    We decided to revive BS Forum right? Enough with the stupid political threads. Let's do a little BS.

    Remember your childhooed/teenage years? Hormones are running fast in your blood. You hate the world, you think you are better than everybody else :)

    What was your dream back then and did you achieve it?

    Mine was simple. Being born to a poor family in Turkey, my goal was to be able to own a Mercedes one day. I did it around 15 years ago. And then I told myself what a stupid dream. I sold it after 2 years, got myself a Honda and still driving it. After 13 years, my Honda is still running strong. :)

    So what was your childhood dream and did you achieve it? if so, what was it?

    Mine was to marry my high school girlfriend. It took 35 years and a divorce, but I finally married her last December. Happiest I've ever been.

    It must be pretty cool to have the same dreams as Joe Willie.

    Always wanted to drive a Locomotive. Yep, drive a train. P***y was always easy to come by. Going to a co-ed catholic HS had its advantages... :)

    Picked this one up recently.

    Sadly... I've never owned a Honda. :confused:

    I wanted to be Indiana Jones when I was a kid.

    I was on a recon team in Iraq in 2003, and we got to see a lot of super ancient stuff that was booby trapped. So, kinda? Mostly not.

    As a kid I really enjoyed the TV show Petrocelli and thought yep I'll become an attorney. Pretty big ask for a working class kid from my home town. Turned out I did not get the grades to study law and never learnt to build my own house either ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    Like many kids in New York, I wanted to play shortstop for the Mets. Buddy Harrelson was my hero.
    Two blown knees later, the dream was just wisps of smoke.
    Twenty years later I joined the Mariners organization and spent 3 seasons as a coach/instructor for the Rookie League team. That was as close as i got, but to be back "in the game" after all that time was awesome. Alas, another 25 years has passed since then.

    Probably better than being an attorney (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)
