i fuckin love seal.
I just skydived back in Oct (avatar). That was a long time goal.
I was stabbed to death about 11 years ago. Stabbed 7 times and died on the OR table for about 45 seconds. I don’t recommend that.
Placed 3rd (team) in the LEOPARD challenge the only time, that I know of, that it was held in Canada. It’s the law enforcement equivalent to the fireman’s challenge.
I want to fly a helicopter, hang glide, scuba dive and see more of Europe and the world.
Oh, I ate a scorpion once.
I want to play the motorboat with OctoberGirl’s breasts

Tasty?
A few things I’ve done:
Smoked hash on top of the Tower of Pisa, in Persepolis, in the Akropolis on the broken pillar on the right as you’re looking up from Athens, in the Colosseum, on Ben Nevis, and a few other places. Chewed Khat in Djibouti. Smoked Opium in Thailand.
Bet on cockfights in Haiti, Brazil, and Columbia.
Climbed the Exum Ridge with some friends. God enjoys the view.
Built my first Harley from a basketcase when I was 15. I got some advice but did all the wrenching.
Raced flattrack. Raced in Rocket Runs in Arkansas, Texas, and Mississippi.
Noodled for catfish in Bayou Bartholomew.
Drew inside(the 10) and outside(the 8) to a queen high straight spade flush in five card draw, nothing wild, for a $700 pot but $3000 in side bets. Beat 4 sevens. If all you’ve played is Texas Hold’em you wouldn’t understand.
Became a Shellback.
Transited the Suez and Panama canals.
Drank the best beer in the world, SeyBrew, in Mahe Seychelles while sitting on the beach watching shooting stars over the Indian Ocean. God enjoys the view.
Rode with Gamewardens in Kenya for 4 days.
Highland Games in Dunoon twice.
Had the honor of being invited to and attending a Burns Supper. Yes, I ate the Hagis. It was one that ran left.
Drunk and high on the banks of Loch Ness at night calling to Nessie and having the shit scared out of me by a sneaky buttsniffing dog.
Went to the 2nd Monsters of Rock at Donnington Park.
Seen the Trulli Houses in Apulia, Italy.
Took a “cherry” to the campfire girls in the “Gut” on the hill side of Via Roma in Naples, Italy.
Eaten homemade Kalaloo and pate in the Virgin Islands.
Walked the Gurdon railroad tracks and seen the lights.
Heard noises at the Water Tower in Glasgow.
Want to do:
Go to Wacken Open Air
Do a tour of all the shops on “Sandwiches That You Will Like”
Take a year and just travel to different places listed here. Shadowlands Haunted Places Index
Visit Avebury or Stonehenge on a solstice.
Be a guest judge at the World Championship Chili Cookoff.
Write a book. Not the “Great American Novel” but finish one of my ideas that I’ve been working on.
Get Bruce Campbell to make another “Evil Dead” movie and get to be in it.
Find and restore a basketcase 1961 Bonneville like the one in the picture.

North Norway Land Command /Infantry School out of Harstad? The Advanced Winter Warfare Course? Also did two Adventure Express exercises up there. Norway was awesome; the AWW sucked balls though!
I was in Harstad also. I must have done the basic Winter Warfare course since mine was only 11 days. I participated in a large Nato exercise for 6 weeks on a separate trip. Spent time in Tromso, Bjerkvic, Trondheim, Bergen…basically travelled most of the west side of that country from North to South.
cool things ive done:
posted on T-Nation
roller skated 85 miles an hour, uphill.
