I got in a fight with Lance Armstrong, behind a 7-11, in Plano,TX. We went to Bowman Middle School, and one day he decided he wanted to fight me. We threw pussy punches for about 20 minutes, till some old lady broke us up..We swore to each other, that it was gonna finish the next day..we both forgot. Think I kicked him in the nuts..whoops!

Burning Man changed my life four years ago.

Literally.

I have had to fend off an angry mob that was outraged and afraid that I was going to eat their children.

That sounds so weird now, looking back, but it happened.

Something dont know about me?I only sleep 30 minutes at a time at most. for a total of 2 or three hours a day. I have diagnosed myself with OCD. So I am pretty versed in all of the late night shows, read an incredible amount, and am pretty productive.

I kind of suspect you're smarter than everyone I know put together.
You just don't get enough sleep.

If you ever figure out how to sleep enough to wake up, look out!

I was de-virginized by my cousin.

She was 19

I was 13

I would probably do her again, given the chance.

Re incognito artists
A lot of them are low key when they are out of uniform.
I see a lot of them at the burn blending in.

I have Johnny Winter's antique floor lamp.
We put on some good shows with him and Edgar.

I ran into a friend awhile back and I couldn't resist saying
Hey! Didn't you used to be ____ _____?
He said, "I still am."

We used to do parties so big we had our own bumper stickers
I did the pyro.

I am absolutely, uncontrollably terrified of Ren and Stimpy. I don't know why. There is no logic whatsoever behind this fear, but anytime I see that fucking cartoon I freak out. It's like an anxiety attack but not based in any real concrete fear. I've narrowed the thing that freaks me out down to the animation. I can hear the show and it just makes me a little uncomfortable, but if I see the animation I start to feel like I'm going to hyperventilate. I have no idea what caused this fear. I never had a bad experience while watching the show as a child (we didn't even have cable). Shows with similar animation styles make me moderately uncomfortable, but nothing like the freak-out I get from Ren and Stimpy.

I am fully aware that there is a camp that plays Ren and Stimpy cartoons. Thus far I have been fortunate enough not to run into them while the cartoons were going. I'll try and keep that record going this year

I failed drivers ed 2 years in a row after I scared the crap out of one of the instructors by going around a corner on two wheels, I was only following instructions. Just the way he gave them to me, Honest! the instructors (there were 3) did say that if we did not follow their instructions we would fail the class. So on that particular day when it as my turn to drive and the instructor said to take the next left I started to comply by moving into the left turn lane and slowing down. I did not comply the first time he told me I should be doing the speed limit (50). but when he told me the second time I complied and stared to accelerate again. It wasn't my fault that the whole time I was driving he was turned around talking to the two cute girls in the back seat and not really paying attention to, or watching where I was going. so I accelerated into the turn and went around that corner on two wheels. I almost rolled the car. I never saw anybody get that white before. I don't think it helped any when he asked me, after he got a little of his color back, "What in the hell I thought I was doing?" And I replied, "just following your instructions." And a little giggle came from the back seat.

He was never my road instructor again. and he failed me two years in a row. On the 3rd year I would come into class and just lay my head on the desk and sleep. I think the other two teachers might have found out the real reason he flunked me and ganged up on him, so I passed on the 3rd year. good thing too because by then I had been driving without a license for 2 years and I could not afford to take a commercial driving course.

Many years ago I worked at the health club at Harrah's Hotel in Reno. I gave massages to many celebraties. Among visitors was Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle).

While in the dry sauna, he poured oil onto the heating rocks and element. Well, the place started smoking up and I had to close the club down.

He was laughing hilariously, ... schmuck.

ibdave: Thank you for pointing out my error.

Simon Of The Playa (SOP?): My apologies for dissing you like that. It was one of my first posts here and I got confused and so much was going on and I was having a difficult time navigating to begin with and things just didn't seem right and I was distracted by mockingbirds outside my window and the whole thing was just a terrible, terrible misunderstanding.

I also remember now that one time, and it seems one time only, they let the film run at the end of the show to where you turned the corner to out of sight before they cut away to commercial. My dad made a to-do about that.

My dad is really weird. I didn't stand a chance.

Years ago I went to jail several times for street racing in my old 1970 GTO. Met crazy people there that had great stories about why they were there, and overall had a fairly fun time.
One poor sap had broken into a house. It turned out to be a cop's house. And it turned out he was home at the time.

This is true. I had a squad of Soviet troops level their Kalashnikov's at me and my buds in Siberia....Greenpeace thing......

Hey, btw folks did any of you ever consider the possibility if we were captured by some foreign power and our relatives or friends had to validate the secret question, and some of these "what we don't know about you questions" came up....we'd be dead right?

For my birthday 4 years ago, I researched, planned, put together a will, and then participated in a 2-hour session with a dominatrix back in the hills above Hollywood, where she could have easily killed me on video or something and no one would have known. She stripped me naked, took away all my choices, tied me up to the point where I could only move my eyelashes, scared me to death (after the blindfold, the gag was my breaking point), and slowly built up the trust to a point where I had a special connection with her by the time it was over.

I came out of it with a new appreciation for life. I suggest everyone give up absolute control for even the smallest period of time... You will come out a stronger person...
