Mythbusters disproved the "Son of a gun" myth. And you did say
that you got shot in the "Leg" correct?

Silver lining to this is that had I not been shot, then I
probably would not have my son today.

My story isnt as good as Joe's. I was good friends with some
cats on the rugby team who were less than reputable. Their old
high school friend had a good sized distribution set up, and
asked us occasionally to collect for him. I had been on three
other “collections” with Erik, who was a very large, angry,
f’ing mean sob – perfect job for him. Little anger,
intimidation, threats – no problem….easy money.
Went the fourth time and the guy shot at us through the front
door – at chest height, which somehow ended up in my left thigh.
Luckily, it did not have a lot of energy left to penetrate far
after going through the door. Thing I remember most is Erik was
mad at me for bleeding in his truck – he was a real sweetheart.
Anyway, that was my last time doing that stupid shit.
Erik did go back later and collect though – and gave me my half.
I asked what happened and he said the guy opened the door, gave
him the money, and closed the door – easiest one yet. lol

Not the middle leg. My right leg. Sucks I can't run like I used
to do a few miles in the morning, and a mile after work.

Figured I'd play along. Mine is quite an eclectic (and blessed)
history...
After 8 years (4 active, 4 reserve) in the army as a 19k (M1
Tanker Crewman - Driver / Gunner) and a few years in college, I
went to work in Hollywood as a Grip thanks to the joys of
nepotism (my father was a Grip as well). Worked a ton of feature
films and episodic TV shows (along with some commercials, rock
videos and a few unmentionable things) over the span of about 7
years. After getting into a motorcycle accident and nearly
killing myself I spent a few years in rehab and soon realized I
couldn't Grip anymore (hard physical labor) so I went back to
school and became a Graphic Artist. Did that for what seemed 100
years, but in reality it was about a decade before I got bored
out of my mind so I branched off and took a chance at a little
company called Westwood studios in Vegas and got my start in the
gaming industry, where I've been for the last 15 years or so.
Spent about about a 10 years at one of the 800 lb gorillas
(<caugh>EA<caugh>) before finding a greener pasture, and now I'm
at a private company I love called ZeniMax (Bethesda) running
the Technology, Automation and Analytic teams for our Customer
Support organization.
Hopefully y'all have tried a few of the games we recently
released... :peace:
