How I became the badass I am today.



In the summer of 1976, Mom and Pops were having a tough time. The entire valley had dried up. The crops were dying, and the bank was ready to forclose on the farm. Barely able to speak, I nonetheless muttered 'Oh Crap' when suddenly Dad got gout. With bankers looming, I had to do something. I had to bring in the crops. Mom cut down a pair of Dad's work overalls, and with my trusty Keds, I set out for 'Bertha' our main tractor to save the family. There was only one problem...how to reach the pedals?

First word you ever said was "tractor"...who knew how prophetic that would be... (motherly grin)

You're such a nerd, I bet the first word you said was actually "protractor."

Hummm...and that comment came from the largest highly irregular body in the solar system (a satellite of Saturn).
