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.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

  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.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

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.

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.

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.
