2. What would be a greater fantasy for you: Hitting a walkoff homer for your Sox in game 7 of an ALCS vs the Yanks or 5 minutes in the sack with Jessica Alba?

1cheater · Mar 2, 2008

May as well pile on:

1 Does your personal life ever get affected by your work here.

2 Do you enjoy what you do?

3 How many hours a week do you put into this crazyness?

I think you do a great job walking a very fine line here, you can't be everyone's friend.

End of story right there. The BS factor is probably more than anyone realizes, actually-I'm almost certatin that it is.

teazeman · Mar 2, 2008

1. are you suprised more people don't recognize your sense of humor?

2. any posters impress you as being "sharp"

3. poker player?

4. one thing you would change about yourself?

5. strangest food you've eaten?

FairWarning · Mar 2, 2008

16. watching sports, rooting for Red Sox, reading fiction.

I remember when Red Sox and fiction were one and the same. Now its just us Cub fans.

1. A little bit but at my age not so much like it would if I was younger.
2. Absolutely.
3. A lot - although I was ordered by Marty and Rick about 18
months ago to make sure I take two days off a week.
Days I work - I log on at 5AM EST and open the Board Room and hang around online until 10PM EST (17 hours) but it is not as bad as it
sounds because it is more like babysitting. I watch the
site like you would watch someone you were taking care of.
Sometimes (like trivia time) I get more involved in interacting
with posters. Other times I watch TV and keep a eye ne new emails and
developments on the different forums periodically.

Thanks for the kind words, wil..

Timetopay · Mar 2, 2008

1.other jobs you have had

2. can u speak italian and if so can we communicate on here in italian

3. are you glad u are out of the states and in cr

4. Is Journey stiffing TT all this time the worst stiff job you have seen on the boards

wilheim · Mar 2, 2008

Teazeman.

1. Not really - I write it off to the generation gap.

2. No - I learned a long time ago I am not a good poker player.
Got in the a game with some good players in Vegas and realised I had no idea what anyone else might remotely have for cards. Cost me around $300 which was a cheap lesson and have not played serious poker since.

3. I would like to lose around 30 pounds. As a person I would
like to be more sensitive to the feelings of others.

4. My own home made Steak Tartar - made with an old fashioned iron meat grinder back in my drinking days. Exotic recipe - although I didn't use the birds or dove eggs #1cheater# uses.

Thanks, wil.

1. I was a bartender for 20 years and loved it. Talked sports trivia
all day and I could always have a drink in the only two jobs
I had during the 20 years. Always made good $ also. Worked in this business for the last 25 or so years maybe longer because the two careers overlapped.

3. My Italian just consists of street profanity. Ba Fongole etc.

3. I miss the states sometime but not much (mainly the TV channels available although CR cable is getting better).

4. I have seen worse stiff jobs as far as dollar amounts go but never one as despicable as what Jm did to TT after he trusted him.

Thanks, wil..

quantumleap · Mar 2, 2008

wil, a couple questions: If they are too personal feel free to disregard.

1.) What one thing would you like readers of theRX to know about the war in Vietnam?

2.) What is your favorite Italian restaurant in the North End of Boston?

Thanks in advance.

wilheim · Mar 2, 2008

Regarding Viet Nam I wish more young people today would understand what a huge difference in receptions Vietnam combat vets faced when they came home compared to the totally appropriate and well deserved hero's welcome most Iraq War vets receive when they return home today.

I don't resent the brave soldiers that put their lives on the line in this day and age. I just resent the way us VietNam vets were treated back in the late 60's and early 70's when we returned home.

We were treated like criminals or baby killers back then and not given credit for standing up and fighting for our country no matter how politically wrong the entire war was. Many vets from that era are much more bitter than I am about this issue.

Boston food.

These days there is a place called Terramia in Boston's North End that has fabulous Italian food. Highly recomended.

In my younger days I loved to visit another North End Italian restaurant called Giro's that was near the old Boston Garden in North Station. They had great veal parmagiana. I would visit Giro's after many a Bruins and Celtic game if I was with a date.

Out with the guys for games at Fenway or the Garden was another story. First it was the game, then the Combat Zone and some bar hopping and fiinally (shit faced by then) Chinatown for a late 3AM dinner of Chinese food. Chinatown was adjacent to the old Combat Zone around Boston's famous South Station.

Wil..is it true what I heard from 2 reliable sources that you turned down the leading role in

that was offered to you due to your vast War experience in Vietnam...and they had to settle on Arnold for the film??

wilheim · Mar 2, 2008

Wrong movie Dante..

I just missed landing the lead in:

HisIsTheHand · Mar 2, 2008

Thank you for your service to our country Wil :103631605

I'm were I'm at today because of your sacrifices.

I don't think many here really understand that

wilheim · Mar 2, 2008

His Is The Hand

I appreciate the sentiment and thank you but sadly if we had never set foot in VietNam (I say this now with the assistance of 20/20 hindsight) to begin with we all would still have the very same freedoms we have today and 55,000 young Amreican soldiers would not have died for basically nothing.

I know that sounds harsh but without starting a debate here in the Offshore Forum about whether or not we should have went to war in VietNam, I truly believe in the end we did nothing to help the people of Vietnam nor anything to stop the dreaded at the time growth of world wide communisim. Which supposedly was the reason for waging the war or as they say in the history books conflict in the first place.

Call it what you want, conflict, police action, defeating a belligerency, or disposing of a rouge government (eg. Saddam Hussein). War is war and there is nothing good about it.
