"I have never..." game

A simple game but quite fun. I post something I have never done and the next person to post MUST have done that thing but continue with something they haven't and so on.

For example: #1 - I have never owned a cat. #2 - I have owned a cat but I have never eaten a pineapple.

My real I have never is I have never seen the film The Godfather (but I would like to).

I have seen The Godfather, but I haven't gotten a tattoo.

I have a tattoo, but I've never been skydiving

I've been skydiving but never watched E.T.

I have watched E.T. but never ridden a bicycle.

I've ridden a bicycle but have never seen an IKEA.

I've seen an IKEA but I've never flown a small plane.

I have flown a small plane (sort of, steered it for awhile) but I've not been snow skiing.

I have been snow skiing, but have never water skiied

I wanted to join in on this fun thread but the only thing listed to date that I have done is ride a bicycle. Bother. You people have done way too exotic stuff.

Calm, how can you have never ridden a bike? (If the photo on your profile is really you instead of Circe then I can understand it.)

I have water skiied, but have never watched a male stripper.

I have watched a male stripper, but I have never been to Paris.

That sentence sounds wrong somehow, lol.

I have been to Paris but I have never gone scuba diving.

wups backwards, nm

I have gone scuba diving but have never dived from a diving board.

I've dived (dove?) from a diving board, but I never slipped on a banana peel.

I have slipped on a banana peel (on purpose, so I could post, right now, and let me tell you it is hard to do and you don't slip much) but I have never eaten my own boogers.

and JPB halts the entire game in one fell swoop. Good going, dude.

whose boogers have you been eating?

Bypassing the last three posts, I'll start it up again.

I have never seen the Batman movie with Heath Ledger.

I have seen the Batman movie with Heath Ledger but have never seen a play on Broadway.

I have seen a play on Broadway, but I have never been to Africa.

#18 I think that far more people have eaten their boogers than have actually slipped on a banana peel - seems to me I created an opportunity for more to participate ;)

I've been to (Tropic World) Africa, but I've never worn snowshoes.

I've worn crampons (sort of a type of snow shoe) but I've never driven a bus

I have driven a mini bus once, but I have never won the national Lottery

I have driven a bus but I have never used a driver on a private golf course.

I have teed off on a private golf course but I have never done a polar bear plunge.

I have done a polar bear plunge (ONCE - *never* again!) but I have never been close to either pole (been north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle)

I have been north of the Arctic circle, but I have never been close to the Equator

I have been close to the Equator but I have never ridden a unicycle.

I have ridden* a unicycle but I have never been to the pyramids.

*ridden as in falling flat on my butt

I've been to the Luxor in Vegas, but I have never bungee jumping

I've bungee jumped, but I've never been fishing.

I have been saltwater fishing, but I've never been freshwater fishing.

I've done lots of freshwater fishing, and even caught a couple fish! I have never camped in a desert.

I have camped in a desert but I have never eaten an ice-cream dessert in a campground.

I have eaten an ice-cream dessert in a campground but I have never consumed a (real) PGGB.

... And the thread grinds to another halt.

Not necessarily. Several places around here list PGGBs among their cocktails ...

Ah, okay...
LOL

Or to restart:
I have eaten ... but have never (even been tempted to) done a bungee jump.

I have done a bungee jump, but I have never jumped (danced) to the Bee-Gees.

I have most definitely jumped, danced, and generally made a fool of myself to the Bee-Gees, but I have never driven a motorcycle.

I have driven a motorcycle, but I've never had a pet cat.

I have a pet cat (two of 'em), but I've never pet a bison.

Edited because I'm slow...

I've pet a bison, but I've never been to France.

I've been to France but I have never gambled online.

I have gambled online but I have never been on the Orient Express

*grind-grind-halt*

*cheating* I have eaten from the Orient Express Chinese Takeaway and read the Agatha Christie book Murder on the Orient Express but I have never driven a sports car.

I drive a sports car all summer, but I've never read a Harry Potter.

I've read a Harry Potter (to my chagrin) but I've never been on a blind date.

I've been on a blind date but I've never eaten oysters

I've eaten oyster stew (love the milk, but don't dip too deep-don't love the oysters) AND I met my husband on a blind date but I've never been to the Olympic Games.

I saw the Olympic Torch procession pass by on the street at the end of my block once ... guess that's as close as we're getting ... but I've never played professional sports.

Darn - missed my chance again! I have done a few of the things back there but haven't been around to say so. But I've never played professional sport so I'll have to sit out again. Curses.

Me too Joanna! Every time I check its something I can't claim!

Same here.

Where are we going to find someone who has played professional sports? Do we advertise? Post "help wanted" in other groups? other threads? Start a new thread? "Professional sports player wanted"? There must be a way. We are resourceful, aren't we?

We can not let this thread die such an inglorious end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think after 24 hours of no response, we can simply restart the thread with a new thing I've never done.

Since it's been well over that, I will start it with this:

I have never given birth.

I have given birth, but I've never had a bout of poison ivy.

I read a romance novel when I was a yoot, but I have never read a Danielle Steel book.

I have read a Danielle Steel book (but could not finish it), but i have never French-kissed a person of the same sex.

Whatever happened to "I have watched ET but I've never ridden a bicycle"?

Those were the days.

I've ridden a bicycle but I've never gone rappelling.

What is "rappelling"?

That was edited for spelling, by the way.

I've gone rappelling (decending a rock face on a rope, lots of fun) but I never drank coffee.

