Kiss my fuckin' Blarney Stone !!!
It's nearing Saint Patrick's Day, so whether you're Irish or not, what do you consider to be the luckiest event in your life? Unluckiest?

Re: Kiss my fuckin' Blarney Stone !!!
The luckiest event for me would be when I met my wife for the very first time and finally got married. The unluckiest was when I met her sister and married her first when I was drunk !!! Go figure.

Re: Kiss my fuckin' Blarney Stone !!!
I was born in Rawlins, Wyoming. Not the pretty, mountain part of that state, but rather the flat, high plains part. The slogan, if you can call it that, in Rawlins was: "The snow never melts here, it just blows around until it wears out."
Rawlins is a town with a population of a little over 9000, its big claim to fame is that it is the home of the State Penitentiary. This was a town where girls were considered old maids if they are not married and pregnant by the time they dropped out of high school.
The luckiest day of my life occurred when I was 12 and my parents decided to move to San Diego and away from that hell hole.

Luckiest:
During a live-fire exercise in the Navy in the strait of Hormuz when I was just a dumbass squid.
Being the bravest(dumbass)sailor in my battle station I volunteered to recover a firehose from the deck after a cancellation of the exercise due to rough seas(that is clue #1 for those who are clueless). When I opened the outer hatch my timing was regrettable as just then a swell came up over the bow on the downside of the roll. The impact with the hatch(a few tons af pressure maybe?)just about knocked my fucking head off and laid me flat out on the nonskid deck which made hamburger out of my face. Well, dumasses are very persistant so head ringing,nose bleeding and blurry vision and all I proceded to complete my mission.
Accessing the outer deck on the upside of the swell, I proceded to unscrew the hose from the bulkhead(wall)(an almost fatal error). There was about 75 ft of hose at that moment on the next upswell being sucked off the deck. The hose had been charged previouse to the exercise and it was heavy with a volume of water in it so I could not pull it in. I had to go out to the end and get both ends inside the hatch to keep it from fouling the screw(propellor)of the ship.
I reached the end of the hose with a sprint on the upswell but I was knocked over as the ship hit the bottom of the swell. The charged hose was too heavy to handle in those conditions ( Clue #2 for the clueless:erie silence when they ask for volunteers)
So......why is this the lucky part Army?....I'm gettin there.
Tons of seawater flowed over the ships bow. I only had ahold of a loose firehose(remember,I unhooked it) in the middle of an open deck. I was underwater and the ship began to rise. Anything, including loose firehoses and dumbass sailors, at that point, start to get sucked off the deck. The only thing between being sucked out into a stormy ocean and drowning or being chopped up into fishfood by the 12ft screw was a few thin cables called "lifelines".
The swell lifted me off the deck high enough so that my feet could not catch the 3" knife edge to stop me. My legs went through but the lower cable caught my armpits(that fucking hurt)and the Blacktips went hungry.
I don't remember the trip back to the hatch but no doubt, it was some kind of record time. I was spitting blood and seawater and shaking from hypothermia and adrenalin. By this time, the officer of the deck(on the bridge)had given direct orders for some help after he got done shitting his pants(great timing). I guess they had never experienced that before either and figured it would be no big deal.

Re: Kiss my fuckin' Blarney Stone !!!
i do'nt consider myself lucky i believe in good fortune. for some reason i have been very fortunate mostly all my life.just the other day someone in my family said to me "you're lucky all the time" i can't count all the things that have come my way that have more than just gotten me through. if i tried to describe them here it'd get boring. do'nt get me wrong bad things have happened to me as well but the good outweighs the bad.
sometimes i think i should play the lotto but i come to my senses when i think of the money i'd just piss away. i figure if good comes my way it was meant to be.

Oh, but there's more. One thing I did get from military service besides some scars and a weird rash. Some bravery,some courage, but most of it seems more closely related to ignorance.
I seem to hear "glad you made it" alot........uhmmm? Maybe I'll sit the next one out or I might end up like......

Re: Kiss my fuckin' Blarney Stone !!!
Maybe it's just all this testosterone that just needs to be used up somehow.........uhmm? I wonder how I'd get such a powerful hormone under control?
Any ideas.

Re: Kiss my fuckin' Blarney Stone !!!
Blarney stone The Blarney Stone is a stone set in the wall of the Blarney Castle tower in the Irish village of Blarney. Kissing the stone is supposed to bring the kisser the gift of persuasive eloquence. The legend says that an old woman cast a spell on the stone to reward a king who had saved her from drowning. Kissing the stone while under the spell gave the king the ability to speak sweetly and convincingly. It's difficult reach the stone. Kissers have to lie on their back and bend backward or downward, holding iron bars for support.
is the true
