No. But I can’t believe that I actually did it once in Mom’s car in view of a house! 20 feet away. Looked safe, then I was astonished that I took that chance.
Have you ever went to a pro wrestling event? Who? (oh, was that asked before?)
Not a chance. I haven’t even ever watched one on TV.
Have you ever eaten food you don’t like just to be polite?
Yes. I was visiting Mrs Iggy’s aunt who worked on an onion farm. She made what looked like cole slaw, just substitute onion for cabbage. I ate it in small bites and smiled a lot, but feigned that I was full to avoid a second serving.
Have you ever intentionally gone to work wearing mismatched socks?
Yes, when I was in a hurry and couldn’t find a matched pair of clean socks. Not too badly mismatched, one navy and one black.
Have you ever broken a window?
(I accidentally broke a small one in an old door in our house, replacing it is going to be a pain :mad: )
(unintentional pun)
sorry double post
Yes, and on purpose too. I was once renting the second floor of a house, with a separate entrance. I came home drunk one night and dropped the key at the top of the stairs. There was no way I was finding it, so I took off a shoe and broke the window to get in.
Have you ever been to a Formula One race?
No, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a car race of any kind, although I’ve seen 'em on TV.
Have you ever seen Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby?
Yes-It was slightly amusing.
Have you ever personally watched someone die violently?
Yes, my father in the convulsive throes of a heart attack.
Have you ever invented a fictional language?
Yes. Yes I have, with a friend in my youth.
It’s difficult to explain, but we would transpose letters between words and substitute other synonyms. I can’t explain further.
Have you ever parachuted?
No, but a close friend of mine was an drop instructor in the Israeli Army. Told me one of his buddies lost a finger in an auto-pull rip inflate of the rigging or some such.
Have you ever lost function of a limb?
Yes, I’ve had broken hand and wrist and a broken ankle…so a temporary loss.
Have you ever embarrassed your SO so bad that they were furious with you. (And they were correct)?
Not by my reckoning, but by my ex-wife’s, yes. I had no clue as to what I was supposed to do, but whatever I did, it was still wrong.
Have you ever hand-raised a kitten or puppy?
Yes, the cat we’ve had for over a year came to us from a shelter at 2 1/2 weeks old. We bottle-fed him several days and then switched to spoon-feeding.
(You would think he’d be grateful! But no, he’s decided that play-fighting with my hands and feet is the best fun and I have too many scratches)
Have you ever flown a kite?
All the time when I grew up.
have you ever milked a goat?
I have. My son was enamoured of kites as a young boy. We finally got good enough that we consistently got one aloft. Took awhile.
Have you ever grown a fruit tree from seed or seedling that got old enough to produce?
Growing up my family had a peach tree we planted. It died the year after it gave its first fruit. The grape arbor never produced.
Have you ever sang (as a soloist or duetist) at a wedding?
No, but I’ve enjoyed hearing many others do so.
Unanswered from before: Have you ever milked a goat?
No, but I’ve seen a stallion mating, and the memory will never fade.
Have you ever come really (really) close to a wild animal?
Yes all the time. Unless it has to be a rampant grizzly bear or a man-eating tiger. I confront about a dozen or two possums/armadillos/raccoons in my own backyard every year. I catch at least six or eight sharks each year (most 3’-5’ but up to 10’), and routinely have to slap the water very hard with my paddle to shoo alligators away from my kayak.
Have you ever gutted a chicken?
