We've all heard fascinating "If/Then" stories, such as if Mark Wahlberg wouldn't have been late to the airport, then he would have been on one of the planes that crashed on 9/11.

Do any of your Huddlers have similar stories?

The closest I have is that my grandma (from Germany) was going to marry her highschool sweetheart, who went off to war. Sadly, he was killed in battle. So she later met my grandpa, married, had my dad, who in turn had me ... so if it wasn't for that bullet, then I would not be here.

If Grandma had balls, then she'd be Grandpa.

Alright, I get it, I have to dumb it down for the Huddle ... let's rephrase:

*What are you watching on TV right now?
*Post a pic of a curb stomping

That one is definitely the best curb stomping shot to my knowledge!

If I hadn't gotten wasted at my friend's birthday party, then I wouldn't be married.

Is that better? ;)

I was flying back from L.A. to Detroit in Spring of 1979. My friends dad couldn't get us to the airport for the later flight so we had to reschedule to the earlier flight. We connected in Chicago and arrived in Detroit and found out the the flight we were originally scheduled for had crashed in Chicago.

If I would have stayed asleep today, then I wouldn't have come into work, which would then lead to a stern reprimand from my boss, which would then lead to me crying, which would then lead to me peeing my pants, which would then lead to people laughing at me, which would then lead to me telling my wife about it, which would then lead to he laughing at me, which would then lead to me crying, which would then lead to me peeing my pants, which would then lead to her leaving me, which would then lead to me crying, which would then lead to me staying asleep for the next work day.

All because I decided to not come to work.

If my dad hadn't randomly decided to stop smoking in 1978, he would have had zero chance when he met my mom in 1979 (she hates smoke), and I likely wouldn't be here

My best buddy and I actually flipped a coin back in '93 to see which one of us were gonna hit on the hottest of two chicks at a bar on campus. I won the flip and picked the taller hotter one. He got her shorter buddy and it turns out the shortie was heiress to Longabarger baskets and my buddy ends up marrying her (they did get divorced later) but still the schmuck had it made for awhile.

That's a pretty awesome one right there!

That reminds me of this one night in Hoboken, I take my buddy out for drinks, and he asks me where is the best place to meet, ummm, let's say "easy" girls. So I take him to this hole called "Bahama Mama's" (think old Banana Joes in Columbus) ... he hooks up with a psycho girl, winds up knocking her up, now he is still paying a ton of money in child support.

My bad.

If my grandma had listened to her doctor's advice when she caught Scarlet Fever while being pregnant, then my dad would have never been born. The doctor recommended abortion.

If I hadn't taken my wife's car out to get gas at 2 AM one night, I wouldn't have had a 10-minute talk with LeBron James at the pump.

During this conversation, who was doing the pumping?

Nice.

Hey, how you doing in that 'most annoying poster' contest? I saw you were in the finals. :D
