I'm sure some of you have heard of a game with this name. This is not it.
However, I've noticed over my life that there are certain things I've never done that is a bit odd in our society. Well, at least in the society (American) I grew up in. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just wondering what things you've never done that seem a bit odd to your friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances.
Mind you, not things that you don't do, but have. For example, I don't drink caffeine, but I have. I used to drink it a lot. But anyway, back to things I've never done.
I've never had a cup of coffee. I've had six sips of coffee in my life, over four different instances (one of which I was a child, and two of which I was drunk), but I've never had a full cup of coffee. Hell, I'm pretty sure six sips wouldn't even make half a cup. By the way, this includes all coffee drinks: espresso, cappuccino, mochaccino, frappuccino, etc.
I've never smoked a cigarette. Not even had a puff on one. Cigars? Joints? Bong hits? Sure. A tobacco cigarette? Not puff one, thank you very much. Amusingly, though, when I was a kid, I dearly loved those candy cigarettes that were readily available. Ah, the Seventies and Eighties. What a different time...
I've never seen any of the Jurassic Park movies.
I've never seen any of the Godfather movies.
I've never cheated on a girlfriend or fiancé. I can't say I've never cheated on a wife, it that's only because I've never been married.
I've never been married. After over 43.5 years on this planet, I'm one of the few people in my generation that can say that, and the ONLY one in my generation in my family that can say that. (That includes four first cousins, two sisters, and two step-siblings.)
I've never had children. Well, that I know of...
I've never been to a basketball game. As much as I love the sport, I've never been to an organized bball game on any level--high school, college, or pro. (Not counting pickup games, of course.) Football, baseball, hockey, sure. But not basketball. I hope to fix this one of these days.
I've never drank a diet soda. Tasted, yes. Disgusting. Never had more than a taste. And very few of those.
I've never had a glass of iced tea. See diet soda above.
I've never had a gin and tonic, or really any gin drink. See diet soda above.
I've never had a can of Red Bull, or any energy drink. See diet soda above. Also, since they really didn't become popular until long after I gave up caffeine, there was really no need for me to.
I've never been in a major car accident. Minor ones, fender benders, sure. But none with any injuries or major vehicular damage. (Worst one was when an idiot in New Orleans rear ended me at a stop sign and destroyed my old Blazer's tailgate and rear window.)
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.)
Just thought of one that freaked me out, and I can't believe I never noticed it before: of all the schools I've attended, I've never started and finished at one school. Two grade schools; entered my junior high in seventh grade, but that junior high started in sixth grade; three high schools; didn't graduate college. Weird. My younger sister may also be able to say that, though my older sister cannot.
I've never been a member of nor pledged any fraternity. I have, however, been to their parties, drank their beer, and flirted with/hit on their women, but is never paid a cover at them....even if they had a cover.
So....your turn!
