Who are you??

[GVC]

Kaepernick went to Pitman, which didn't exist when I lived there (I submitted an entry for their colors/mascot...Apparently they weren't too keen on being called the Fighting Quail, and went with Pride. Lame.). I think my younger sister went to high school with one of his older siblings.

Aber sicher

This.

I get this questions fairly often actually and I find it weird. Germany is a "First World" country, not a whole lot different than America. Most of the time everything is fine and most everywhere is as safe as anywhere here. In the big cities there are obviously more seedy areas, like in any metropolitan area. I spent a year in east germany as the wall came down, and there the most danger I ever felt was from the russian soldiers, as they were still occupying east germany when I first got there. I remember being at the Leipzig train station, which is freaking huge, and the missionary I was with was taking a picture of the building. Almost like out of nowhere 4 russian soldiers appeared and one took the camera. The missionary started to protest until he saw they were carrying AK47s or something similar, and all decked out in their winter gear. They took the film out of the camera (yeah I am that old) and gave him back his camera, and in bad german said "no pictures of train". They were not very happy to have people taking pictures of the infrastructure, even though it was literally weeks from the official Wiedervereinigung. Crazy.

But I never really felt threatened by Germans, per se. We were ordered to stay in our apartment for two weeks when I was in Berlin, as it was during the first Gulf War and Americans were being beaten up by skinheads, and we were near the base. But that was not really a normal situation.

I lived in Honduras from 99-01 and I stuck out like a sore thumb. But I felt as safe there as I did in the states. The things that happened to me are things that could, and have, happened here. I have had more guns pulled on me in the states than in Honduras. Honduras is third world. Felt perfectly fine. Use some common sense and I do not see the need to worry.

Born in 1977, 2oth of July in Çorum, Turkey. I live in Antalya now, but lived in İstanbul and Almaty, Kazakhstan also. I have degree in business administration, and working as CFO of natural gas distribution company which is monopol by law in the established city. Married last year, have no kids yet. I love playing paper and pen style RPG's 2nd edition dungeons and dragons, watching basketball, playing the bridge, dancing Argentine tango and playing Civilization 4 modpacks, especially Cavemen to Cosmos.

I believe in pantheism, not some x-dimension god. We are all and one alike, integral part of one greater being. I don't believe in religions, and I think religions are the reason we cannot step further. I am not here to judge any of you neither. I know this is a Mormon community. I respect that.

I was fan of Stockton and Malone since early 90's. I had a great sympathy for the Jazz. After Memo started playing here, I started to follow Jazz more, and became a fan eventually.

I really feel at home in this forum. Many intelligent posters, and really great humour sometimes as well. That's a piece of me, boom bitches!

So how did Zulu blow it.
He had to have screwed up

Took home a quarter million instead of half a million!!

I have had more guns pulled on me in the states than in Honduras.

What the heck? How many guns have you had pulled on you in the States?? I'm 42, and I've never had a single gun pulled on me. And you're talking plural.

One of the great games of all time. I haven't played the game in years, though, and I haven't tried many (any?) modpacks. Think I still have the game (although it's possible I sold it)... maybe I should try that one.

I've had a gun pulled on me once by police when I was 13. I was locked out of my house an trying to jimmy open the back door. Neighbor called police and they arrived when I was on the roof. With guns drawn, they told me to go in the front yard where they then began to frisk me. After about a half hour they started to believe me.

I made the final table (top 5 overall finish) in Gameface's poker league. He should do that again.
Big time BYU fan. I think all Ute fans are mouth breathing, knuckle dragging, beer throwing, gas pumping, waste of my oxygen. They should be outlawed.

This might be one of the greatest posts of all time.

But now onto the meat of things: I owe everyone on this board a big mother effing apology. If had had any inkling that telling Ugly about the GD forum would send this place directly into the crapper, I would have gladly shut my corn hole. I am to blame, and I am really having a hard time coping with that particular factoid. And while I'm here, I am the one that coined UGLI Baby. Might as well put that one on my back too, since I'm already Hell bound.

I'm a 32 year old white male (from the waist up) and I've been having my mid-life crisis for about six years now. I was an 18 year old know-it-all and started a fly fishing business and told college to eat my man chowder. Life was good for the next nine years, but when things went bad, they went bad in a hurry. In a matter of twelve month I went from making 100k to 12k. My wife and I had to take a $30,000.00 loss on our house to avoid foreclosure, and it was a beautiful home that we built next door to bigb. He was an excellent neighbor, for what it's worth, and I miss him dearly. I've been selling insurance for eight years now, as a full time job for the last four years. I fish a lot, which is why I live in a dumpy house and drive dumpy cars, but dammit, I'm an addict. If anyone ever wants to go, I need like 10 minutes notice. I'm an aspiring politician, which is weird, because I hate politicians. I have had a rather unhealthy obsession with MMA for the last eight years or so, and finally took the step to actually compete. I've only grappled so far and I'm planning on one more grappling tournament in December, after which I will try my hand at full contact MMA. I'm more interested in the cerebral aspect of the sport, not the meat-head, break your face, get tats and do drugs aspect. We'll see how well that goes...

My life really does revolve around fishing though, it's sad. It's awesome. My family is a very close second, and I love my girls more than anything on the planet. I lost my first baby girl at birth; Ash let me name her River. (told you I'm addicted) We named our second baby girl Sloan. Yes, after Jerry. I have one other little girl and if nobody is around, I call her Lucifer or The Morning Star, but her birth certificate says Piper, and man, what an apt name. The kid never shuts her aching pie hole! She looks just like her dad, has the same ****ty attitude as her dad, is a lazy *** like her dad, is deceptive and a brown nosing slime ball, just like her dad. You'd think I'd LOVE this kid, but I see all of my bad traits just bursting out of every one of her seems. She is in for a really rough life I'm afraid. My wife and I have been married since 2005. I was born a Mormon, but didn't buy into it at all. I met some bad *** missionaries when I was engaged to Ash and they asked if there was anything they could do for me -- I told them to go weed my front yard, laughed, and sent them on their merry way. I woke up the next morning and looked out my window to see six missionaries in their grubbies pulling weeds in my front yard. I felt like such a tool. I humored them and let them give me the 1st discussion... It was all over at that point. Been a flaming Mo ever since.

That's about it. I choked out Archie Moses on his first attempt to take me down last night. Full on guillotine from standing down to full guard. Later on I slapped on an armbar and accidentally kicked him - hard - in the face with the side of my heel. He said he didn't feel it and didn't remember me doing it, but he texted this to me a few minutes ago:

"That gland thing is all swollen. I'm assuming that's where u kicked me, but then again, I don't even remember being kicked. It could be from multiple guillotines."

That guy may look/act like a femmy florist, but he is long, lanky, and strong as ****. I'm more sore today than I have ever been, and I've been pretty damn sore.

I am truly sorry for UGLI.