I drink coffee daily, but have never flown in a hot air balloon.

Woo Hoo! I get a turn!

I have flown in a hot air balloon, but I have never driven a motorcycle.

I drive a motorcycle, but have never eaten oysters.

I have eaten oysters, fried, raw, and in oyster stew! but I have never acting in a play before a paying audience.

*slight cheat* I've acted in a play (in primary school) for gold-coin entry (i.e. $1-2) and I've played in a band for a production with a paying audience, but I've never ridden a horse.

Yay! I get one!

I have ridden a horse but I have never flown in a helicopter.

I always miss the ones I can claim. I'll keep watching.

I have flown in a helicopter but I have never owned a pearl.

I just got a pearl necklace for Valentine's Day, but I've never owned a puppy.

I've owned a puppy, but I've never mastered the rules of cricket.

I learned the rules of cricket in the West Indies but I've never been to Rome.

I've been to Rome, but never to Australia (something I hope to rectify next year).

I've been to Australia (2x for band trips, 2x to visit my brother), but I've never mastered the trombone.

I was first chair trombone in my younger days, but I've never been white water rafting.

I've been white water rafting, but I've never had a bear in my back yard.

OH OH OH! Thank you, PeaBee!

I have had a bear in my back yard too many times to count, but I have never been to Paris, France.

P.S. Why was #68 flagged? I admit he was off-color, but was there a personal attack I missed or something?

I have been to Paris several times, but I have never been to the opera

I think #68 was a bit odd, kept saying strange unconnected things in the threads

I've been to the opera but I've never been luging.

(is that even a word?)

Here I come again - what is "luging"?

(This thread is making me feel very ignorant.)

Riding a luge. (ForeignCircus has been watching the Olympics) (So have I.)

Well, I'm a bit curious. Why do people keep picking things that very few folks here on LT will have done in RL? Hmmm?

OK, I am more than a little curious but shall we just carry on....

I have ridden on a sled in snow but I have never driven a Mercedes Benz.

No 96 - I own a Mercedes Benz (lucky girl, eh? It's very old, though) but I have never read 'War and Peace'.

I have read War and Peace but I have forgotten the definition of a Troll or what is it we call creeps who mess up on the internet?

I was recently called a troll by a Chicago television weatherman, but I have never eaten eggplant.

I have eaten eggplant AND loved it (eggplant parmesan in 1979 at Ocean Pizza in New London Connecticut) but I have never learned to play a musical instrument.

Okay. Someone just bought themselves a 'block'ing, just for the sake of my sanity while playing this game.
;o)

I learned to play a musical instrument (the piano) when I was in high school, but I have never ridden on a snow mobile (AKA a snow machine.)

I can play the flute, but I have never been to the San Diego Zoo.

(bonus: I have never blocked a member on this website...until today)

*psst* I already did the by-pass maneuver. Or, was it me you blocked, littleshell. ;o)

never you, clam! And I was so busy being clever about the bonus "never" that you got to post before me. What's really weird is that I forgot that I was going to mention snow mobile as my never. Am I really you?

I have been to the San Diego Zoo but I've never seen a koala bear.

I have seen a koala, but I have never seen a Broadway play.

I've seen a Broadway play (Cats!), but I've never been married.

I have been, and am, married, but I have never been out of my home country.

I have been out of my home country, but I have never been to South America.

Aack! Leapfrogged. I have been out of my home country to 5 countries and through another 4 without stopping... but have never been to China.

Continue on with clamairy's...

missed it sorry.

B****r. I too picked something that was too difficult, didn't I? :o/

Oh! Gasp in shock! Clamairy, that's Rude Word in Britain!

I was at a Monty Roberts demo here in the UK recently and the great man said casually, all miked-up as he was, "that bugger will run off" (the horse, that is). Lots of kids in the audience, you understand.

Kelly Marks, his English partner, leapt swiftly in with, "oh Monty, you can't say that, that's rude in England" and then apologised to the crowd while Monty looked bemused.

Very funny.

Anyone here seen Monty Roberts? Anyone even know who he is?

Sorry - major, major digression...

LOL... sorry. I know it's rude, but I wasn't expecting THAT reaction. ;o)

All tongue in cheek, please understand!

I used exactly that word when I made an annoying mistake and my son, maybe ten at the time, said, "Mum!!" in gleeful horror.

I said it wasn't really that bad, and said, "It would be different if I'd said f-***" (saying it, of course).

Boy was he gleefully horrified then!

I feel like playing, so will back up a bit as things seem to have, er, headed off on a tangent somewhere? (I suspect the cheese bar. mmhm.)

Anyway,

I have been married, and I've left my home country, but I've never made a souffle (cheese or chocolate). Not yet, anyway.

Oh this is like Christmas - wait for it long enough and then TWO chances to join in!

I have indeed made scrummy chocolate souffles but I have never cooked pancakes. My husband will be doing that tomorrow.

I have made pancakes (with blueberries, too), but I have never ridden on a snow mobile (borrowed from clam 'cause I derailed her answer).

I have ridden on a snow mobile but I have never successfully water skied.

"Successfully" -- rats, that leaves me out! ;-)

I have succesfully waterskied, but I have never been able to skate on ice (which, for a Dutchman is very unique).

(btw, anyone else laughing their heads off, watching the troubles in the Olympic oval?)

I've ice-skated, oddly enough, but I've never had a full-time job.

