"Opening up a Little" or, show a little

Zeus, you're thinkin' my waves! RE: vxDakineChicvx that my wife would be relieved as I visit 40 this year, so am out of the running there. Plus I'm still working on the "Grizzled old Sea Dog" look. LOL!

I too was hit in by a car doing high speed after school, but in my case it was on my bike riding home and swerved into street to avoid obstacle. BAM! (Followed shortly thereafter by "Thud!") Cops responded and didn't call ambulance as I was lucid enough to worry about getting home in time to catch Star Trek. Don't remember much after that except waking up in hospital a day or so later. I eventually got my revenge by t-boning a Fiero (totalling it) with a GPz550 and arcing high enough over that I didn't slide upon reconnecting with the planet 60 feet on the other side of the car. I'd give good money for a video of that!

So I think you explained 2 of your concussions then! Did you pose yourself like Superman when you were flying? I would love to see that! Out of curiousity, do you recall what episode of Star Trek was worth that incident? Tell me it was the Tribbles... Gotta love the Tribbles!

LOL, definitely not Superman! As I went over the Fiero my knees hit with such force it knocked my Gaerne boots clean off and set me spinning, but I did land flat on my back. Next thing I remember some guy was opening my helmet visor and asking if I was okay. My bike was stuck in the side of the Fiero, still running as I hit neutral down-shifting as I hit the car.

The bicycle/car/Star Trek scene: Don't know which episode, never got to see it! Tribbles woulda been okay, but I'm more of a "Balance of Terror" fan. Especially if "The Enemy Below" is on the same day!

Hmmm, where to start....

At 17, I was arrested under suspicion of "kidnapping". I apparently went to a party and left with some girl that I have never met. She disappeared for a few weeks and I was questioned multiple times afterwards. Someone at the party said I was there and left with her, even though I was actually at home with my parents that night (parents make poor witnesses when you are in trouble, even if you actually were home with them). I was finally arrested since apparently the only proof you need is some other 17 year old girl saying she saw you do something that you didnt. 2 days later, the girl turned up (she had lied to her parents and went to Florida with friends). After I was released, the runaway and the lying witness (some girl whom I apparently went to school with but never actually knew) were both brought to my home by police to apologise.

At 19, I was sued by an elderly man for giving him CPR (I was trained, but not certified) and "saving his life". One day on a lunch break when I was a fire sprinkler tech, I saw an old guy collapse on a tennis court so I ran over to help. This cat was DEAD. Within a minute, I brought him back. I managed to crack one of his ribs in the process, but a small price to pay for staying alive. I ended up paying his medical (dont you love this system?!). The EMTs that arrived on the scene that day said I did everything right and were witnesses for me in litigation. They stated "old people are frail and tend to "snap", haha.

At 22, and friend and I were arrested on charges of "attempted murder". We were jumped at a party and defended ourselves.... quite well I must say (we were both boxers for many years.... these poor rich suburban punks had no idea). My friend managed to break a bottle over someone's head during the brawl and it cut the guy pretty good on the side of his neck. We were arrested later that night because apparentl someone told the police that we had gone to that party with the intent on killing that guy (we actually know 3 people at that party and only went because one of them was a girl that invited me). After dragging this out for months and months of no witness reports matching, the apparent murder target being in and out of jail with a rap sheet 18 miles long and a track record of lying and violence, and simply no damned proof of anything, charges slowly went from attempted murder down to assault with intent to maim, down to reckless endangerment. Settled with 6 months PBJ and 80 hours community service. When it all went to court, the "victim" could not appear because he was currently in jail for assaulting someone in a Chilis restaraunt, heh.

Damn, I could go on and on....

And once again, you have proven that you have a perpetual dark rain cloud above your head, and I thought it was just bad luck with cars!!! Man, you must have wronged whatever god you believe in something fierce in a past life or something, jeez!
