McDuck 0 #1 January 23, 2007 I got in touch with some old friends of mine from high school back in CA, and they told me that the running rumor about me is that I pulled a John Cusack in "Gross Pointe Blank" and have been traveling the world as a mercenary. Cora and I had a gut-busting laugh over that one. Anyone else encounter the out-of-contact-crazy-rumor phenomenon?Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

unformed 0 #2 January 23, 2007 That's great. You should go with it. Make up a story about how you were hiding in Africa and you were attacked by a pack of wild mountain lions and you had to battle them by hand. If you have a few scars to show, people -will- believe you.This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites TallGuy 0 #21 January 23, 2007 This is an odd story based on hearsay, but here goes. I moved from Maine to Florida to stay with my father during my senior year of High School. While there an incident occurred in which a teen from Maine under similar circumstances to mine, with either the same or similar name to mine was reported to have been killed by his father during a dispute over using a car. My mother caught wind of this and called me to check on my status. When I answered the phone she asked me how I was. Being unaware of the story I unenthusiastically said, "Oh... I'm alive." I never saw this article but when I returned to Maine I did have a few people state that they had heard that I had be killed. I think it's pretty funny but to this day my father is not amused.
