So outside of skiing share an interesting/little known fact about yourself. Got a cool job, been somewhere interesting, been part of history, slept with a celebrity, or something else?

As for me I was in Berlin when the wall came down and had a crazy couple of days thereafter. I've also worked with the siblings of famous people, Harry Connick jr's sister and Susan Sarandon's brother.

not sure if these are interesting but

I've met K.C. Jones a number of times. He's a very good friend of my aunt.

As of 2 years ago, i could still hit 80mph on a radar gun.

I got tossed out of Green Mtn. College in less then a year.

I did a 4 beer funnel. once.

My honeymoon was in Hawaii. I landed on sept 10th 2001. Went to sleep and when i woke up, i thought the world was coming to an end. Not the greatest honeymoon but thats pretty trivial in the big picture.

I'm the first person to ever put a radio locator tag on a Williamson's Sapsucker.
My name is on a map in the National Archives (my name as me, not just someone with my name)

I played a round of golf with Ray Allen (of current Boston Celtics fame) when I was in Hawaii a few years back. Extra fun for me since he led one of my alma matters (UCONN) to the NCAA championship a few years back, and I took him for $8 too! :)

Other than that I was the undergraduate student body president during my senior year of college, and I've had about a half dozen articles published that unless you're a metallurgist or a really, really, really geeky dentist or dental laboratory technician there's no way you'd find interesting (the research I did just gave me an excuse to spend a summer breaking small pieces of metal with a really big hydraulic press :) )

When I scroll through quickly your avatar looks like boobs. Then I stop and look. :-o

Dude.. I was just thinking the same ...Oh I saw Billy Joel and Cristy Brinkley when they had the limo pull through the drive-thru while working in a fast food joint, Colin Quin also poked his head in the same place one night looking for a phone. And Roy Schnider, the sheriff from Jaws(RIP) at a somewhat nicer place I worked at.