I have a full time job but, I have never (will never) eaten oysters.

I love eating oysters, but I've never (knowingly) eaten tripe

I've eaten tripe as a child (not willingly) but I have never danced in competition.

I've danced in competition (high school drill team dancing) and I've seen Monty Roberts live (loved it) but I have never owned stock in anything.

I've owned stock (not as flash as it sounds - employee shares at my ex-company), but I've never done paint ball!

(and what's up with all the oysters?? Do we have an oyster fetish?)

I went paintballing with some work colleagues a while back, some of the best fun I've ever had

But I've never been to a cricket match

I've been to many club and first-class cricket matches (I'm a cricket scorer), but I've never seen a game of polo.

eta:
I only recently found this thread and only recentlier* found one I could post to. I've been fascinated by the experiences demonstrated here and have kept my own responses in order of posts on an LT wikipage. I'd be interested to see others complete responses.

*Yup, made it up!

Ooh oooh oooh!

I've seen a game of polo but I've never made a souffle.

I've made a souffle but I've never been skinny dipping.

I've been skinny dipping but I've never had a hangover.

I've had a hangover (or forty) but I've never dived into a swimming pole, or hole, or lake or whatever.

I have dived, clumsily, just to pass a swimming class but I have never gone scuba diving. ( I went out on the boat with my hubby but I laid on the deck and tanned, which I'm sure the cap'n enjoyed while he sat drinking beer while the group dived)

I went scuba diving - once - big problem clearing my ears but it was worth the pain - but I have never done night diving.

I've been night diving, but I've never built a sand castle.

I've built sandcastles with my boys but I've never played leap frog - not even as a child.

I've built a sand castle, but I've never had a blog.

Oh no, leap-frogged, and I don't remember how to do the strike out thing! Luckily, I've played leap-frog, and I've still never had a blog!

I have a blog but I never use it. But I've never had a mud bath (at a spa)

Ah ha! I have had a mud bath at a spa! And I will never have one again, because the clean-up afterward is such a pain. But I have never been to the circus. (Real circus, animals and stuff, not Cirque du Soleil type things)

Oh! I've been to several circuses, before I heard about the animal abuse and such. But I have never been to Cirque du Soliel and such, tho I would love to go sometime

I have been to Cirque du Soleil, but I have never been (or ever will be going) to an Opera.

I have been to an opera but I have never eaten sauerkraut.

I have eaten sauerkraut (the sweet kind with caraway seeds is the best) but have never flown in a small airplane (like with just you & the pilot small)

I eat sauerkraut regularly, but have never seen a platypus (live).

I have been in a small plane (just me and the pilot) but have never played any drinking games.

Oh, I've played drinking games ... but I've never drunk absinthe (hope that's not too odd to make it!)

I have drank absinthe but I have never driven on Route 66

I have driven on Route 66, but I have never been to The Alamo (which isn't on route 66)

I have been to the Alamo, but I have never been to Niagra Falls.

DAMMIT!!! Will I ever drop onto a "last post" that actually contains something I HAVE done?? !!! Maybe it needs this thread to be hijacked by Brits ...

I've been to see Niagara Falls, but I've never broken my arm.

(Tid desperately falls down in an effort to place a message in this thread).

#160 Hahaha

I broke my leg once : does that count? I suspect not :-(

I've broken my arm but I've never broken my leg. Don't say I never did anything for you.

YAY at last !

I've broken my leg, but I've never owned a dog (there, that's an EASY one for someone!)

I've owned a dog but I've never owned a rodent.

I've owned a rodent - two actually, gerbils belonging ostensibly to my son. They were called Bobby and Chippy, and one day same son asked what was for supper, and I replied "chippy" meaning we would go to the fish-and-chip shop, nicknamed the chippy. Peter shrieked in horror!

Anyway, yes, owned a rodent BUT have never owned a chicken.

#166 Thanks for the laugh! If I had been responsible, it definitely would have been the gerbil.

I've owned lots of chickens but have never eaten goose

I've eaten goose, but I have never used a blackboard (with chalk) in a professional capacity.

I substitute taught a few times, and I'm pretty sure I used the blackboard a few times,
but I've never been rock climbing.

I've climbed around on rocks but never climbed a big one that needed special gear like El Capitan or Everest.

I've sport climbed, so needed gear though these were rather tiny hills compared to Everest, but I've never surfed the ocean blue.

No. 168 - that gerbil wouldn't have gone round the four of us anyway.

I've done body surfing, but never been on a skateboard.

#136 justjim -I'm pretty surprised to see all the things on here I have done!

I have dated someone who loved skateboards more than skis but never watched an episode of 24

I watched just one episode of 24, but I have never worn a dress.

I have worn and do wear dresses but I have never been to an art museum.

I have been to an art museum many times, but I have never painted an oil painting.

Whoo hoo!

I have painted an oil painting, but I have never written a book.

Edited to Add - I painted an oil painting in high school. My art teacher promptly told me that if I had any illusions of being an artist, that I needed to rethink my future plans.

I wrote a book (it sits on my hard drive until I get it polished enough to send around),
but I've never read War and Peace.

Sigh.....back to #182 then

I have read part of War and Peace when I did my ankle in and was sofa-bound for a week. Then my ankle recovered enough so I could go out, and that was the end of War and Peace.....but I have never tried to deliberately mess up anyone's fun for the sake of it

I'm a mom, so I suppose by definition I've tried to mess up someone's fun, although the reason could be argued lol I thought it was for safety, they thought they were perfectly safe. I'm the mom, I win.

