I had 3 fingers cut off in a hamburger grinder the day after I turned 18.

Restored a wild quail population to a 23,000 acre plantation. When I got there they were averaging 0.9 coveys per hour on hunts. When I left 3 years later, we were up to 4 coverys per hour. This past year they averaged 5.

I did research in Costa Rica on the abundance and diversity of bird species using habitat provided by gmelina plantations.

Just happened that we were in Rome on Easter for vacation in 1994. We were part of a tour group that was put together by the state dept, and we got to be inside St. Peter's during mass. There were about 2 million people outside from all over the world. The pope went out on the balcony and gave a greeting to everyone in attendance in over 20 different languages!

When we got in line at communion time it was the Pope's line! Shaky hands even back then...

I LOVED that place as a kid. I still remember watching my first shootout... I can remember the guy running down the street yelling, "Marshall Carter!" when he was gunned down. I remember clearly the sign flopping back and forth as one of the bad guys hit it with his hand as he walked by. That place was cool.

PS: I forgot to say, I've also stood on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. No flat beds went by. Actually, I felt kind of dumb so I got back on my motorcycle and headed on.

Heck, I had to attempt to block Reggie White in practice a few times at UT. Moral of the story: When the punt return team is practicing, try to get lost in the crowd when they are looking for a left tackle for the scout squad punting team.

I stole and hid Reggie's clothes one day at the showers after practice. He never knew it was me.

I've had to be rushed to the E.R. on both my birthday and my dad's birthday in the same year (when I was a child, so not alcohol related like the next one. . . )

Got locked out of my hotel room on the 14th floor of the Hawaiian Hilton on my honeymoon in Hawaii (while naked), wife was asleep (i.e., drunk off mai-tai's) and I couldn't wake her up to open the door. Note: there aren't many comfortable or feasible places to keep a room key when you are naked. Had to pee in a trash can.

Got to spend the first night of my honeymoon in the rental vehicle along the highway to Kanapaali Beach because the road was closed due to raging brush fires (there were about 100 other vehicles and people in the same predicament).

I hit a patch of ice doing 75 mph while receiving a certain unnamed act of love, spun around 4 times, almost hit a semi truck head on, and came within 20 feet of flying off the edge of an overpass. Got pulled out of the mud and kept driving.

Tried to outrun the cops by driving really fast while stoned out of my mind, when he stopped following me I realized I was only going 35 in a 35 zone. :D

Got into an uncontrolled downhill spin on ice and snow with some buddies in a rented minivan, came within 5 feet of flying off the edge of Keystone Mountain... backwards.

Had to bike for half an hour down Peak 9 mountain in Breckenridge during a hail storm after mountain biking above 10,000 feet for 8 hours, running out of food 3 hours ago, having no shelter, and having the temperature drop from 80 and sunny to 40 and raining/hailing in no time flat. I got to the bottom of the mountain, was shaking really bad, stumbled to an overhang on a roof, and curled up in the fetal position and shook until the storm was over.

I seen plenty of eye candy at the bottom of the Eiffel tower. I heard they don't allow anyone to go to the top anymore, if you remember that elevator that went at an angle to get to the top.

Same week, I was using the bathroom and a maid came in and told me that wasn't the toilet.:rolleyes: Imagine that, sure looked like a toilet to me.
Funny you should mention that, when I spent 6 months in Rome, the very first day in my flat I walked in the bathroom and thought "Awesome, I've got a urinal" that is until I flushed it. :eek:

97%...

I've done it too..

That's presuming that there are less than 200 people on here. Over 200, and we're in the 99% club.

During that trip, I got seriously overserved with Fuzzy Zoeller. Does that count for anything?

Nah. Lots of people get soused with Fuzzy. Now, if you woke up in a compromising situation with him the next morning, then you're in rare company.;)

Sorry daking, I'm with trust me on this one!:D Fuzzy got quite a rep going, but a good story though.

Pretty cool stuff guys but I think I have everyone beat.

Parachute Jumped for the summer between my Sophmore/Junior year in High School.

Bungee Jumped at the Bluegrass Fair.

