Postal

DM inspired post –

Well sort of if you read his blog this morning you will notice his post about guns and got me thinking about a school friend of mine. Chris Muller. Now Chris was one of these mofo’s that could make anything. At 15 he had built his own Jeep out of an old WWII Willys Jeep. Complete with massive tyres and 7ltr V8. I should also point out this dude was Gun mad and a hunter. I also believe, and this is true, that he started the free running crazy. You see he used be able to run up walls and at lunch would line 4 or 5 people up against a wall and then run over the top of them using the wall and that was 1987……anyway

Anyway there we were 15 year old and in the technical stream at school. We enter our fitting and turning (no not Dornorn dancing, metal work) placement. The standard assignment is handed out. Make something nice out of metal. Everyone went for the standard make a dice on a stand thingy, but not Chris. No this guy made fully working miniature cannon. This thing actually fired ball bearings so hard that when they hit the concrete wall they would flatten.

On another occasion, on my first visit back to South Africa, we (School friends although we were older now about 20) went to a club. The doorman stops me and asks me if I have any firearms. To which laughed and said no. Anyway Chris, who we had been with all day, Pulls out a desert eagle from under his jacket but wait he then produced 2 smaller guns from his ankles.

That is one person not to piss off.
