I won’t be online for pretty much the rest of the day, so in an attempt to prevent the game from dragging, I’ll post mine now and hopefully **Hockey Monkey** can keep track of everything.

**Never have I ever been outside of the U.S.**

Oops, sorry.

I was helping an old lady cross the street, when all of a sudden five – no, ten – terrorists tried to rob her and nuke the city. They were soon joined by Crips, Bloods, guerilla rebels, communists, and really mean atheists. They kept coming after me one by one, but I kicked their asses! I made the city – and world – safe for democracy.

Then I fell down some stairs.