I have never deliberately killed a possum. Accidentally ... well, that's a possibility.

Surely everyone here has never deliberately killed a possum? If anyone has, would they own up in order to join this game?

(Overtones of 'Catch 22' here - "When didn't you say it?" / "I always didn't say it, sir!")

Depends. Hunters in the south consider possum food.

Oh, oh, all we need is an Australian vet who has humanely destroyed a badly injured possum!

Find one, quick!

... Or a hunter from the south, then.

Picking up from #185 - I work in a high school and it is my bound duty to ruin students' fun on a regular basis. I have never crossed the equator (came within 1 degree of latitude).

I have crossed the equator (unfortunately, only ever by air), but have never eaten a rambutan.

I have eaten a rambutan (tastes like lichee), but i have never drank yak milk

I have drank yak milk in a yurt at Conisborough Castle but I do not know what a rambutan is.

I know what a rambutan is, but I have never encountered a live durian.

I have eaten a durian (and can still smell it!) but I have never watched any TV programmes beginning with "CSI:"
(Easy one for you!)

I watched a CSI marathon when I was sick, but I've never celebrated Dyngus Day.

A rambutan:

(another off topic: New Zealanders will be happy to kill possums, for the most part - they're a pest there).

(They are - but I love them. I'd never kill a possum. They do kill our native trees, though. Dead possums on the road in rural areas are a common sight. They're culled here regularly, poor babies).

I have celebrated Dyngus Day but never been in therapy

Oh, I've so been in therapy. Years and years of therapy but I've never had my palm read.

I have had my palm read several times...weird outcomes too. But, I have never had my tongue pierced.

I have my tongue pierced, but I have never changed a tyre on my car.

I've changed a tire, but I've never personally changed my car's oil.

(Edited to clarify: I do have someone else change the car's oil on a regular basis!)

I've changed my car's oil but I've never learned to do anything tricky with a yo-yo...nothing more then up and down.

Oh yes, part of my misspent youth. Round the world, walking the dog, rock the baby. I never collected sports cards of any sort though.

In my misspent youth, I collected baseball cards, but I've never played the trumpet.

204 - Foggidawn, I do love the fact that you thoughtfully put at rest the minds of all the car lovers here anxious about the wellbeing of your engine!

I tried playing the trumpet once but I've never played a magic trick on anyone

I've done a few minor "magic" tricks for the kids at daycare (ie: pulling a coin out of the ear,they love that one!) but I've never been to a rock concert

Ooh, me again. Not for a long time* but Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth at the Sydney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, Vic, Australia. Must have been 1974? Never seen a Rap artist live though.

*I did see hundreds of people heading to the second AC/DC concert at Etihad Stadium just the other day though.

I've seen LL Cool J live but I've never run a marathon.

To get started again:

I've seen the movie Marathon Man but I've never read a western.

I've read a western, but I've never taught my son to ride a bicycle.

I have taught two sons to ride bicycles BUT I have never yet been able to ride my own bicycle round a sharp right hand bend without breaking out in a cold sweat, holding my breath, wobbling, and saying, "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy" in a tremulous voice.

(Left hand bends, no problem.)

I have been able to ride my own bicycle round a sharp right hand bend without breaking into a cold sweat, holding my breath, wobbling & saying "oh boy oh boy oh boy" in a tremulous voice (LOL), but I have never been to a basketball game...

I have been to many basketball games, but I've never been to a professional football game.

(Been to too many high school and college games to count, but never a professional football game.)

I've been to a pro football game (Denver), but I've never been to the College World Series - even though I live in Nebraska.

(Well, we went to a game once, but it was rained out and we couldn't stay 'til the next day.)

Ive been to a professional rugby game! does that count?

I have never ridden an elephant... would love to though...

I rode an elephant in a safari park a couple of times, once when i was a kid and once in my 20s....funny how it looks further down to the ground as you get older and you lose your childhood invincibility

I have never watched Coronation Street

I have watched Coronation Street (ugh - channel flicking in ad breaks only material) but I've never been to the Grand Canyon.

I have been to the Grand Canyon but I have never eaten something from "Hot Dog on a Stick"

I've eaten many things from Hot Dog on a Stick, but I've never seen a salamander in the wild.

I've seen a salamander in the wild, but I have never eaten the worm in a bottle of tequila.

W H A T ???!!!!

I have a bottle of mescal con gusano (with a worm). The worm has remained undisturbed in the half-full bottle for at least the last six years.

Well, I saw a guy put the worm in his mouth but then he was to chicken to swallow it (yucky). I've never drank in a pub in London.

I've downed many pints in London pubs (posted to RBG Kew for 2 glorious years), but have never (was going to say had sherry in Jerez) been to Andalusia / Al-Rassan.

I have been to Andalusia several times but I never saw The Beatles live.

*wonders if this one is a thread stopper*

Naah. We've got a lot of the 50+ crowd hanging here. Someone must qualify.

Ah HA!

From FPB: "I saw the Beatles live, but I have never been to Walla Walla Washington" :D

Well assuming the quotes + "From FPB..." means the last post isn't a serious contribution?

I saw Paul McCartney live on his first post-Beatles gig, so that's ONE of the Beatles, and he was live!, but I have never been to the Isle Of Skye

(if Paul McCartney doesn't count, feel free to leapfrog this :D )

Hope I'm not derailing this.

