5 things about you.

1. Due to an experience on the family farm while I was still toting a BB gun I have a deep hatred for pigeons. Almost get twitchy when I see one and can’t kill it. My neighbors used to say they knew what weekends I was home from college as they would hear me go through a few hundred shotgun shells ridding the barnyard of the demons. Have killed them with everything from BB guns to rat traps and most everything in between. I do enjoy eating them though.
2. Grew up in a house where a murderer held my parents hostage the year before I was born. All my family members made it through the ordeal. Unfortunately so did he.
3. I’ve only owned two vehicles in 18 years since my drivers license.
4. I have two pieces of pencil graphite, one in my arm and the other on my foot for nearly 20 years now.
5. I am remarkably average and love it.

Edit: should have reread the OP. I missed the mark on this one!

Saw the sun rise from the top of an active volcano


In high school and while wearing a tux, I jumped from the roof of a mall onto the roof of a brand new Planet Hollywood. Found a hatch to an opening going into a storage room off the kitchen, and snuck into the grand opening party. Spent about an hour drinking beer and BSing with Bruce Willis. He introduced me to Arnold Shwarzenegger and Demi Moore, but I only spent a few minutes talking to them.
 
Chronological order:

Jumped out of a helicopter onto the backs, wrestled, and tied up most western big game species

I remember hearing about a crew of Australians that would contract for this kind of work to game agencies, sounds exciting.
 
1) I'm in my 40's but had a grandfather who served in WWI.
2) Currently raising my five kids as the 5th generation on the family farm.
3) Am a loyal friend.
4) Landed a 108# halibut on a buzzbomb and 20lb test while fishing for rockbass.
5) Still married to the right woman after 25 years.
Those 100#+ 'butts are pretty calm UNTIL they realize they are near the surface...THEN they ''loose it''!!! on the fish boat s(Commercial) we would shoot them with a .22. it worked, ...well Most of the time anyway ...
the ''original'' buzz bombs were made in a guy's garage/ shop, just up the island in COURTENAY.......You could go buy them right there.......... Heck,I even bought a couple at the store at EAST GATE in YELLOWSTONE !!!! they are now sold worldwide...
