My friend that I mentioned is not a guy that I care to argue with either - his brain runs at about ten times the cycle rate of an average person.
In his case, I guess I can be happy to say that I took a friend shooting. He's a shooter now, and I helped. I would hope that he will have some pull with his peeps where I haven't.
BTW, interesting story about this guy, who I won't mention by name. You've heard of "Goldberg", the pro rassler? He grew up here in my home town, and went to the same private Hebrew school as my friend. Goldberg was a year younger. The school put on a rasslin' tournament for the boys - my friend was in 1st grade and Goldberg in Kindgergarten or the equivalent of it. Turned out that my bud is the only human being who ever pinned Bill Goldberg.
I love to tell that story about him. If you could meet him you'd appreciate it.
I've known two Jewish wrestlers, one pro from decades ago, one college, but not "Goldberg". Sounds like a good story though.