Got shot through the head (one side to the other) when I was 14 with a .38 spl. 125 gr. hollow point on the 1st day of Spring Break. Spent 5 days in the hospital and went back to school the following Wednesday.

I am a little deaf in my right ear, but other than that I am okay. At least I think I am.:D

Man, I thought I had a good one when my brother shot me with a bow and arrow in the mouth and I walked away. You got shot with a .38 Definitely got me beat.

I've operated what was (not sure if it still is) the 3rd largest coal dragline in the world

Well to start I have lived over 62 years, that should cover a lot of the posters on here. Gone bear hunting several times north of the border with good luck. Won Bowhunter Nationals in my class IBO-MCA and won the next year in R/A. Seen my name in Archery World magazine more than once when I followed the IBO national triple crown shoots. Never ranked under the top 20 in all the years I shot for Martin Archery. Retired at age 54 and have took life easy since.

Got locked out of a parking garage in Nuremburg, Germany and hand to wonder the streets until 7am the next morning when the garage opened back up.
While on that same trip in Germany watched a German chick chase a ham and cheese omlet with a shot of whiskey at 5 in the mornin and ask for a marlboro light, break the filter off and smoke it like she's been doing it all her life.
And a few hours before being locked out of the parking garage and watching the whiskey chick went to a gentlemens establishment to watch some professional dancers and seen a beautiful tall asian girl with a nice set of lungs and treetrunk:confused: that would make a porn star proud. Needless to say we left before the song was over.

blew up a race ready 396 engine in a 69 chevelle on a two lane country road at 168 mph, then coasted for nearly 7 miles before rolling to a stop.


got dumped out of the bed of a moving pickup truck while heading down the road toward town and a carwash, where my "buddies" were going to hose the barf off of me. (long night of drinking and fishing) when they got there and discovered I was MIA, they backtracked till they found me lying on the edge of the road. (thank goodness it was a lightly traveled one) can't remember much about that night, but the next day I had road rash and embedded gravel over pretty much my entire body.

KYBOY has probably seen this a time or two, as have some of the others in my specific line of work -

I've watched people eat their own poop. Seen it smeared all over themselves. One guy even likes to put it in his empty eye socket.

Watched people drink their own urine.

I've seen coworkers covered in poop from a nice mixture of water, urine, and feces. Makes for a nasty time when they squirt it out of a shampoo bottle.

Didn't actually see this one, but fought the same guy the night before he did it. He decided he didn't really need that eye after all, and pulled it out while in the custody of our fine sheriff's department while in the court holdovers.

Sat in on a surgery of an inmate...he was having some type of intestinal blockage removed. Pretty cool.

I've patted down he/she's...that have implants, but are still "pre-op". I've listened to every single excuse for committing a crime you can think of. I work with people who have admitted to molesting kids from infant age up to their teens. I deal with the folks you see on TV every night. Chances are, if they've made the news in Louisville, I know them pretty well.

On the plus side of things -

I'm a Glock armorer, a Rem 870 armorer, a Colt M16/AR15 armorer, and was just certified on Pepperball launchers. I'm in charge of the SORT armory at work, and get to issue out fun things like Stingball grenades and flashbangs. Plus, I get paid to work on guns...good times.

Got shot through the head (one side to the other) when I was 14 with a .38 spl. 125 gr. hollow point on the 1st day of Spring Break. Spent 5 days in the hospital and went back to school the following Wednesday.

I am a little deaf in my right ear, but other than that I am okay. At least I think I am.:D

