I think I designed the first Schrade fixed blade to be covered by Tactical Knives Magazine.

I know I was the first person to get them to produce a design in 1095 steel in a very long time

[C_Tanner]

I was a Navy Firefighter (DC2) from 91-2000

I was a pretty well respected Paranormal Investigator for almost 10 years...before reality TV came along and made it retarded.

I got to sit one on one with Dave Canterbury and shoot the s*** for 4 hours around a campfire because everyone else in my class hit their hammocks at 7:00pm (????)

I suspect (but can't prove) I was the inspiration for naming his pack goat "Tanner" (I mean...how common is THAT name?) because I was 30 lbs heavier and had to climb this stupid hill at his school like a million times with a pack on.

Thats enough. I can't give away all my secrets....

I'm only 19 so my lifetime is of limited interest, but nonetheless I've done a couple cool things. I met and talked to Jason McElwain for a while at a dinner (The Autistic teenager who scored 20 points in the last 4 minutes of a basketball game and won an Espy), I tested the airsoft product line for Crosman for a couple years, and I appeared in Part 2 of JakeKnapp's EDC rap. I'm the big guy with the Khukuri and camo bandana!

Moose

I knew it.

In reality, Moose is a member of my profession. Gotta blend in, you know.

I pissed Lynn Thompson off once real bad at a knife show. He's a funny fat man.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate.

You know - junk like that.

One time while traveling, I stopped into a truck stop to take a mad dump. There were maybe five stalls, and inside my stall, I could hear everyone complaining about my stink. It was bad. "Christ what is that smell?" "How about a courtesy flush James" (My name is not James the guy was just desperate to breahe). It was bad for everyone in the room, even those washing their hands on the other side. I wasn't sick or anything. It came out as a solid, healthy looking log. It just stunk worse than anything before or ever since. People were gagging and making references to a** mask. Another time I was riding solo on Tatsu at Six Flags Magic Mountain, a ride where your head first and you go around the track. As the ride ended and we were all hanging there, we had a long delay of about five minutes. I had mad gas from eating lots of free oranges, pith and all. A couple of dozen oranges over a two day period and poop was coming out orange with farts every five seconds or so. There were four seats, an empty one next to me, and a couple in the other two seats. The poor was asking her boyfriend what that smell was. She said it smelled like rotting garbage. They were debating what or where it was coming from. She couldn't take much of it and while suspended there, threw up onto the platform.

My claim to fame? Weapon of gas destruction. May the farts be with you friends.

[Arkanian]

I vacationed in FL with a Penthouse Playmate, played the gold piano that was used in the Wizard of Oz and celebrated 4th of July with Bob Guccione at his place Upstate while he was still rich and relevant.

On a knife note, I had my BK5 convexed by Fisk and my BK2 stolen by a hippie.
