List three things that have happened to you or about you that no one here knows.

I'll go first:

1. When I was 3 I was kidnapped and members of organized crime offered to get me back

2. I'm adopted, twice.

3. I was crushed between two cars and the doctors thought I'd never walk again. Was wheelchair bound for three months. All I have now is a sore left knee (torn tendon)

That's pretty intsense. So you were kidnaped by crime-doers and then an oposing force of crime-doers offers to get you back?
How did you end up getting hit by 2 cars? I have a hard time getting hit by 1.

Guy kidnapped me and "the mob" offered to get me back. They were loosely associated with an uncle of mine. They were going to track the kidnapper down break into his car and put illegal substances in his trunk and make an anonymous tip.

A Lincoln Contenential and a jacked up truck both backed into me from opposite sides and squished me. Saw the Lincoln and was moving away when the truck hit me from behind. Never saw the truck. I was 11

What's your 3.

I pretty much share all the cool stuff that has ever happened to me with you guys. I'm serious. I tried to think back and for real, you all know everything.

Yeah as of the Robin Williams thread this pretty much describes me too. I think at this point I have probably dumped enough, if not too much, on this board. I do really appreciate all the positive responses I have received, and the good discussion around these topics, both with that thread an in the past on this forum. This makes a good sounding board and sometimes that it what you really need. But believe me, if I think of anything I will go ahead and post it.

I guess I can add that I was adopted as well, but only once. I have actually mentioned that in other posts before so I guess that isn't really new.

Honestly not even as close to as interesting as many of the stories I've read on here, I guess that's how I live my thrills. Through stories of others haha.

1)Ran away from home may times when I was young, like every day. It was more of adventures, just walk out the back door and explore like a cat would. Make friends with whoever, whenever. No cell phones back then, well not for the public so eventually I'd come home through the front door with a yardstick waiting for me

2) Dated a girl throughout highschool for a period of 4 years, first love. Was supposed to leave on an 2 yr LDS mission, that fell through because I started haveing sex... and a lot of it. Of course after that, it all fell through 1 week before my leave date. Girl goes to college orientation and meets some guy and cheats on me. 2 years and a kid later, she messages me on FB trying to reconnect. (While she is "happily married") You never feel the same after that, it's easy to love, hard to trust.

3) This one is the most recent, as of Sunday. Recently 2 months ago I had 1 of my 4 roomates move out, so we found a replacement which happened to be a girl cousin of another roomate, so we figured that was a pretty solid thing. You know, bring more girls around, clean our kitchen and stuff...
None of that happened,

Turns out she was an alcaholic! Lost her job within the 1st week of moving in, 2 weeks later got another, and lost that one in a week as well. Then just last Sunday, I get home from work about 3pm. We had a rager party the night before, so there was like half of a 1800ml bottle of tequila left, and half 900ml bottle of rum. They polished off both bottles in the morning before I got hom. completely ratchet.

My Roomate comes running inside screaming "YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE", and sure enough I open my garage door to see that the attic is on fire. So we evac the pets, call 911 and deal with the Fire department.
Come to find out the fire was started by a cigarette that wasn't properly doused. Gee thanks, you move into my house an not only can't pay rent for the two months you were here, but you burned down my house too.

It is safe to say a more rigorous screening process needs to be put in place?
 
I was one who discovers the mogli boy in Siberian Forest.

One time I blew up my neighbor house by filling balloons with dogfarts and taking to birfday party. Oops.

One time I get out of police KGB car by same thing. I call this fart the BKO.

Who said anything about them being cool?

In no particular order:

1: I launched a five gallon bucket full of my own, and my friends, **** and piss all over myself while trying to throw it on someone's front porch. My face, my hair, in my mouth, etc.

2: I have caught 29 species of fish in Utah on a fly rod.

3: I got accepted to BYU, but didn't attend.

Ewwwwwwww....... too vivid bro, too vivid.
 
1. A little over a year ago we took a trip to Hawaii with my parents. As we were getting off the plane I saw a guy standing in the jetway that looked really familiar. After a minute or to I realize it was Rob Schneider. I tell everyone and they're like "Yeah, okay, let's go get our rental car."

2. Few days later we were on the north shore and my wife wanted to stop at a farmers' market. While waiting in the car our oldest had to go to the bathroom so I took him in. While standing there I again see Rob Schneider. I take note of who he's with (a baby and a Latina woman) to see if it matches with his bio. Apparently he's married to some Latina newscaster and had a kid in the past couple years. Again tell everyone I saw Rob Schneider. By this point, they must think I've got an obsession with this obscure celebrity.

3. While at the airport, my dad jokes to me to keep an eye out for Rob Schneider. Didn't see him. While at baggage claim at LAX I see that ******* again. This time I turn around and grab my dad's attention. He realizes it was Rob Schneider all along.
