I washed my face in a restroom in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. I ate from a relish tray that was supposed to have been given to Frank Sinatra. I got detained by police after accidentally committing housebreaking in Dublin. I stayed pregnant for almost two straight years when I had my youngest daughter ten and a half months after I had my son. I dated Anna Kendrick's distant cousin. I heard a plane crash when I was three. I went to the 1990 World Series. I got stabbed by a drug addict. I've undergone hypnotic regression. My early reading skills got me written about in an educational journal. I've stayed all night in a graveyard. I've stayed up three days and two nights before.

  At twelve, I was raped by a classmate.

  I was raped by three older kids when I was thirteen, at an institution called Boy's Village, in Ohio; I told on them, and was told that I was lying.

    I was a male prostitute at fourteen, in Omaha.

  At seventeen, a friend and I served as bodyguards for a seventeen year old female hooker in my hometown of Lorain, Ohio.

  On 31 October 1978, I died of a drug overdose; I was without heartbeat or respiration for two minutes and thirty seconds, they told me.

  I've seen, heard, felt, and been scared silly by ghosts on more than one occasion.

  I went to prison in 1997 for stabbing an eighteen year-old prostitute in Cleveland; I was having a bad reaction to anti-depressants.

     Thanks to Jesus, and my wife, I've re-discovered love, trust, and the glorious ability to laugh at myself.

I've written five novels.
I've fathered twins.
I dug the largest Tylosaurus ever found in Texas (approx. 50 feet).
I have held an Australian death adder.
I have seen a Soviet aircraft carrier conducting war games.
I experienced a collision at sea.
And . . . I met a man who shook hands with Amelia Earhart.

Hmm... Alan kind of makes my life seem dull.

I have interviewed Wallace Shawn on the telephone.

I can do a kickflip (sometimes)

warning: bad language

Unusual?  Ummm...

I once carried infant bones in my sweater pocket: they were too delicate to transport in the box with the adult bones. (We were excavating an ossuary pit).

I built a five-foot-tall Dalek as a Halloween costume.

Very interesting, Newt!! Are you an archeologist?

When I was four our family and the family of my uncle had a frightening Bigfoot encounter in Louisiana.
When we lived in Las Vegas my mother would take me along at night driving to the house where Dean Martin was staying. She climbed up the wall surrounding the property to take a peek. We did this several times. She had a huge crush on Dean Martin.
I hitch hiked by myself when I was 10.
I went to night clubs beginning at the age of 12.
In my teens I went to confession at a catholic church once, even though I'm a protestant. I did this out of curiosity.

Mine seem rather tame compared to others  :teddyr:

I've been to the Olympics (1996).
I've lost about 40 to 50 pounds from being sick for just a few days.  That's a lotta weight!
I've had to walk around 8-10 miles or so home from work in the past (no bus service at the time and I was too cheap to call a taxi).
Not too many unusual things I've done.

Yes, by education.  I am not employed as one.

I fell asleep on a motorcycle once, but that happens more often than people think...

One of the more unusual things I can think of is that I went to Turkey on vacation back in 2012.  That's still not common around here to go there. 

I bought a Volt back in 2012.  We still don't see a whole lot of Volts on the roads around here, but I am seeing more than I used to.  If I can get the job thing squared away I might be one of the first to buy a Bolt around here.

Come to a complete stop at every stop sign.

Sorry Brother Claws: when I was loooking at this on my phone, I misread it and thought your Mom had a crush on Bigfoot  :wink:

At a party, I set a cake on fire, most likely while under the influence of "gimmicks".

Got detained in Canada.

You also ate a napkin once  :bouncegiggle:

Visited a country that no longer exists (Yugoslavia).

On one of my first visits (it may even have been my first) to this thing called the Internet, I was looking up info on a long banned film entitled Billy Jack and I landed up here.  :teddyr: :teddyr:

Taken part in a threesome (sorry to gross anyone out but yes, I have done that)
Dressed in drag - not so unusual but I have done it many times and I didn't look too bad.
Took a rubber snake into a screening of Snakes On A Plane and then complained at the box office that one of the buggers escaped.  :teddyr:

I had what I can only call an out of body experience when I was in massive pain having my first daughter. To be honest, until then I thought people were lying when they claimed things like that had happened to them, and it still makes me want to cancel my subscription to The Skeptical Inquirer every time I mention it. All I know is one second I was looking out at the room in near-total agony wondering if I had reached my breaking point, beginning to curse the whole idea of natural #$%&-ing childbirth, next second I was a few feet above myself gazing down at everyone with a feeling of complete calm, and I thought is this real?? And in a flash it was over and I wondered if it actually happened. (And no I'm not saying I died or anything, my vitals were fine.) I still don't know what to think about it, but if it was a hallucination, it was a good one, and if it was real it opens a smorgasbord of questions.

I've been to a backwoods West Virginia funeral.

I drove through a few blizzards.

Fired someone.

i used to cross tremont ave in boston via car bumpers, does that count?

I've eaten raccoon.

Harvested corneas for the eye bank at med school.
Dissected a cadaver.  (Med school.  Sense a theme?)

I have written a personal letter to every member of every graduating class at the school I teach for the last ten years.  I give it to them the day before they walk the stage, along with an arrowhead from my collection.

I co-hosted a pair of 24 hour radio talk shows in college.

I shot JFK. I had some help from the CIA and the illuminati but it was my bullet I think

Piloted a nuclear submarine. 

My oldest brother was in the navy. One week, they had a family visitation day and several families  got to go with the crew of a nuclear sub as it went out into open water.  (still within American waters).  We got to sit down at the helm and with a crewman next to us we got to sit at the control and do some basic movement. 

I once saw a stripper have an ecliptic seizure on stage

I've donated bone marrow (and still have a dimple on my hip as a souvenir).

I've tried acupuncture, gua-sha, rolfing, and reiki.

I've free-roamed an amusement park that was closed for the off season.

I've been to Bobby Mackey's, "supposedly" the most demon-haunted honky-tonk in America. (Zzzzz.)

I've stood atop the Eiffel Tower.

I've seen a wild black widow spider up close.

I've been to the Alamo at three AM.

I've ridden an elevator with George Clooney's dad Nick.

I've been patted on the head by John Glenn.

I've seen softball-sized hail.

I met my soul mate.

 Aw that tops anything I've done.

  I survived a heart arrhythmia, even though the doctors said that there was no medical explanation for how I lived long enough to get help. The nurses said it was because I was too stubborn to die.

In order to keep the arrhythmia from coming back I lost 170 pounds in just over 2 years. I still struggle with it at times, but i'm generally on top of it.

I've had long conversations on two separate occasions with women who told me that they were actively possessed by the devil.

I spent the night with  girl in a cemetery on Halloween looking for ghosts or the Great Pumpkin or something .( Much more crowded than you'd think. But no ghosts.)

I met Dan Aykroyd in the bathroom at the Oprah Winfrey Show. He signed my friend's cast.

I once ate an entire 18 inch sausage and mushroom pizza in one sitting

I bottle fed a baby okapi

I told fortunes at a bar one Halloween using home made Viking Rune Stones. We didn't charge but we did accept donations. We used the money to go to other bars.

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate ( No wait...)


Last Halloween I dressed like a Minion!

I slept on the beach in Corpus Christie for a week. Near the end of the week I got to see sea turtles hatch out of their eggs and crawl into the sea.

I Delivered a pizza to Wayne Newton.
