I’ve never been to a pro sports event other than MLB. I’ve never gone to a bar to hook up. (I’ve hardly ever gone to a bar at all.) ---

I’ve never drank coffee, smoke a cigarette, or done any illegal drugs. I’d say my body is a temple, but if so I demand chocolate and sushi as sacrifices. ---

I think I’m most surprised by the people, like\*\* BelZarak,\*\* who have never traveled. In that spirit I like\*\*, EinsteinsHund\*\* , who has never been to an English speaking country, despite posting on this message board for some years. ---
