re: What’s your claim to fame?

2012 LSU ping pong champion
Won a Natty Light ping pong table in a tournament at Reggie's freshman year
Won a tournament at Radio Bar too but only $50 prize
Won a signed Rajon Rondo bball from performing a trick shot at a pelicans game

I tackled Carnell Williams in high school. It was 1st round of the 2000 AL HS playoffs. It was also the only game of his high school career that he didn't score a TD.

In a past life I was a top tier poster.

While duck hunting saved a teen whose boat capsized in cold weather. And rescued a hunter also while duck hunting who was shot accidently while getting in to his boat from a duck blind. Glad I was there to help them.

I accidentally effed up during state testing (by doing exactly what the state told me to do) that resulted in a hearing between myself and the Texas Education Agency. I was cleared but now everybody that administers online testing in the state has to complete the 3nOut training beforehand and sign a bunch of documents that they didn’t used to have to.

Biggest impact in my life.

Interesting...what species of fish?

Banned Chicken twice.

Also my picture was on the front page of the Advocate during the Great River Road Race. With some other runners but I chimed in, they haven't, yet.

I saved 50 lives in 1982. My family had an auto salvage business, and I had a tow truck at my home. Biloxi PD called and asked for a tow truck to come to the jail that was on fire. I thought it was to move a car blocking a fire hydrant. When I got there, thick, black smoke was pouring from the building. Firemen told me the police couldn’t find the keys (the jailer was overcome by smoke and dropped the keys). An inmate had set the padded cell on fire, and toxic smoke was billowing out. They asked if my cables could pull open the locked cell doors. I was able to open the bulkhead door while surrounded by deputies with guns drawn, and about 30 inmates came running out. They were herded to an exercise yard by the deputies. They were all coughing and choking. They had been released from their cells by the jailer before he passed out, but couldn’t get out of the cell block. Firemen took my cable back inside three more times and I was able to pull open three bullpen cell doors. We helped 20 more out, who survived, but dragged out the 27 who died.
