Ten Things I Have Done That You Probably Have Not

John Scalzi has a talent for starting memes (see his list here), and Mary Robinette Kowal helps turn them from ideas into memes (see her list here).

It looks like fun, so here we go in no particular order and probably missing some that should be here.

1) Performed a Thomas Flair on the pommel horse and shook hands with the inventor of the trick, Kurt Thomas.

2) Attended a campaign speech by George H. W. Bush before he lost the primary election to Ronald Reagan.

3) Performed a Native American flaming hoop dance. Yes, with the hoop really on fire and dressed in loin cloth.

4) Owned and bred rare aquarium fish that are nearly extinct in the wild.

5) Survived not one, but TWO Phoenix summers without air conditioning in my car.

6) Worked inside the infamous Blue Cube.

7) Watched the Green Bay Packers defeat the Arizona Cardinals at Sun Devil Stadium using tickets won in a raffle.

8) At the Phoenix Open, made eye-contact with Tiger Woods on the #10 tee box just before he hit a crushing drive.

9) Met Larry Linville when the man was drunk.  He took a dollar bill out of my hand and signed it, without me asking for the autograph.

10) Collected a piece of glass from a basketball backboard broken during a Harlem Globetrotters game.
