RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 March 31, 2006 He is in need of a laugh. I'll start. I think it was about a year or so ago when I was a "plant" in Deland looking for a job and stayed there for a long time and couldn't seem to leave. I made friends with this swooper/camera flyer named Ray. Gus Wing introduced me to him and said that he was the guy with Red, White and Blue eyes and a lot of piercings; that I couldn't miss him if I went into the Perfect Spot looking for those characteristics. I met Ray and our friendship began. Ray introduced me to so many amazing people at Deland...some are still here and some have passed on. A funny story I recall is when Ray and I were going to meet Bob at the Oyster Pub on Daytona Beach and I gave Ray a ride. I had the music up and we're talking loud and all of a sudden, Ray turns the music down and says "is it hot as hell in here to you?" I said "no I have the A/C on"...he says "Holy Shit! it's like 500 degrees and my ass is on fire" as he leans forward in my SUV (that I drove down to Florida from Colorado). Long story short, my SUV had HEATED leather seats and somehow Ray's side was turned on and he was sweating his ass off...literally!!! I'll never forget that story...we've had so many great times. Even if you don't have a personal funny story to share about/with Ray... just say something funny anyway...he really appreciates it right now _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #3 March 31, 2006 I never had the pleasure of meeting Ray, so I'll just tell a humurous story of a day in my life. This happened back in my college days. I had just gotten back from Florida and I had a dentist appt. the first day back. It was a nasty day on Long Island. Freezing rain and nasty winds. After I was done with the dentist, I was in my car waiting for traffic to clear so I could pull out of the parking lot. Suddenly, I felt a thud in the back of my car. Some lawyer actually rear ended me in the parking lot, denting my bumper and knocking out my tail light. After getting all his insurance info, I was on my way. About a mile down the road, I was backed up in traffic waiting on a red light. To my right was the entrance to a YMCA. An old man in a yellow Corvair was in the left lane and wanted to turn into the Y. He gestures to me, I assume asking permission for me to hold back when the light is green so he can cross in front of me. I gesture back that it was OK. With that the man starts moving toward me. From the angle, I know he could not clear my car. Bam! He hits my front bumper. I hit my horn and with my hands gesture "What the hell are you doing?" He's paying no attention. He just backs up and tries to get a better angle. Once again, he's coming back at me. BAM! He hits me again! I'm not talking a tap here. So, I'm on the horn again and once again he's paying no attention. Re-angles his car and starts at me again. This time he makes it and just pulls up the long drive to the Y. I'm sitting there stunned, saying WTF?? Now I'm pissed. I immediately turn into the road to the Y and follow him. The man had to be close to 90 years old. I catch him walking into the Y and asked why he hit my car twice. He literally had no clue what I was talking about. I explained, and he still had no clue what I was talking about. I knew I was getting nowhere and really didn't want to give some old man a hard time, so I just wished him a good day and let him get away with it. So, there you have it; 3 "car accidents" in a 1 mile stretch. Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rdutch 0 #6 March 31, 2006 QuoteRay, Remember the wake up calls in Colorado Good times! Blues, Ian Lol at least explain. I told the front desk at the hotel that I was the team captain for all the skydivers at the hotel. And I wanted a wake up call at 2 and 2:15 am for every room. It would have been great if my only witness hadn't squealed on me. Lol. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
