Name one thing you have never done that most people have

Yes, if you fall into a certain demographic, which I believe you do fall into, it is quite rare to not have travelled internationally, at least not counting Mexico or Canada.

 

I've travelled all over, but never to Bulgaria if that makes you feel better.  

 

When I met my wife I learned she grew up spending her summers in Lebanon (at her family’s place) and had been all over Europe countless times. I thought “GREAT! Loves to travel!” Not so much.....she got it all out of her system. “You know what you see in Europe? Mostly tourists.”  Haha, joke’s on ME! 

 

To be fair, by the time we could do this comfortably, she was half disinterested and half was we had “mitigating circumstances” that made it hard to make long term travel plans for many, many years. That’s changed now, and it’s just a matter of finding the time. 

 

The Spain/Portugal cruise is on Windstar and only holds about 300 people. We have a group that will be about 10-20% of the ship, lots of old friends. Pretty excited about just seeing these people, not to mention the whole travel thing.

Well if I compare myself to Buffalo Mafia types I’ve never slammed myself on a burning table, nor have I butt crack chugged.

Oh, and that’s a GOOD thing! 

[Gray Beard]

I’ve never been to Mexico, any Caribbean islands, or on a cruise. 

Never posted on social media (I don’t count TBD as social).

no tattoos.

never sat on my balls.

never gotten naked with more than one woman at a time. 

Never done crazy Buffalo Mafia stuff at games. 

Never seen Game of Thrones, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, and probably several other shows. 

I’m sure there’s more I haven’t done. I’m pretty boring.

I would say that’s not something most people have done.

I’ve skiied several places in the northeast, but never out west.

I actually only have one in my life, and that was back around 1980. Unfortunately, I was going more than 20 over in Ohio trying to catch a limo with a radar detector and CB radio on the way home for Thanksgiving in my college years. I lost him in some truck traffic. I had a Golden Retriever with me, so instead of taking me to jail he dropped it to 20 over. He didn’t know what to do with the dog. Dogs are your friend! 

[Bad Things]

Been driving for over 33 now and have never been pulled over by a cop.

 

I also know jackpoopoo about modern music.  Beyoncé?  I wouldn't be able to identify any of her music.  Zip, zilch, zero.

WAIT! How many people here have sat on @Gugny‘s nuts? Is that a tailgate thing? I don’t think I want to play THAT game! Now I’m even iffy about cornhole with you guys.....

[Buffalo_Gal]

There are a lot of things in this thread I have never done... I just do not have the body parts for some, don't speed madly, and Game of Thrones holds zero interest for me. I have no tattoos and never will have any (JC people, WTH do you think that is gonna look like at 60 or 70!? There is a reason tattoo removal is such a growing business.)

Never smoked pot. It smells simply terrible to me so no way I ever wanted to inhale it. ?

[Augie]

My wife was with a friend of hers who said “I’ve never done five guys”. My wife was shocked just to hear those words from her friend! My wife had never heard of the burger franchise.

  Never saw a Star Wars movie?  That is just sick (just kidding).  More of a Star Trek man myself.  Never went to a dance or prom with a girl that I really wanted to go with.  I'd be lost without a cat or dog or both.  I've been trained plenty as how to deal with a small scale fire but also never used a fire extinguisher. We all have different experiences in life.  Just the way it is.

Call the dog warden.

 

My father when I was a teen got pulled over for suspicion of DWI.  Had the family Doberman with him.  They hauled him off to jail, her to the pound.  They were going to shoot the dog... It was going nuts in the car after the stop.  My father wasn't that loaded enough, was able to calm the cops and the dog down.

 

Bad situation all around, getting pulled over with the family guard dog riding shotgun! 

 

It was early 1980s.  Don't even think the DWI stuck.

I only saw one.  The first one.  @ the theater.  I was 9.  

I never saw ET or Titanic either.

Pets are great. My dog is truly my best friend. The wife understands. Consider it, but it’s a serious undertaking. 

 

Star Wars? How did you avoid that. No great loss. 

 

Hated dances, but went to a couple proms. One with my girlfriend, and very little time spent at the prom. Nice night. Another with “that nice girl” who didn’t have a date to her prom, but wanted to go (not my school). My GF was sweet and wanted her to have her prom dream. 

 

I hope to never use a fire extinguisher, but think a little experience might be nice in case it’s ever needed. 

 

No outdoor grill? THIS is difficult for me. VERY difficult. I cook a lot now, but got there after years of grilling. My first Christmas present to my wife was a gas grill. Romantic, I know, but the thought was every night we grilled she didn’t have to cook. The problem was I left her with my parents to go with a friend to assemble the grill at our new rental, only to find that grill assembly is NOT easy, and beer is NOT helpful. She spent many late hours on Christmas Eve with my parents wondering where I went....and yet we are still married!

Como Mall. Como 6. When Star Wars came out, 1977.  Remember the arcade?

 

When (year) did Dubel's build/move to behind Como Mall from W.Seneca? They used to be in that building where the Beauty Supply (was Kaiser's) is, next to Picasso's... Across from Dunn Tire (which was Cotrell Ford)... Next to M&T Bank was another supermarket: "Harvest the Best."  Nothing ever went in there, building still stands I think.

I just read that smoking among adults is at an all time low.

 

If I remember correctly it's now just 16% of adults that smoke cigarettes regularly, down from over 50% in the 70's.

 

Weed on the other hand, well it's probably the single largest factor in the tobacco decline besides the high taxes and advertising bans.

Well, between the taxes and the fact that many are not around to smoke anymore, that makes perfect sense.

I've never went hunting.  My father was never a hunter (although he made sure I knew how to handle a shotgun and a glock for self defense). I enjoy other outdoor activities like golf, fishing, hiking, wind surfing, and tailgating, but hunting just never peaked my interests.  I've pry killed more deer with my car then I would ever be able to kill if I went hunting every weekend during deer season.

You think most people have gone hunting?

Been to a Red Lobster.  I don't think this will change either.

 

This one may not be popular, but I have never gotten a massage.  Well at least one I paid for.  

[ExiledInIllinois]

From other thread.  Never changed a tire on side of road in 35 years of driving.  Gotta have driven 3/4 of a million miles too during lifetime.

 

Now... I am jinxed!

In many instances, your last two items are inexorably linked.  A coworker was describing to us his efforts to use one of those propane deep fryers indoors, to cook his Christmas goose.

And most people should probably practice using a fire extinguisher.  The small ones (10# or less) empty before you know it!!!!

 

Base of fire, sweeping motion.  You only got one chance if thats the only fire extinguisher. Make it count!!!

 

When we get new ones @ work, refreshed fire extinguishers... We take old ones, or sketchy ones and practice on a fire (of course a fire).

 

But really... It helps...

Responding or chatting in the Shoutbox with @ExiledInIllinois is kinda like playing a video game. It takes awhile, his jabs are harmless and, in the end, you can laugh at your success. Most of us keep score and I think I am high scorer for the month of July.

i've never driven a stick shift.  have zero idea how to.  my mom made fun of me for this recently.
