Mine is not documented in any way, security drill on a sub. Lets just say the CO ended the drill early, and told everyone involved that it never happened. Its amazing what can be with a little planning and knowing the "weak" spots and who to recruit to go after those weak spots. I will leave it as if it was real there would have been a nuke weapon sitting on the bottom of the ocean, and thats not supposed to be able to be done.

I dont have anything cool.
Closest I have is being on state wide TV after a bad semi accident in 96. On a side note, I've never once wanted fame. Quite the opposite actually. |

Quoted: Laurel Canyon 1972 Our trio band visited the Canyon home of DOORS producer, Paul Rothchild, and auditioned for him. He likee our original music and asked us to bring him a full band. After two days and three nights of a bat food binge, I realized the lifestyle would kill me. Quit the band, called a cab, took AmTrak back home south from Los Angeles and gave up the idea of ever being a rock star. Ok, it was more than 15 minutes, but not by much. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/183309/rothschild-morrison-3200896.jpg What on earth is a Bat food bing? Did any of the band make it? Was the original music yours, or another band member. |

Pinned the stud of the visiting wrestling team who was pegged to go to State and they announced it over the P.A. in homeroom.
Pretty sure no one knew who I was and if they did, that I was even on the team. I wanted to crawl in a hole. |

 I'm the second guy in that picture. The guy who wrote the book wasn't even in theatre when the picture was taken. They just pulled a stock photo. Got on the air with Clay Travis' national radio show Outkick. He had a question that I was qualified to answer. |

When I was in radio, I did a little game show on a local TV station.
I would come one (pre-recorded) before Jeopardy (just after wheel of fortune--around 4:30 pm) and give a Jeopardy category. Then after the 10PM news, I would come on live and pick someone to call from entrants. Call them and ask them a question from that category. When they answered, I spun a wheel to find out what the won. My 15 minutes of fame. |

I was at a spring training baseball game in a large stadium for a company event. I spent a lot of time in the field, so most of the company peeps did not know me. I wore a Hawaiian shirt and many of the company peeps thought I was one of the millionaire owner/partners. And then the stadium announcer welcomed my wife and myself to the stadium over the intercoms.
  The announcer was a coworker at the wife's company. Nobody was ever the wiser. |

We all three continued to play professionally for decades, but no big record deal. All three of us wrote original stuff. It's "binge", not "bing". And they only came out at night.  Wasn't my thing. Ended up hating it  |

My question was “my girlfriend and I keep trying to have sex, but it really hurts her, do you have any suggestions on what we can do?” At the time I didn’t realize my scchlong was overly thick LOL….. One of my classmates recognized my voice (even though I used a fake name) and spread it around highschool. |

I was killed by a shark in Sharknado 2: The Second One but that was barely 5 seconds.
For a 12 year period I covered boxing, MMA, kickboxing and Pankration from amateur fights to Professional level (UFC, Strikeforce, Shark Fights, WBA, etc.) as a sports writer and I've been seen cage side and ringside on PPV, HBO, Showtime, ESPN, Univision and Telemundo. Oh and in the background of an episode of 17 and Pregnant at the local MMA gym. All those added up probably equals 15 minutes. I've been writing for Recoil magazine for 12 years and about 20 other firearm, knife and MA magazines since 2005. I'm only famous for that at industry events. |

Went with a church group tour to DC, and was sitting (alone at the time) soaking in the National Cathedral when one of the Episcopal priests sat down, told me they were an altar boy short and asked if I'd I like to serve.
I think I was 14, it was the Easter service and there were thousands of people in attendance. A couple of years later I went back to DC as a high school student for the Georgetown University Model United Nations. I didn't know it at the time, but as the head delegate for Peru I was tapped to give the welcome address on behalf of South America to about 2,000 people in the main ballroom of the hotel. I've never feared public speaking since. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: On what tires, pray tell? If I remember correctly, the only thing I could find that had a high enough speed rating and would fit on a 15" wheel were some Yokohama's. I ran the 120mph class which allowed for speeds up to 140mph. The BF Goodrich T/As weren't going to cut it. Tech inspection was very big on tires. Speed ratings, load ratings, and no tires over a certain age. |

Not really fame but a few years later I could have had it (not that I really wanted it or what transpired) but I was sexually 'assaulted' by Merv Griffin on National Television. Unfortunately at the time it wasn't illegal but it definitely upset and shocked me.

I was in a summer stock play at 2 years old. I played a baby in Porgy and Bess. In blackface, because, they didn't have anyone else. They squirted my diaper with a squirt gun from offstage, and I started crying. Needless to say, after they found out who I was, I was blacklisted.
I was on the front page if the Miami Herald in a protest march against forced bussing and integration. I got to carry an American flag across the highway. Circa 1970, I would guess. I did get a chance to do a police training film at 15. I played a hippie protestor, and, they gassed me. I then did a radio commercial for Propa PH, an anti acne medication. It was a contest, and me and a guy named Billy won first place and got a jukebox for our school. My dad actually had a TV show when I was a kid. I became a loser. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's incredibly impressive. I did 40.5 miles in 10:51 and I felt like I was going to be crippled afterwards. And I only had an 8lb pack. I was definitely at my peak and set out to win that event. I carried enough water (two 85oz bladders) to where I wouldn't have to stop along the way. Though I did stop a couple times to pee on random foliage. My pack weighed in around 45lbs and then I kept a handgun, backup battery, phone and a few others things in my chest rig. This was the weight at finish.  Attached FileWhen I got done we hopped in the car and drove 10 hours to the lake where I water skied that night. I don't think I could pull that off today. |
