Yep. No shite.
Just like one of the one's you see that causes a huge backup on the highway.
"What happened?"
Well officer I was traveling East-bound in lane number 1 (fast lane) of the QEW when traffic came to an abrupt and sudden stop. I applied my brakes and all forward activity ceased. A second later I was smashed from behind by a car who's forward activity only ceased after it hit me.
I was okay, cept for some minor whiplash, the car in front of me had no damage and the car that hit me and my back bumper were going to need some work.
All of a sudden there were OPP and tow trucks and it's a whole scene. (Actually both are Chick cops, one quite cute one too. Hello Officer CuteCop!)
It's immediately weird. Everyone on the scene is having a Humble Howard moment.
The girl that hit me is all,"Hey you're that guy on 99.9?" (Uh, no not so much.)
Officer CuteCop says, "If you're okay, I'll have to ask you a couple of questions. What happened? How come you're not on the Radio anymore?(Patience.)
It's all a bit surreal.
We're all uninjured and we drive/tow our little accident circus off to the shoulder and then over to a gas station.
Want to know the most bizarre thing? The girl that hit me was driving a vehicle from the Volvo dealership that services my car! I'm not crapping ya.
The owner shows up and he couldn't have been nicer. (Also a H+F fan.)
Later I show up at the dealership and forget renting some shite car, he gives me some sweet xc70-mobile. They take care of everything and it's all easy-peasy.
Actually outside of a sore neck it was a fairly pleasant experience with a bunch of people who seemed to like my old Radio show ("Hows Freddie?") and wouldn't mind hearing me on the Radio again.(me too.)
I had a funny moment at the side of the QEW with the other lady Cop. She says, "Thanks for not being such an actor!"
Say what?
She explained that it was nice that since I wasn't injured I didn't "Act" like I was.
For some reason I thought she meant she'd seen some of my work(Degrassi, Instant Star, Ed's Night Party) and was commenting on my naturalness in front of the camera!

Ha! I knew you would like the Pikachu humpathon!
Sorry to her about your accident.
And those bobcat drivers have WAY too much time on their hands.

Glad you are well, Howard....hey, aren't you that guy on the radio?

You were on the radio? I wondered why your name was so familiar.
Actually I still have my Humble and Fred shares.
When are you going to be back on the radio, I'm seriously fed up with Derringer. He's alright but he's not you. Please come back!
