Bottom line - I didn't "escape" it, I wasn't convicted because I wasn't guilty.

Details?
Many years ago when I first got started, I shot a model who, unknown to me at the time, gave me a fake ID. After a few months, she decided to go and tell someone what she'd done. A county prosecutor decided to try and make a name for himself by nailing me with a bunch of charges, including manufacture and distribution of child pornography. After a long legal battle, I plead guilty to a simple charge of obscenity, forfeited one computer, paid a fine and was placed on probation. He never got his big headline, and it was really just a huge waste of time on their part, but I learned many valuable lessons about the legal system.

I'd be happy to answer, but I've got so many questions already... let me tackle that one as a separate thread some other time... fair enough?

I worked on and off as a bouncer most of my through college, so it would've been about 6 years or so total. I worked at different clubs and bars, sometimes as the only bouncer in the bar, and other times as part of a 6-8+ man crew. I've seen people do everything and anything in sometimes comical, sometimes hostile, and a few times, life threatening situations.

Once we went outside the club to find a guy who had just been beat on by about 4 guys, against a curb, with many foot kicks to the face and head.
I don't remember how long he spent in ICU, but the other guys were finally caught and charged.

A few times I orded and ambulance be called for people with alcohol poisoning.

Then there was the time I had to break up a fight between a guy and a tranny, after the guy had found out on the dance floor in a most surprising manner, that the 'woman' he was dancing with had some extra parts.

I've had beer bottles over the head, been blindsided by punches/slaps/shoves, and even been bitten - (that guy took a thumpin' for that one). For the most part though I don't like to fight and I never ever tried to start something with someone for no reason as some bouncers are known for doing. It was a paycheck, not an ego trip, and I did my job to the best of my ability.

bump for gunner!!! one of my favourite clients :) he seem to be so polite and kind even on chat... then after a saw his pictures.. damn what the fuck he can break my bones :P! thats MUSCLES!!! i didn't expect that :)

Gunner is one of the best guys out there, Can't wait to hang olut with him in Vegas again

Here is a Bump for GUNNER :)

Gonna answer some more of these questions Gunner?

i'm going to have to have someone rough him up unless he gets back to work here :2 cents:

I was home from the Army and out with some buddies at a party. Behind the house we were partying at was a power substation. The big electrical plant looking things that supply electricity to a whole area of town. You see them surrounded by fencing with barbed wire, "DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE" and "KEEP OUT" signs. Something like this

I decided to climb the fence and scale to the top of the scaffold support structure and then proceeded to bear hug a high voltage transformer. It shocked me with about 100x the voltage of a regular power line, and luckily it blew me off backwards instead of killing me.

When I woke up hours later, I was in the burn unit surrounded by nurses and doctors covered in white, tending to the 3rd degree burns over most of my chest and arms. I was pumped full of morphine and covered in bandages for about a week, then spent another few days before they sent me home for another month of recovery.

Undoubtedly it was the most physically painful and by far the dumbest thing I've done in my entire life, but what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger.

this is tricky - trying to finish my Ambush while I'm in Vegas at the show.

Back To Work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

made a good read :)

bump bump bump it up!

I took summer school and extra classes so that I could finish up all my high school credits by the middle of my senior year. This allowed me to leave in Jan. to go off to Army basic training. While everyone else was at their graduation cerememony in May, I had already started my AIT (Advanced Individual Training) in Ft. Gordon, GA.

I was very fortunate that my military career was fairly uneventful in terms of actual combat. We got activated for the Bosnian confilict, but at the last minute the orders came for us to stand down and we never did get reactivated.

After I got out of the active duty Army, I spent time in the Army National Guard and while I was in the Army Reserves, I went to Drill Sergeant school.

560 is my crrent personal best

Holy Shit! :eyecrazy

My time in the Army as an M60 machine gunner. You have the "gunner" and the "A-gunner" (assistant gunner). Just a nickname I'd had before and decided to use it when I came into the industry.

Gunner is one of the most genuine people I have ever met in this business and I am proud to call him a friend as well. ATK was lucky to grab him.

I finally got to meet Gunner at this last show, and I must say he's a wonderful guy! Great interview Sleazy, I will look forward to getting to know him a little better! lol

Good hangin with u again in vegas

I grew my sideburns out for a while, really long "pork chop" style. I was also wearing a pompadour hair style - very 50s retro, since rockabilly/psychobilly music is one of my likes... I'll get to that in your Reverend Horton Heat question.

Yea I do love eating, although I don't think it's technically considered a sport.
Anyone who has eaten a few meals in my presence will tell you I can take the eating experience to a whole new level. I truly enjoy food and all the pleasure it brings.

My favorite actual sports are powerlifting and strongman.

You play a pretty strong hand at being a great guy as well mate.

:winkwink:

Gunner it was Great to See you out in Vegas...I look forward to the rest of the answers

Cheers

2 of my favorite bands, although I'm really big into music, so it's hard to pick only 2.

I think Gunners arms are bigger then my neck, maybe my waist :1orglaugh

Holy Shit! We have so much in common!!!

;)

I just have to say that the vision of you in the elevator late night after the players ball, with your pink outfit and matching dates was...humbling. I bow to your style, sir.

Always a treat to see you.

:thumbsup I look forward to them:pimp

It was at the New Orleans show in 2000, which was Barry and Hazel's first show and mine as well. They had a booth and I was walking the show floor with my partner at the time when we stopped to talk to them and it all started.

I ran a cam studio with anywhere from 2-6 live cam rooms. My partner handled all the tech stuff and I handled everything else. So initially, we were just providing Spread4U with cam models as a studio, but it eventually grew into much more and I left the cam studio to go to work for Barry and Hazel full-time.

If I'm not mistaken, I've got Gunner on my ICQ list. Think we added eachother after meeting at the Phx Forum last year.

I remember standing beside him and saying to myself : "Ya, I can take this guy and make him my bitch without breaking a sweat" :)

holy SHIT thats a huge GUT!

It's true that Gunner is not actually a competitive eater but he holds a few unofficial world records nonetheless. His best events are ice cream powerlifting and the 100 meter buffet. Here are pictures from some his workouts:

You should feel partly responsible for my gluttony!

I had many wonderful meals compliments of WebcamCash.

I had a brand new truck and a $550/month payment to go along with it for two years and said enough is enough. I started investing that money and bought a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee to have as my daily driver.

It's in the garage for the winter, but I also have a completely restored 1977 Ford F250 High Boy.