I have been to Walla Walla, Washington (more than once actually- it's in my home state), but I have never been to a nude beach.

#233 - I think the "From FPB:" and the surrounding quotes, means that wasn't a serious contribution?

So it's back to The Beatles, if mine didn't count, or Isle Of Skye, if mine did?

FPB is JPB's SO - so that was a serious play.

I have absolutely no idea what FPB and JPB and SO mean.

Just ignore my posts. I've left, anyway.

Sorry, Tid - FPB and JPB are peoples' initials, and SO means significant other - JPB posted FPB's comment. Sorry you felt you had to leave. Posting just in case you come back!

Tid, JPB's wife is FPB, so I consider it a serious contribution. I've met her, she exists and is delightful. :) Like my husband, she contributes here vicariously through her spouse.

I have been to a nude beach (by accident, but I followed etiquette), but I have never eaten a lobster.

I have eaten a lobster but I've never taken a college level literature class.

I've taken several college level literature classes for my English degree but I've never played the tambourine!

I remember being forced to play the tambourine in some school thing but I have never cursed in front of my parents.

I have cursed in front of my parents (felt bad afterward), but I have never seen a sunrise in Utah.

Finally one for me! I have seen a sunrise in Utah (although I prefer the sunsets - sunrise is too early for me!) but I have never seen the Pacific Ocean.

I have seen the Pacific Ocean, but I've never eaten calf brain.

I have, thanks Dad with your weird food choices :(

I have never appeared on television

I was part of a children's choir that made an appearance on a little local access station when I was growing up, so I guess I probably appeared on someone's television, if anyone happened to be watching. ;-)

But I've never gone on a roller-coaster that goes upside down (nor do I want to)!

I have been on a roller-coaster that goes upside down but I've never owned a horse.

I have owned a horse! I called her Sadie but that wasn't her official name, I wish I owned a horse now and the land to ride in! anyway I have never been to Hawaii

I have been to Hawaii (as a youngin) but have never enjoyed beer

edited to add: Yay I got to post!

I enjoy beer immensely, but do not enjoy tequila.

I enjoy tequila if it's in a margarita but I have never had a mud bath.

Ah ha! I have had a mud bath at a spa! And I will never have one again, because the clean-up afterward is such a pain. But I have never been to the circus. (Real circus, animals and stuff, not Cirque du Soleil type things)

This feels like déjà vu all over again (see #147). I went to the circus when I was very young—it smelled like a bad day at the zoo. I was not impressed. :D

I have never crossed the International Date Line.

I have been to the circus, but I have never been to the Orient.

I have crossed the International Date Line and been to the Orient, but I have never been to London, England.

I've been to London, but I've never worked at the same place for more than five years.

I've worked at the same place for more than five years, but I've never seen Casablanca.

I've worked at the same place for more than five years, but I've never seen Casablanca.

I adore Casablanca and have watched it numerous times. I have never gone skiing.

I have seen & loved Casablanca (& inflicted it on friends) but I've never driven a convertable.

I went skiing a couple of times, pre-kids, in the Sierras. It was fun but tough on the knees. I waterskied in high school. But, I have never tackled a black diamond trail.

I have tackled a black diamond run (quite by accident and unplanned) but I have never been to a sci-fi convention.

I have been to a sci-fi convention but I have never been to a book festival.

I attend a 2-week book festival every October, but I've never been to New York City.

I've been to New York City but (embarrassing to say) I've never visited the Statue of Liberty.

I visited the Statue of Liberty when I went to America! During that trip I went to New York for a day - spent most of it in the bus station people watching and waiting for a friend's late bus. The trip to the statue was lovely even though I had a terrible flu.

But I've never eaten an authentic New York hot dog.

I've eaten the authentic NY dog (and other NY treats) but never went to Ireland

I've been to Ireland a bunch of times (Mom's hometown) but I've never lived with my husband.

I have lived with my husband, (thankfully!) but I have never fathered a child.

#270 *waits for someone to post "I have lived with your husband" * :D

now what do I do??? I've never lived with anyone's husband but my own and I also haven't easten sushi

oops, mistake... eaten

I have eaten sushi many times but have never driven a car (my contribution to highway safety)

I have driven a car, but I've never dyed my hair blonde

I was a blond..once. That was enough for me. Ok, I have never been surfing.

I have been surfing (failed miserably & didn't actually "surf" but i tried for a bit - that counts doesnt it?) but I have never been to the USA.

I have been surfing, and I was useless at it.

I have never owned a pet snake.

Posted same time as Seanie... and I have been to USA :)

Still never owned a pet snake.

I had a pet snake when I was a kid. It hatched right in my hands. Cute little smooth green snake.

anyway...I had a pet snake but I've never been ballroom dancing.

I have been ballroom dancing and latin-american, but I loved rock'n roll dancing (classic 1950's style). There is nothing like throwing your girl -petticoat and all- into the air on the music of a great rock'n roll band.
But...., I have never eaten haggish.

I do a lot of ballroom dancing (*historical* ballroom, rather than modern, but it's ballroom nonetheless), and have done for 10 years, now, but I've never failed a class at university/college.

(There was a close call in first-year, but I got 54 for the course...)

Edit: Too slow - follow Papiervisje's post.

I have eaten haggis (provided by one of my Scottish aunts in an attempt to teach me something about my ancestry) but I have never paid more than $25 for a book to read for fun.

