How I got my name...Or...the accent story.

Many, many moons ago, when I was a younger more callous man (around 20 yaers old, so 11 years or so ago), I was in the US Navy and interested in two things: Drinking and Women.

A good friend of mine (who I played D&D with), and I, were sitting in some little bar in Hong Kong, when these two american girls walk in.
Now we can tell they\'re two sailors from another ship in the battlegroup, and any american guy who walks up to them gets promptly put down.

So I look at my buddy and say, \"I bet you $50 I can get those girls over to our table.\"
He says, \"Right, they\'re turning down every american that comes their way.\"
I just smiled and he took the bet.

I walked over to the table and said in my best Austrailian accent (Which is pretty darn good I might add) said, \"Excuse me ladies, but my friend at the table over there is an Englishman, and he says he would love to buy you a drink, because he thinks american women are the sexiest women in the world.\"
They said they\'d come to our table, so I hurried back over to my friend and told him. \"You\'re English.\"
\"Bloody right, old chap.\" He replied.

Anyway, a few minutes later the girls came over, and me and my buddy stayed in character all night.
After many drinks and much flirting, we ended up bringing them to a hotel room to ....be more intimate.

That night me and my buddy left, going back to our ship chuckling the whole way. He paid me the $50.

The story got around the ship and another one of my buddies laughed and said
\"You\'re evil, Dave.\"

Two months later we\'re in Jabal Ali in the enlisted club.
My buddy and I are sitting by the pool drinking, when who should walk by and do a double take...that\'s right the same two girls.

The one I had been with stops and says.
\"Hey aren\'t you that Austrailian guy I was with in Hong Kong?\"

I looked her straight in the eye and said, \"No, Rachel, I\'ve never met you before.\"
She was pissed, and started cussing me out.
I just told her, \"Hey, I wasn\'t good enough to sleep with as an american, you\'re the stupid one who got fooled by an accent\"

Anyway she ended up trying to get some guys from her ship to beat us up and when they heard the story they all laughed and bought us drinks.
It seems she was the type to use the fact that she was female to try to manipulate the guys and they thought it was funny that she got played.

So in the end it wasn\'t really evil at all. lol

Dave, what part of the navy were you in? Seals? Whenever I found myself in a little hole in the wall bar, if one of those guys was around, I always felt better. In the event of trouble, you knew that there was going to be a clear path out.

Nah,I was going to be in the SEALS, I just couldn\'t balance the ball on my nose.

I was a Sonar Tech, which was pretty useless in the gulf since you could see any submarines from the air, the water was so shallow and clear. So I spent a lot of my time as a gunner and Operator in the CIC.

Speaking of which one of my buddies was forced to drop out during Hell week in the Seals. He dislocated his shoulder and there is no healing time, so he just popped it back in and kept going...after 5 times of this happening they made him quit, only because they promised him he could come back when his shoulder healed.
He was a great guy to have around in Tiajuana. A guy pulled a knife on him once and he broke the guys arm in like 3 places, calmly picked up his beer, took a swig, and said. \"I\'m sorry guys, we gotta head back to the border now.\"lol

Oh, I must have insulted a ton, including my own.

Well, it was my trademark \"Generic euro accent\" I think I got a bit of french, possibly german, and a bit of vampire.

That must be the porno directors, because that was a perfect 1970\'s porn movie accent as well...;)

What always cracks me up is the fact that many Germans actually do speak English with a German accent, it\'s just nothing like the one so eagerly used to ridicule us ;) Oh, and by the way, because I saw that again just now, \"Freundin\" (Girlfriend) in German is actually female while \"Tisch\" (table) is male. Just to destroy the joke :p

Myself, I have on several occasions been told that I speak with a scottish accent. No idea why that could be, the closest I got to Scotland was Canterbury.
