Have You Ever? Game

Time for another one, "Have You Ever?".

I am approaching my 46th B-day soon. On my 6th birthday I had a strawberry milkshake that made me sick. I have never had one since.



Soooo... Have you ever ate something that made you so sick that you never ate it again?

Yep. About two years ago, my wife and I had a date night on the cheap and had Panda Express. We both had the Honey Walnut Shrimp and got food poisoning from it (we know it was that because she had that, orange chicken and chow mein and I had that, Pepper chicken and vegetables). We still eat there on occasion but I have never gotten the shrimp again.

Have you ever had your lunch stolen at work?

No, but I did have someone steal my dessert at a wake.


Have you ever walked into the wrong bathroom because your mind was on something else?

YES!!!  I walked into a ladies room one night when my wife and I were at Walmart in a different town.  I was sleepy and never noticed the absence of urinals!  I did not realize my mistake until a couple of teenage girls walked in and started laughing.  I quickly got out of there and didn't even wash my hands!


Have you ever seen someone naked in public?

Not totally, but I did see a woman lose her bikini bottoms in the ocean.

Have you ever hurt yourself because you did something you could do when you were in your 20s but forgot that you are no longer in your 20s?

Yes, and it's usually trying to get out of bed too quickly

Have you ever heard a song from your youth in a place you wouldn't expect to hear it?

Yes.  My kids are doing a "dance" class on Mondays and one of the student-teachers had picked "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves as one of her songs.


Have you ever been super-excited for a movie to come out, but never went to see it?

Yep - the Hobbit trilogy (trilogy?). I loved the LOTR that Peter Jackson did and looked forward to the first one for months. Full disclosure: I still haven't them.

Have you ever farted on an elevator?

No, but I did throw a "stink bomb" in an elevator full of people and it was classic. Smelled like rotton eggs. I tossed it as soon as I got off.

Have you ever crashed on a bicycle?

--- Oh, and you need to see the Hobbit movies. I was the same way, finally got them on Blu Ray last year and liked them better than LOTR.

Dude ! I need to chime in as well.. the Hobbit flicks were amazing !! I just watched all the LOTR and Hobbit movies last year for the first time. Incredible !

YES, I crashed many times on my old BMX.  Worse 1 stands out though. I was 13, me and my bud were into bunny hopping things as well as other trix. We found a reverse speed bump some dude created on his sloped road. We would haul down the hill and at a high rate of speed, bunny hop over a 2 foot wide by 1 foot deep hole in the road. Fun.... until the day I was pumping those pedals for all I was worth and just before I got to the hole, my chain broke ! Foot slipped off pedal, I went front wheel down in the ditch, and head over handle bars.

I still have scars on my arm to this day.

Have you ever evaded the police after being caught doing something stupid ?

HAHAHA! Yes I have (somewhat). When I was about 12 or 13 a group of kids decided to put a rope around a 4 way stop. There were about 15-20 kids. Most of them were in high school so I was basically an observer. The first person to drive up -- my brother haha. So I had them take it down for him. But the next guy that drove up decided to drive thru it and when he did the metal stakes that had the rope tied to hit his car and he called the cops. By this time I was watching from my garage and all I saw was him drive thru and then stop when it scratched his car (and I am not sure how they rigged it up with metal tent stakes). So I went in the house and took a shower. When I got out of the shower I went back in the garage and saw blue lights at the 4 way (which was prob 100 yards or so from our garage). I laughed and didn't think much of it. About 20 min later my best friend knocked on the door. He asked if I had his bike in my garage. No I didn't I told him, maybe someone hid it when he ran. So he looked around a few yards and didn't find it. He decided to walk home. While he was walking home a spotlight shown on him. It was a cop. The cop asked him what he was doing and he said he was visiting a friend and now walking home. The cop told him to look in the back seat. The cop then asked "Do you know whose bike this is?". He said "Nope" and went home. He called me and told me what happened. The next day we told our parents his bike was stolen.... For YEARS, even into my 20's my mom would always say "Don't leave your bike out, remember someone stole Chuck's". In the back of my mind I would always think "yeah, the COPS stole it!" HAHAHA. 

So while not directly running from cops that was as close as I ever got.

Running from cops had me thinking of other teen high-jinks. 

Have you ever toilet papered someone's yard?

Crazy story bro ! Mine was not as interesting, but was scary. 1986, We were drag racing at 11PM down our school's road and a cop lit up. The buddy I was racing went straight and we turned right. Hauled up into some nicer homes, flew into someone's front yard, killed the engine and lights, and ducked. About 10 minutes later, the cop slowly drove by, but kept going. We sat there for a half hour. We literally stayed awake that entire night, we were so scared. Idiot teens

As for toilet papering ? Nope. Never did it, nor had it ever happened to us.

Have you ever seen a dead person you didn't know ?

I am in ministry.  I have gone to the funeral home to pay respects to people I did not know just because they were somehow connected to someone at church.  It is just part of what we do.



Have you ever been more than 100 lbs overweight?

I am right now - actually about 180 pounds overweight.


Have you ever gotten up, got ready for work, only to realize it's your day off?

I did wake up one morning, take a shower and fix my lunch to only realize it was 12:30 am

I've never done that, but I have slept in thinking it was my day off and I was supposed to be at work.



Have you ever made a comment in the wrong thread because you had several windows open at once?

Oh yeah, the next word is "anaconda".

Nope, never in my life.  


Have you ever started to share something with someone, but then thought "Nah, they don't deserve this."

Only once and I will never do it again because what happened afterwards forever altered my life in such a way that caused me to question all that I ever knew. Honestly I cannot believe it really happened. It all started when... eh, never mind.

Have you ever had a stalker? (Creepy/obnoxious admirer works too.)

Yeah.  When I was doing my music ed degree my major instrument was saxophone.  Well, the sax professor was a really practical kinda guy so he recommended we all take some flute and clarinet lessons to expand the possibilities of getting performing jobs (like in pit orchestras and such).  Well, I was in a practice room getting a little last minute practice in before my flute lesson and this guy knocks on the door.  I quit playing and acknowledged him, so he stuck his head in and said he just wanted to tell me I sounded really good (which should have been a tip-off right there) and started asking all kinds of questions about what I was playing and that stuff.  Then he started talking about my "package," which led me to quickly remember something else I needed to do somewhere else.  He followed me up to my locker, but I lost him in the stairs.  The rest of the semester, he hung out around my locker around that time every day.


Have you ever used a house key/car key as a screwdriver?
