I have never cooked a non-scrambled egg. I have never built a model using glue or paint (I always built the snap-together prepainted ones, because I’m lazy.) I have never watched an entire tennis match. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by The Calculus of Logic \* > \*\*Gone on a date \*\* Actually dates may be non-boring; I believe I’ve heard it claimed that the whole point of going on a date is that it may turn out to be interesting. 🙂 If you are lucky, you may even _get_ lucky, in which case the result may be disappointing but certainly not boring. ---

This might be a good game: rating _How boring are you?_ - I’ve never had sex on a Ferris wheel (though that question probably wouldn’t make the cut? - I’ve never flipped a deck of cards from the bed Here’s what I’ve never done: \*\* Never made potato salad. ---

I’ve never played a real game of golf (though I have driven a golf cart). I’ve never killed a deer (though I’ve killed other furry little creatures with big brown eyes and felt guilty for it). I’ve never attended a college or professional football, baseball, or otherball game (though I did go to a high school football game once). ---
