Once I almost got Mike Tyson to punch me when I saw him in the Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas by talking smack to him. :D

I was in the LA Hilton, quite pissed (ok very), arguing with a couple of American service folk when I suggested that all Americans were wimps.... They asked me if all Americans including Evander Holifield were wimps and if I'd be able to "punch him out". Unbeknown to me Evander was standing behind me and listening to the conversation. My retort was that Evander may just have the edge on me but I reckon my mate Lennox would be able to deal with him easily enough (Lennox Lewis had knocked him out for the World title the previous week).

As silence broke out I turned round to see a very unhappy large man....

:o:D :D

My great grandpa, growing up as a kid in Missouri, was walking down the dirt road going out of town, when he met a group of out-of-town strangers on horseback coming toward him. The guy at the head of the group, asked me great gran'pappy: "Which way toward town, young-un?"

"That-a-way, over yonder," great grandad advised.

Later that day, the news traveled far and wide that the town bank was robbed just minutes later by notorious Jesse James and his band of hoodlums--the same group given directions by my illustrious ancestor.

So, does this count, if it's in my genes? Does infamous count as much as famous?

[Disclaimer: I won't give directions to anyone because of this bad karma. Especially to long-faced bearded guys in turbans or crouching fellers in ninja outfits, or guys on horseback with handelbar moustaches, or...] :o

I was saddam's executioner

The innocent tricycle works well in masking your menacing hangman's persona... :o I take it those are Saddam's supporters chasing you?

I am actually the guy in the lead tank doing the chasing :D

Just came from a little rice village in Isaan, where I spent New Year's weekend. All the town fathers wandering around with soggy fermented rice in strainers over plastic bowls. Of course, the visiting farang was obligated to taste each man's concoction. Such a burden, being a temporary visiting celebrity.... :o:D
