Go to Disneyworld - A friend once remarked, “If you like standing in line, sweating your ass off, and spending a ton of money, then there ain’t no place better.”

Sleep in a tent

Ride a horse

It’s actually the down part that’ll make you sore, much more so than the up part.

Mine: Bungee Jump. If I’m going to intentionally free fall again, there’s going to be a parachute strapped to my back, not an oversized rubber band!

> How does one make a wheat germ sandwich, with or without Kraft cheese product?

You sprinkle it on the sandwich before you place the bread on it. You also sprinkle it on cantaloupe, cottage cheese, baked potatoes, pea soup, pot roast, baked apples and any product where you can possibly sprinkle something on something. You then wonder why your kids prefer take out or at least the right to make their own meals with the dreaded germ vanquished to the furthest ends of the shelves. To this day I cannot abide the stuff. I have dreams of being drowned in a vat of it and crying for help where no one can hear me.

My psycho ex (here’s hoping!) - Because he won’t meet my condition for getting back together. Said he would, but hasn’t done it, and I’m not going back on it no matter what.

Eat meat - I’m not a savage 😉

Date a Muslim - Anything I say might get me jumped on, so just no.

Pay for music - Obviously, I’m a music thief.

Get my ears (or anything else) pierced - I have the right amount of piercings.

I will never allow myself to be lifted and carried in my wheelchair (or out of it, for that matter) up a flight of stairs again. Years ago i was dropped near the top of a very steep, narrow and tall flight of outdoor steps when my buddy holding the back of my chair slipped and dropped me. My chair went flying down the stairs, flipping and crashing as it went. It was only because i was able to grab a hold of the metal railing with my outstretched hand and hang on that i didnt go flipping with it.

From that day, i get out of my chair and get up the stairs on my ass and have some one else carry my (empty) wheelchair up for me. Its much safer all around, and most importantly, _i remain in control of my own safety_.

Things I’ll never do again:

1. Get married. Once was enough, I like being single.

2. Have more kids. The ones I’ve got are adults. If I want youth to corrupt I’ll wait for them to have their own.

3. Eat a raw oyster. Yuck.

4. Have sex with a woman older than me.

5. Not do something I want to do because of concern about what other people might think. DILLIGAF.

It’s not rotten, it’s [fermented](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming). Like strong cheese. But yeah, it’s a bit too much for me, too.

This. Times twenty. I don’t regret having any of the kids, but… been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Never going back.

Now you mention it, actually, you do look like you’ve got a fish. 😛

One from me: Order something off a restaurant menu where I don’t speak the language, there aren’t any pictures on said menu, and the country is known for “weird” food.

</div>

Play rugby  
Play competitive chess  
See a pretty woman in the flesh without her clothes on  
See a picture of one and experience any more excitement than I’d get from studying a work of art  
Spend all afternoon floating an inch above the ground because I just bought an engagement ring for the person I want to spend the rest of my life with  
Spend all Christmas Day at an ex-fiancee’s house with her family because she picked Christmas Eve to call it off and I had nowhere else to go  
Stand on a bus station in the pouring rain with a sackful of Christmas presents for my family that I have no other way to transport  
Ride a new motorbike off the forecourt  
See the look in someone’s eyes that tells me she absolutely has to go to bed with me as soon as humanly possible  
Sleep with someone else’s wife  
Try to find a publisher for a book manuscript  
Receive a bj delivered with enthusiasm and intent  
Father a child  
Spend a day free of pain (plenty have it far worse, though)  
See a total eclipse of the sun (and cloud nearly ruined the one I did see)
