What's a cool little quirk you have going for you? I'll start. I'm 31 and (knock on wood) I've never had to get prescription medication before. At least not since I've been old enough to actually remember it.

What's a fun fact that'll get you a "wow, seriously tho?" in a bar conversation?

Not really about me, but one of my favorite facts (about my dad)  
odunde : 11/3/2016 5:10 pm : link
Sometime in the (i think) very late 60s or early 70s my dad was at a concert in LA. He saw a big crowd, and walked over to check it out. Turns out it was Muhammad Ali signing autographs. So my dad gets to the front of the crowd, but doesn't have any paper for Ali to sign. He quickly looks through his wallet and, without really thinking about it, hands his draft card to Ali. Ali looks at it, looks at my dad to see if he is fucking with him, then signs it and hands it back. My dad has since passed this awesome little artifact on to me.

I'm nearly the same although I have gotten sick. But anytime I got sick i was composed enough to walk to some private corner of the world where I could be alone. I can drink like a champ never got black out drunk or messy where I didn't remember shit the next day. I know many people who boast that they can drink a ton but they lose control or get so shot out they black out. To me that's not an impressive drinker. Show me the cat that can act sober despite being soaking wet.

I got nothing else sorry.

The details of my life  
LakeGeorgeGiant : 11/3/2016 6:25 pm : link
are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin?

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery.

My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really.

I am a retired drummer. Still can play a good Crazy Army, though. Played as a youth with the Morris County Militia, Chatham NJ, around from 1969-1981, then disbanded.

djm : 11/3/2016 8:45 pm : link
I once went bowling up by the palisades mall and who was bowling in the lane directly next to us but Brandon Jacobs. It was the offseason leading up to the 2011 season where the NFL lockout loomed. I usually have nothing good or worthy to say when I meet a celebrity or star athlete but tonight was not one of those instances. I was ready. I didn't want to be a pain and bother him plus he was getting hit with a lot of fly by people so I figured I'd catch him quick and move on. I caught him real quick and just said I'm a big fan and more wished him good luck on the season and more importantly I hope the players union delivers you guys a better cba than last time because you deserve as much money as you can get. We shook hands he said thanks and that was that.

They record the speed of your throw when you bowl. I bowled a faster speed than Jacobs. Amazing.

Wow, you have stirred up my fife and drum corps fervor. Brian was younger than I when he joined the corps. Turned into a fine, fine, drummer. Great family too. And when you say 'Duke', us drummers all know. He was our teacher all my years there. Loved that guy. He lived to drum and make music. I have a picture when I played banjo for him at a 4th of July picnic. Had him autograph it later. He immediately thought of my banjo parts and how he could incorporate them into drumming. Thanks for mentioning Duke. I'll send you the pic.

Neckbone1333 : 11/4/2016 5:59 am : link
Pissed and had a conversation 2 separate times, on 2 separate nights next to Derek Jeter at Club NV

Shared some fun party favors with Eric Dorsey at Club System

Worked a party for the Yankees in the VIP lounge, at the China Club, after the 1998 World Series win. Their bar tab was about $22K and a David Wells paid the bill and tipped the waitress $3K. She came over to me crying with happiness because she could pay her student loan off.

Sat next to actor, Roberto Begnini, in the VIP lounge at Club NV while he was hooking up with 2 chicks at the same time

Partied with Ralph Cirrella (Howard Stern's friend) and 4 dancers, in the VIP lounge at Club NV, and can assure you he is not even close to gay

Not in a club, but played blackjack next to Kurt Russell at the Atlantis, when I was 18 years old (now 40). We were very banged up and both yelling at the dealer because he sucked. Then Kate Hudson, who was about my age, and not really famous, came over to get him.

Have to have actor Tommy Davidson kicked out of the Soundfactory for grabbing a girl on the dance floor

It was a fun time in the late 90's and early 2000's

Among the attendees were Richard Todd, Robert Brazile, and Ken Stabler. He was friends with Todd and Brazile because they all played high school football against each other growing up in Mobile, and Stabler was from the area too although a bit older than the others.

The furthest back I can trace my family tree in America goes back to 1610. John Proctor sailed on the Sea Venture in June 1609 as part of the third supply mission to Jamestown. The ship was badly damaged in a storm and sank right off the coast of a then-uninhabited island, Bermuda. The survivors of the wreck landed on Bermuda, spending the next 10 months there building two new ships from what they could salvage from the Sea Venture and from lumber they cut down in Bermuda. They sailed successfully to Jamestown in May 1610. The story of the Sea Venture was Shakespeare's inspiration for The Tempest.

mavric : 11/4/2016 9:36 am : link
I put together a very extensive chemistry set in the attic. I had a bench that was about 12 feet long and shelves over the bench. I had a Bunsen burner and collected flasks, bottles, tubes, and of course all kinds of chemicals (nothing like a kid's typical chemistry set that comes in a box). Back in those days, you could buy some very interesting chemicals at the local drug store by talking with the owner who would order them plus he could get flasks, tubes, etc. Anyway, I created an experiment (I won't divulge the chemicals on here) that would create an endothermic reaction. I had done it before and it worked like a charm and a kid from the neighborhood was visiting and wanted me to show him. After mixing the chemicals, it didn't work. I said, "must be the chemicals are dead" (remember, I was only 12). My mother called and said it was time for dinner. We sat around the table as my father said a blessing when a huge explosion went off upstairs knocking the kitchen ceiling down on top of us. House burned to the ground. I never messed with chemicals again

I managed to get my father arrested in Philadelphia once.

Back in 1999, I went up to Philly to visit a buddy of mine who was going to school at Temple. He told me to park in the alley behind his building - "People do it all the time, no one ever gets a ticket" So, of course, I got a ticket. Pfffft - how often am I going to be in Philly? I was just about to move to California for my first "real" job. I tossed it in the trash.

Problem was, I had borrowed my dad's car to go up because mine needed some work. About five years later, my dad was in Philly for work, was pulled over for speeding, and got an unpleasant surprise. There was a warrant for his arrest for an unpaid ticket. He was less than pleased with me, and I ended up having to pay him back something like $1500.

We were backstage and pass this mountain of a man. We didn't recognize him, but knew he was an athlete. He ends up sitting behind us; LA Raiders OT Henry Lawrence.

If you listened you could hear a JPP chant erupt in that same voiced chant of the Go Pack Go one minutes earlier.

when I first joined the force, there had been a warrant for this guy for about 5 yrs for an unpaid parking ticket. There had been many attempts to finds this guy, but to no avail.

I, to make a name for myself in dept., took it upon it myself every chance I had to search for this guy. Finally, one day I was on patrol and saw this car speed on by at high speeds. On the bumper of car was a bumper sticker "VT..GO HOAKIES!"

I pulled the car over, and ...vola!...it was him. He later said his son must've got the ticket while visiting a friend and threw it out. He said, his son was a big Hoakie fan and was probably in a rush to catch the game in Blacksburg.



What? Micky, are you ok?
