There’s a thread blog on the internet that is a couple hundred pages long about my sexual escapades for an entire year or so.

Detailed every date I went on with pics of the women, and how the date went. That sort of thing

I will never publicly or privately say where that thread is

Above average runner but not like Forest!

Found out since I posted that it was a minor case of default - Stanford Children's Health

I would have lived a normal life but might have had some structural complications down the road. I believe that Forest was likely supposed to have Clubfoot which is far more serious.

2 weeks after reporting to my first Navy duty station in Long Beach (aircraft carrier), I was put on an ammo work detail. We had to carry cases of live ammo from the ammo room to a bomb elevator. Someone neglected to replace a floor plate (around 18" square) in the elevator floor and as I was carrying the ammo case into the elevator my right foot slipped into the hole in the floor. I didn't want to drop the ammo because I was afraid it would explode because we were told to carry them carefully. So I held onto the case as I started to fall. I got slammed against the elevator door edge with my hand trapped between the ammo case and the door edge. The weight of the case dragged my hand down the edge and something ripped a wide gash in my hand, severing the middle finger tendon. I didn't feel any pain, but immediately saw a red spot on my shirt that got bigger and bigger. I slipped the sleeve up to see what the damage was and was greeted with blood squirting 6-8" in the air due to a vein that also got severed. I walked to sick bay pretty much on my own, where the on-duty doctor tried to put the severed tendon down my arm.....without giving me any pain killer. :eek: THAT hurt so bad I almost punched him in the face. He quickly gave up and I was transported to the Naval Hospital where the surgeon pulled/tied the severed tendon, repaired the severed vein, stitched up the gash, and put my hand in a cast to immobilize it. They gave me an unexpected special 2-week leave to fly back to Connecticut. What a crappy way to start my 2-year carrier tour. But I did get to spend two weeks back home, being pampered by my future wife.

To this day, I have limited use of the middle finger on my right hand. I literally cannot flip off someone with my right hand because the finger can't fully extend. It extends maybe 2". :(
Bob: What carrier were you on? I was on the Carl Vinson. CVN70.

When I was in undergrad school at Villanova in suburban Philadelphia I had a class with Angela Bruno whose father was a mobster. She was dropped off in a limo with a bodyguard every day and said bodyguard would accompany her to class. I felt bad for her. She was a cute gal who, understandably, no one would go near. She always looked so sad.

I have been within 1 mile of an F5 tornado, they are very very loud. I actually mistook it at first for continuous thunder. In reality, it was the noise of many houses being shredded off of their foundations.
I've heard it sounds like a freight train coming for your demise. True?

So I'm 18 and on one of those Contiki bus tours through Europe with my brothers. We are at this huge campsite in Munich, Germany and hanging with about 50 people from everywhere. Bonfire and a large keg of beer and things are great.

There's this impossibly beautiful girl. Long blond hair, slim with the most perfect pair I have ever witnessed. (Canadian, so that's not many.) Anyway, she's arguing with a dozen tourists from Israel about some political thing. They ask if anyone is from America and I say is Canada close enough? Yup. They ask something and I give my honest answer. They all laugh and the beauty pouts. I realize I guessed the wrong answer.

She comes walking slowly over and I'm transfixed. Honestly, she's more beautiful than anything I've ever seen. I'm kinda terrified. I think maybe she's going to apologize like Canadians would or maybe continue the debate.

She slowly pours her entire beer over my head, laughs a musical laugh. Well, all in fun, I figure, so I slowly pour my entire beer over her wonderful boobs. She's wearing one of those cheese cloth shirts that used to be so popular and it goes completely transparent. No bra and I'm flat out gawking!

She walks off and returns a short time later with a new shirt. She says, "Come with me."

I made what I now realize was a poor decision and followed her. She could have had a pile of her friends waiting in the dark, for all I knew. She was traveling with a singing and dance group from America but even so, with big enough numbers it could have gone poorly.

She led me to her tent and told me to wait outside. When she came out she handed me a handful of change. What??? Turns out they were shower tokens. She took me to the girls washroom and we ended up in the shower stall plugging the meter until the water cooled off. Halfway through the standup session three girls from my bus, school teachers from South Africa, came in and started bugging us. We know you're in there, John....What are you doing in there? and stuff like that.

Anyway, when we were done she handed me a business card like I'd never seen before. Just her name with her city and state (California). Nothing else. Told me no one ever would dare treat her like that at home and she liked it. I looked on the back and she had hand written her phone number.

When I got home weeks later I decided I had to call her up. You guessed it, the number was a total phony. So, in the end, SHE WON!

Pics or ban!

Nobody believes me when I tell this story, but I programmed Angry Birds before Angry Birds existed.

I started programming PC games in 2003, and I'd hand them out as freeware. One of them was a physics game where you launched snowballs with a slingshot to knock over Christmas-themed objects. The game tracked the snowball until it made contact, then added points based on the damage. Christmas trees, little Elves running along, even Santa was running around way out there. If the ball didn't have enough velocity, objects wouldn't topple. It was my version of an "elf bowling" game which was popular at the time.

Several years later, the first Angry Birds came out and it was eerily similar to what I had programmed. Had I just marketed and expanded on my version, damn I would be retired now.

Other trivia? Too much to mention. I'm like a slightly-less-retarded Forrest Gump. Some of the stories I have are seriously unbelievable, but completely true.

Ok, just some Cliff notes...... The Navy has been a big part of my life for 37 years, along with a few wives, many cars, GFs and pets. Retired 18 years and will be 72 in a few days. Life is good, still standing tall and having fun. I am very right of center, march to a very different drum beat and generally don't give a **** what people think of me or what I do. People I've come in contact with, seem to think I'm Skitzed. Whodathunkit?
