Ten Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't meme

[urbpan]

As I commented to richmackin, from whom I stole this meme, now that I've added a couple zookeepers to my friends list, I don't think I can do this meme successfully.

...And if aemiis_zoo decides to do this meme, I have a suggestion...

Ten Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't

1) Rode a bike on the frozen surface of the Charles River.

2) Chopped (well, beat) a bike into a mess with a dull axe and tossed it off the Allston footbridge.

3) Killed a litter of adorable baby raccoons.

4) Snorkeled the beach of one of the Galapagos islands.

5) Rode a bike off a stage into an audience.

6) A pagan divorce.

7) Spoon-fed my mother like she was an infant.

8) Deterred a mugger from attacking my father in Rio de Janeiro.

9) Lost my wallet in Denali National Park.

10) Wore an artficial pouch containing a juvenile wallaby.


Wow! My life seems much more interesting than before I started this!

I just posted that same meme today...pardon the cross posting here...

10 things I've done that you probably haven't.

1. Met Def Leppard. (Ok, so I know someone else who has done this too *clears throat*)
2. Been bitten by a black rat snake and a milk snake (Pueblan).
3. Gotten paid to wrangle small alligators.
4. Picked up a bloke at a small pub in Near Sawrey, England.
5. Traveled across the US (3,200) miles in a truck with my dad in 3 days.
6. Gotten really drunk at a party and punched a dude out, knocking him down onto the floor, for saying "Def Leppard sucks".
7. Gotten really drunk at my cousin's house in Michigan, hugged a tree, and screamed in German so loud that I woke up my aunt and uncle.
8. Gotten stopped by security at a record shop in the mall without having stolen anything. *wink* (Ok, so someone was with me at the time too.)
9. Been parasailing.
10. Been urinated on by a barn owl, a Northern flying squirrel, and a California desert tortoise.

(Disclaimer: For the record, I don't get "really drunk" anymore. I was young and silly then. I know my limits now.)

Just for hoo-has, I thought I'd compare. Here's as close as I've come on your 10.

1. Well, I rented their complete music video collection at least twice, that must count for something. Hey, I used to listen to "Hysteria" on my audio tape walkman!
2. Eastern milk snake and Mexican rosy boa for me.
3. Only did this as a volunteer (so far!).
4. Made out with a (strange) girl at a punk show.
5. With my brother, and it took much longer (like 8 days or something).
6. Been very drunk pretty often. Never had to defend Def Leppard or come to blows over anything.
7-9. Nope.
10. Oh, the urinating animals! Woodchucks, various turtles, rats and cats and toads oh my!

cross country travel

[(Anonymous)]

It was six or seven days, but it seemed like eight because Dave wanted to listen to that LoTR tape as we traveled across interminable Nebraska. I actually can only remember by thinking about where we slept.
1. Motel in upstate NY
2. Lovely campground with a view of a nuke plant
3.? Did we actually sleep at Kopaz's house? I have pictures of you in Chicago so it seems we must have, but I seem to have blocked it out.
4. A rain sodden campground in Nebraska. where apparently, the squirrells stole Dave's shampoo.
5. In a snow dappled campground in Colorado. which took us too long to get to because we tried to drive up capital I on the map.
6. Outside of Moab Utah, where the tent was attacked by our crazed imaginations.
From there, A straight rocket run from to Vegas.

I'm glad we had that trip, weird as it was.

3. Yeah we were there for what seemed like a week unto itself. Nothing like a detour into suburbia to slow a trip down (although it was nice to sleep indoors, on a bed.)

5. and ice INSIDE the tent.

*wonders what the squirrels would do with the shampoo*
*wonders if it was botanical scented*

Sweet! =)

I figured some of the keeper types out there would have been bitten and peed on by various animals (job hazard and all), that's why I specified species.
