Where have you so far boldly gone where no one has gone before ?

I self-subtitled some of my Japanese DVDs to show to friends. So... I'm the only one with subtitled copies of three concerts and a handful of monster movies. Hurray for me!
 
I even wore my Yankees jacket to a Mets game at Citi Field a few months ago. I didn't get any crap from the other fans, although I did get dissed by Mr. Met (the Mets' mascot) himself, the bastard. :mad: :lol:

What you don't realize is that Mr. Met is Brien Taylor's current job. :p
 
Hmmm. I guess have done a few unique things-

I half-completed Dragon Engine, which was a clone of the Ultima V engine, except that you could edit everything.

I created a hack for Metroid that moved the items around and added a mini-boss that wasn't there before (it was in the code, but not activated).

I recorded some horrible, horrible music in the 90s. :lol: Fortunately none of it is available on the web.
 
One time at an Italian restaurant, I had pasta and anti-pasta in the same meal and I didn't explode.
 
Somehow able to grasp... magnitude, even at the tender age of 9 (and already a TOS fan to boot) I once picked my self up off the living room floor (possibly to the chagrin of our Irish Setter "Kelly" who's butt I regularly used as a pillow) and went to my mother's bedroom to tell her that the tv just said Martin Luther King was killed tonight. Where no one has gone before... was the immediacy of her overwhelming emotion - and an infectious grief I was hardly prepared for.
 
1. Into the main defensive positions of an Iraqi Republican Guard Armored Division during Desert Storm.

2. Into Serbia on patrol where I was threatend with guns to leave, but couldnt because the worthless UN said we had to stay on that patrol base for 3 hours.

3. Into a redneck bikers bar and lived to tell about it.

4. When I was 7 years old one of my friend's dad was a Hells Angel and I used to hang with him. His dad treated me real good, even though he did as he pleased in front of us. He drank, swore, whored around and didnt care what we saw.

5. When I was 5 years old my babysitter took me to a strip club because she had to pick up her girlfriend. We ended up staying there 2 hours. I sat with the bouncer watching the girls dance on stage. I had no clue what was going on and didnt care too much since I was getting free sodas whole time.

6. I flew over the Bermuda Triangle twice. Once when I was 10 and another when I was 12 and nothing happened.
 
1. Into the Cask & Flagon, one of the most popular sports bars in Boston. (Right across the street from Fenway Park.) Of course I wasn't actually wearing any of my Yankee gear at the time. :p

2. In 1975, as a tornado was bearing down on my city, my dad took me outside to show me the funnel cloud! Of course we, personally, were never in any danger - the tornado wasn't heading anywhere near our house, and we didn't get any damage, but it still kind of tossed me for a loop. I remember the sky looked very colorful.
 
I forgot to add: A bolt of lightning struck a window I was looking out of once. All I remember is seeing a white flash and the window was cracked.
 
^ I remember when I was a kid and visiting my grandparents' farm. One night a lightning bolt hit about 5 feet in front of our car. It didn't do much else, though - we didn't even hear the sound of thunder or anything. We just saw the lightning and that was it. The storm, if there was one, wasn't even that strong.

Talk about storms, though...the worst storm, in fact the worst DAY of any kind, that ever happened to me, was June 27, 2008. It only lasted about 5 minutes, but I think half the trees in Omaha blew down. One of them landed on my house. (Fortunately, all it did was tear away the awning over my front porch and slightly damage my roof.) Another one in my back yard came down across power lines. My whole neighborhood looked like a fucking war zone. Our power was out for FOUR DAYS. Here's the thread I posted.
 
"Dracula's Castle" in Romania, top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, inside the Egyptian pyramids, a private island in Haiti, climbed a 600 foot waterfall in Jamaica, to the top of citadel hill in Budapest.
