I’ve bicycled in 8 countries. My dad has pictures of himself wearing the same tacky shirt in at least 16 countries. ---

I’ve visited the metro systems of 12 cities (soon to be 13 or hopefully 14), including all the metros of the Iberian Peninsula. I’ve visited cathedrals in sixteen Spanish provinces. ---

I’ve been to 8 baseball stadiums. 5 are no longer standing. I’ve rode my current motorcycle in 14 states and 1 providence. Someday I’d love to do a huge roadtrip and finish both lists. ---

I’ve fathered children in three different states. Same mother by the way, but no state being the actual one we lived in at the time. By our best calendar math, it seems there’s nothing like a little vacation to get the ol’ fertility going. -B ---

> [@panache45](#): > > I masturbated into two different oceans, on the same day. Was this in Panama? I’ve been to 33 of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, four Canadian provinces, and one additional country (Cuba). On a more specialized note, I’ve attended basketball games at about 30 different arenas scattered among nine states (Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illlinois, and Missouri). ---

I’ve set foot in… something like 35 of the 50 Spanish provinces. Some 20 US States. Some 20 other countries; in Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Switzerland and France, it’s been in more than one province/state. I’ve lived\* in Pamplona, (Navarra, Spain), Tudela (Navarra, Spain), Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain), Miami (Florida, yú és of éi or Latinamerica depending on who you ask), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, USA), Romano (Veneto, Italy), Mozzate (don’t remember the province, Italy), Liberia (Guanacaste, Costa Rica), Houston (Texas, USA but don’t call 'em yanks unless you can do it with a grin). Lived: as defined by the Spanish Foreign Office, “spent more than 30 days at a stretch in the same location”.
