Ten Things I've Done You Probably Haven't

My brother-in-law had to delete his list from his blog in deference to my sister's sensibilities, but here's my response to John Scalzi's list of Ten Things I've Done You Probably Haven't!

  1. Lived in 20 different places around the world, including Japan, Italy, Guam, England, Spain, Puerto Rico, and 14 US states.
  2. Sold John Boy Walton (aka Richard Thomas) 3 sets of rubber animal families for his triplets.
  3. Hit a pedestrian with my car because he wouldn’t get out of my way and I was in a hurry. (I only tapped him--he was fine! Jerk.)
  4. Walked away from rolling a car over on its top and a head-on collision with no injuries in either accident.
  5. Been on Air Force 2…while it was Dan Quayle’s plane…and got to ask if he used the big screen TV to watch “Ren and Stimpy.” Response…”I don’t know what that is.”
  6. Dislocated my own jaw with a frozen rack of ribs. Popped it right back in but spent the next 3 years in pain.
  7. Experienced zero gees on a KC-135.
  8. Broke my hip while dancing to “Hammer Time.”
  9. Had two peeping Toms, one of whom scaled the side of a building to peep into my third floor apartment window. He got away but the second one (ground floor-er) was arrested.
  10. Survived an 8.2 earthquake that lasted 60 seconds.
I have to say I'm looking at this list and am a little disappointed with myself that there's nothing I can think of to put on it from the last 12 years! Have I really become THAT boring?? Those of you who have known (and of course LOVED) me in that time, any suggestions on what I can add?

So what's on your list?

**1/18 editor's note: Looks like my bro-in-law has a revised, cleaned up list now, so check it.** out.