Well I had gotten a S&W model 15 for Christmas that year and this was the first day of Spring break in 1975, my Dad had let me bring the gun home to my Mom's for the week,my folks divorced in "74". Monday morning I walked across the street and got my best friend at the time up out of the bed at about 10:00 a.m. so we could go shooting. I took the bullets out of the gun and showed it to him and we decided to eat before we went shooting. He started making us a glass of Coke and while his back was to me I put the bullets back in and put it in the holster I was wearing and started to make some sandwiches. We had been reading this book called "Joey" the autobiography of a Hit Man for the Mob. In the book this guy describes his M.O. for shooting people, it amounted to standing an arms length away from the subject and placing the muzzle of the gun right against the head and shooting them twice. Well, my friend finished pouring the Cokes and turned around to set them on the table, I was still bent over making the sandwiches when I felt him pull the gun out of the holster. Now I knew just exactly what he was going to do.....don't ask me how but I did. Everything was in slow motion for me as I felt him pull the gun and stick it up next to my head and then BANG! I fell down with my eyes closed to my handsd and knees, I could feel the blood runnning down my arm and when I opened my eyes there was a huge puddle forming in front of me. Naturally he freaked out and was hollering and stuff and I knew I was hurt bad and I was afraid he was going to run out in panic and leave me. We were alone and I told him to call the Emergency Squad and then to put some presure on it to stop some of the bleeding. The Rescue came and I walked out to the truck for the ride to the Hospital. I thought I was going to die because I was getting tunnel vision real bad but I wasn't scared at all. Anyway they packed my nasal cavity with gauze and I think I would have rather been shot again rather than go through that. Slapped me in ICU and found out the bullet had passed clean through my head and came out the other side just under the back part of the ear lobe. It never hit any teeth or bone, went through the wall and cracked the TV screen in the other room. I stayed in the Hospital from Monday until Friday, my head was swollen like a basketball and I had some serious black eyes but I went home on Saturday. I milked it until Wednesday and then I went back to school. I can't hear so well out of my right ear but other than that nothing else is wrong with me. I had told the EMS guys that it was an accident and he did not mean to do it, so not to hold him on murder charges if I died. The guy that shot me was so affected by this that he quit shooting/hunting all together and gave all his guns away to his brother.`

And that's..............the rest of the story! Good day!;)

Drove Jimmy Carters Personal physician & NBC news crew through Henderson in July 80 during President Carters motorcade here. Also shook Jimmy Caters hand during the campaign of 76.

Appeared in March/April issue of Turkey Call magazine( Travel calls article, page 77).
I got my picture and an article of what hunting meant to me published in Turkey Call when I was 12, thanks for the reminder. :)

On a side note forgot to add the first day I had my new 2001 Z28 passed a GSP in the next lane going 150+ on I-16, never got pulled though.
Did get pulled over in SC in the same car going 110 in a 55 (workzone at that) by a 6'5" black state trooper that wasn't too impressed with
my rebel flag front plate, only got a warning.
Got pulled over on US 23 three days in a row by the same cop for speeding while in high school. Finally got a ticket the 3rd day.
Turned my own dad in for poaching. We still havent talked in 5 years.

Anyone else ever get escorted out of an Eddie Rabbit concert by security after scaling a 20" plank wall to get in? LOL! Dagnabit, I'd made it all the way into the 2nd row before anyone noticed that I didn't have a ticket!

On a totally different note, I was blessed to meet Mother Theresa back in the early 80's when she visited Eastern KY. I'm not a religious person at all (not Catholic, not Baptist, not any particular religion - just call me agnostic if you've gotta put a name to it) but just being in her presence was a life-changing experience. Only way I can describe it is to say that she literally radiated goodness... It simply took my breath away. I was there as a photographer for a newspaper & I was so blown away I only managed one small snapshot...

But back to what seems to be theme of everyone's escapades... How about driving a convertible at 120+mph down the BG Parkway while your best friend mooned passing cars?????

I just thought of some more.

I shook hands with Mohammed Ali and talked briefly. (although I really wasn't a fan, but I had to because my boss was watching and I was a rookie)

I've searched burning houses for victims , rappeled off of the Ironton-Russell bridge over the Ohio River, been up in a tower truck bucket, and cut people out of wrecked cars as a firefighter.

When I was a Park Ranger, I moved a dead skunk off of the main park road with a 10 foot pole, finding out later I should have used a 20 foot pole!:(

I worked at a vet's office and helped with operations and lab work.

I took a 5 minute ride in a hot air balloon which was 4 minutes and 55 seconds too long.

I caught a 5lb bass on a light fly rod while fishing for bluegills.

