I don't know which one of you glorious bastards did this, but you made my day...
I was at the store with my wife and kids. We did our shopping and came out, stopping at the curb to wait for a few cars to pass. My 4 year old decided to try to cross anyway. My wife was holding his hand, but he snatched himself free and tried to run across the street before all the cars had passed. He got a single foot off the curb and some guy out of nowhere grabs him and puts him back next to us. He turned to me and said 'Always keep a tight grip on him. I won't be there when it happens next time.' He then walked away and said 'Target is safe. Sector 3 secure.' into his watch. My wife and I were dumbfounded. She ran after the guy to thank him but he dissapeared.
I've been an internet geek for years, so I knew what was going on, but my wife is a Facebook/farmville/email type of person, so she never heard of the meme before. So not only did you possibly save my son from serious harm, you've had my wife going wtf for 3 hours now. In recognition of your service and quick thinking, I will honor you by playing along as long as I can. Salute!