Glad I didn't need to answer the haggis one because my dog's alternate name is Haggis! (For the record, he's never been eaten by me or anyone else)

I have paid more than $25 for a fun book but I have never received a university/college degree

I have two so far. But I've never graduated from high school.

(I'll leave you to wonder how I managed that.)

;-)

#286 - OK I'm curious - how?

I graduated from High School, but have never been a part of a sporting team (outside of school).

Changed my i have never as coming into contact with a lion is prob too hard & gonna kill the game lol

I've been part of a non-school sporting team (I *used* to be quite active...), but I've never failed a class at university/college level.

Oh man. Okay, fine. I have failed a college level course but I have never played a multi-player graphical game (like WoW, etc.)

Oh, I love WoW - my son got me addicted when I had to play to keep up with what he was into. I'm not very good at it, but I do enjoy it.

I've never driven a tractor. (thanks to bf Sam for that one lol)

I have driven a tractor, many times, but I've never driven a snow mobile.

I have driven a tractor (a lawn tractor - does that count?) but I have never gone to Alaska.

I have gone to Alaska but it was summer so I didn't need a snow mobile but I have never caught a computer virus.

I am a computer virus! Well thats what my ex BF used to tell me, lol... So I have caught a computer virus (well his PC caught the virus, but i was the user who caused it), but I have never received a fax that was not work related.

I've received a fax that was not work related, and I've driven a snowmobile, but I've never played rugby/football.

I've played rugby (and driven a snowmobile) but I've never played tennis

#287 Not necessarily, Seanie. I have been closer than comfortable to lions.

I have played tennis - a long time ago and I wasn't very good, but I've never driven off-road.

Awww. Reading_fox just beat me to it. ^-^

Can't edit mine either because I don't drive. ^-~

I have driven off-road, but have never had a sauna.

I had a sauna - ugh, too hot! Toooo hot for me. But I've never had a pedicure.

I have had a pedicure but have never shown a pet (dog show, 4H, etc.)

My guinea pig won a prize in a show (most intelligent pet) but I have never understood the rules of snooker.

I have understood the rules of snooker (and played it!) but I have never flown in a blimp.

#286 -- I was home-schooled, and the option that we went with did not provide a high-school diploma. So, while I completed high-school, I didn't officially "graduate." I was accepted to college based on my SAT and ACT scores.

I've never flown in a blimp either, though, so on with the game!

#286 - I so did that! Well, I have only one degree right now, but there's no going back for the diploma, so that's never going to change.

Do have the GED, though, and zero regrets about leaving high school early.

And I've also never flown in a blimp, although they do show up in my dreams with disturbing regularity. Painted gray, so that they match the sky better and can be painted out in the final film. (because this is what happens in dreams.)

Seanie #287...

I have petted a lion cub in a lion park, and held a lion cub in my lap for a photograph at the circus... does that count? :)

Never dreamed of, or flown in a blimp either...

Game on!

Well, in a real Zepellin kind of thing...no. But I have climbed into a kind of toy one when I was a kid, it was a fairground ride and it went into the air, so technically............

But I have never been on a roller coaster

I've been on roller coasters....with luck never again...but I've never done line dancing

I only line danced once, at a co-worker's wedding, but I have never been to Niagara Falls.

OO! I have been to Niagara Falls, its totally awesome, but I've never been to Paris

I've been to Paris but, in Garfield's words "I've never met a lasagna I didn't like".

Have you tried a vegan lasagna? I have, but I have never skipped out on the bill at a restaurant.

Er, i've skipped the bill at a restaurant (don't jail me plz, i've paid later :P) but i've never base jumped (A nice way to skip a bill haha).

Btw, Citygirl.... u're evil =D

I prefer the term "a little bit wicked," thank you very much ;-) What is base jumping?

Jumping off buildings, bridges, high cliffs, etc. with a parachute.

BASE = buildings, antennas, spans, earth

@317 Thanks Mary, I didn't know this either.
@315 Yikes, I think I would pay the bill, LOL.

#315 In a sense, I have done that as a little boy. My parents' house was a split-level, which had a porch out a back door on the upper level. On one side, was a set of stairs going down, and in those safety-lax times, there was NO railing around the porch put in by the builders - the owners had to do that.

Well, being 4 years old, I thought "YAY! A ledge I can jump from" - and I practiced by jumping off the first step of the stairs, onto the ground, then to the second step, then the third, and I found it quite easy to jump all the way from the send-to-top step - there were probably 9 stairs all told from top to bottom. Jumping off the last step felt HARD - it was jarring, where just one step less didn't feel jarring in the least. So, I was concerned I couldn't reach my goal - jumping off the porch itself, as that extra six-eight inches of step just made it seem out of reach.... the last step hurt, and I didn't want to take it further.

The solution: I figured "if I hold a towel over my head, it will magically puff up and waft me down, like a parachute!"

So... I tired it. I didn't break anything, but I didn't stop by landing on my feet; I fell forward, and grass-stained/dirt-scraped myself up in the attempt.

I figured "what's the point of this" and never tried again...

.......but I did, in that sense, try to base jump at a very young age.

But I have never ridden one of the big slides at a water park. The only parks my wife and I have visited are at Disney World, and I just didn't want to get in the pools with the throngs of peeing-people.

I love water rides (roller coasters too)..peeing people and all. But, I have never been on a cruise.

