Friend of the Day: Johnny Dangerously

Of Course that's not his real name, this is just what he's known as, being a CIA Operative.Please take a moment to visit my previous Friends of the Day, and glimpse over that Disclaimer will ya'.

This is MY take on MY friends and any non sensical silliness that is beyond your grasp is no fault of mine!

When it comes to John, I really couldn't remember the first time I met him.

Like Aaron, John went to college with my husband and there was one night that Kevin took me over by our friends Jeff and Jessica's apartment for a group dinner

(You'll meet Jeff and Jess later) and I couldn't remember if Johnny was there or not.

I think he was, so I'll go with that time as being the first we'd met.

Correct me if I'm wrong though John.

Jonh has always been in my eyes that guy you think,

"Wow, he's really great. He'd be perfect for _insert name of a single girlfriend _"

But then I thought "Why would I do that to him?" I've never been a matchmaker, I'd been too busy looking for my match. Besides, ever since Kelly and Aaron hooked up, I take no responsibility for any of that mess. Just cause they worked out, doesn't mean everyone else would.

But John really is great. Your inquiring minds are asking Why???

Well, John is a very sucessful business owner,

yes the CEO of CHIP CONNECTION,

"For all your computer needs" - Both business and residential.

We always tell him he's got a prick for boss though.

John helped me out a few years ago with my computer needs.

I wanted to make a professional newspaper about my husband for his birthday.

I recruited all of our friends and family to become journalists, reporters and illustrators and it was John that truely helped shape the project. He came over and helped me

(for HOURS) format this paper on the computer, and then showed me how to HIDE it in the computer so Kevin couldn't accidentally come across it. The paper was awesome! Thanks John!

So for all of you guys out there that need to formulate a new way to hide your computer porn so your wives and girlfriends (in that order) can't find it...Call John!

Also, John is very worldly. He's knowledgeable and sensitive to other cultures

(except Canadians now)

John traveled to Belieze a few years ago, and it was just great to pick his brain after he came back, because Belieze was ALWAYS somewhere I wanted to go to see the rainforests.

*Only home to the Capyberra, worlds largest rodent*

And most recently, John shared a great honor with us, his most cherished friends.

John won the right to partake in our Baseball team, The Milwaukee Brewers, signature mascot "Sausage Race".

To keep it fair, he had everyone pick a number, and then, nerd that he is, had a computer program randomly select 3 numbers to determine who would be in the Sausage Race with him during the Brewer Game. Oddly enough, our two friends,Dan and Andrea

(you'll meet them later too) who happened to be married to each other, both won, and Johns

other friend Patty. I was calling her sausage patty.

They were our fantastic four, and you have to understand, with the Brewers, most people go to the game JUST to see the sausage racers.

On the left: John, Dan & Andrea gearing up for the race,

Center photo from left to right : Patty was the Hot dog, Andrea was the Brat, John was the Polish Sausage, and Dan was the Italian.

Of course John won the race! GO POLISH!!!!

There is one other race that John participates in every year. It is a bike race in Death Valley that benifits the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

John lives with Diabetes, and though we makes jokes sometimes, it is a very serious thing that John takes in stride.

When I say we make jokes, this goes back to a party our friends, Dan & Andrea had (again,people you'll meet very soon too) and we were all out in their yard hitting around a volleyball.
Now John is athletic when it comes to some things (drinking Guiness, or playstation) but not too much with volleyball. Well after a few times of shanking the ball, everyone started bustin' his chops about it. So I intervened and said- very theatatriclly, "Leave John alone, poor guy's a diabetic and he never learned to read!", a line I stole from the movie Waynes World.
So from then on it became a running joke that Diabetics were illiterate. Of course it was all in good fun, because we all still understood that this was a very serious disease for someone to have to live with.

Anyway, back to the bike race in Death Valley. John is raising money for the race, which is pretty serious. C'mon, how couldn't it be? Who would do a "light hearted bike ride" through DEATH VALLEY???

Here is the link for the race so any interested individuals can find out more info about the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and how to donate for the cause
What John, and many others, are doing is so commendable. And he is still trying to reach his fundraising goal before he leaves for Death Valley on thursday 10/20/05

Plus, Johnny and I just discussed the topic of "ass implants", as he feels he'll need them for next years race. He is convinced that bike seats are carefully engineered torture devices.

So PLEASE DONATE FOR JOHN'S SORE ASS AND THE HUNDREDS OF SORE DIABETIC ASSES THAT WILL EMBARK ON THIS EPIC JOURNEY THROUGH DEATH VALLEY TO IRRADICATE THIS DISEASE THAT MILLIONS LIVE WITH UNECESSARILY.
