I dig this photo of Steve.

I remember my dad telling me the story of meeting Steve at the movie location in Germany, about 1962 (The Great Escape) My dad and his friends hung out around the filming location, and got yelled at for being 'in the shot'.. (My dad is actually in the film, but out on a fence watching the movie being made. Not in the movie shoot itself, although he was invited to be in the movie) Steve actually told him to come over to the front lot and he would put him in as an extra... He didn't want to skip school and get trouble from his dad for doing so. My granddad looked like a movie star, and was a military SOB. My dad as a kid looked like a movie star and could have been in The Great Escape. But did not want the wrath of my granddad........

Steve needed help with a small part on his bicycle out side the filming grounds. My dad, and his friends took him down the street to get him the part at a little bicycle shop. My dad tells me, Steve grabbed the little pad / invoice pad / carbon copy, and pulled off a page........ He flipped it over and wrote this note and gave it to my dad..... Ive seen the original in my hands before. I believe its a very well know that Steve did not sign autographs... Evidently, his autograph is very rare..... Just a fun cool story....

<<vacuum picture from above>>

A few years ago around Christmas time I ask my buddy what he might be getting his wife for Christmas? In my head I'm thinking maybe a small vacation for the both of them, for maybe some type of jewelry, or just somthing that she would be surprised and excited about.... (Thats what I was thinking).... Ive know this guy for almost 15 years, we are almost like brothers.

He thinks for a moment and tells me he has been looking at a new Vacuum, he is looking at a new fancier model.................... HOLY SHIT, are you serious, that's the last thing you should get your wife....... LOL... (not my business, we chuckled)

He actually DID get that vacuum that Christmas...... WOW.... Ive spoken to his wife about that in the last several years and I got an "eye-roll" about the topic.... LOL

A few years later, she really wanted a rumba robot vacuum. As Christmas got closer I asked him if he was doing the Rumba? What did she get that Christmas, a knock off Rumba vacuum. The battery dies in short order.................. Holy crap dude,,, STOP with the vacuums.... Go get "something" that she will not expect and knock her socks off !



I did that once with mine, for a Christmas surprise, trying to be sexy & spontaneous, I opened the door nude....................... Now I'm getting sued by UPS.....................


(that's a really old joke with UPS)
