kilroy69 993 Posted May 24, 2020 Had a gust of wind rock the kayak and flip me today. Got my foot caught inside and almost drown. Lost my phone, My fishing rod and reel and got my key soaking wet. I was too tired to keep swimming so I drug my ass though 1,000 yards of reeds on my hand and knees to get to dry land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad she warned him off the wrong recreational activity. Last time I checked in on Artie, on the Joe Rogan podcast six months ago or so, he was 8 months sober and a reliable booking for shows.

It was an unfunny whinefest, the only funny part was the title. I kept waiting for it to get good. It never did and I threw it out when I was done. I wouldn’t even give it to someone else. Just mad I gave him a little bit of money for some more smack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As of six months ago, this was like his 13th attempt at getting sober. He can never stick to the regimen. But hope is eternal, he was back on the wagon, he'd gotten really far along, he was pushing a record for personal sobriety so... eh... I was wondering if you'd had an update with that. Still funny as hell. I don't know why his book flopped, you read it so would know better than me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do like he’s talking more trash about Howard. He brought up Dana Plato and how Howard treated her the day before she killed herself. Howard sat back and let callers go after her.

Voltaire 4,552 Posted May 24, 2020 I don't mean to hijack kilroy's thread, much like Artie, I'm glad you're not dead kilroy. That must have been pretty traumatic. I remember one time I went swimming on a hike while fording a river with my shoes on and... it wasn't but 30-40 yards, I'm not a great swimmer but I can do that easily (when I'm not wearing shoes.) I'd never tried to swim with my shoes on before nor ever again, I was about to take my shoes off, which I knew would have royally focked me over on the rest of the hike, but it was my only hope, when I got rescued. Rivers can be scary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivers can be scary. I had jeans and boots on. It was like swimming with a blanket on. I got to the reeds and every time I tried to step i fell through. So I literally crawled through reeds on my hands and knees. when my kayak flipped my tackle box pinned my foot inside and for a few seconds I was sinking down and facing up. I literally thought....so this is it. Just fuckinngg great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
