the strangest thing ?  My shadow stayed hidden when I came in the sunshine....

(sorry, not a creative mind)

The strangest thing that my shadow does is that it's following me everywhere (and since my birth!).

Well look at this shadow and not the sun shinning threw.

My shadow is incredibly lazy. Only ever puts in a half day shift.

My shadow carried me back home after a SIndy party! 

(Or at least that's how I remembered it the morning after!) 

my shadow becomes  2 when I have 1 glass of beer and 4 when I have taken 2 glasses of beer :-)

My shadow tried to beat up Chuck Norris ...

Hello,

I love this show! i watched the ad on the tram and i was wonder if anyone from glocals would give it away for free and there you are!

I have a story about shadow that is neither funny or creative, but I want to share it here as some of you may experience the same situation as well. I lived in a small city one hour from Jakarta-Indonesia, called Bekasi. Last time, we didn't have steady electricity so there was always times when the night was so dark without any lamp on for the radius of perhaps 5KM. Total darkness.

Since young, me and my little sister didn't get along that well (because I thought she steal all the attention from me), we always fought, quarreled, and throwed hatred to each other. One day the electricity went off and there were only me and her in the room and she started to cried. My dad came with a candle stick and tried to calm her down but it didn't work. My mum gave her something to drink but she cried non-stop. Then I scalled her to look at me as I was playing my hands and made up some nonsense story with the shadow made by them. And she stoped crying and join me to play with the shadow too.

That moment didn't change anything between me and her, but it surely change my perception of little sister. She didn't take away the attention from me, she actually gave me another additional attention. Attention from a little sister :)

So about the question, hmmm..I never really stay under the dark with small light that much which would give me a lot of experience to see funny shadow. But I remember there is one day I see my self looking a little disgraceful as if I am doing my "business" in the middle of the street. It was either that or I simply have a tail and a trunk sticks to my behind the whole time that I wasn't aware of.

This is a picture I found online that looks like this one below.

Thanks for the opportunity for the tickets Nir. I hope that you choose me :)

I don't know if yours, but my shadow is afraid to darkness.

Not the funniest,

but the first time I meet the Mother-in-law i saw her cast a shadow of a Witch on a broom stick, hehehe

and on my wedding day I could see the res-embalance in my wife.

Dave: I'd take a wife that looks like that anyday, regardless of what her shadow is like!

Stef: that was me, it wasn't your shadow!

In my college days...ahem...I lived with some guys and we had a thing for Bear in the Big Blue house, especially early in the morning, which was still night time for us as sleep had not been acquired, nor necessary. After a few episodes one morning, and the accompanying smoking material, I preceded to believe my shadow was a unique entity, and had a great ole chat about turnip soup with my shadow. My friends continue to retell the story, especially highlighting my sadness and genuine tear in my eye when it got too bright from daylight, and I wished my new friend farewell....

I'm scared of my own shadow...so refuse to look. 

...and shadows also tell the truth. he he he 

Charlie,

I see no shadow, just censorship.

Shadows can be tricky, where some people will see what they want.

My shadow keeps telling me that I should go to see the psychologist. I think she's mad...

look on the leg to the left of the censorship

Here some of the top funniest things shadows do... ;-)

i am frequently overtaken by my shadow when under the affluence of incohol.

I mostly like my shadow at night when you walk in the street with street lights on. it is like a race between you and the shadow - you think that you are the lead and suddenly shadow overtakes you but you do not give up and walk further and overtake the shadow :)  

Fart! and I am serious!!

eating me!

not following me anymore but a cute guy in the street...

During times of high school, as I was hiding to have a smoke, my shadow decided to tell my parents about this bad habit that I had;)

So, this film is based on my life. I wrote an award-winning biography called 'The Darker Side of Me - STOP FOLLOWING ME, SHADOW' which Disney used as inspiration for the character of Dr Facilie in 'The Princess and the Frog'. Here is a scene taken directly from my book. As a cartoon.

4s I was giving birth to my son, there must have been a light spotting his exit (it look him more than 24 hours to appear so maybe the doctors had put our a searchlight) - net I was treated to a  shadow silhoutte of the scene from alien where the alien exits the human.   as most mums know this was a portent of things to come, everything is alien when you come home with your first child -   luckily things has got a little calmed now, as he is at school studying shadows in his science class and would love to go see this show. 

Picture taken 9/9/2012 at LA, California. Vacation time.

The strangest and funniest thing of the picture is "my ears have different size" hahahaha!

Actually, I don´t think it is the truth...

The strangest & funniest thing is to see my kids dancing on the palm of my hands, much like Gulliver Travel, with the Lulliputians dancing on my palm.  It is already exiting when there is one shadow dancing seemingly on your palm, even more so when several are dancing.  The incredible thing is when you realize that, in fact, your kids are just as tall as you are.  As an idea, Pilobulus might like to show that.

