I never!

[fireheart]

I've never smoked a cigarette.
I've never seen any of the Jurassic Park movies.
I've never seen any of the Godfather movies.
I've never been to a basketball game.
I've never been in a major car accident. Minor ones, fender benders, sure. But none with any injuries or major vehicular damage.
I've never seen Breaking Bad.
I've never seen The Walking Dead.
I've never seen The Sopranos.
I've never seen or read any of the Twilight crap. (Unless, of course, you count the brilliant parody thereof, "Vampires Suck," which I highly recommend.)

* I've never surfed.
* I've never been to Uluru (Ayer's Rock).
* I've never been bitten, stung, or otherwise injured by any of our animals more dangerous than a wasp or bee.
* I've never seen an aussie rules football game. (This was cut down as rugby is almost nonexistent in my state)
* I've never had a Peach Melba.
* I've never seen Crocodile Dundee.
* Similarly, I've not seen any of the Mad Max movies, nor any of Steve Irwin's work.
* I've never been to the Sydney Opera House (the 'mating turtles')

I had to look up a couple of things

To add to that list:

-I've never had a pie floater. (Think meat pie floating upside down in pea soup)
-I've never SCUBA dived.
-I've never driven anything beyond little hatchbacks.
-I've never drunken anything stronger than a beer or cider.
-I've never wielded a sword in combat (there's context to this)
-I've never ridden my bike anywhere beyond one of my schools.

I never played the "I Never" game...

OH CRAP!!!

[Jester]

Sheldon, technically speaking you still haven't played the "I Never" game. Because this ain't it.

In the actual "I Never" game, one person will say something, such as "I've never been naked in a public place," and everyone playing the game, including the person saying the phrase must drink if they ever have, in fact, done the thing in question.

For example, if I were playing, and the person whose turn it was said "I've never had children," I wouldn't reach for my drink.
If the next person said "I've never been involved with a redhead," well, I wouldn't be thirsty.

And yes, since it's a drinking game, often the "I never" statements can be somewhat, um, adult in nature.

[Sheldonrs]

I guess I better take a drink since I have been naked in public, then. lol!!

[AnaKhouri]

* I have never been drunk, smoked a cigarette or tried any form of illegal substance.

* I have never seen Breaking Bad or The Walking Dead, nor do I want to.

* I have never gone anywhere for a traditional 'Spring Break' in HS or college.

* I have never broken any bones.

* I have never seen a ghost or a UFO.

[Crossbow]

-I've never wielded a sword in combat (there's context to this)

Crap. Blew that one.


Forgot one:
Despite living in New York for about half my life, I've never been to NYC.

[bhskittykatt]

I've never shoplifted anything, ever. According to my husband, this is odd.
I've never had sex with anyone other than my husband.
I've never smoked.
I've never skied or snowboarded, which for where I live is odd.
I've never been to an Indian restaurant. We have two in town; never been to either of them.
I've never been outside the US or Canada.
I've never curled my hair (it is naturally curly enough).
I've never paid for a professional haircut. Mom took me to a cheap salon maybe twice when I was a kid, but for the most part she cut my hair, and now I cut it myself.

[cindybubbles]

I never won the lottery jackpot, though I have won some monetary prizes, though.

I never smoked nor eaten marijuana, but I have touched and felt it.

I never received my driver's licence. I don't consider my learner's permit to be a licence, but the Service Ontario clerk did when I applied for my photo ID and was asked to surrender it. I couldn't because it disappeared several years ago.

I never had three physical credit cards in my possession at the same time.

I never planked, owled, nor horsemanned.

I never changed a baby's diaper, and I don't intend to do so in the future.

I never went to Paris (sigh!)

I never went to Nunavut, so I never knew that a bag of potato chips could cost $13 until some time ago when I read about it on the Internet.

This one will make sense to the Aussies:

I never did the schoolies thing and I didn't want to.

(For non-Aussies, schoolies week is where year 12 students will go to a location for a couple of days and basically party. Sort of like spring break in the us, but for year 12 students only. For most students, it's their first trip solo without adult supervision.)

[MoonCat]

More:

Never been to Las Vegas or Florida (which would seem weird to people in this area)
Never been naked in public (for which the gods be thanked)
Never eaten chicken wings with bleu cheese (I love wings but I hate bleu cheese)
Never been on the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls
Never attended a prom
Never had a jello shot
Never done karaoke (I can't sing and I know it)

[mathnerd]

I've never been completely naked in public, though I have been topless.

[Jester]

I guess I better take a drink since I have been naked in public, then. lol!!

If I took a drink for every time that's happened to me, I'd always be drinking.

Wait, there may be something to that.....

* I have never seen a ghost or a UFO.

I have never seen a ghost, though I may well have talked to one.

As for UFOs, well, I'm not generally a believer in the supernatural, nor a conspiracy theorist, but I think it's daft and a bit arrogant to believe that in this whole universe we are the only intelligent life. That being said, I think most UFO sightings are easily explainable.

Most. Not all.

Google "Phoenix lights." I saw them. I'll never forget them. And no one has yet been able to fully explain them.

I've never shoplifted anything, ever. According to my husband, this is odd.

Most Americans have, at some point. Myself, I made a living of it in junior high school. And I'm not speaking metaphorically, as in I did it a lot. I DID do it a lot, but I made money doing it....I was actually quite an entrepreneur, selling many of my stolen items to schoolmates, and even going so far as to take orders for certain items they wanted. Which I then, of course, stole.

And yes, I was a very, very good thief. Emphasis on "was."

I've never been to an Indian restaurant. We have two in town; never been to either of them.

You should give them a try. I can't speak for your local restaurants, but Indian food in general is delicious. But no matter how much you may like spice, don't go for the highest spice level in items giving you an option. Start low, and work your way up. You'll thank me for this later!

I've never curled my hair (it is naturally curly enough).

People with curly hair rarely curly their hair, just as people with straight hair rarely straighten theirs. Grass is greener sorta thing.

I never had three physical credit cards in my possession at the same time.

I have. Hell, I've had upwards of eight. Part of the fun of being a bartender when people want multiple checks.

As for my own personal credit cards, I just recently (within the week) achieved the very thing you speak of.

[XCashier]

I've never:

• been outside of North America
• learned how to drive a stick shift
• played a roleplaying game or LARP, though I would love to try it sometime
• learned more than a few words of Spanish, despite having lived in Phoenix AZ most of my life
• skiied, surfed, skateboarded or any similar sports
• been able to sing or whistle
• entered a marathon (it would probably kill me!)
• been to me (sorry, I couldn't resist the pun!)
