I did both

List a couple of examples of movie/tv dialog that you found exceptional in some way -- either the so brilliant you were blown away or so dumb you had to clean your ears to make sure you heard it right or so funny you nearly choked.

#1 fave of all time: “Trust me, I know what I’m doing” -Bubba Zenetti to Toecutter right before Bubba was shot and killed by Max (From the movie “Mad Max”)

#2 fave of all time “Tis but a scratch!” – The Black Night to King Arthur when The Black Knight was denying that King Authur had just severed his arm (from the movie “Monty Python and The Holy Grail”

#3 fave of all time “Don't worry, little brother... there are more!” Herger the Joyous to Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan after Ibn has hacked an enemy soldier into bits and is looking around him for more enemies (from the movie “The 13th Warrior”)

List ten (or more) events/experiences/accomplishments/etc in your life that you wouldn't give up for anything in the world.

#1 of all time (2 way split)- watching my children be born. Without a doubt the coolest thing I have ever seen, and as it stands today, I am the only person who remembers being there and seeing what I saw. That’s a very special feeling.

#2 of all time- Talking a 17 year old kid out of jumping off the AMR/Coast Guard H1 overpass at about 3am. When I first saw him, I stopped my vehile and yelled at him to get off the bridge rail. When I realized he wasn’t moving, it dawned on me that he wasn’t there for the thrill. I spent about 30 minutes talking to him until he trusted me enough to get within lunging range. I lunged, he let go, I grabbed him, he fought, I pulled him over the rail, put him on the pavement, and handcuffed him. He was some upset at the time, but I got a call from his parents about a week or so later. He made it and was finally getting help. I’ll never forget that. Ever.

#3 of all time- Air Assault School. I can’t even explain it. The rush I felt from dropping out of a UH-1H “Aussie” style… wow.

#4 of all time- Hmm… ok, I guess there isn’t a #4 per se, so I’ll just list off some things at random that come to mind.

Playing guitar in a band that played a crowd of about 300 people. That was pretty cool.

Winning a bet that I could not hit a human-size sillhoutte at 1000 yards with open sights with an M-14 in 3 shots or less when I was at the range with SRT. I nailed it on the first shot. Lucky? We’ll never know, I didn’t bother taking the 2nd shot, but I’ll tell you, that shot earned me a reputation and I credit that reputation with getting me a spot on the US Army Military Police Pistol Team… where I spent 3 months doing nothing but shooting every day. Your tax dollars at work, citizen!

First time I was in a “moresome”. Ok, so that’s lame and makes me look like a creep, but it was fun. Sue me.

First time I benched over 200 lbs. I got to be in the “big boy’s” club after that.

First time I went to a “real” concert. Again, all I can say is “wow’.

Uhm…

Hmm..

That’s going to have to be good enough for now.
