* Betcha never walked into Wal-Mart and started freaking out about the release of Cinderella 3 followed by a rant about Diet Sprite

No, I was upset about how pointless it is to make diet versions of sodas that are basically diet already.

JT Stryker said he isn't sure if he's done that, but he has stepped on Mellencamp, Metallica and Def Leppard's tech guy's index finger, and he can ask if it's possible his dad ever worked for REO Speedwagon.

Fyfe - You have my undying admiration. I have a hard time reading those silently to myself, much less out loud for someone else to hear. You are amazing! Way above and beyond....

quote:Is it cheating to make it as specific as possible?
I'd say so.
I'll bet you were never me.
Well for that one I don't think it was violating the spirit of the game. If I had wanted to get VERY specific I would have said "in Midland Michigan, at this specific hotel, on this specific date, with this specific elephant and with these specific people."
Generally one would figure if you're going to ride an elephant it's at like, I don't know, probably in Africa or India, or if not, then at a zoo or circus or fair or something.
A hotel parking lot strikes me as more unique, and therefore fair game.

Me too. (But it was a zoo, not a hotel parking lot.)

Actually, that's fairly common for anyone who has had a run-in with a Van de Graaf generator. I think most, if not all, of my physics class has had that happen to them (including myself).
Me too.
Betcha never had a chunk of your finger removed by a very large parrot.

What about a grocery parking lot? That wasn't me though, that was Sidda in Divine Secrets of the YAYA Sisterhood.

With the Van De Graff generator I believe it is not actually conducting through your body... At least it shouldn't be, according to what I have heard. I always thought it was just aligning your magnetic field with its own.

The way I've played this game its called "I've never". You say something that you've never done and then everyone who has done it has to put in a penny. (There was a drinking version of this on Lost). In that version, the least experienced person wins. Your version where you have to come up with stuff no one else has done has a very different bias where the most experienced person wins. I also think its lots easier to come up with stuff that no one else has done.
Betcha never been invited to speak at the AVS meeting?
Betcha never slept in a graveyard in Austria?
Betcha never ridden under the Flamme Rouge in the Tour de France.
Betcha never road a bicycle all night to catch a ferry.

Betcha never put on a cowboy hat and performed "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Write COBOL" for a group of programmers.

Betcha never stabbed yourself in the neck with a saxaphone during rehersal.
Betcha never been knocked down, jumped on, spat at, hit over the head, stood on, and dogpiled upon on stage for an audience of about 400 then had your picture in the paper the next day! (I love my job)

Betcha never typed a whole sentence without spaces, then backspaced with the arrow key and used a needle-nose pliers inserting into the spacebar hole) to put spaces in (because somebody broke the spacebar. !!! Posts: 2034 | Registered: Apr 2004

Betcha never gave birth to a kid who was born with the cord wrapped around her neck, then her ankle, then her neck again. (That was a new one even for my doctor! She also wiggled out of TWO scalp electrode monitors, which was a new one for the entire staff of the hospital, apparently.)

quote: Fyfe: did you use voices like we do when reading books for kids?
Yes. I mean, I had to. There were some whiny shrill people and some gruff-voiced people. It was all very awkward; I have been reading books onto tape for my aunt since I was fourteen or so, but the most risque they had ever been up to that point was Ron and Lavender making out all over the Gryffindor common room. When my parents brought home Julie Garwood's timeless masterpiece The Bride and told me my grandmother really wanted to have it on tape but couldn't get it anywhere because it was so trashy no one had ever recorded an audio version, my brain exploded with horror. You know how many sex scenes in that book? FIVE. FIVE.
*brain is scarred with horror forever*

See Kylie, I didn't expect you to be around. And I was pretty sure kwsni hadn't, though it was possible.

Noemon (and anybody else) how about you email me if you're curious? I'm pretty sure most people here don't want me posting that story.

I hope that wasn't in reaction to my post. I was just referring to the notion of biting down . . .
