In an idea-theft from Jaquandor (though to be fair to myself, he also got it from elsewhere), here are ten things I've done that I'd be willing to bet a million Monopoly dollars that you haven't:
- I stole a pair of chopsticks from just about every restaurant I visited when I was in China for two weeks in 1989. I still have most of them.
- For that matter, I've walked the Great Wall of China. Beat that!!
- I once had the ability to drink a pint of beer followed in rapid succession by a bottle of beer in a total of 10 seconds. This falls under the category of 'What I Learned in University'.
- I've driven 22 hours straight from Calgary, Alberta to Las Vegas, Nevada down Interstate 15. In a motorhome.
- Celebrated New Year's Eve, 1999, on the Las Vegas strip with a couple hundred thousand of my closest friends. We partied like it was 1999. I was sotally tober. (And if anyone from that actual trip happens to read this, I'll have to change this entry.)
- Once had puke rained down on me from two girls dangling in the car above mine on a ferris wheel.
- Had the extreme tip of my right thumb lopped off by having it caught in the chain of an exercise bike. It was dangling by a bit of skin and was sewn back on. My mother and two nurses had to hold me down so the doctor could give me a needle right in the joint between thumb and forefinger. THAT hurt!
- I've donated blood 39 times. That's enough to completely drain my body three times over.
- I once shouted the lyrics to 'God Bless America' at the top of my lungs in a room full of strangers in Lake Tahoe.
- I ate at a restaurant where dinner for four ended up costing over $500 US. We then went for a night-time helicoptor ride.
Good times.
I can't even come up with a single thing. My life is boring, man. Scalzi's list was, by far, the best one.
