I Found It: Urban Horror Edition

posted by on July 17 at 16:48 PM

This just in from Slog tipper Scott:

Ok, so about an hour ago I’m at the corner where Madison, 16th and Pine all come together. I’m on my bicycle waiting for the light to change when I look down and see a huge, machete-esque KNIFE COVERED WITH BLOOD lying in the crosswalk. Whether this implement was last used to carve up some tasty steaks or to brutally murder someone, the butcher/murderer was careful enough to put it back in it’s protective vinyl sleeve before depositing it in the busy intersection. File under macabre.

For god sakes, that's a toy. It's fake blood with a clear sheath over it.

Or someone put a knife with real-looking blood in an intersection, and they're on that nearby 3rd floor apartment, and they videotaped you freaking out, and they uploading the clip to youtube, and they already have 20 comments and 100 ratings.

yes, obviously one of those Halloween fake knives. Aren't you newspaper people supposed to check sources or whatever?

It could be very real.

Why didn't you use your brain and call the cops. It could be much needed evidence.

Oh, I know, you didn't want to get involved. What a patsy!

@10,

That's the most incriminating thing I've ever read.

I swear it was my friend Chris. We were messing around with the machete his father bought him once, and I cut my finger, and he's like, "Quick! Bleed on the machete!"

Wait, why hasn't Golob weighed in? That blood has to be fake because it hasn't clotted.

"Aren't you newspaper people supposed to check sources or whatever?"

you're barking up the wrong tree my friend. the stranger's track record remains in tact.
