That's all for now, care to add to the thread anyone?

My dad had a cousin who was on the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbour. He was an A/A turret gunner and miraculously he survived, and fought on through the war, during which time he became a USN Diver and was allowed to return to the AZ and clean out his own locker.
Nothing to do with me really, just a cool story off the top of my head.

I was kidnapped by shriners when I was four years old and forced to work as a mechanic of their miniature cars (small hands as a kid). I escaped in 2002 and moved to Nova Scotia with my dentist's wife, where we learned to speak english and opened a taxidermy shop, while I moonlighted as an accountant (Taxidermy & Taxes, I called it).

I was deported back to my country in 2004.

I've since illegally immigrated back to Canada, and I'm working as a rice cooker in a Tai restaurant while finishing my education.

I'm engaged to the dentist's wife (Francesca), and we're getting married this April.
