Lightning Ron

Jersey City, New Jersey, July 29, 2006:

He's lucky to be alive. A New Jersey man who was hit by lightning has been suffering from headaches and chest pain, but is glad to be a survivor.

Ronatarian Party founder and leader Ron was working in his yard on Friday. He had one hand touching his famed Camaro and the other holding a pole when the lightning hit, throwing him several feet.

Ron says he was "rolling like I was on fire." He was slightly burned on his hands, chest, and forehead. His trademark mustache remained unharmed.

Ron won't be throwing away the scorched Motorhead T-shirt he was wearing. He says he considers it his "lucky shirt," and is going to have it framed.