I caught several black tip sharks ( 3-4 footers) while wade fishing in the waters off St. Simon's Island in GA.

Last fall I caught some hammerheads in SC.

Like Post #77, I too have been in forced cell moves. (young man's game)

I became a father for the 1st time of 2 girls, one @ 42 years old and one @ 45 years old!

got shot through the head (one side to the other) when i was 14 with a .38 spl. 125 gr. Hollow point on the 1st day of spring break. Spent 5 days in the hospital and went back to school the following wednesday.

i am a little deaf in my right ear, but other than that i am okay. At least i think i am.:d

well i had gotten a s&w model 15 for christmas that year and this was the first day of spring break in 1975, my dad had let me bring the gun home to my mom's for the week,my folks divorced in "74". Monday morning i walked across the street and got my best friend at the time up out of the bed at about 10:00 a.m. So we could go shooting. I took the bullets out of the gun and showed it to him and we decided to eat before we went shooting. He started making us a glass of coke and while his back was to me i put the bullets back in and put it in the holster i was wearing and started to make some sandwiches. We had been reading this book called "joey" the autobiography of a hit man for the mob. In the book this guy describes his m.o. For shooting people, it amounted to standing an arms length away from the subject and placing the muzzle of the gun right against the head and shooting them twice. Well, my friend finished pouring the cokes and turned around to set them on the table, i was still bent over making the sandwiches when i felt him pull the gun out of the holster. Now i knew just exactly what he was going to do.....don't ask me how but i did. Everything was in slow motion for me as i felt him pull the gun and stick it up next to my head and then bang! I fell down with my eyes closed to my handsd and knees, i could feel the blood runnning down my arm and when i opened my eyes there was a huge puddle forming in front of me. Naturally he freaked out and was hollering and stuff and i knew i was hurt bad and i was afraid he was going to run out in panic and leave me. We were alone and i told him to call the emergency squad and then to put some presure on it to stop some of the bleeding. The rescue came and i walked out to the truck for the ride to the hospital. I thought i was going to die because i was getting tunnel vision real bad but i wasn't scared at all. Anyway they packed my nasal cavity with gauze and i think i would have rather been shot again rather than go through that. Slapped me in icu and found out the bullet had passed clean through my head and came out the other side just under the back part of the ear lobe. It never hit any teeth or bone, went through the wall and cracked the tv screen in the other room. I stayed in the hospital from monday until friday, my head was swollen like a basketball and i had some serious black eyes but i went home on saturday. I milked it until wednesday and then i went back to school. I can't hear so well out of my right ear but other than that nothing else is wrong with me. I had told the ems guys that it was an accident and he did not mean to do it, so not to hold him on murder charges if i died. The guy that shot me was so affected by this that he quit shooting/hunting all together and gave all his guns away to his brother.`

and that's..............the rest of the story! Good day!;)

I tackled a fat doe at turfway park, she kept running into the glass and had a bloody nose and was afraid she would kill herself. State vets came to the paddock and got her. They gave her a bunch of meds then released her at big bone state park. Pretty much got my azz kicked, but it was worth it. Saved a buch of lives had several CPR saves, cut a few people from cars. Pulled a few from burning buildings. Except the neighbor arcoss the street from me- fire was toooo hot and roof was coming in-so I bailed on that one. he didnt make it.
Marsha lee butler Trainer at turfway park was one of my cpr saves.
I rode the elevator with President Ford at turfway and 10-15 secret service. My moms brother was killed by a 15 foot bermise python that he caught wild in africa.

Man, does this one bring up some memories.

The absolute coolest thing was when I was blessed to be able to lead, assist actually, a young man to accept Jesus into his life. THis lad had been repeatedly raped and tortured in his childhood and was down deep. WHen the burden was lifted, what a change! Now, as a young man, he looks at me and talks to me with a sort of appreciation in his eyes. This bond is one way GOd has given me assurance that I have at least one friend on this old earth!

Cross Country State Champs, 1976.

I'm the only person I have ever heard of to draw seven walks in one softball game... ten walks in two games. I was 2 for 2 that night after twelve at bats! The pitcher wasn't really that bad, he just knew I wasn't going to swing and that got into his head. He tried to "place it" and that's a no-no.

