To answer my own poll:
After a particularly emotional Church service, I was sitting at a stop light on the one Sunday morning and I saw a Honda Accord turn through the intersection, driven by a clown in full make-up, nose, hat, and garb.
It felt like being in a Fellini movie.

I passed a similar clown on the Bay Bridge, and nearly caused an auto accident because I waved at the clown. The person driving the car had deep seeded clown-fear, and freaked out when I waved, and *gasp* the clown waved back. Of course, we were in the far left lane, and the clown was right next to us and coincidently going forward too, so there was nothing really that my friend could do to avoid the clown until we got off the bridge. He drove like a bat out of hell as soon as he was able, though, and I got a severe lecture about waving at clowns, especially when heading home when they can follow you and then kill you in your sleep.
As for the strangest thing I've ever seen? I'm not quite sure but the most surreal was when I saw 200 cowboys line dancing to Don't Cry For Me Argentina, the Madonna version, at a gay rodeo in a Maryland fairground in 1999. As one might imagine, it was quite complicated correography, and of course, it was perfectly executed.