I have been on a cruise, but I have never been to a horse race.

I have been to the races, but I have never bet any mony at a casino.

I put some quarters in a slot machine at one of the casinos floating on Lake Michigan, but I have never seen Barry Manilow in concert.

Oh, who's going to admit that?

Have you really listened to the words of his songs?

Is that an admission?

At one point, many years ago, I owned all of his albums, but I never saw him in concert.

Oh my god, looks like the game is over O.o

#319 A hardcore child, eh? At least you didn't broke anything ^^

I have watched Barry Manilow in concert (on TV, hope that counts) but I have never been to Moscow, Idaho.

edited - I have been to Moscow Idaho but I have never picked wild mushrooms

I have picked wild mushrooms but I've never driven a riding mower.

I have driven a riding mower but I have never been scuba diving.

I dove once when I was a teen - splendid - but I have never been knocked unconcious.

I have been knocked unconscious (car accident), but I've never had a root canal.

I have had 3 root canals, but I was never the Prom Queen.

My oldest sister was knocked unconscious in a car accident, had a root canal, and was prom queen. Because she can claim this 'hat trick' I am claiming it for her. But she has never been to Point Roberts, Washington.

I've been to Point Roberts, but I've never parachute jumped.

Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane on purpose had never made sense to me.

I've played with a great big silk parachute, but I've never mastered origami.

(Can you master origami? It sounds like mastering meditation - you can always 'do it better').

All right, I'll rephrase that - I've never actually folded anything but a napkin! And clothes, but that doesn't really count! So I've never folded an animal out of origami. Maybe that's a better one.

I've folded an animal out of paper (frogs!) but I've never trimmed a hedge. Topiary, anyone?

I've trimmed a hedge, and made a rosemary bush into a sort of free-form topiary, but I've never watched the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I have watched Rocky Horror Picture Show many times and I even used to go to the viewings they had at a local old theater where we would dress up and get water thrown on us during the raining scenes and such. It was fantastic...Sorry, I digress...I have never attempted to climb a mountain.

I've climbed the highest mountain in Australia (when I was 4 years old!). It's only 2226m high, but it's our tallest.

But I've never touched a live pig.

I've fed and petted several pigs, but I've never gone white water rafting

I have gone white water rafting several times. The last time we rafted the Royal Gorge in Colorado with Class 5 rapids. It was the most fun I have ever had! but I have never read any Sherlock Holmes. :( Blasphemy I know!

I have read Sherlock Holmes and enjoyed it very much but I have never cut anyone's hair

I have cut someone's hair - not pretty - but I have never waxed my legs.

i waxed my legs...ONCE! The pain was such that before waxing again, I would have my legs removed with a rusty nail file.

I have never dyed or bleached my hair

I have dyed and bleached my hair. Had to bleach parts of it to dye it lovely colours like electric blue or bright red.

I have never broken a bone
(A bone in my own body)

I've broken my collarbone, but I've never been in a helicopter.

Ok, I've sat in a helicopter on quite a few occasions (I love military air shows!) but, I have never been outside of my home country.

I've been to 5 other countries but have never been to Washington D.C.

I've been to Washington DC, and would very much like to return as an adult (and some control over what I get to see!) but I have never seen the Gulf of Mexico in person.

I have seen the Gulf of Mexico in person many times as I used to live in Florida but I have never had an organ removed (i.e. gall bladder, appendix.)

I've had my tonsils and adenoids removed, but I've never owned a reptile.

I have owned a reptile, a little skink named Norbert but I have never been in a box car derby.

I had an iguana for years...she just died last October, but I've never climbed a mountain over 10,000 feet.

whoops sorry, ignore this.

I raced in a box car derby, but I have never slept on a train, in a box car or otherwise.

Not only have I slept in many trains (unintentionally) I've also been slept in a sleeper train - journying between cities in China. It was very comfy.

I've never seen Glee. (is it something you see?)

My daughter and I rented the dvds of Season 1, and are now very much looking forward to Season 2. It was a lot of fun. I don't agree with how they arranged all the songs, but overall pretty good.

I've never watched NCIS.

I've watched NCIS on occasion, but I've never been snorkling.

I've been snorkeling, on the coral reefs off the coast of Tanzania. But I've never been to the Seychelles.

Does Sally sell seashells in the Seychelles?

I've heard of the Seychelles, lets get the game ging again....I've never been to London

I have been to London, but i have never seen an episode of As The World Turns.

I have seen many episodes of As The World Turns but I've never watched Spainish soap operas

I've watched a bit of Spanish soap operas just for the heck of it but I've never been able to finish The Lord of the Rings.

I did finish The Lord of the Rings, but I have never finished Neuromancer.

I've finished Neuromancer, but I've never figured out how to skate backwards.

I can skate backwards (a little bit!) but I've never consumed a martini.

I have consumed a martini but I have never mixed a martini

i have mixed martinis but I have never had an espresso

I love espresso - I have never been to the Grand Canyon.

I have been to the Grand Canyon but have never learned how to sew

I know how to sew but I have never mastered the knack of knitting

I can knit (and sew, and crochet), but I've never learned to French braid someone else's hair (I can do mine, though)

I can french braid someone else's hair but I've never made my own wine(or beer take your pick)

My high school English class made dandelion wine after reading Ray Bradbury, but I have never bungee jumped.

hopefully the same person who replied to the last bungee jump position will do it again.

