When I was working as Liaison Officer in the Munich Consulate, I was tasked with entertaining the director of the CIA's wife while they were in town. I arranged a personal, closed showing of a Faberge exhibit that was in town at the time, escorted the Secret Service to all proposed sites, including the restaurant we suggested for lunch, including a drive-through. Bitch cancelled at the last minute.
Camped in the Kalahari with no one else nearer than forty miles. Fell asleep listening to the roar of lions - which is actually more like a very deep, very loud grunt.
Went to a party with Nelson Mandela. (OK, so it was along with two or three hundred other people in the garden of the President of Botswana).
Ooh!!! Did you take pics? How long ago was it? What was it like? I am envious!
No pics allowed inside. It was claustrophobic. And it stunk to high heaven. Imagine the mustiest basement you have ever smelt and take that to the power of 100. Stunk like nothing I've ever smelled. I've wondered if this disease I have could have been a parasite from Egypt, but I have also wondered if that air was poisonous to destroy my lungs. Not sure if any others in the group got sick.
It could very well have been a factor. Maybe [MENTION=44192]Vox[/MENTION] can give some input on whether that is possible? It would not surprise me if she said yes, it can.
Had carnal knowledge of my room mate's Mom in a Dodge Caravan conversion on the dealer's showroom floor, one slow Tuesday evening.
Wanted to learn to sail.
Bought a special issue of Sailing magazine devoted exclusively to learning to sail. I think that was it's actual cover title.
Read it from cover to cover.
Went to Lake Merritt in Oakland, rented a sailboat and learned to sail at a very novice level, but I did what I intended to do. Practice could come later.
Wanted to learn to ice skate.
Read book on how to do the basics.
Went to rink.
Rented skates.
Learned to skate at a very basic level but practice could take place later if I wanted to.
Wanted to learn to fly.
Getting the idea yet?
Went to the library, read a book on the best way to learn to fly.
I took its advice.
I went to a reputable ground school, studied then took 10 hours of instruction.
I can take off and I can land.
If I wanted to do it some more I could.
Oh come on. That's got joke written all over it.I pretended to be a guy by tucking my butt length hair up into a baseball cap, wrapped a scarf around my neck, binded my bodacious boobs and wore a seamans slicker just to get a job on a tuna fishing boat.!
Rather than checking off a list, what about this?
What have you done that you believe no one else on this forum has ever done? One point for each thing you post that no one else here can also claim to have done (honor system).

I don't know if anyone has dived off a huge sailing vessel into the middle of those frigid, choppy waters of Lake Michigan, then hanging onto the vessel's rope while it pulled them.
Would not to that today....
Dove hunting season. One was shot by someone and it was floundering in the lake. The hunter didn't bother to go fetch it so I ran out to the edge and jumped in. The dove was further from the shore than I thought...and the lake was deeper than I thought. Oops. I got to the dove finally...but was so exhausted, I couldn't hold it and paddle with one arm. So I stuck it on my head where it clamped on tight to my hair and scalp. I almost drowned. Hubby came running and swam out to meet me, took the dove and I floated awhile to catch my breath, then swam to shore.
We doctored the dove and it flew away.
That was a close one. I almost didn't make it.
OH, I GOT ONE!!!

THERE. I WIN.
