When I was little, I had a few neighborhood friends. We all liked to ride bicyces. We especially liked to chase down each other. One day, we were chasing each other through a church. Eddie was being chased, with Sandy in hot pursuit. I came in just behind her, with Eddie's little brother behind me. All of a sudden, Sandy's bike slammed into the pedal of Eddie's bike, crashing Eddie, and sending Sandy skidding across the pavement. I flanked left around the crash site, and Eddie's little brother flanked right. I turned inward to stop, but Eddie's brother was headed at me at full speed. I quickly stopped my bike, and he flew just inches in front of me like a bat out of hell, almost crashing into me! When the commotion dies down, we laughed our @$$es off! Sandy was unhurt, and so was Eddie.

I've got a lot of them! One time, I was going pretty fast down a hill, and all of a sudden, the entire deraileur system came apart while I was at high speed!

Not really. I could still steer the bike. It's just that I had no ability to accelerate. I had to walk it back up the hill and a few blocks back to my house.
There was another time where I was going pretty fast on Main St. My friend was ahead of me. All of a sudden, an SUV comes to a stop at the intersection right in front of me. My friend just manages to swerve away, but he blocks my escape path! I slam on the brakes, which aren't too good. I almost hit the SUV head on. I came within inches of sideswiping it, so I had to crash into my friend.
I was once a BMX racer. I one time attempted a jump that was pretty high. It's on the main course, so I always had to deal with it. I went at it at my maximum speed coming down from the top of a berm on a turn. I hit it, and flew! I lost control while in mid-jump, and crashed on the downslope of the jump.

What's the funniest thing you've ever done?

If you insist...
Last year (Dec. 2003), I was one of the participating guest choirs who sang at Walt Disney World's Epcot Candlelight Processional. In the rehearsal tent, Dr. John Sinclair, our conductor, was running us through some songs. On "Joy to the World", we were coming to the end of the song. All there was left to sing was "Love..Love...Love" (each dot represents one beat). He took us through "Love...Love...." and held it there. But me being the enlightened spirit I was at that moment, I kept on singing the last "Love"! Since the tent is a echo chamber, it reverberated throughout the entire tent like a frail little voice....
(P.S.- I also performed at 2 performances in the 2004 holiday season. Dec. 2nd and Dec. 20th. I never screwed up again!)

For each performance I do there, I get paid with 2 free Walt Disney World park tickets.
I was riding through my town one day. I was just cycling my time away, with nothing to do. I meet up with a friend in the area and we ride together. Just earlier, I showed him my rapid acceleration techinque. (Basically, you start off in 1st gear, 1st difficulty. When you take off, you shift to you maximum gear level. When you stabilize, you shift to your maximum difficulty level, and fly like a bat out of hell.) A few minutes later, these kids yell at us..."I bet that I can beat you in a race!" The guy who I was with says..."They've gotta be kidding us." I say..."Wanna take their pride away?" He replied..."Might as well!" We get into starting positions, and I find out that the challenger is a 2nd grader! My friend and I are in high school! They yell go, and I perform my rapid acceleration technique in a matter of 7 seconds. When I reached the finish, my friend was a ways back. The challenger was left in the dust! He was just starting to leave the starting positions.

Actually, the fool didn't quite give up after that. He still wanted to beat me! I raced him again and beat him again by a longshot. Every day, my cycling speed and skill increases. The guy didn't even stand a chance. A day later, I met the younger brother of the guy who I was with when I raced them the first time. He challenged me to a race. By the time I reached the finish about 1 1/2 blocks away from the start, he was halfway through the race course! I forewarned him that I beat his older brother. But, he was persistant. In fact, when he caught up to me at the finish, he said..."D@mn! You're pretty fast! I've never seen someone take off like that!"

Sounds alot like this kid who never seems to get the idea that I am a nearly unbeatable ace in terms of playing Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space. He took me on one day using an MS-14JG Gelgoog Jaeger, and I went up in the RX-78NT-1 Alex. We did a best of 3.
First, I came at him, and hacked away with my beam saber, jinking and rolling all the while, then I finished him with 3 blasts from the beam rifle, followed by a 4-second burst from the 90mm wrist mounted gatling cannons.
In Match #2, He tried coming straight at me (BIG mistake), so I boosted up, and literally split him down the middle with my beam saber.
He was like, "How the hell did you get so good?" My answer: "Lots of practice, skill, and I just have an instinctive feel of how to handle a Gundam in a simulation."

I can kick some serious @$$ in that game! My friends can't beat me unless they use a very powerful unit. (like the WZC, or the Physalis). I can beat the Physalis sometimes if I use the Alex, or the Stamen (RX-78GP03S). I one time beat the Burning Gundam using a Core Fighter! Actually, I beat it a few times before the guy figured my secret to beating him- hit and run tactics. The Core Fighter has pretty quick manuevering, so I can enter the "danger zone", fire a few rounds, then leave the combat zone. Then, I do it all over again!
Yeah, that kid's like that. Youthful arrogance....
That's why I'm there to try to teach a lesson.
