Yes, and I paid for it promptly.
Have You Ever attended a formal cocktail party?
Yes, a couple. Not really my scene.
HYE hosted a dinner for more than ten people in your home?
Not in my home–the maximum there has been eight. But my wife and I once hosted 20 people in the private dining area of a restaurant, years ago.
Have you ever been interviewed by a TV news crew?
Yes, about twenty years ago by the local ABC affiliate. I witnessed my moron neighbor try to prevent the family pickup from being repo’ed. By jumping onto the hood of the wrecker. While wielding a hammer. While seven months pregnant. The wrecker driver hit the brakes, she fell off, only had some minor abrasions, but of course screamed that the driver tried to kill her child.
Have you ever testified in court at a felony trial?
I practically live in court, but no, I never testified at a felony trial.

No, never, although I’ve tipped poorly when I’d been served poorly: http://imgc.allpostersimages.com/images/P-473-488-90/66/6607/2WGE100Z/posters/mick-stevens-sign-on-the-table-reads-your-tip-so-far-in-front-of-a-plate-with-chang-new-yorker-cartoon.jpg
HYE sent food back to a restaurant’s kitchen?
Only once. It was a basically cold and raw pizza at Gepetto’s.
Have you ever driven a PT Cruiser?
Yes, both my brother’s and my next door neighbor’s
HYE got sick in public?
Yes, the last time (many years ago) involved a big sunny field, a LOT of alcohol and a band…
HYE brewed your own alcohol of any kind?
No, although my ex-brother-in-law was a home brewer.
HYE had a sibling get divorced?
No, in my family we get rid of spouses the old-fashioned way. We bury them 
Have you ever cut down your own Christmas tree in the wild (not a tree farm)?
Not me, but I remember my Dad doing it once.
Have You Ever eaten Smores with marshmallows cooked at a campfire?
Yes, and if nine years as a Boy Scout taught me anything, it was how to cook the perfect Smore, LIGHTLY toast the marshmallow to a golden brown, don’t let it burn, and above all, parents, buy the GOOD graham crackers, not the cheap ones…
HYE had a terrifying experience involving water?
Well, I wasn’t prepared for the strength of the waves when I visited Los Angeles, and decided to take a dip in the ocean. Those things can be strong, and if you’ve never been in such big waves (I never had been), I suppose they are terrifying.
Have you ever received a gift that made you wonder, “Why would that person think I’d like to have this?”
Yep. Every year of my marriage my in laws gave me a sweater for xmas. They never saw me wear a sweater, indeed they never saw me wear the sweaters they gave me because I do not wear sweaters. The first sweater I just blew off as a fluke. The second xmas I chuckled. By year three I realized I was fucked. Twenty sweaters, new in box, never worn.
HYE run as fast as you could through a busy airport?
Yes. I had to sprint through O’Hare and just made my connection.
I had a job interview over a weekend on the West Coast and was supposed to catch a Sunday 7 PM flight so I could get home to the East Coast in time to show up at work on Monday morning (my boss didn’t know). The 7 PM flight was 4 hours delayed, I had a tight connection at O’Hare, and with just an hour’s sleep I thought that I was losing it when I had to rush through this tunnel with flashing lights: The Tunnel Between United's B and C Concourses at O'Hare - View from the Wing
Have you ever been stung by a bee, wasp, yellow jacket or hornet?
Yes, all of the above plus a few more, though none in the last few years.
Have you ever been bitten by any kind of reptile?
Yes. I found a garter snake once, and picked it up. It promptly bit me. Garter snakes are not venomous, and they don’t have a lot in the way of teeth, so I wasn’t harmed. I did, however, drop the snake, which slithered away.
Have you ever walked out of a movie?
Not actually in a movie theater, although I did turn off the DVD of Moulin Rouge at home. I tend to watch any movie to the very end.
Have you ever been to the Outer Banks of North Carolina?
Nope, never been to North Carolina.
Have you ever fired a cannon?