I am the only guy to give up a home run to a "girl" at Wheeler Softball Park. The "girl" hit the first one by me so hard that I didn't see it go by my ear, I heard the whizz. Started backing up after the pitches then. Didn't matter. The "girl" was about 6'1" tall and about 220 lbs. none of it fat! She would be in the top twenty men of all time that I've seen hit a softball in twenty five years of playing.

Started a FOUR man triple play and got a moderately fast runner out at first base. This won't mean much unless you've played infield. People watching were quiet after that, kinda wondering how it was done so fast. We don't know and never even came close after that day.

I hit an eight inch "home run"! Actually, I almost missed the ball entirely, knocked it straight down into four inches of dust in front of the plate and proceeded all the way around on throwing errors! If only the catcher had held onto the ball huh???:D (I know, it wasn't actually a home run.)

Had a rabies series after being mauled by a cat.

Walked right up (three feet) to a huge black bear at the age of ten or so while in the smokies. This was only the second one that I'd ever seen. The FIRST one was TAME!!!
The second one was in the woods. GOD does indeed look after drunks and IDIOTS!

I used to "tame" snakes.

Caught and killed two coral snakes (I don't tame coral snakes) on two different nights at the same campsite in Florida. At night also. Didn't sleep well that week.

Unwittingly swam with sharks (I would have known sooner if they'd just come to the top instead of just bumping me) by trying to swim with some migrating Menhaden? shad? one September down in Myrtle Beach. Didn't know I was in a feeding frenzy! Heck, I wasn't even hungry!:D

As a child living in Cocoa Beach, I once saw one of the early Gemini's or Saturn rockets take off while on the beach with my dad, he says I crapped my pants and cried for hours. THem rockets be LOUD!!!

Living in the coastal areas of South Florida and Louisiana you are in harms way with Hurricanes. Alot of memories alot of pain...
These were Storms that were at least Cat 3 or above. Can't remember the named tropical storms

-Hurricane Cleo -South Florida- Sept ? 1964 Tore the roof off the house and lived with Church members for 2 months.

-Hurricane Betsy -South Florida- Sept 9-1965

-Hurricane Andrew- South Florida- Aug 24 1992
-South Louisiana- Aug 27 1992 est 20- miles from the eyewall center
Only storm to have experienced twice. Was on a business trip in Fla.
Spent the night in a car unable to get back to my home,praying.

-Hurricane Katrina-South Louisiana -Aug 24-2005-40 miles from the center eyewall and the
longest lasting approx 11- hrs of total hell on earth.

-Hurricane Rita- South Louisiana- Sept 24,2005 Worse rain maker with wind -had over 20"

-Hurricane Gustav-South Louisiana- Sept 1,2008 A "dry storm" with only 8-10" of rain
with a terrible tornado out break. Experienced the actual 'eye' of the
Storm

-Hurricane Ike South Louisiana Sept 13, 2008 A huge storm surge
that almost equalled Katrina.

Which storm was the worse? They all had bad qualities
Personally: #1 Gustav- Tied# 2 Katrina and Cleo #3 Andrew
In terms of overall devestation: Combo of Katrina and Rita.

Man, does this one bring up some memories.

The absolute coolest thing was when I was blessed to be able to lead, assist actually, a young man to accept Jesus into his life. THis lad had been repeatedly raped and tortured in his childhood and was down deep. WHen the burden was lifted, what a change! Now, as a young man, he looks at me and talks to me with a sort of appreciation in his eyes. This bond is one way GOd has given me assurance that I have at least one friend on this old earth!

Cross Country State Champs, 1976.

I'm the only person I have ever heard of to draw seven walks in one softball game... ten walks in two games. I was 2 for 2 that night after twelve at bats! The pitcher wasn't really that bad, he just knew I wasn't going to swing and that got into his head. He tried to "place it" and that's a no-no.