Fart! and I am serious!!

The weirdest thing my shadow has done to me recently was to walk in front of me.

As I heard from my mom, I discovered the little black creepy thing that was always following me around when I was about 15 months old. And for a whole period of two months, I would scream whenever I was put on the ground to walk, as I was so scared of the black monster and I knew it would appear whenever I was left standing there alone! The realisation that it would do no harm was such a relief, then my biggest hobby was to step on other people`s shadows, which I still do now, 30 years later, oops.. 

Appear on Xfactor and not get booed....

When the sun is high and hot, it hides under my feet. It gets long and all trimmed at the end of the day. It doesn't get out in the rain. And it's always clean even if it lives on the ground!

Wow!! That's my competition. I have the coolest shadow ever!!

My sahdow can fly, dance, jump... It's very funny and it's always joking!!

Here I have a video from me and my shadow.

Peter Pan

scared me to death on a winters night.. Was in the living room and had some candels burning and when I heard a strange noise (which in the end was nothing at all) I walked into the hall and cause of the candles suddenly my shadow appeared on the wall and I obviously thought this must be a burglar.. haha.. 

My shadow left me when there were two. Now I need the 2 tickets to get my shodow and her company back to me !

Shadows are like clods, smoke or fire, you can see wathever you want there. Where some some of us see brides others see witches. Where some see fear others see joy. Where many people see nothing Shadowland sees art. It came the time when I was much younger and inspired by the tale of Peter Pan (who could nor catch his shadow) i tried to move faster than it. At start it was a game, but as time passed i tried to move faster and faster than my shadow, every time I was running and jogging I did everything I could to move faster than it. When my athletics coach asked me why did I finished so exhausted even in the trainings I told him my "silly story", and he said "whatever works for you kid" six years later I won the Panamerican Junior contest on athletism in 2001 in Santa Fe (Argentina), and I owe it all to my shadow.

I think the strangest thing I've ever seen my shadow do is to show my real me when I am not looking, damned it! I have been a shadow victim many times just as this crab, this guy on the street, this couple of older people with a dancing soul or this mountain of trash, which has a very very very worrying shadow too.

My shadow is a mystery. It points to things deeper than we know. Its a part of us that appears only at certain times and changes in shape and size whenever it does. My shadow is a metaphor for life. You never know what to expect really  

I have always wanted a monkey tail! For climbing, scratching and balance.

Standing in front of a pole with some streamers, my shadow once gave me a glimpse of mz fantasy and grew a fluttering tail. It was the happiest 30 seconds I have ever shared with my shadow!

Creating hilariously immature but brilliant penis/boob shadows out of anything you can find....you can get old but being a child never gets old :-)

I saw my shadow picking its nose while I was actually picking my teeth!!!!

At the edge of night, as the last rays of light dwindled, my shadow asked how I stood being alone without respite as it extended into the blackening sky.

I never saw it do anything strange as it's always hiding behind my back! (Now I understand why I always wear sunglasses: I'm always facing the sun ;0)  )

The strangest thing happen today, when my shadow asks me to bring it to the Shadow Land show. I have to win the tickets as I won't my shadow to be upset with me as we have to be all life together  :D

oh! I thought it was too fat to be mine! ;-P

Pull out my gun faster than me!

My shadow’s a bit of a fair-weather friend,

It’s something I’ve always found funny.

She’ll disappear off when I’m down or life’s dark,

But jump right back out when it’s sunny.

But oh, how she can keep me amused,

Those long summer BBQ days,

When I sit, immune to the drink in my hand,

And she climbs through her alcohol haze.

I’ve seen her dance on tables and chairs,

Falling off in a regular fashion;

Trying to pretend it was just part of the move,

And carrying on with full passion.

I’ve seen her wearing a traffic cone,

‘cause it seemed a good idea at the time,

and then flirting like crazy with the local police

as she wormed her way out of a fine.

I’ve seen her phone that ex-boyfriend up,

And profess her undying lust,

And I’ve had to sort out the mess the next day,

Once her alcohol high has gone bust.

But the strangest think my shadow’s ever done

Is carry out all of this on her own

‘cause I would NEVER join in such a thing

Even though I never leave her alone!

Stole my needle and thread

My shadow audited to star in "Shadow Land", but got refused - so now he at least wants to see the show. Wishing to express my sympathy, I told him I'd accompany him.

Once my shadow refused me to go back home because it was having too much fun drining beerswith my friends shadows  and dancing around  ... so I had to stick around in the club till morning 

Whenever I jog, my shadow develops hiccups.

My shadow asks me to see the bright side of life

Hey! 

Wherever I go, she goes.

My wife is like my shadow,

she follows me everywhere (^_^)

True story, I scared my cat once with my shadow!

