Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Famous/semi-famous friends

Now?? I never denied it was directed at you, that was fairly obvious. Even you figured it out.

Only one person on here blowing his own horn, LOL: Q: "Do you know any famous people?" A: "I'm famous!!"

Sorry, but I just can't abide a person who needs to blow his own horn like you do, it's just the way I was raised.

My best accomplishment is, I've put three sons through college, how about you?

Best friend got cut out of US Marshals. FYI, all the Illinois State Police in that movie were real.

My cousin is the Chaplain for the Chicago Cubs.

If I tell you, you’ll be triggered and go on a jealous rant that I’m blowing my own horn


Like usual

My Uncle Freddy was kinda a big thing.

Good morning, actually I see it's afternoon out in Virginia, I hope that as January winds to a close it's treated you well overall.

There's a hockey school in the closest city to us and through it I've met a couple NHL players. One was the father of one of our daughter's friends in high school and we ate at each other's houses a couple times back when.

The other one seemed less friendly but he might have been having a bad day, who knows?

To be clear, I'm one of less than 200 people who were born and raised in Saskatchewan who can't skate, curl or watches hockey...

I was asked to leave and need written permission to visit...

One of the things I traded my life for money at was managing a storage facility. One of my favorite clients was an older chap who was way, way up in seniority for the Teamsters. His work involved moving the specialty trailers for movie sets all over the Lower Mainland - I guess some of the makeup trailers are close to 60' long and only a couple guys can move them and they're permitted? Forget now but it was that which got him onto the sets and then he'd drive around Mr. Deniro's assistant's assistant to get coffee mostly in a Suburban sort of rig.

When we would chat about different movie sets he was on he mentioned that watching the more famous actors interact with the "little people" on set, most of them were malignant rectal orifices.

Somebody I talked to who I've totally misplaced in my memory now said that Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn used to come up and watch their son play hockey - goalie for the Richmond Sockeyes - and they said they were typical hockey parents when they were at the rink.

All the best to you this week sir.

Here is acouple of people that I've met along the way. First up is Lones Wigger. What a pleasure to meet, down to earth, nothing flashy, just the real deal!



Next is Clarence "Bud" Ollum. He puts the bad in badass! Had all four jumps with the Eightyduce during WWll. Jumping Jim Gavin himself pinned a Silver Star on Bud. He's mentioned in Brokaw's second book. Just an ordinary guy that stated what every vet stated that he's no hero, that the real heros were left behind. My other bud that was there told me that there was full bird Colonel's saluting Bud when he went to Benning, when his Grandson graduated from jump school!

My wife is friends with the drummer of KORN.......

Not many can combine bitching about bragging and then bragging in a single post as well as you.

I know a few former NFL players. Most are in their 60's by now and are long retired. Most were offensive linemen. Ray Donaldson, played 17 years at center. First with the Baltimore Colts then finished his career with a Superbowl ring with the Cowboys was the most successful.

I don't know anyone currently playing. Chris Jones, who punted for the Cowboys until 2 years ago was the last. I know his dad.

I was never enamored by movie stars or rock stars or famous athletes. They are just people, often rich but human nonetheless. The people that I am impressed with are those that have done something positive for humanity or their country. Countless soldiers, sailors and airmen, combat veterans from every war our country ever fought in would be a far far preferable introduction for me. I’d happily sit quiet and listen to men like our own DigitalDan, Gunny Hathcock, General G.A. Custer, etc, etc. Those are men that have done something noteworthy and money wasn’t their motivation. If money or fame is the primary motivator for a person then that person is NOT interesting to me.

Jason Elam held the record for the longest field goal for years at 62 or 63 yards and flew his Beaver part time for an air service out of Soldotna. I met him at the float plane dock as I was loading gear into our Cessna as he and his sons loaded their gear into their Beaver. They were headed east caribou hunting and we were headed up to a lake up in the mountains. Our son was a big time football fanatic and a great player so I had Jason Elam sign a hat I bought at the air service he flew for.

I’ve met quite a few famous people like Lucille Ball but they weren’t friends. I was friends with a couple guys that were in and started bands like the Butthole Surfers and another grunge band or 2. 😀. Our son, through his football camps, has become “friends” with several guys that are in the NFL now. They were his coaches at various camps and showcases across the country and they struck up a friendship. I shook Peyton Mannings hand and wished him good luck in retirement and we chatted for a few minutes casually along the sidelines. Eli was standing there too and I totally ignored him 😂. Sean Peyton came and sat down next to me at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodeaux LA and said something innocuous to me, I got my wife up and we moved up a couple of rows. That was just after he got in trouble as well as the N.O. Saints for paying players to hurt their opponents. I won’t associate with someone that I DO NOT respect…..I don’t GAF how rich and famous they are, if they are so despicable as to intentionally try to break bones, induce concussive blows and cause unnecessary physical harm to their opponents they are the antithesis of the lessons that I’m teaching my children. Famous people that use their resources to cause damage, intentionally or unintentionally, cast a wide net with their bad behavior. They should be setting good examples for young people. Unfortunately many famous people are terrible examples of human beings.

I spent a fantastic night and early morning drinking Glenmorangie with a British WWII Lancaster pilot. He flew all his required combat missions plus many more dropping bombs on Germany and he enjoyed having a young American man that was truly interested and blessed by his new friend.

Everyone’s mileage is variable….

Ha! If memory serves, he was one of the judges that let a very old Mae Young win the Miss Royal Rumble swimsuit contest when I was a kid?

LOL, putz #2 weighs in. That's not bragging Burns, it's a direct response to your boy Comiglia's derogatory statement directed at me, quoted here:


I simply stated my most noteworthy accomplishment, in response to his mischaracterization of the facts. Someone tells me I've never accomplished anything, I'll respond.

Unlike you and Comiglia, who need no prompting.

To be fair, he blows a lot of other peoples horns too.
But yes, blowing his own is quite an accomplishment.
#flexible

No hotrod lincoln yet? I was looking forward to that one.

There ain’t enough bandwidth on the entire interwebs.

Well we are making some progress.

You admit you did intiate the derogatry comments. It's your nature to start schiet and then whine when someone responds and rubs your nose in your poo.

You admit to bragging and trying to start a dick measuring contest when Rick responds to your unprovoked derogotory post.

It's funny when you whining Nellies think you're some kind of Mod here and need right the wrongs. But you were brought up that way.

Litterally no greater hubris than to think your job in life is to make sure nobody brags to much on an internet forum and makes you feel small.

I actually enjoy watching the damage you do to the business you work for, not so much the damage you do to peoples businesses and public reputations that you claim affiliation with who are probably unaware that their names are being drug through the John Burns scheit show.

Isn’t it interesting that when polesmoker posts his accomplishments, he’s not “blowing his own horn”,
But if anyone else posts their accomplishments, it is “blowing your own horn”?

How does that work?


🤣😂🤣
