Your Claim to Fame?

[Marlin]

I'm bored,,,

What's your claim to fame?

Me, I got my name in the Littleton Independent 4 times..

Once in 5th grade,,

Twice in 6th grade, once for taking 4th in a wrestling tournement. And, once for taking 3rd..

Last time was for Graduating from High School..

[crzy_one]

Was in the Arizona republic in 6th grade for a YMCA group where they took kids out with Honda sponsored dirt bikes...

Was on the news a hand full of times in Phoenix investigating roll over accidents when I was with the Highway Patrol...

I didn't feel very special...

Congrats KellyTTE! Always loved reading those stories in Boys' Life but never had one of those occasions pop up on my watch.

My claim? Hmm .... I'm probably the worst shooter on these boards ...

[Marlin]

Good for you Kelly.

I used to carry a newspaper clipping reporting my death in a car accident in 1973. The report was in the paper two days after the accident.

And a television station in Minneapolis reported I was killed in an airplane accident on thier afternoon news show. This was in 1975. Fortunatly my folks had the correct info before then.



I ain't dead yet. Oh and I don't do boats or water stuff.

I was the shooter on the grassy knoll
(which was kinda cool since I was born in 1969).


Seriously though, I was on Romper Room once when I was 4.

...named several times over several days in the denver post newspaper about two years ago... no photos thankfully, I don't think my name was brought up on the talk shows, but I kinda just turned everything off and didn't listen for a while. Was mentioned like 58 times in a 90 page affidavit for a court case related to the situation I won't mention here. It didn't turn out good for someone, but it wasn't me. Spent about 3-4 months hiding from the news reporters... no fun.

Remember to never put your personal information on a police report that has to do with work related items. stupid stupid stupid... use the work information.

couple other misc. times in local neighborhood papers for high school drunk driving awareness types of things... nothing special.

Dead man walkin! (Sorry, but someone had to say it.)

Boy Scouts National Court of Honor: Certificate of Heroism and Medal for Meritorious Action for saving a toddler from drowning in a winter lake when I was 12.

I have a similar story. My biggest claim to fame was when I was in the Scott AFB paper for saving a guy from drowning in the base pool. It was during a pool party with the Med Group and there was a Life Guard on duty. The Life Guard didn't budge and when I pulled the guy out of the deep end then out of the pool and he wasn't breathing, it took the computer geek (me) to clear the guys airway and get him breathing again. Of course, the newspaper story mis-quoted me and made me look really stupid.

I've been in papers here and there for piddley little crap that I can't even remember.
