At the risk of surrendering my man card, would a well known poem be permitted? If so the one below would be my entry. If not the video below it will do,
The Road Not Taken
BY ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The first person I thought of was...
It's probably more like...
BUT, BUT! Shifty Morgan is as bald as an egg. LOL!
Ok, fine, I guess I'll play, throw my hat in the ring, and pays my money:
John Wick.
What do I win?

Steed, John Steed. Why ? Honor Blackman (Cathy Gale), Dianna Rigg (Emma Peel).......Gawd, what a no-brainer.
When I was in college, I worked as a Union Stagehand. I was on the Props crew for the musical "Colette" at the 5th Avenue Theater, which starred my adolescent crush, one Ms. Dianna Rigg. My job ? to stand in the offstage left wings, holding EMMA PEEL'S bathrobe for the finale when she came running offstage, straight at me, wearing nothing from the waist up. Talk about a dream job. I think they paid me too, but I'm not sure. Wouldn't have mattered anyway. Monumentally epic moment(s). The show ran for two, blissfully, wonderful weeks. In all seriousness, she was and is a stupendous person. Class and grace all the way. Oh, Honor Blackman, Goldfinger, Pussy Galore. Enough said. I was 7 years old and named my first cat after her (Pussy Galore). I could never figure out why my parents and their friends would break out in hysterical laughter whenever I called that cat.

No fair... that second picture really is you!

AND,,,,,,,,Loving It!!!!
I can still hear that clearly, just like it was yesterday.
Chuck Yeager... only because I built and test flew my own aircraft. I wiser and smarter these days;-)
Sirh - these are scanned images from photographs - 1996. I was based out of Caldwel Idaho back then. Didn't own a digital camera until around 2007.
Sold the plane after moving back to Wisconsin. After several years of backcountry and mountain flying it just wasn't the same.
It's power by a souped-up Lycoming O-360 (200 HP). Flying a light (1050 lbs.) powerful stick & rudder aircraft into backcountry is an experience I will never forget.

Well, I liked to think of myself as Spock (Mr., not Dr....), but I guess I'm really a lot more like Gomer Pyle...
The first plane I ever flew in was a Piper Cub. I was about 12. The plane belonged to the local CAP. The pilot actually landed it on a field here at Schloss Nitrocellulose (my boyhood home) and took off again so my folks could see me... in a plane! It was an awesome experience. I always thought that if I ever caught the flying bug (I haven't) that the only plane I would ever want would be a Piper Cub! Or a great facsimile thereof... which is what your picture appears to be!
Awesome. Very, very impressed!
Cheers,
Sirhr
Thanks Sirh. After a long test flight at full power, required to break in rebuilt engine, I was so relieved/happy that I relaxed aft pressure on the stick during landing roll out and damn near ground looped it. Many more flight adventures, with great pilot buddies, I'll never forget.

John Wayne..
My Mother is a huge John Wayne Fan and when I was born at 12lbs 9oz my mother decided to name me Jacob, from the movie Big Jake, starring John Wayne as Jacob McCandles. Now you all know the truth behind my Username..

THAT is cool! Most of us of a certain generation probably had fathers who were fans of the Duke, but for your mother to name you after a character is epic. My gf had never seen Big Jake, so we watched it last week. I'm slowly getting her caught up on 'Merica.
How I see myself
How 1J sees me
How everybody else sees me
It's even more awesome than that. Sea? lol

MLB Invincible FTW!
That's an interesting and obscure bit of history you found there. https://www.uscg.mil/history/cutters/boats/docs/52FootSteelHulledMLB.pdf
That's Old School right there Skipper. Awesome as hell MLB's during that time. I'm not saying you're awesome though. I'm not.
