[QUOTE="reveal, post: 2265359, member: 1236"] 1. In 1999, I was lucky enough to be in a private tour group of the Tower of London and got to drink with the Beefeaters. They were impressed because, while all the other lady ordered Pimms, my wife ordered a Strongbow. She then proceeded to down the pint in one long drink. They took her in as one of their own. :D 2. I also was privileged to tour the Black Museum inside of Scotland Yard. Neat stuff. 3. Lived through one of the worst earthquakes of all time in a crowded area (7.7 in the Philippines and I was less than a mile from the epicenter at the time) AND one of the worst volcano explosions of all time (Mt. Pinatubo). 4. Volunteered to help Vietnamese refugee children speak English so they could come to America to prosper. 5. Flipped off a guy who pulled on a gun on me as I rode in a car with bulletproof doors and windows. 6. Had a squirrel eat out of my hand in a forest and not in an area with a lot of people normally in it. 7. Sat in the Captain's chair and did a bad Kirk impression to make my Mom laugh the first year the Star Trek exhibit was in the Smithsonian. 8. Moved (as in packed up all my stuff in boxes and moved it to another location) a total of 18 times in my life. (I'm 30) 9. Pulled over, had M-16s pointed at me and been frisked because I "broke red" on an Air Force base flightline. 10. Drank so much tequila that, while cognizant of everything that was going on around me, I physically could not move. 11. Performed the wedding ceremony for two friends in Anchorage, Alaska. It was completely official even though I'm not a religious or government representative. 12. Sat in the grass next to the Pentagon, turned on the radio and listened to the music play in sync with the fireworks going off near the Washington monument on July 4, 1992. That is something that can never happen again because of 9/11. :( 13. Led over 100 Vietnamese children in a rousing rendition of "B-I-N-G-O!" :D [/QUOTE]
