I once kicked a gooney bird on Midway Island. Maybe more than once. It was "against the law" in those days (~1975). They can really be annoying!

I could have written that I totalled my Honda Nighthawk on I-66 when I hit a truck muffler in morning rush hour traffic. Or that I totalled my first '70 Torino Cobra when the throttle stuck and then the tranny went into reverse instead of nuetral, resulting in a 180 degrees spin, hitting a tree going backwards at about 60 mph. I walked away from both.

Almost forgot... I've climbed to the summit of Mt. Fuji in Japan.

<note to self> never ride in a vehicle with Etlsport...

I never date guys under 40 either,, then again probably cuzz I'm over 40 :-)

I've been thru 2 volcanos,, Mt. St. Helens in Wa. state and Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines. Lived on the military base in Subic Bay, was evacuated out of the 2' and more ash and devastation by ship to Cebu Philippines, then to Guam, then Hawaii to San Fran then home state of Wa. Was a miserable 8 days of travel with two small kids. We were sent back to Subic Bay a month later. Nothing like tons of ash in 104 degree weather..... ahhh those were the days.

HAHA! etlsport, that is at least the 2nd time someone has made that "note to self" after you explained your 'skills' in surviving accidents.

[etlsport]

I've lead a pretty tame life, I guess... I've been in some fairly rough spots but everything worked out. Been to Russia twice (for a total of about 6 weeks - For a short time when It was mostly O.K. to tell about God in their Schools!!!) - Got followed by KGB folks... , and Mexico 5 or 6 times (a week at a time, building houses for poor families with approx 50 highschoolers on big convoys down and back). I've made several 2hour videos of our trips to build houses. A few years ago I had death threats made on me & several friends, by some freak woman and found the cops caused ME way more hassles than I could ever have imagined for over a year (Never believe the cops and courts are there to help YOU). Oh, and long ago we took my friend out for his bachelor party. It was about 1:00am and we stopped to get gas, there were 4 of us from 4 different states and totally behaving ourselves. About 10 minutes after leaving the station we got pulled over by 4 cop cars that cut us off at all for corners of the car and forced us off to the side of the road. With Guns out and lots of spotlights and such... Dragged my buddy out of the car and were searching him... Eventually the cop at my window asked us what we did. I told him "you're the one that pulled us over, I dunnow???" She said said "I'll go find out", so when she returned she said we had just robbed the gas station! We send our buddy in with a $20 to buy $10 worth of gas and he returned with $10. I think the attendant pocked the money and called it in. They made us pay again and said they hoped we learned our lesson!!!! What was that all about? Anyway That's a party to remember!!!!
Ha, even a boring guy can have a little excitement!

Something like that happened to me once in college. I was driving my old white 79 Chevy Malibu with a bunch of friends in the car. I was Ybor City in Tampa and was just about to get on the highway and head back to campus, when a cop pulled me over into an empty parking lot. It was like a movie, within seconds my vehicle was completely surrounded by about 6-7 squad cars, all of them with weapons drawn, screaming to "lemmi see some hands". Us kids all about shat our pants as we pasted our hands to the ceiling of the car. With a pistol in my face a cop came up to the window and I slowly gave him my ID. He handed it off to another cop as we sat there, terrified. A few minutes later, the cop came back and handed me my ID. He said, "sorry, you're the wrong guy". And just as fast as they surrounded us, they were gone. I'll never forget that. And in my short 31 years of existence, I have never been pulled over more, then when I had my ol' Chevy Malibu. I guess "white boxy car" fits the description for 90% of crimes committed just about everywhere.
