Re: Tell me something interesting...

When I was about twelve years old I think I was about six feet two at the time, this little kid came up two me and said that I must be the rudest, most pompous axx he has ever seen. Sure fixed him, I got my big brother after him. Of course that was when I lived in Medford Or.8)

Re: Tell me something interesting...

About 10 years ago my wife and I were kayaking. We both "wiped out" in the same rapid. Neither one of us rolled so we both did a wet exit (ejected). She was several yards ahead of me as we were both being washed downstream. I saw her disappear under water next to a rock and was able to lodge myself on the upstream side of that rock. Her sprayskirt was stretched tightly over a rock and she was being held underwater by the swift current. After what seemed like forever I was able to get her loose.

If I'd not wiped out where I did, I'd have went on downstream in my kayak and there would be no way I could have seen her or even got to her.

Here in the PNW we have "red neck" weather stations.

We send the dog out, if he comes back wet, it's raining... If he don't come back, the wind is blowing...

Haven't seen that dog for 2 days, if he does come back I'll bet he's wet. 8)

My dog wouldn't even go out today. He gave me a look like "no, YOU go get the ball". :)

When I was 14 I fell out the window of a van, but a really nice Mailbox post caught me before I hit the ground . . .

Finally killed one of those pesky coyotes. Thanks to all those lost dogs above, they chased it right in front of me!8)

CBC,
Wondering what to do with those cats?
Make 'em "Sail-cats".

Throw them onto a very busy highway for a few days.
Then go pick 'em up & sail 'em like a Frisbee.

Re: Tell me something interesting...

I was also hit by lightening, hence my electrifying personality. :love:.

I was eating a corn puff and it had a piece of glass in it that got stuck in my tonsel and had to go to the ER and have it out. I called Frito Lay and they had to shut down operations at one of their plants.

I intentionally pushed myself off of a motorcycle going 65 MPH to avoid death or dismemberment.

I rolled a pick up truck over and over and over and came out of it with nothing more than a bruised ego.

I had drinks at a bar in Houston with Alan Sheperd, the astronaut.

Re: Tell me something interesting...

My 22 YO niece niece has been upside down in a pick-up she was driving twice . . . Once before she had a license :0 Neither time a scratch on her. Anybody have a pickup for sale? She's going for three.

My oldest was yanked out our boat when he was three by a loose tube up in the wind after he got tangled in the rope. We were underway . . . The shackle hook I had hooked to the transom failed. Luckily the rope came loose from him as I spun to go get him. I thought he had simply fallen out. One of those things that happened so fast and we got REALLY lucky.

If you hook a pickle up to a microwave transformer (about 1000 volts @ 1200 watts) it will light up like a light bulb. Dills work best. 8)

You can also hook up two wires to a neon sign transformer to make your own lightening, Called Jacobs ladder.. but what does this have to do with that burger?

Well, if you hook up that burger to that microwave transformer, you probably won't be able to eat it. :p

Re: Tell me something interesting...

As a kid on a Double Dog Dare I once ate a slug.
Later on in life I paid good money in Germany to do the same thing except they called it "Escargot"
Go figure..
I'm not so hungry now :0

As per menu..

"These are a full TEN OUNCES of charbroiled beef - 25% bigger than most hamburgers you'll get anywhere! DO NOT attempt to lift this burger with one hand without extensive strength conditioning. All selections are served on a toasted Kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, pickle and seasoned french fries."

Nuttin super special, Link... Justa good burger...d:)

For me the best is a beef on wick. Roast beef with lots of juice on a kimelwick roll and horseradish(those from WNY will know) Next week I will enjoy this!
