Yes, probably. It was getting kinda dark but I think so. Have you ever spent more than $200 shopping at Wal Mart? ---

Oh, hell yea. Hate it, but sometimes you need stuff. Have you ever believed in a myth, like Bigfoot or the Loch ness monster? ---

Not since I was a wee small lad. Have you ever skipped a dental appointment? ---

Never on purpose Have you ever made/posted a YouTube video? ---

Yes, I had to be out of town on a work day when I was supposed to make a presentation. So I made a Youtube video, emailed the link and had a co-worker show it. Have you ever eaten buffalo/bison? (and did you like it?) ---

Yes. Years ago, I lived near a burger-and-beer place. One of the items on the menu was a buffalo burger. I had one from time to time; it was kind of like beef, but with a little more flavour. Yes, I liked it. Have you ever joined a bowling league? ---

Yes, I was a bowler in a league for 3 years when lived in the UP of Michigan. I was probably the weak link on our team, but I had fun. Have you ever been in the ICU? ---

Yes, but not as a patient. Many years ago, a friend suffered a horrific accident, and they made an exception to the “family only” rule, just in case, so a few of us visited her in the ICU. I’m glad to report that my friend eventually recovered after a long period of time in the hospital, but was left a paraplegic. Have you ever an operation which required a general anesthetic? ---

Yes, for my hernia surgery back in '91. Have you ever worked for a newspaper in any capacity? ---

Yes. If you count one day of work through a temp agency that assigned me to a newspaper stuffing Sunday ad circulars. Have you ever dressed up as Santa (Mr or Mrs) or one of the elves? ---

No, but I have several friends who did. HYE heard Hilary Hahn play Bach, either in person or in a recording?: [Bach Partita No.2 in D minor BWV 1004 - Hilary Hahn 432Hz - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mSnmM0nlzk) ---

Yes, I’ve heard her recordings; here’s one (not Bach) that I like: [Hilary Hahn - V. Williams "The Lark Ascending" - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOWN5fQnzGk) Violinists I’ve heard live include Midori, Joshua Bell, Pinchas Zukerman and Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg. Have you ever walked or run 5 miles or more? ---

Yes. When I was maybe 12 or so, we vacationed at a place up north. The local town was about 7 miles away, but it didn’t seem that far when we took the car. One day, I decided to go to town, and set off on foot. It was longer than I thought, but I kept going. I got to town, but had to call my (very worried) parents to pick me up. Have you ever driven 500 miles (or so) in a single day? ---

Yep. Here (western PA) to Hilton Head is about 700 miles. Brutal drive right after work. Once on arrival I was stretching/groaning. A woman approached me, commiserating. Turns out she was complaining about the limo ride from the airport. Have you ever called 911? ---

No, but a neighbor called 911 for me when she saw a drug-addled teen casually take my lawn mower from my garage one day. Then she ran to my house and told me about it. I had just finished cutting the grass and was sitting on the patio with a cold adult beverage 🙂 Have you ever raised animals for food? ---

No. I’m sure I’d, er, chicken out. HYE named more than three chickens that you owned? ---

Yes, I have a pen full right now. My girls all have names. Sometimes they cluck back when I call their names at roll-call.😉 Have you ever grown a kitchen garden, and succeeded in making a meal from it, not buying groceries for the meal? ---

Almost. We have a garden with tomatoes and peppers, but that’s not quite a meal’s worth. Have you ever seen a meteor shower? ---

Yes, and I was truly underwhelmed by the experience. Have you ever butchered an animal and ate it (or ate an animal a family member butchered)? ---

Yes, I sang “Sk8ter Boi” by Avril Lavigne. Have you ever flown in a non-commercial jet aircraft? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-ever/807941.md?page=13) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-ever/807941.md?page=15)
