Well, I was a NASA launch countdown commentator, something only a handful of people have ever done, and never more than three at any point in time. Before that, I also did commentary for Air Force Titan III launches, which were public so seldom that I was the only guy on the planet doing them. All right!

I pumped out all of my wind-shied wiper fluid and filled the reservoir with gas I siphoned from my old 72 f250 several times one evening. I undid the tubing to the squirters and stuck the end of it in the carb and clamped it down with the air filter lid. Fuel pump had quit, dead deer in the back of the truck, and it was 60 some miles home before the days of cell phones. It would run a bit when I primed it so I just kept priming it with the window wash button. My first plan was to stop at the nearest ranch and call for help, but it worked so good for the first 15 miles, I just kept refilling the washer tank every 10 miles or so, and kept on going. It was all about thumb timing, by the time I got home, I was pretty good at it. Well done! Necessity is the mother of invention.

Biggest deer I've ever laid eyes one was just shy of 300". Not many people have seen a free range deer anywhere near 200", mush less 300"

Got food poisoning on a 13 hour flight from Hong Kong to San Fran. I'm positive it was from the food served an hour into the flight followed by 9 hours in the crapper.
It was a United flight.

Read this whole thread before saying "First Lier ain't got a chance".
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Released live cougars from my bobcat traps. By myself.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Lol nope just my lil hometown
I'd gotten around pretty decently during high school
But I left for a few years after, 1st to Alaska, and then 3 years in Chicago
It was during the hippie days and I'd cut my long hair, had my wolf knee high mukluks, leather jacket I'd bought in Chicago and a brand new Ford truck
To those lil country lasses at that point I must have seemed a bit exotic
I was 20 years old and pretty full of myself
2 of the girls were really cute, one other was absolutely beautiful and could go like a porn star, the 4th not ugly but wasn't ever gonna get chased hard in the bar scene later as I was headed thru town on the way home I see this skinny lil waif running away from the local jail
Offered her a lift, turns out she'd been over there talkin to her bf thru the window, it was a very old jail
I have an idea what they'd been talkin bout and I was the beneficiary of their lil talk
Dented the door on my new truck as she was giving head and I ditched it and hit a tree
I was really bummed about that, though later
I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't lived it
Like a lot of guys I've balanced two gf later in life, always good while it lasts
But for one night I got a taste of the rockstar life
It was fun! Damnit I shuda learned to play guitar
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Biggest deer I've ever laid eyes one was just shy of 300". Not many people have seen a free range deer anywhere near 200", mush less 300" For sure. Monster mule deer, whitetails and elk are breathtaking. I have seen two of each i didnt get.

Back in the 90's I sat in a camp chair watching an unbelivable light show courtesy of the Aurora Borealis in Nunavut while me and my buddies howled at wolves and drank Jim Beam and Labbat's Blue that we had flown in for $70 a case.

Google Maps says you can walk there from the road in about 3 minutes. Google Maps is fulla schit.
I got there by canoe , which itself wasn't exactly easy.
Looks easy enough but it isn't.
I don't know of any living person that's been there by land or water.
