Start your own urban legend...

[Bat Boy]

I've always wanted to start my own urban legend. I just thought it would be an enormous thrill to hear someone tell me about something that happened to their cousin’s friend’s nephew and know the story actually came out of my own fevered brain.

Here's mine:

In an effort to cut costs Wal Mart decided to use cheaper ink on its price stickers. Due to a chemical reaction between the cheaper ink and the adhesive used on the stickers, added to the enzymes in human saliva, the Wal Mart price tags become a powerful hallucinogen when licked.

A friend of mine had a buddy who worked in the warehouse at Wal Mart and he used to go to work just fine, but he'd come home tripping his brains out.

That's the legend. Feel free to pass it off as fact to your more gullible friends. I'm dying to hear this one come back to me.

I'm also looking forward to stoners storming Wal Mart and wandering through the aisles licking products when they think nobody's watching. I just love that image...

9. Not sure these fall into the Urban Legend category . . .

they're more like stories for the paranoid tin foil hatters.

I heard that the government is working on a couple projects. One is the development of a urinal cake that detects drugs and alcohol in someone's urine. These cakes are then put into all the urinals at rest stops on the highway. The automatic flush sensor actually has a camera behind it and when drugs are detected it snaps a picture of the person. This picture is then sent to the central office where they use a sophisticated computer system to attempt to match the face with their records, including automobile records. If a match is found, the person's information is sent to the highway patrol and is pulled over when they are spotted.

The next project is a even more sinister. A secret government agency is running puppy mills all over the south. When the puppies are born, they surgically implant a small surveillance camera behind one of their eyes. These cameras are used to spy on the eventual owner of the new puppies which are sold in stores all across the country. Whatever the dog sees, the government can see.

I started another rumor a few years back during the winter baseball meetings right after Selig took over as commissioner. There were a number of commentators complaining about the length of the game and I posted on a message board that Selig had proposed that after a home run, when there were no runners on base, the batter no longer had to run the bases to save time during the game. I had a couple dozen people fooled for a short time. :)

10. I heard this story about a veterinarian

He was treating a sick ferret and discovered Richard Gere hiding inside the poor creature's butt. True story.
