1. Had a meeting with the leader of a South American drug cartel...he likes me.
2. Spent 3 days in a rainforest in South America where I obtained 2000+ bug bites, shot and ate a pirhana, saw a tiger, and got accused of being a witch by the natives.
3. Tackled an NFL hall of famer.
4. Beat my dad at trivial pursuit. (I know it's probably not a big deal, but he is really good and Ive been trying to do it for 20 years.)
5. Took a picture of Fidel Castro. (only about a year ago too)
Hopefully I can get some much better ones in my next 20 years.

Since it seems to be the vogue thing to add more points, here's some more from me 
6) Started up 3 different courses at a youth school/center when I was 18 (i.e. a place where 14-18-year-olds can take free courses in the evening). Roleplaying, Live-Roleplaying and Painting Miniatures for War- and Strategy games. All 3 courses are still running to this day (I left in 2000 after 7 years, because I had to move), 2 of them now being taught by a former student of mine.
7) Dated a woman who ran a dating agency (not all that special, just thought it sounded funny... and no, I didn't meet her through her agency). One of her clients even hit on me at a social gathering for the clients to meet up.
8) Been on my country's national American football team.
9) Experienced a tropical storm, an ice storm and a snow storm, all during the same 2 day trip/drive (oh, and we had to stop at a Red Roof Inn because we came to a place where it was so foggy that we couldn't see 10' in front of us).
10) Driven a Nissan 2005 350Z (that is a sweet, sweet car!)

Hm... this is tough..
1) Got suspended on my first day of Kindergarten.
2) Got paid to do this, repeatedly. That's basically just water exploding out of there, by the way.
I'm stumped for now. I'll top this up to meet the quota later.
Man, I only made it to 20. What kind of a geek am I?
Being impatient youth, it was less "wait for marriage" and more "wait until we're pretty sure we'll be married eventually."

2. I once won a writing contest and got to be a paid film critic for a year.
3. I bought a house at the age of 24.
4. I once accidentally clamped my nipple in the hammer of a .44 cap-and-ball revolver.
5. I saw a UFO in the valley next to Area 51.

Nah, it's cool. The original thing I saw this done on wanted ten items. I could only think of five and two of those are reaching :/ The Bear Story is the only good non-gaming story I have, period.

Takes a lot of willpower, these days.Also -
I once got 'slimed' at Nickelodeon Studios while on a vacation. Sticky stuff.

Wow...can I even think of 5?
1. Had both lower impacted wisdom teeth extracted ( along with the jawbone embedded in the roots ) with only novacaine, then drove myself home afterwards. And they were not done at the same time. To this day I have a 3/4 inch notch out of each side of my lower jaw.
2. Played a mellophone in a marching band in the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC, during the half time show of the Blue Bonnet Bowl, and at Lincoln Center in NYC. All within 2 years of each other.
3. Drank soju ( Korean alcoholic beverage, which contains formaldehyde ). Since the formadehyde seperates out and floats to the top, most people pour it off before consuming. I was too drunk to realize that.
4. Survived two major car accidents ( one I walked away from, the other I left strapped to a gurney ).
5. Met and shook hands with James Doohan.
There are others, now that I think about it, but I best not post them...don't want to get into any trouble...