I am the only guy to give up a home run to a "girl" at Wheeler Softball Park. The "girl" hit the first one by me so hard that I didn't see it go by my ear, I heard the whizz. Started backing up after the pitches then. Didn't matter. The "girl" was about 6'1" tall and about 220 lbs. none of it fat! She would be in the top twenty men of all time that I've seen hit a softball in twenty five years of playing.

Started a FOUR man triple play and got a moderately fast runner out at first base. This won't mean much unless you've played infield. People watching were quiet after that, kinda wondering how it was done so fast. We don't know and never even came close after that day.

I hit an eight inch "home run"! Actually, I almost missed the ball entirely, knocked it straight down into four inches of dust in front of the plate and proceeded all the way around on throwing errors! If only the catcher had held onto the ball huh???:D (I know, it wasn't actually a home run.)

Had a rabies series after being mauled by a cat.

Walked right up (three feet) to a huge black bear at the age of ten or so while in the smokies. This was only the second one that I'd ever seen. The FIRST one was TAME!!!
The second one was in the woods. GOD does indeed look after drunks and IDIOTS!

Caught and killed two coral snakes (I don't tame coral snakes) on two different nights at the same campsite in Florida. At night also. Didn't sleep well that week.

Man, this forum has some tales to tell. No wonder there is some many different opinions on things, some of you really know how to live.;)

Got a few more.

CSS-I killed 12 doves with 13 shots a long time ago.

Caught a wild turkey gobbler with bare hands at Yellowbank WMA a few years back, it ran into a brush pile and got cornered. I took it and gave it to the area manager for observation.

Have cut and speared over a 1,000 sticks of tobacco in a days time. A REAL long time ago.

I've gotten to help Non-Typ track and recover a big Iowa Whitetail buck. TWICE!!

My buddy wanted me to post that he was at a NASCAR race that Jimmy Spencer won.:eek:
I was at the last winston cup race that darrel waltrip won. Darlington, around 91 or 92 I think. It was a rainout and although he had been running dead last all day, he stayed out under caution, took the lead, the clouds opened up and after leading just a lap or 2 the race was stopped and DW was declared the winner. The guy I was with would buy me a ticket everyyear so I would drive his drunk butt home. After the race, 2 yankees came walkin by with brand new DW shirts on and you could tell they had just bought them. They must have gotten a discount too cause they were 3 sizes too big. Well, I thought my buddy was gonna get into a fight when he started cussin em for bein "dum arse yankee's don't know nuttin bout nascar". I think they were scared half to death, they just got real white, turned around and said to each other, Was he talkin to us?"as they quickly walked away. We laughed about it all the way home.

I have 3 of em, the oldest being 8 the youngest 4. I swear, even as newborns, I can't remember much "quiet" time:D At least not deer stand quiet anyway. Big thumbs up for taking her so young though. My wife made me wait till my first one was 2 years old before I could take him to the woods with me. My little girl went with me the first time when she was almost 2 and my youngest went with me the first time when he was a little over a year old. At those ages, there was NO quiet.:rolleyes:

On a side note, I have read EVERY post so far.

We were leaving the Derby infield. We were all chemically challenged. Someone said "Look! Howard Cosell is in that limo."

I opened the rear door. I introduced myself to Humble Howard and extended my hand over the blonde seated next to him. He looked at me and asked me ""What the ?$#& do you want?" I told him "Howard, I'm your last fan in Louisville. If you screw with me, you're out in this town". He replied "what the &%$* do you want?" I tapped him on the chest on his press pass and said "I want your press pass". He looked at the limo driver, his squeeze and this large, overserved guy leaning into his limo looking like a crazed moron and thought for a moment. Then, he unpinned his press pass and handed it to me. I thanked him for his generosity and took his press credentials and left.

I still have them as a treasured memo of his appearance here. I'd have rather had the blonde.

What a great thread this is. C'mon fellas. You have even better stories!

Obviously they dont pay attn to the wall cause 3 days later i was back in the club!


I got banned in 06...apparently they dont like it when you're so drunk you miss the free stamp-in time, but decide its a good idea to draw your own...then proceed to tell the bouncers theyre full of it...then get literally thrown back through the doors..
