Nope.
Have you ever gone white-water rafting? (not canoe, not kayak, etc.; raft)
Looks like it’s time for a reminder of the thread rules (below). To summarize, plain “No” answers aren’t acceptable.
(Noted, gkster. So I’ll go with Mr. Zox’s question.)
No. I have skinned a good number of game fish, though; it was never particularly enjoyable, but cooking and eating them was almost always.
HYE had at least one toenail removed (for example to mitigate “toenail fungus” or such) from each foot during the same surgery?
No, but I have accidentally broken off an entire toenail. It was late at night, I was walking barefoot, and my left pinkie toe caught the stand of a fan. OUCH.
Have you ever watched the Star Wars films in Machete Order (IV, V, II, III, VI)?
No.
Have you ever written fan fiction (regardless of whether you published it or not)?
Excellent! Please PM me once you’ve seen it.
Please have another look at post 442.
Yes, I have written fanfic for Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes and LOTR. Always fun, even if not great literature.
You read more than five works of fanfic?
Yes. If I haven’t read every single Pretender fanfic out there, it isn’t for lack of trying.
Have you ever been mentioned in someone else’s fiction by name?
Yes, I was mentioned in a syndicated fictional TV show.
HYE eaten more than three hot dogs in one sitting?
Possibly four, but I don’t have a specific recollection of doing so and wouldn’t swear to it.
HYE sneaked food or drinks into a movie theater? Or better yet, alcohol?
Yes for food. I never took alcohol, but my friend would, and he was glad to share with us.
Have you ever done your own oil change on your car?
Never. Tried it once on a power washer, and the damn thing never worked again.
HYE refrained from responding to one of these threads because–although you wanted to answer the question–couldn’t come up with a good one to add at the end?
Yes, depending on just what you mean by “one of these threads”. If that included “Baker’s Dozen” then I only too often find the current “topic” is something I know nothing about.
HYE thrown out food because it wasn’t what you thought it would be, based on its name?
I went to a truck stop back in Jersey(My Beloved’s family reunion) and ordered the “Rueben”. What I got 45 minutes later was cold roast beef, lettuce that smelled like it had been marinated in piss, a dab of catsup, all served on un-grilled white bread. I asked the waitress for a bag, put the “Rueben” in the bag and handed it back to her saying “Would you mind throwing this away for me?”.
Have you ever gotten a pleasant surprise at a restaurant?
Yes, palate cleansers or amuse-bouches that I didn’t expect at some very nice restaurants.
Have you ever paid more than $50 for a glass of wine?
Yes, a couple of times. I have also paid that much for a glass of beer (Utopias)
Have you ever danced to a Cajun waltz?
Yes, Cajun/Zydeco is pretty popular here in Southeast Texas.
Have you ever had homemade boudain?
Yes! In NOLA at JazzFest where we hung out at the Cajun/Zydeco stage.
Have you ever eaten food so spicy you couldn’t finish it?
No, in fact I just looked it up: Boudin - Wikipedia
ETA: Also no. I like things spicy. I can conceive of food being so spicy I couldn’t finish it, but have never actually tasted any.
HYE read a John Irving novel?
The World According to Garp and The Hotel New Hampshire, but I wasn’t really impressed by either.
Have You Ever ducked, covered and rolled?
Not as a drill, but I’ve taken cover in air raid shelters during air raid alerts in Israel in the Yom Kippur war.
Have you ever tried a recipe that didn’t work?
(I’m usually a good cook but the Quaker Oats meatloaf recipe defeated me; it turned out slimy :eek:)
