Blahr 0 #26 March 9, 2004 I have a good one! Leaving out the gory details, A few years ago I was dead. I dont mean figuratively. Dead. On the ground next to my apartment building in a pool of my own blood with a bunch of nasty holes in me. Breathing? Nope. Heart beating? Not at all. Now I'm alive. Everything works. No holes. All the blood is on the inside. Howzat for cool? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misslmperfect 0 #32 March 9, 2004 im sitting in dennys with a couple girlfriends at like 3am on a saturday night, when this crazy tall guy walks in with a leopard print fur coat, a big pimp hat with a white feather in it, and a pink boa. hes got like 6 really good looking women with him, and he sits in a booth by the door. this lil old lady that was waitressing whacked him upside his head and told him "NO SMOKING!" and directed him to the area we were sitting in. so he pulls up a seat with all his bitches (his words, not mine) at the table next to us. he says "whats up ladies" so we turn around and there sits dennis rodman lol. hes DRUNK as hell and starts bitching and moaning about the thousands he pays in child support per month per kid per baby's mama. i think we got his whole life story. all the while these women hes with are trying to rub all over my friends and i. very odd. as we're leaving he asks us to meet him at a local airport the next morning to go with him on a trip to malibu for the weekend. to this day, im not exactly sure why we didnt go. 2 months later he showed up at a club i was at, with a different set of 'bitches' and got kicked out and arrested for tackling some raver guy. strange guy, that dennis rodman. Oh Canada, merci pour la livraison! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZoneRat 0 #33 March 9, 2004 My only brush with fame: I fenced with Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson At Texas Tech U in lubbock in the mid 80's. He hung with the fencing club while the rest of the band played soccer with the team. Lefty. He barely beat me in foil. 10-touch/ win by two: The final score was 14-16. Kicked his ass hard in Epee, though. When he lost he claimed he was saving his legs for the concert that night. Whatever. “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophies.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blahr 0 #34 March 9, 2004 QuoteWoW...May I ask what happened?!? I was stabbed several times. The wounds opened several arteries. The abrupt drop in blood pressure is what caused me to arrest. I was revived in the ambulance. Total time dead was believed to be greater than 5 minutes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blahr 0 #36 March 9, 2004 QuoteNo wonder you quit drinking That event was actually unrelated to my drinking although it did take place during my drinking years. It was a robbery/mugging and I was not intoxicated on that occasion. Good thing too. Had I been filled with a depressant they might not have been able to revive me. The motive was a rather strong interest in my wallet. Unfortunately for the 2 guys that took it, I had about 5 bucks in there. Actually I suppose I could blame drinking since if it were not for my drinking, my marriage would not have broken up and I would not have been living where I was and consequently I wouldnt have been there that night waiting to get jumped by a couple of shitheads.

airtwardo 6 #38 March 9, 2004 Some years back.. I was on a flight from Hawaii to L.A. In 1st...sitting next to me is Lloyd Bridges! It just so happened he was also on the cover of People Magazine which I had a copy of... I asked politely for an autograph, telling him I was always a big fan. "Don't tell me", he said, "Sea Hunt changed your life!" NO! I answered.... "AIRPLANE!" ...He was laughing for 5 minutes! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #40 March 9, 2004 I met AZ Airspeed when I had about 130 jumps. (I know some folks don't care, but it was a really big deal for me, coming from a small DZ, Eagle Flight Skydiving, in TX). I walked into the Bent Prop one Thursday evening May of 2002, for the very first DZ.com gathering in Eloy. Well, I was there a day early and I didn't know anyone, to top it off I walked in wearing boots, jeans and a nice looking straw stetson (cowboy hat). It happened to be taco Thursday, so I walked up, got my tacos and asked a group of people if I could sit down. They said sure and so I sat. We had a lot of ideal skydiver chit chat. I asked them if this was their home DZ, if they were FFers, etc. They wanted to know about me and if I had really just driven in from TX (I was wearing a TAMU Skydiving Club t-shirt, and I'm sure the hat gave it away), how many jumps I had, etc. These folks were really laid back and very friendly, I felt very welcome. Well, after a few beers, I walk back out to my truck to sleep (remember I had just driven 18hrs straight from TX), so I laid down in the bed of my truck and was flipping through a magazine I brought with me before dozing off. What was it? It was a Muscle and Fitness, it happened to be the one where Eliana(sp?) had a profile done on her as an extreme sports fitness chick. It was then, at that moment did I realize who I had been bullshitting with just a while earlier. I thought that was cool.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Aviatrr 0 #44 March 9, 2004 Damn dude, you're extremely lucky. Any long term effects? Were the guys caught? QuoteThe motive was a rather strong interest in my wallet. Unfortunately for the 2 guys that took it, I had about 5 bucks in there. I had a guy try to rob me at an ATM one night. He had a knife. Unfortunately for him, I had a gun. I have mixed feelings about his survival...but at least he's in prison for a long time(he had murdered others he robbed). Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #45 March 9, 2004 QuoteUnlike one of the other LO that post her, that loves to stay up all night. Oh well, I'll just spot her off on a free skydive, and shake the port-a-potty when she's in it again. WFFC. 2003. Nature called. I answered. Sitting there doin' my business when my whole world starts shaking. I can hear the sloshing of stuff I don't want to think about beneath me. I put my hands on the walls of the porta potty, hanging on for dear life. I think I remember begging whoever it was outside rocking my world to please not tip it all the way over. I hear raucous laughter and the shaking finally stops. You better believe that after that experience I checked all around me to be sure it was safe everytime I answered nature's call at WFFC. Yeah. You all think Mary is such a wonderful person. She's not. She's evil I tell you. Evil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
