This jolly good fun MEME is floating around and as usual I am late to the party; I may be one of the last to do it, which probably means my crack at it won’t be too much fun for reading. I didn’t read the rules too well. I think I am to list things I have never done, and see if others have or haven’t done them too.
1. Seen Paris.
2. Performed an abortion.
3. Cooked a turkey.
4. Fought/yelled at my parents.
5. Ate a mangosteen. 
6. Seen a professional football game.
7. Drank a “Growth” Bordeaux wine, fifth through first.
8. Smoked marijuana.
9. Seen a USA President in person.
10. Won the good conduct prize at school.
11. Owned anything with real gold in it.
12. Read “War and Peace”.
13. Successfully operated the Home Entertainment System without Someone to tell me what to do.
14. Worn high heels. 
15. Whistle.

I thought those were your high heels, are you sure? You seem like the type for the stiletto.

Although I possess a pair of cha cha heels I haven’t ever worn them. First of all, they are too small. Second, nice girls don’t wear cha-cha heels.

I found #7 most unsettling: someday I hope to remedy that with you.

I know you want to be a Bourbon Boy, but save room for one drink with me: Long Island Iced Tea.

I have done 1, 8, 9, 11 and 13 from your list but not always very well.

Some further comments –
Seen Paris. This I would like to do someday.
Performed an abortion. I bowed out of this in medical school, didn’t want to do it. no one objected. I wrote a scolding email to my priest once on the topic, as he was scaring people in the homily of alleged catholic students being forced to learn to do abortions.
Cooked a turkey. Someone always does this for me.
Fought/yelled at my parents. No one in my family has done this
Ate a mangosteen. I would like to try; I can’t find one.
Seen a professional football game. Living in MI < the Lions? no thanks.
Drank a “Growth” Bordeaux wine, fifth through first. Someday!?
Smoked marijuana. No intention to do so.
Seen a USA President in person. Neutral to do
Won the good conduct prize at school. Bitches. But my prizes came later in life.
Owned anything with real gold in it. I like silver rather.
Read “War and Peace”. Someday, to say I have done so.
Successfully operated the Home Entertainment System without Someone to tell me what to do. This frustrates him why I can't fathom four devices each with two buttons on them?!
Worn high heels. Nothing I have matches anyway.
Whistle. Perhaps I can't physically do so?

OMG. Never whistled???

No – I don’t think I can

you are NEVER too late to join in the fun!
from your list, I HAVE done #1 (in 1970), #4 (often – bullies and abusers both; stopped talking to them for good in 1990), #8 (once whilst in college; hated it, never did it again), #9 (bubba clinton, 1992, in chicago), #11 (my ID bracelet, a gift from me to me for my 50th birthday).

Which of yours have I done? Not that many. You’re not getting me very drunk, Spo.
I’ve done: 3, 6, 9, 11, 15. I’ve seen the last four Presidents, having gone to their campaign events. Yes, that means I went to Bush I and Bush II events. As they say, know your enemy. Or in this case, enema.

Your #15:-
In the James Bond novel ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’, M reads a report about Scaramanga (the villain of this decidedly inferior tale) referring to a myth that homosexuals cannot whistle. I’ve never seen reference to that anywhere else and have never had a problem myself with whistling. But when I came out at work my colleagues started teasing me, assuming that I couldn’t do it. (Maybe they too had picked this up from the Ian Fleming source). I played along with them for a while, saving myself up for a time considerably later when a female staff member walked into the office and I produced a mighty wolf-whistle for everybody’s aural delectation. Very sexist, I know – but you should have seen their faces!
Btw: I was not suggesting in any way that YOU could possibly be gay. I know that some people prefer to keep their powder dry until the right time arrives.

I’m glad you opted out of #2.
Yes, I’d be honored if you want to list my blog!
Have a great day!

I can’t whistle either. It’s not a urban myth. I don’t know any gay guys who can whistle through their teeth, only my pursing their lips and that whistles, what there is of it, is very feeble.

from the Other, other sean: I enjoy your header much more if you used your Sopras los bombas!! pic – so yummy.

One can’t be too rich or too thin, or have too many Seans!

How did you get through the 70s without a gold chain?
February 20, 2013 at 1:37 PM
james of the woods
everyone, regardless of gender or sexual preference, should at some point in their existence own a pair of properly fitting cha-cha heels. and for the record, being nice has nothing to do with the issue. it is all about balance!
as a mental health professional it is your duty to encourage acceptance of this concept.
i also see you as a stiletto heel kinda guy. and remember, no open toe before easter sunday or after labor day.

Well, let’s see. I’ve done #3, 4, 8, 9, 11 and 15, so I guess it’s another night of drinking for me (after I get home from the State Police headquarters a bit later on tonight).
Peace <3

If you have ever owned a personal computer then you have done #11. Computer circuitboards and CPUs contain small quantities of gold.

I promised to play along (this was a meme I started)
1. I love Paris.
3. I love cooking a turkey for the holidays.
4. when I was a teenager I often fought with my parents.
8. A couple of times long ago.
11. I exchanged rings with 2 previous partners. The gold rings are still in my jewelry box.
15. whistled but I’m not very good at it.

This really is a drinking game one can play with friends. You’re just trying to get us all drunk! lol

Interesting!! I’ve never done anything on your list except for #8. I did take one single puff of a joint in my twenties (in a group that was doing it) but only a single puff; I didn’t like it and I hate hanging around stoners.

Well, I’ve done 10 of the 15 things on your list. I hope you get the chance to do #5. Mangosteens have the most amazing flavor that I’ve ever encountered.
