I am probably the only one who ever repeatedly turned down offers from Ernest Tubb to drink directly from his bottle of gin that he kept tucked down in his cowboy boot.

... until age 16 or so truly believed that Mt. Rushmore was a naturally occurring phenomena- carved over time by wind and erosion.

I love it!

I would like to hear the story of how you found out the horrible truth.

wasn't particularly storyable unfortunately.  more like a gradual realization that came from actually seeing photos of it combined with a waning adherence to the notion of Manifest Destiny.

except I wouldn't have turned him down, even though I hate gin.

I bet I'm the only one whose family had Ron Jeremy over for Christmas dinner when I was 9 years old (Laurie?).
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Little did you know, this was not Ron Jeremy's first visit to the Grote household. No... Ron Jeremy had been there 9 years and 9 months before...

A rude question more suitable for FOTchan could be posed here.

Haha.  Where did you even get that pic?

My actual biological father (who I met at age 24) is only a little less embarrassing than Ron Jeremy:



The real story, which I've probably told here before (Josh?): my stepdad's crazy twin sister (aka my aunt) was dating Ron from like 1979-81, after he had started his porn career but before he was really famous.  There were many weird conversations about this that I was shut out of, but only partially. 

A few years after this, I was with a bunch of other 15-year-old boys, one of whom had raided his dad's porn collection, and lo and behold, Ron comes onscreen and we all have the same reaction that everyone does when they first see him in flagrante delicto, and I'm sitting there thinking, "this guy is a friend of the family or something."  I have the good sense to keep my mouth shut, lest this follow me through the rest of high school, plus I wasn't entirely sure.  Then about 5 years ago, now that Uncle Ron is a "legitimate" celeb and my siblings are all pretty much grown, my mom tells us all the story, finally confirming it.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Hahaha, that's great. And that pic comes up first in google image search - you're pretty famous! (A hilarious pencil sketch of you also pops up)
