Most Hilarious conversation I've ever had & added bonus, history of Jester !

I was talking to another explorer on msn last night and it just blew my mind. I won't say who it was, but I will share some of the explorer's cutting edge insights...

*Explorer* seems to think that I'm worshipped by all of UER. I almost peed myself when I heard that, sure I get some respect for being an experienced explorer (as do a lot of explorers), but i'm also in a tie for most hated moderator here, so that notion seems really screwed up to me.

Next, *Explorer* went through telling me how he doesn't believe anything about any explorations I did before coming online, because I have no pictures. Well, sad fact was, I didn't take pictures then, I only started after discovering there were people to show the pictures to that would understand. Up until finding out there were other explorers out there, it seemed I was the only one. There are probably about a dozen pictures of me in total, from age 10 till my 20's...

*Explorer* went on to say that he didn't even believe there were other Wraiths, except for myself and Pixie. That he thinks they were all made up by me and any pictures were myself and pixie trying to look like different people... though he did say that maybe the newer wraiths (Viper, Wolfman, and Charlie) might be real).

*Explorer* then told me that he believes i'm delusional and in need of psychiatric help, medication and counselling. That everything i've done, is not real (unless there are pictures taken, it can't be real). I have honestly never spoken to anyone quite so unbalanced as this *Explorer*.

Jester history

*Explorer* can't grasp the idea that other people have had other experiences and different upbringings. I first remember being taken exploring around age 7 by my parents. They were travelling musicians, so we were on the road every week, rarely did we settle anywhere. My father is a jack of all trades, with skills to be an electrician, carpenter, plumber, mechanic, locksmith, as well as musician. Around age 9, we were in some town where they were performing at the local bar, and for some reason it seemed like the hotel wasn't going to pay them. So my father, in the middle of the night, brought me, and went down into the closed office of the hotel, picking the locks to get in, and then proceeded to crack the safe. Now this was 20 years ago, and I have no idea of the quality of the safe, I doubt he could do something like that on current safes, but then he did it. Checked to see if there was money to cover their wages so if the place stiffed them, he planned on going and taking his pay. The bar paid, so it ended up being pointless, but does demonstrate part of the weird upbringing I had.

I was exploring solo by around age 12, around which time we were living in Florida (Land O lakes, we also lived in Tampa when I was 8 or so as well)), essentially we lived in a swamp. Anyone that's been in the back country in Florida understands that there are quite a few gators around when you live in swampland areas. I've done some really stupid things as a kid, one of which was swimming in water with an alligator in sight, something I did several times actually. Where we lived, the neighbors had said there was an old house in the swamp around there, so I started paddling our friend's canoe around looking for it. It wasn't easy to find, but eventually I did find it. Sunken into the swampland so the bottom level was partially covered in water. The only way I could see to go inside was a second floor window, but I'd need to tie my canoe and wade/swim a little ways to get to the spot to climb up. There was an alligator, probably 30 feet away or so, just sitting there. I watched it for awhile and then decided to get in the water and go for the spot to climb. that's a pretty stupid thing to do, I'm sure I wouldn't do something like that now, but the wisdom of a 12 year old isn't always great.

So I hopped in and got over to the spot to climb up, climbed up and in, looked around the top floor (stairs were gone and I was at least smart enough not to try going down there and possibly not being able to get back out). It was honestly a boring exploration, totally not worth the effort and risk. Coming out, the gator was gone. Which made me wonder if he was submerged, waiting... So I sat there in the windowsill for probably a half hour, and no sign of the gator. So I started to climb down the chunks of wood i'd climbed up. A piece broke and I fell into the water. I freaked out, worried the gator would get me. The water wasnt deep and I got back to the canoe no problem and left.

When I was around 16, my parents and I lived on a boat. At the same marina, on the outside dock was a 110' old wooden ship. It was neglected and it started to take on water. That can take time, and it was like that for days, getting worse slowly. So one night after dark, I went over to it and inside. Explored all over, including having to go through almost chest deep water (of course chest deep on me isn't all that deep...) in the lower compartments. Nothing interesting really, coffee cans full of nuts and bolts, rusty stuff, not really a great exploration. The ship went down a couple of days later, taking part of the dock with it. It was pretty stupid of me to explore a ship in that condition, and again, probably wouldn't do so now.


I found it ironically funny that *Explorer* thinks the things I've done are too hardcore and movie like to be real, and yet a couple of months ago I got to explore with an explorer from Eastern canada that was out this way, who makes what I've done look like i'm a pansy. Can't say who he is, because he doesn't put any explorations out for the public to see and keeps a very low profile, but some people do know who i'm talking about and know what I mean. So if *explorer* thinks i'm delusional based on what I've done, I guess this truly hardcore explorer from back east must be the biggest fruit loop on the planet...
