i was 12 yrs. old, living in NYC and learning how to ride a unicycle.

i would go about 5 feet, then grab a car, then go 10 feet, then grab (or fall into) another car and so on...

finally, i could almost go a whole block, when a man came over and said "Hey Kid, (they always say hey kid) if you can ride that unicycle all the way to the corner, i'll put you on tv"

and i did....and he did...

Simon, very cool.... Do or have you found it on YouTube yet??

No shit Simon? That little fucker is you?!?

Closest I have to any kind of fame is when I did a series of magazine advertisements for a freestyle bicycle company back in the 80s. They posed us on closed streets for hours on end for NO pay (their reasoning was that it was a privilege to be in a magazine at all. Of course, today they couldnt get away with that because they'd have to pay royalties. We didn't really care, it was fun.

**shuffling feet**

**looks down**

allright......i bet my mom would upload it, but it will take some tech assistance i'm sure...vhs to you tube....we are talking about shifting whole paradigms here..

and i'll never hear the end of it.....

for some reason, my father cherishes his autographed picture of me and vanna (a trade convention....vegas....dont ask) and perhaps i could get him to scan it.....i'm 6'5 and she looks like a pregnant midget.

no joke.

on a side note....since the future of funerals and cemetaries are on-line, my video DeadStone (tm) will defiinately have that video as one, if not the only of my accomplishments...not to mention my "hey, i never told you this, but now that i'm dead i think you're a....." video.

The last time I was on an international flight I drew shark fins and dismembered passengers in the water on the "water landing" picture of the seat back safety cards around me.

Lothos is my ride to the playa this year.
heheheh.

In case someone knew that, my mother's nickname for me and my little sister was "The Putschies." Many years later I asked and she agreed that "Munich Beer Hall" might have been in there somewhere.

- I have an insane fear of doctors.
- I got kicked out of Key West Florida after living on the beach for a month.
- I sang in the local methodist church choir until I was 12.
- I dropped out of high school at 16.
- I used to smoke up in front of the local police station (far far away from where I am now) when i was a teenager.
- I broke my ankle and walked around on it for a day and had the pain tolerence to think it was only a sprain.
- I am not sure how many people I have slept with. Every time I try to count them the numbers change ;)

I can smash my hand on a table with my fist without getting hurt. Trick is to keep your hand semi cupped

I received a federal grant to help control the non-indigenous fauna growing on Haleakala on the Big Island in Hawaii.
I saw near-extinct flowers and plants, and without each other they would no longer be.
The bird would have a specific shaped beak to fit the same shaped flower bud.

I'm a biodiesel whacko. I've been running B20 in my 03 TDI Jetta for close to a year and have'nt had to change the fuel filter yet and still get between 42 and 53mpg.

I am a left dresser. Hooray for our kind, to Hell with the right dressers.

With my tongue I can touch my left tonsils but not my right. But I am working on it.

You asked.

I love deep fried hot dogs with deep fried corn on the cob with butter and a dash of soul food seasoning. It's almost impossible for me to a hot dog any other way

When I was a baby I was amazing at putting together jigsaw puzzles. No, I do not remember it myself. Many people watched me over time & some have told me how amazing it was. Most of them are dead now. That's it, my claim to shame.

To ibdave: That is so f-ing cool. Every Thursday night my dad & I would watch Kotter 2gthr. My mom had bowling league night on Thursdays, so it was dad & I home alone. I was 36 then. No, no, jk. The thing is, we would watch the end credits every week just to see how far the unicyclist could go before they cut away. Nice to sort of, kind of, not really, meet you.

To Madmatt: I swear to Dog, we have uncanny similar names, but we are not the same person. Are we? My cock leans left abnormally also. Very peculiar. Or is it? Maybe someday I will prove it to you all. But don't get your hopes up. On the other paw, I did go naked at Bay 2 Breakers for a bit this year, so who knows. I was mauled by women more than once. What is wrong with you women? I thought you could smell a gay guy like 6 blocks away? So much for intuition.
