I panicked. I was on back roads and a car came up behind me and got really close and the lights didn't look like cruiser lights. I tapped my brakes for him to back off, not super hard, but i wanted to flash my brake lights. Next thing I know the blues came on and I just down shifted and floored it. I wasn't high or drunk or hiding anything in the car, i legit just panicked and thought i could out run him, which i did. But cops have radios and when i came over a hill there were two driving at me, so at that point i stopped.

They surrounded my car guns drawn and i got out and laid down on the street. They dragged me across the road, cuffed me, and asked if I was retarded. In hind sight i wish i had said yes, but i was in shock and didn't really talk until I was in the back of the cop car and then the situation started to set in. I sat in jail for 3 hours and then the Sgt. drove me home. When they realized I was just an idiot who panicked and wasn't hiding drugs they were pretty nice to me. Might have been the dumbest thing i've ever done.

I don't understand why they don't believe me, she told me with her own mouth that she was a virgin until our wedding night. I believe her because she would go out with a bunch of different guys when I was out of town for work and when I asked her about it, she would say they were just friends.

You get cited for anything?

Cited? You don't get cited, you get charged ha.

I was charged with criminal speeding, failure to stop, negligence, and reckless endangerment. Went to court and the lawyer dropped everything and didn't even suspend my license. I did however have to pay court costs, probation fees, and towing, which came out to roughly $900.

They put me on something called a CWAF which is "continue without a finding" for a year. So if i was arrested for anything over the next year it would've been a mandatory 60 days in jail. This was the only time i've ever been arrested and I hope it stays that way ha.

Had a chance to go canoeing with the band Incubus once......

Summer of 2000, between senior year of HS and first year of college, I was working at a canoe livery in my hometown. Basically it's a place where we rent you a canoe to go down river, pick you up when you're done, and bring you back to your vehicle. Easily the greatest job of all time. On top of that my bosses were late 30's Harley riders who spent most evenings at the bar and acted more like the high school flunkies they employed than proprietors of a business.

One night, the smart boss (Joel) got the idea to try and get a hold of a concert promoter or someone associated with Ozzfest and just throw out the idea to see if any of the bands would be interested in taking a slight detour to come canoeing at our place free of charge. Ozzfest was being held at Polaris two weekends from then so he figured it'd give the bands some time to make the stop if interested. The next day he managed to somehow talk to a guy associated with Ozzfest and the guy said he would float the offer and let my boss know if anyone was up for it.

We never thought he'd hear back from the promoter but sure enough about two days later he got a phone call from the promoter who said that the band Incubus was interested. My boss gave him all of the information they needed (address, directions, hours) and the guy told him they'd be down the following Saturday. We were all fucking stoked. Lots of arguments that week about who would get to canoe down the river with the band as their guides, how much weed would they bring, how good it would be, would they party with us afterwords, backstage passes for Ozzfest (my friends and I already had our tickets).......the whole bit.

So Saturday shows up and everyone is real nervous just waiting for their tour bus to pull in to the parking lot. Waited........waited.......waited. Then about 3-4pm in the afternoon my boss comes back from one of our landings with some canoes he had picked up with this disgusted look on his face. He had been down at the landing and across the river was the main entry point for our competitor in town. As he described it, shoving off in to the water were two canoes with 4 guys who looked distinctly like they were "not from Ohio." Piercings, tattoos, one guy was white and had dreads. He shouted across the river and asked them if they were Incubus. In fact they were; they had somehow ended up at another canoe livery.

Probably the worst part for me is that I am positive no one at the other canoe place had any idea who these guys were.

LJ and I are brothers.

Wrong thread

Would've been awesome. If their concerts are any indication, I'd say they'd be a blast to hang out with.

I have a story that no one on OC or the Huddle would believe so I wont even tell it.....but it is pretty cool...

No one seems to believe I own part of a McDonald's franchise. Even my friends in 'the real world' don't believe me until I show them the paperwork.

Scan it, black out the personal info, and post it.

I believe ya. If you wanted to sound like a big shot you would have used something better than a McDonald's to own, like maybe a message board website or something.
