**I have nevermaybe kinda broken a bone?** I was born with a broken collar bone, but have never torn any ligaments, broken any bones, or gotten anything more than cuts and bruises in my conscious (or post-birth) life, I’ll leave it to the GM to decide if that counts. ---

Crap. I miscolored my \*\*MrsWhatsit \*\*toothpick; that shoulda been purple for keeps. Thanks for catching that, **Hockey Monkey**. Okay, here we go… \*\* I have never been to a professional sporting event.\*\* ---

I’ve been to a few (proper) football games, some handball and even some athletics events. So **WhyNot, here’s my toothpick**. Spend it on some tickets 😉 ---

MsWhatsit: **I keep my toothpick.** (Unless teeth count. I broke a tooth on a piece of bone once. If that counts, HM, just let me know.) WhyNot: **I keep my toothpick.** Lots of NCAA games, but no pro events. ---

> [@MsWhatsit](#): > > **I have never broken one of my bones.** **I give MsWhatsit a toothpick.** I broke my arm when I was seven. Swinging on the jungle gym at home, I missed a bar and fell, putting my arms out in front of me as I did. My arm still clicks in the spot it broke anytime I move my wrist around. > [@WhyNot](#): > > \*\* > I have never been to a professional sporting event.\*\* **I give WhyNot a toothpick.** I went to a few Reds games when I was a kid, plus I’ve been to one NBA game. ETA: Oh, and one hockey game. The Huntington Blizzard vs. …somebody. They’re in some pro league I think. ---

I’m gonna rule that you have never broken a bone. I don’t think being born with one counts, as you didn’t do it. 🙂 ---

What happens if you’re out of toothpicks before you even get to make your first play? **I give a toothpick to WhyNot**. I have not yet attended an NFL game, nor a NHL, but I’ve been to a handful of MLB, one NBA and one WNBA. ---

**Take it away!** 1 Dallas Cowboys game, several Rangers games, a few Stars games, nothing for the Mavs or FC Dallas. [And one University of Oklahoma football game (that counts, doesn’t it? :D)] Need to rectify the FC Dallas thing. ---

There’s 20-21 of us, you give 1 per question, and we started with 50, which the oh so mighty **HockeyMonkey** with her ultimate powers decided to drop by 30, leaving us with 20. So if you’re not no. 21, I wouldn’t worry too much 😉 ---

Due to a nerdly lack of interest in anything involving physical contact (er, I mean, on the sports field… I still like… you know,) I have **never broken a bone** nor have I **been to a professional sporting thingy.** ---