Well, It wasn't technically a bungee jump...but on a few occasions I did something called sky coasting. They put you in a harness at the end of a rope and pull you up 300 feet and drop you. Will that work?

I have never pole danced. :)

This thread might have just ended. :)

Because we ALL have pole danced?

*coughs* Umm...

I have.

In my defence, I was quite drunk, and I wasn't the only one.

But I've never had a detention!

Way to save the game, Will!

But I can't jump in, so who's next?

I have had a detention (once) but I have never had a bikini wax (or back wax for guys.)

I've had detention. I got it for not having a pencil in Technical Drawing class... and because my teacher hated girls in what he considered a male oriented study. :(
I have never won the lottery.

i have never won the Lottery jackpot, but I have won £10 several times, and I got 4 numbers twice and won something like £100, so will that do.

I have never played roulette

I have played roulette (in a video game), but I have never eaten a blue M&M.

I've eaten blue M&Ms, but I've never been to Nashville.

I've been to Nashville, but I've never been to Graceland.

(Cheating...)

I have listened to 'Graceland'; I know a One-Trick Pony, am married to Rhymin' Simon (who in the days before digital cameras swore by Kodachrome) and I guess you could say between us we have our fair share of Hearts and Bones. Um...um...Well, I have pots of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme in the kitchen and some Bookends on the open shelves in one bedroom; very much enjoy the Sounds of Silence when I can get them.

Think I've dried...

No, I haven't! Because I am definitely Still Crazy even After All These Years!

Anyway, despite all that I never saw Simon and Garfunkle live, nor have I seen Paul Simon live.

390: fleela - why no blue m&m's??? Sorry to interrupt the game here, but I really want to know...

#393...
Oh yes, and just obviously I've travelled across many a Bridge Over Troubled Water.

>394 Seanie:
I don't eat the blue M&Ms because they screwed up the theory I came up with when I was a little kid that the colors of the M&Ms represented all human skin colors (plus any green aliens that happened to be around). My theory was also harmed by the removal of the light brown colored M&Ms. *shakes fist*

Tan M&Ms were the tastiest I agree. Darn them and their focus groups!

#396 - what about the skin tone of a person blue with cold?

#396 - or smurfs?

#396 - or the Na'vi?

I have been to Graceland but have never tried downhill skiing.

I've tried down hill skiing (wasn't very successful) but I have never bought a house.

I have bought a house, (jointly) but I never eat my (soft)boiled eggs big-end-up because it's wrong.

I don't remember how I used to eat my soft boiled eggs but I have never driven a big rig

I'm cheating a bit in order to revive the game...

I've recently become the caregiver for my father and he has difficulty getting in and out of my small normal sized car so I am stuck driving his 'feels like a big rig to me' Ford Econoline Van, but I have never cussed in front of my mother.

oh dear, yes I did swear in front of my mum, hangs head in shame

But I have never been sent to bed with no supper or a night's TV

I was sent to bed with no evening TV a couple times. But I have never been able to stay up all night

I've stayed up all night on a few occasions, but I've never used heard a kettle whistle.

I have heard a kettle whistle, but I have never done bridge or bungee jumping.

please...would the bungee jumper please make a hat trick for us??

I have never bungee jumped (and I hope never will) but I have painted a room in my home.

#411 - I thought you were supposed to say you HAD done the thing the last poster had never done. There has to be someone who has bungee jumped!

there is as it's been posted more than twice...that's why I was calling for him or her to post again.

Bridge jumping = Jumping from a bridge into a canal.
I have jumped from a bridge into a canal (a popular sport here in Holland with its many canals), but I have never French kissed a French girl (or boy).
(note: French kissing a French-Canadian does not count)

I have French kissed a boy who can speak French, but I have never eaten a deep fried Twinkie.

I have tried a deep fried Twinkie (at the fair). It was disgusting, but I have never climbed a tree.

I have climbed many trees but have never played a shoot 'em up style graphical game.

I have climbed a tree but I have never gone wind surfing.

Carry on from 417 ;-)

I have played a shoot 'em up style graphical game (not very well), but I have never broken my leg.

I've climbed trees, wind surfed and played shoot-emups (badly) but I've never owned my own TV.

bah too slow. BethyB has it, cause I've broken a shoulder and a wrist, but fortunetly not my leg.

I was too slow to claim the bungee jumping and I've never broken my leg. Can I claim for my son? He was one at the time at it was a horrid 6 weeks. It was a monster cast and changing his diaper required saran wrap, J - cloth and duct tape.

But I've never learned how to swear in Chinese.

ETA: On second thought, let's change that to never learned to swear in a second language.

Oh, Sandragon, how awful - poor guy, and poor you!

I'm sure that if Firefly had been on the air longer, I'd have learned to swear in Chinese, but since it wasn't (sniffle, sob), I'll just have to say ignore this post (for game purposes) and play on!

Never mind, since it's now a second language, and I do know a few foreign language (i.e., non-English) swear words, I DO!

I've never baked a cake with more than two layers.

I've baked a cake with more than two layers (Magnificent Seven Layer Chocolate Cake), but I've never started a new thread of "I have never" in the Green Dragon because this one was too long.

Thread continues here

#415:
I have to disagree here. French speaking is not the same as being French. That is why I ruled out the French-Canadian.
I have French-kissed quite some French-speaking women, but they miss something a French girl has by nature.
Oh well, let's get on in the new thread.

>425 Papiervisje:
It's just a game.