The sun was shinning throw our windows, cats are on the sofa sleeping, and I am watering the flowers, going back and forth several times and then suddenly one of my cats saw my shadow and the jump from the sofa with a fright and then scared the other cat, somehow scared each other and started running around the flat trying to find somewhere to hide!! They didnt want me to come close to them for couple of minutes, had to hide in the other room til they had calmed down.

this is not my photo, but thought it goes well

 my story.

I forgot I had this, this where one of my cats hid. 

Hey Iona

i like the book of Oragami and Papercraft, can I borrow it

The stragest thing is that my shadow sometimes follows me and some other times goes in front of me. It confuses me in this way: Should I follow my shadow or my shadow should follow me! Who is the leader?!

A few years back I moved from MySpace To Facebook. My shadow followed me, of course, but refused to add me to his friends list...

I had to close my MySpace account a few years back because this douche kept harrasing me. Then as soon as I openned a Facebook account, there he was, wanting to be my friend...

My shadow leaving the ground.

My shadow always ignors me, whenever I talk to her, no response!

If I get NONE of these tickets........

I can see my shadow going ballistic....:-)

I jumped over my own shadow and - lo and behold - it gave me a thumbs up sign!

My shadow said to me one day: I quit!! 

to my surprise my shadow treats me like other people. when i follow her she runs away, when i walk away she follows me!!! when i stop to think what to do, she stands still and stares at me!!

Right now, I see my shadow give birth all the time... 

I am pregnant with my 4th child and really feel like I'm too old for this s#*&!!! So I guess my shadow is acting out my need to get it out!

And I still have 8 weeks to go!!! HELP!

it walked out on me!!

When my shadow is reflected in the lake and I throw a peddle... I free her :-)

When I was depressed and only a shadow of myself, that shadow had the courage to leave the old, safe life for a completely new, very uncertain and much much more difficult one, in order to bring me to the life I need to live.
Now, a lot stronger and with my own true colours, thinking about it; it is truly a strange thing that that shadow managed to walk alone from there to here, and let me find again the light inside me, stronger outlines of myself and just to stay to accompany me, instead of drawing the rest of me into the shadow world too.

Some great answers here...Opus1 (the show organizers) will have a hard time selecting the winners!

Mandela proundly once embued: A clever paleoanthropologist, studying the mitochondrial lineage behind the Out Africa hypothesis remarked in a moment of technical frustration: “if we didn’t all derive our ancestry from this great continent, then I have no way to explain how come all our shadows are black..”

One day, next to the Jet d'eau, I saw my shadow crying...

Dont know whats the strangest thing my shadow has done. When its with me it behaves pretty resonably... When its night and its not with me anymore, who knows what it is up to.....

My shadow fires a gun faster than me!! 

..Lucky Luke revealed.... 

The strangest thing I have seen MY shadow do (other than other peoples shadow's and generic google images ;) is...

KILL my huband's shadow when it (or he wasnt looking!)

Dear Shadow Dear Shadow

Sometimes High Sometimes Low

I may be dark, I may be white,

But you always as black as night

Always with me, never let me go

Been with me through joy and sorrow

But because of you I got caught handed red

With my girl in my room in my bed

Beaten I was black and blue

But your remained black through and through

Now when I am in bed, you will always hide

With my girl in my bed, no light by my side!

Since the question is “what's the strangest thing YOU'VE ever seen YOUR shadow do?" I have kept my answer exactly to what MY OWN shadow has done and no reference to anyone else's or anything's shadow!!

The strangest/funniest thing I have seen my shadow do, is

Show me how easy it is to “pick up” men!

Taking my place and being me :)))

like it!  made me laugh :D

I don't trust my shadow - he is a shady character!

"Shadow" in French is Ombre....

"Man" in Spanish is (H)ombre

there is something shady going on here....

Thanks for all the great replies! We'll know the winners in 15 min. I'll post the names once I get them. Good luck to everyone!

A cowboy is riding on the plains. He comes across an Indian buck naked lying on his back with a huge erection.
Disgusted he asked "What in the hell are you doing?"
The Indian looked at the shadow of his dick and said "It's 1:00 p.m."
The cowboy rode on. Soon he ran into another Indian. He was lying on his back naked with a hugh erection. The cowboy again asked "What in the hell are you doing?"
The Indian looked at the shadow and said "It's now 2:30 p.m."
The cowboy rode on. Later he came upon third Indian. He was lying on his back buck naked whacking himself off.
The cowboy asked "Jesus Christ! What are you doing?"
The Indian replied "I'm winding my watch."

My shadow sometimes feels like someone else following me when I walk along isolated areas, night or day.  Actually my heart beats faster and I have to hurry in case it is some dangerous - then I realise its only my shadow walking with me.
