This intrigues me as I spent a couple of years in an archery club and it'd be pretty hard to do this (not impossible, but difficult all the same).Angcuru said:

1. Married an ex-glamour model who's also a mean D&D DM, a Star Trek enthusiast and an expert swordswoman
2. Spent 3 months being paid to live and work in an Anglo-Saxon longhouse, during which time I made a complete mailshirt for myself, and then lost the mailshirt while drunk 2 years later
3. Was "knighted" on Portuguese national television by the Portuguese minister for the interior (also 14 other appearances on national television and in 3 films)
4. Appeared in a music video, but not for money; they paid us off with a 50' Viking longboat replica which is presently in drydock in Bristol
5. Became CEO of a multimillion pound company before the age of 30 (and went bust before the age of 35).

1) Had lunch with Tim Powers and talked about theology. (OK, I know at least one other person on this board has done that, the lunch not theology part, but she was with me at the time so that doesn't count.)
2) Was a missionary in Kiev, Ukraine during the worst winter in over a century.
3) Married my brother....... I mean, I performed my brother's wedding.
4) Eaten an animal that I had named and raised on several occasions. (We had cows.)
5) Rescued a small boy from a rushing flood swollen creek.

Dang it, Stormborn pre-empted my Tim Powers one, but I have another.
1. Took Tim Powers on a tour of Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville, AL.
2. Edited my stepfather's manuscript of A Catalogue of the Works of Johann Pachelbel, published by Scarecrow Press.
3. Shook hands with Bill Gates and had my picture made with him.
4. Served as president of the Alabama Library Association.
5. Still own a Kaypro computer that I bought in 1986. (CP/M rules!)
(Also saw Star Wars in original release 17 times)
(Way too geeky: Translated a book on Bartolomeo Gusmao, which I borrowed on interlibrary loan and scanned, from Portuguese using a translation program.)
