This may surprise you, but....
Use this thread to post things that are 100% true about you, but that might surprise some people to find out. I'll start.....
I'm an excellent blackjack player and card counter. While attending the University of Utah I often made extra money when I needed it by card counting in the NV casinos. I actually considered making a living at it.
OK... who's next...

I am third to the youngest of my dad’s twenty-two children. He was a fundamentalist Mormon who believed in polygamy. He had two wives but not at the same time.

Re: This may surprise you, but....
I call BULL SH!%. We all know your brain is incapable of winning the eternal battle with your penis. And in a casino, full of cocktail waitresses and other seductresses competing for your attention (not to mention alcohol), I'd bet my life on the fact you couldn't even count to ten.

I skipped 2 grades during school and graduated from High School at the age of 15. In Louisiana, you were allowed to start first grade at the age of 5 as long as you turned 6 before Dec. 31.

Fly Away
I have flown aerobatics in both the Cessna 152 Aerobat and the Beech T-34 Mentor. I am particularly fond of spins.

Re: Fly Away
Thanks. I used to fly all the time when airplane rents were cheap and I was single. Some flying friends of mine run an aircraft mod company called General Aviation Modifications Inc., and their T-34 is their show plane, with the "GAMIjectors" logo all over it. Their chief engineer, George Braly, used to give me my BFRs in it, and he would insist that I show him I could perform Immelmans, split Ss, slow rolls, etc., and of course spin recoveries. We would have a blast.

Their aren't any aerobatics in this film, but it does show Abby and me having a terrific time in a nice little 152 I used to rent...

Re: Fly Away
This always surprises me. In Canada, it's required. (And yeah, fun!) I think the flight I enjoyed most was in a 1934 Waco biplane (as a passenger only.) A loop in an open cockpit biplane (leather helmet and all) is something to experience!
