I actually won Most Likely to Succeed and came in second for Most Talented. Oh how I've gone downhill.

At my high school? Some kid named Jack Smith. I actually used to be pretty good friends with him. He and I were on the cross-country team together, and went all the back to elementary school. We pulled some decent pranks together.

I think Danger must be a spy (his knowledge of high speed aircraft and weapons), so he is pretty mysterious (we do know that he likes sheep in a very mysterious way).:biggrin:

I would hazard to guess that he is or was a Naval aviator.

Yes, I recall him saying he flew several missions over Hanoi in one thread.

His signature gave it away... I bet there's an interesting story behind that quote.
