Name Five Things You've Done That Others Probably Have Not

[MonsterMash]

1. Married an ex-glamour model who's also a mean D&D DM, a Star Trek enthusiast and an expert swordswoman

If it wasn't for the Eric's Grandma rule I'd be saying post pictures now!

 

[Zander]

Walked through the Tower of London with nobody else around

ha... you failed your spot check on the guards.

Nope, they failed their spot check on me.

Seriously, I've been through the Tower of London several times with nobody else about including a few times at night.

1. Had lunch with Clive Barker

And you survived?! What did he feed you? Entrails? The souls of the damned? Puppies?! That guy's mind is a scary place!

- Kemrain the Afraid.

Thought of some more:

Had my Miranda rights read to me.

Had someone stalk me. (related to the above, and no I didn't do anything wrong)

Dated a model once. At one time she owned her own modeling agency in France. She was a bigger Star Wars fan than I was.

Played oboe in a community band.

Nearly passed out playing said oboe in 104 degree weather.

11. Talked about the weather and NYC pizza restaurants with William Shatner while he waited for my boss to come back from lunch

You talked to WILLIAM SHATNER!?!?

Okay: slap a president, die and resurrect, make love with your wife everyday for 14 or 16 years. Great. Congratulations. But speaking with William Shatner! Ah! You've won the oscar!!

1) Interviewed William Shatner
2) Shot at William Shatner

What?! You shot Captain Kirk?!?!

Ah, Clive's actually a really nice guy, if you met him without knowing what he wrote, all you'd think was that he was an eccentric British gay man who lived in Los Angeles. As for lunch, we had salad, if I remember correctly. And I got an original Barker drawing in a copy of Thief of Always that was on the shelf next to my desk when we came back to the office after lunch.

But speaking with William Shatner! Ah! You've won the oscar!!

Yeah, and I never mentioned Star Trek either, as I'm not a fan. I think he was relieved that I didn't bring it up, not even once.

This thread has also made some of us realize how boring theirs is in comparison.
