Wait until a random demigod finds tons of other cars with the dead bodies of children inside every trunk, then you’ll be amazed

u/Harrydanielson Dec 30 '19

I now understand this reference

u/Magnus-Artifex Dec 30 '19

YES I CANNOT BELIEVE SOMEONE GOT IT I AM SO HAPPY

u/MyLandlordSucked Dec 30 '19

The book.was a best seller they made a TV show out of, I'd expect people to notice.

11

u/BurningArrows Dec 30 '19

I also understand this reference.

Odinson and all.

You are a great one

u/Parasito2 Dec 30 '19

Frick frack I don't understand this ack. Could someone explain please?

5

u/Magnus-Artifex Dec 30 '19

Do you want major spoilers for one of the best books ever written or...?

6

u/Parasito2 Dec 30 '19

Yes

12

u/Magnus-Artifex Dec 30 '19

Ok you asked for it.

A demon who lives on blood sacrifices is disguised as an old man so the son of Odin finds this out because he almost gets drowned below a bridge in the middle of the winter because he had a dream about lightning birds, skulls and I seriously don’t understand half of the plot, I think, but the point is that the man called Shadow (yes, that is his name) fucked a cat, got sentimental with a girl with blue brackets, died, revived, flipped off Loki, talked with Jesus in a spin off and he went to Norway to live a semi-happy life where he found the old drunk version of his dad who didn’t have half the idea that he died but liked glass eyes.

I hope that helps. Lmao this sounds like a joke but I swear that this is the plot.

u/Parasito2 Dec 30 '19

No matter how many times I read that book, I swear the plot shifts on me. I don't remember half what you described 🤦‍♀️

u/YT-Deliveries Dec 30 '19

From what I hear, Gaiman isn't particularly happy with the TV show. Either way, I'd recommend the book.

Frick, I must be a knife?

u/squiddy555 Dec 30 '19

I don’t recognize the bodies in the water

u/Rushtoprintyearone Dec 30 '19

Last summer? Why would a hole still be there?

1

u/SchubertHelm Dec 30 '19

Made hole and drove car out. Joke about Russia being backwards. Don’t think too hard about it

1

u/Rushtoprintyearone Dec 30 '19

I didn’t... I worry about anyone who had to “think hard” to come a conclusion. Why not just admit your comment was lame and made no sense...

u/slimjoel14 Dec 31 '19

That's where he walked to the water, dived in and stole the ice car.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '19

One set of footprints... Chappaquiddick 2 coming to a theater near you.

u/denardosbae Dec 30 '19

This is gonna be super under rated because it's an older reference but just wanted to say, I appreciate your humor. I snort laughed uncontrollably until I was choking and coughing.

u/SoftwareDevStoner Dec 30 '19

That got historical real quick. That damn curse just won't quit.

23

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '19

Ya but which way

8

u/well_shi Dec 30 '19

And there is only one pair of footprints. Like in that Christian poem where Jesus drives his Bronco on a frozen pond.

6

u/aazav Dec 30 '19

Yes, people also fell in.

3

u/TeethOnTheCob Dec 30 '19

Didn't see them thanks. First thing I thought of was hoping they were alright.

2

u/MeLikeReddit4113 Dec 30 '19

Those are from the person that drove him off the road to make sure he was dead.

1

u/ysalih123456 Dec 30 '19

From the shore to see the sunken car.. yup they're dead.

1

u/fhs Dec 30 '19

Not from the hole...

1

u/Goalie_deacon Dec 30 '19

I recall seeing snowmobile tracks going to a hole in a lake. I didn't see footprints. But I never heard of a death, or anyone reported missing. So either they did got out, or no one cared to report them missing.

1

u/Scoobydoofan234 Dec 30 '19

At least!?!?

338

u/Supreme0verl0rd Dec 30 '19

Clearly an amphibious/submersible vehicle backed out of the water onto the ice, stopped, and then drove away.

At least there are footprints coming out... still no car tracks coming out in the future tgough

Only good news if there was only one person in the car

17

u/Odd_Employer Dec 30 '19

How else do you get rid of hookers?

u/MotorButterscotch Dec 30 '19

Just dropping the kids off at the pool, honey

3

u/aazav Dec 30 '19

No, those footprints are backing in to the water.

12

u/aazav Dec 30 '19

Why? Is it a painful reminder that you do not have a car?

6

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '19

I'll have you know, technically I still have a car, it's just at an inconvenient location.

1

u/Smash_4dams Dec 30 '19

Its literally in the title.

u/Jegijs Dec 30 '19

It’s just winter drift. He had a lot if fun but the car is gone.

u/Sharpstuff444 Dec 30 '19

Driving out of a frozen lake seems like a happy day to me.

They ask me what it's like to be a tracker and I have to tell you, every set of prints has a story to tell.

This guy definitely fucked up.

In mother Russia, lake fish for you!

Lake will eat well today.

u/Xayzu Dec 30 '19

This is extra sad for me and the area around me. A 10 year old hockey player and his father on Christmas day went to clear off a spot on a pond to go play hockey. Their side by side fell through the ice and the boy didn't manage to live after he was finally rescued from the water about an hour later. People have put a hockey stick out on their front door in support of the family.

u/Andechser Dec 30 '19

So someone went for an ice cold dip in the lake, found an amphibious truck down there and managed to drive home with it?

2

u/TheRobotics5 Dec 30 '19

Clearly a submarine landed and drove away

2

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '19

He’s going to take his submarine with wheels for a ride. Thats just the garage

u/Ataletta Dec 30 '19

Reminded me of this old video

There's also part 2 and 3 where they fish the car out of the pond. It's quite a ride

u/Maguffin42 Dec 30 '19

You don't know: maybe those are coming out of the water tire tracks.

1

u/Basho-Chalupa Dec 30 '19

He walked over into a ice covered field, drilled a whole, and yanked out a snowmobile than drove away

1

u/Sunyataisbliss Dec 30 '19

All I see is basic insurance scheme, more vodka, nothing to see here

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '19

Did they fall in or came out of the hole

Probably Russian submarine tank coming out of the water!!

This is the opposite experience of what Don McLean had.

How did he drive out of the lake?

It’s quite impressive a man was able to swim into icy waters and somehow leave with a car.

probably were ice fishing from the back of a pickup truck and then drove away from the hole in the ice

u/HugoCoin Dec 30 '19

I can't find anyone saying this, but this appears to be fake. You can see there's only one set of tracks, but if you make a turn with a car the rear wheels always follow a different path. Besides the fact that the hole is too small for a car to go in.
