'I once came within about 10 feet of hitting a balloon at 10,000 feet AGL.

The balloon was a child's balloon in the shape of a clown's head. The pressure differential at 10,000 feet caused it to expand into what appeared to be a grotesque, deformed mutant clown writhing in agony.

Convinced I was either suffering from the effects of hypoxia or witnessing the ascent of one of Satan's horrible minions from the depths of hell and into the heavens above, I headed back to the airport and sat down for a while.'

'I was undergoing awful treatment with Accutane at that time, and I remember demanding that the photos not be retouched to remove the scars. I sent Renzo another one that shows how bad the acne really was up close. The pleated shorts, G-Shock watch, tucked in shirt and retarded pose I have no explanation for, except that's what I actually used to wear. [facepalm] Too bad you can't see the Topsiders I'm sure were on my feet...'

@Mooshie: If you go to your local Asian grocery and spend $0.60 per packet instead of $0.30, you can get ramen that comes with little flavor sachets and is really quite tasty. If you poach an egg in the microwave and lay it on top you can have a pretty good meal.
