It wasn't that big of a deal to me where I thought enough about it to start an investigation and find a picture of Pat Tilman to interrogate her about it. If I thought I would have needed evidence of this happening 12 years after the fact, I would have taken better notes.

Maybe it was [censored]ing Tarzan??

Just in case you're wondering Gator, I also don't have fingerprints or DNA to prove it either so no need to ask.

Listen, I was merely asking if your girlfriend ever saw a picture of the real Tilman and said "that was him". Since he has always been a famous guy, and assuming for the sake of argument that your girl friends are not used to getting packages laid on their knees, it is not unreasonable to think that there might of been some small attempt on her part to find out who did that, like - "OMG Reag - that really was Tilman who put his much bigger junk than yours on my knee!!!"

If not, no biggie. My initial thought was that your girlfriend's story was valid, but you have successfully talked me out of it.

Thanx for the laughs guys. I knew Pat too well to have gotten pi$$ed.

The "anti-Chris" - I like that. Some of the family and I are concerned that Krakauer will try painting a poster-boy fantasy picture of Pat like DoD tried to do but I'll save all that for after the book comes out.

I wasn't impressed when Krakauer interviewed me. It seemed he had his own agenda. I'll post my book review on my tribute site Calabashe tribute to Pat Tillman | MySpace and on both Pat's and Krakauer's IMDb pages.

Pat would say he wasn't really a hero either but IMHO his ultimate sacrifice help bring down one of the most incompetent war-lords this country has ever seen. And yes - I too believe it was a Special-Ops hit. Another debate brewing?

We never spoke of it again after that night, so whether she verified through photos or television if it was really him at a later date, I have no idea. I doubt she did because neither one of us was losing sleep over it.

Did I talk you out of believing it because I mentioned Tarzan might have done it?

Tilman probably did have bigger junk than me. They don't call me "Lil' Smokie" for nothing!

True enough, normally, for many someones else. But Pat had rules for interactions and Pat's rule #2 was; Always be respectful and discreet with your partner(s). I think, always, always, ALWAYs use a condom was somewhere between 10 & 15. If you think with the big head the little head will get taken care of, was also in there somewhere.

Pat also had like a 3 beer limit and if you know anything about Guiness, you know you can't drink much more than that. Pat didn't do drunk. He had a natural ongoing high.

:slappy:

Pat's Rules:

  1. The Lord loves a workin' man.
  2. Always be respectful and discreet with your partner(s).
  3. No more than three beers.
  4. Don't trust whitey.
  5. Don't eat yellow snow.
  6. Don't fruit the beer.
  7. No fatties.
  8. No cockblocking
  9. If you think with the big head the little head will get taken care of.
  10. Always, always, ALWAYs use a condom.
Now I'm sad that this book couldn't have been an autobiography.

Not quite Leroy Jethro, huh?

Actually I can quote the first 5. After that I'm not sure of the order.

But you forgot: Never set your crotch on a strange woman's knee.

Concerning the book ...

Krakauer interviewed me around the middle of June '08. To me it felt something like a courtesy call. I didn't fawn. I summed up what background I had and asked if he could send me two journal entries that I know involved me. I was dismissed.

Two weeks later the original book was pulled and I never heard from Krakauer again.

I've seen him often in my dreams of Pat but I know that kind of stuff doesn't count. I'm picking up controversey.

Guessing we'll know in about 2 weeks.

On Pat's IMDb blog page there's a lengthy exchange between myself and Horatiohellpop. I suspect it was Krakauer.
