddles by selling cookies; providing refreshments for the show......... B.A.M!!!


Document a B.A.M. of your own.

Not the Bay Area, but I think this qualifies.

I was enjoying a sunny weekday afternoon in Millennium Park in downtown Chicago, minding my own business, reading on a grassy patch. A Buddhist monk peddling his written wares, clad fully in his colorful robe, complete with bald head and obsequious demeanor inquired as to my potential interest in purchasing said wares. I dismissed him in my most Buddha-esque fashion (a wave of the hand), and he bid me farewell. However, I was compelled to watch him as he travelled from one relaxing individual to the next, Millennium Park holding its share of hookies and pooped tourists on this day; After about 10 minutes, though, the Buddhist monk was accosted by Park security, ill-tempered underpaid former felons sporting bright yellow shirts, black pants and helmets, RIDING SEGWAYS! Something very odd about a Buddhist monk being confronted by segway security personnel. B.A.M.

Oh, btw, the monk solicited the cyborg.
