Anything in your past qualify as a tabloid topic?

With people now buying trips into space, NASA has recently issued a new criteria to weed out folks of questionable character.....seems they don't want anyone that might make the front pages of the supermarket tabloids...Would you pass NASA's background check?....or is there something you've done that the National Enquirer might like to know?....."Inqiring minds want to know".....(you can tell us, it won't go any further)

    I was wondering if Judge Dread was really from another planet just here to syphon off information for his world....

    One time I worked briefly for a PR agency and took an interview with Michael Reagan with the idea of being assigned as his personal PR agent. I was supposedly subject to a Secret Service background check. When my boss asked me about my habits I told him I didn't drink, which concerned him because he wanted me to be able to socialize with the guys informally. Michael Reagan hadn't been asked by my boss if he WANTED a publicity agent with him all the time, and he nixed the idea. Whether the BG check ever went forward or was completed I don't know, but I wasn't rejected on that basis, and have nothing the tabloids would find of interest, that I can think of, even if I were to become famous, which isn't likely.I suppose we could all do a Freedom of Information Act check for files with the government, to see what they think.... But I do have a carry permit, so in a way I'm one of the minority of Americans who has a document proving my background is clean!

    Rem,The question is moot; I don't fly NASA anymore.When I need to get into space, I just call Judge Dread and he gives me a ride in his flying saucer.

    Hmmmm....it could be mildly incriminating. At the age of 16 I took some friends on an afternoon drive and pulled into a Burger King parking lot with a VERY large stuffed bear in tow. Upon entering the parking lot, I placed the bear in the driver's seat and operated the gas pedal, the brake pedal and the steering wheel from the passenger side. We then proceeded through the drive-thru and ordered a few honey packets. I can see it now! "Stuffed Bear comes to life and orders honey in fast food drive-thru!"Needless to say, I've mellowed out since then. I can't think of anything else that would qualify.

    As a teenager I once had a Holstein 4H show calf drag me through the pasture (cow pies and thistles)....of course the tabloid headlines might read..."Half boy-half cow streaks thru countryside stinking up neigborhood"
