Not sure I can get up to ten, either, but here goes:
1. Danced around on stage in a sheep costume.
2. Been an orthopedic surgery case study.
3. Failed differential equations in college, yet still managed to graduate cum laude.
4. Stolen a goat and transported it across state lines.
5. Beaten the crap out of a Moroccan.
::Oh, I'm on a roll now. This is fun::
6. Had my pocket picked in Paris.
7. Been in a building that was car-bombed (while I was in it).
8. Got my European driver's license before my American one...but neither before I was 18.
9. Earned a stage name in a strip club -- as a patron, and without removing any clothing.
10. Had my nether regions grasped by Mikhail Barishnikov.

You wish you'd seen me dance?
Date: 2005-02-25 09:46 pm (UTC)The "transportation of a goat across state lines" was a prank during Army-Navy Week when I was at USMA. We "borrowed" a transport van, snuck down to Annapolis, kidnapped their mascot and took him back to West Point...where we dyed him pink. He was pretty laid back about the whole thing, as I recall. The Naval Academy...not so much. :)
The Moroccan abuse happened in Brussels -- another dancing story. He got fresh and just didn't understand my refusals. So I found a more direct way to translate, that's all. I'm sure he's been able to replace those teeth by now.
