Yes. Quantum of Solace, Leicester Square 2008.
Have you ever swam with sharks?
Not to my knowledge, although I’ve swum in both the Atlantic and the Pacific. I’d get out of the water on the double if I learned there were sharks nearby.
HYE seen a shark in the wild?
Yes. Off Karachi back in the late 1990’s. I was too young to be permitted to go into the water, but I saw them real close by the side of the vessel, I could have touched them.:eek:
HYE gone diving for the purposes of seeing marine life up close?
Yes, did some snorkeling in the Bahamas in high school.
NYE been up in a helicopter?
Even managed to stumble out of a Huey face first
HYE had box seats at a professional sports event?
No, always the cheap seats.
HYE been to a World Series game?
No, but I’ve been to an ALCS game. Back in the 1990s. Toronto Blue Jays vs. Oakland A’s. The Blue Jays won that series, and went on to win the World Series.
Have you ever been to a Super Bowl?
No, but I have gone to a game that took place at the old Hoosier Dome, which used to host the Indianapolis Colts. It wasn’t a football game, though; it was a double-header in basketball. Purdue women beat IU women, and then IU men beat Purdue men, so all was right with the world. I also went to Game 1 of the 1999 NBA Eastern Conference Finals, in which my Pacers lost to the New York Knicks.
Have you ever been to a high school swim meet?
Yes! My daughter was a swimmer, initially on a community swim team, then on her junior Highschool team. When she was pressured to devote more time to the sport, she quit.
Have you ever been backstage?
Tons of times. I love going backstage at concerts and musicals, and usually find my way in.
\Have you ever won a Halloween costume contest?
Not me alone, but back in the late 1960s, my friends and I attended a Hallowe’en party dressed at the Anthill Mob, from the cartoon show Wacky Races. We won.
Have you ever dressed up as a superhero?
The closest I ever got to a superhero costume as a kid was the year I went as Secret Squirrel. So I guess not.
Have you ever received a cup shaped trophy?
Yes. As the winners of a skating competition back when I was 15 or 16, my partner and I received a cup.
Have you ever flown over an ocean?
No.
Have you ever bought a sweatshirt from a college you didn’t attend?
Yes. I have several Iowa football sweatshirts, t-shirts, etc. My wife attended and I became a fan (my college had no football program)
Have you ever attended a college (American) football game?
No, although the way the Huskers have been playing, I might be able to afford tickets.
Have you ever purchased complete season tickets for any sports team?
Not purchased (they were free to me), but I had season tickets for my college’s football team each year I was there.
Have you ever celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday outside the US?
Yes. My ex-wife was American, and though we lived in Canada (where Thanksgiving takes place in October), she insisted on preparing a real American Thanksgiving dinner for us in Canada in November. Hey, I like such things, so I celebrated with her. Being in Canada, we both had to work that day, and on the Friday, but it was a Thanksgiving meal that we each looked forward to. Plus, we had plenty of tasty leftovers.
Have you ever lined up at 6:00 AM or earlier for Black Friday or Boxing Day shopping?
Sort of, 5:00 Am outside Wal-mart with my mother, two of my sisters and one brother in law. I was just the driver and menial help. I waited in the van while they waited in line and proudly led the charge to buy cheap TVs. Once the initial rush at the front doors was over, I strolled in to get breakfast at the McDonald’s they had just inside the door. I didn’t budge from there until they had finished checking out and needed help getting their spoils loaded. I had no interest in facing those crowds without a whip and a chair.
Have you ever bought something that you didn’t need just because it was on sale at a great price?
Oh yes, yes, many a time since unfortunately I’m a sucker for a sale. What I’m remembering most clearly now as one of my worst choices is a pair of ugly shoes that I wore maybe twice. They weren’t really that cheap either.
Have you ever been scratched or bitten or otherwise injured by a pet?
