Lets play a game

I scored a 5. No drugs, tattoos, piercings, sky-diving, or short-term relationships (that one night I fell asleep with my buddy does not count, right? "One night stand" is not terribly descriptive :smile: ). Done the rest.

Interestingly, my score has not changed since I was 20!
 
I should only get partial credit for #11. I've never been "Zip Lining," per se, but I have rappelled down the face of the Snake River Canyon in Idaho. That's kind of a vertical Zip Line of sorts :glee:

Also, maybe I should only get partial credit for #4 since, in 1969, I attended a Jimmi Hendrix concert. While I wasn't smoking anything funny myself, there was enough smoke in the air from others around me that I'm pretty sure I was stoned when we left the concert (and I had this overwhelming urge for doughnuts). :chair:
 
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!

I concur!! The trick is to figure out when to start that tail-slide!

(For example, George Bush senior skydiving, for I believe, his 90th birthday.)

In a bar at Universal Orlando, some guy sitting with his wife and kids came up to me and a gal pal having a beer and a smoke at the bar, and announced in a shocked voice: "YOU'RE HUNTER THOMPSON!!" I *shushed* him and said in a low voice: "I faked my death in Colorado to get away. Apparently not far enough. This is my new lawyer, Sharby... and that's DOCTOR Thompson to you, son!" He went back to his table and was whispering excitedly to his wife...

Obviously we can't confirm this is Doc's pic for security reasons.

Why, yes it IS a Hawaiian shirt and boonie hat. How good of you to notice... :smirk:

and under th' hat it's as smooth as a cue ball. :congratulatory:
 
Does helicopter crash count? If so, Only jumping up to 2 on that list with the additions... havent been in a bank in many years, especially not while it was being robbed.
 
If being in a rotor-wing auto-rotate to within a foot of the floor DOESN'T count, but seeing an F-106 crash does, and we can't substitute beer & wine store for bank, I have to add two more. Haven't been robbed at gunpoint (yet).

I've been in a rotor-wing emergency landing with blown oil seal - on my very first ride in a helicopter! (Then Had to get in that same craft and fly all over Baffin Island and Labrador after a new seal installed). Nervous on every trip after that.
 
So I will tell my story. Flying North from Saigon to Danang in C141 lost a engine after take off dumped fuel came back on foam runway. Tried to leave Danang on a C 123 that aborted take off and ran off the runway. Tried to get on a UH 1B on the runway the crew said no they just lost power on taxi way. Two more night at Red Beach. Reason for trip you ask getting a Passport at US Embassy to leave Nam to Thailand.
Got home from the Army and got a job nights at a gas station only to be held up by a guy with a 45.
Got a job as a Elevator repairman in Sacramento CA. They gave a check for cost to fly to Eureka CA. for a problem to repair. Needed cash for plane and such went to the Bank at opening to cash check then came the robbers.
My helper called me saying his wife left him she took all his money and had not payed any bill in months. I got to his house to find he had taken many pills and drank over a 12 pack of beer. I got him to the ER in time.
In 1965 I worked in Alaska as a Com Fisherman I have seen the Northern Lights nothing can compare.
I do not recommend any of these but the Northern Lights

12 - I've had a pretty boring life.
One really dangerous thing I don't see listed here -
"Owned a French car".
