- I quit college to take a job in radio because I left a cassette tape of my work from college radio at that station by accident and they liked it so much they hired me. After realizing I was a 21-yr-old punk that didn't want to follow their rules, I was fired 5 days into the job. I re-enrolled into college that semester and made Dean's List because my classes were Intro to Basketball and 3 internships with local radio and TV stations.
- My distant relative was paid to throw a World Series game.
- I was fired from my college newspaper because I had my car broken into, so I posed as a reporter for the paper and interviewed a bunch of skaters that always hung out in that parking lot and I assumed one of them broke into my car. So I got all their names for this fake story and reported them to the cops. My editor found out and fired me on the spot. I don't blame him one bit.
- I have been to multiple swinger parties. I have never partaken, though, in the revelry.
- Then governor of Michigan, Jim Blanchard, probably saved my life when I was a child. He pushed me out of the way of a charging moose during a relocation project in the 80s. My uncle worked for the Dept. of Natural Resources and so he took me along and we were right next to the boxes that opened to let the moose out. Instead of hi-tailing it into the woods, one of them turned around and charged at me. Blanchard pushed me out of the way and someone else with the DNR was able to scare it to turn into the woods. Even at 10 years old, yes, your life can flash in front of your eyes. LOL
