What is the most exciting thing that you have done?

Following up from "What is the most stupid thing that you have done?"

i moved countries ...that was exciting

took a trip through europe

Two experiences I have never regretted, although I am now divorced.

Stupid: Played in a band

Or maybe daytrading (both exciting and stupid).....

getting married to mrs bearfan was. Oh yes, and watching the 85 Bears Super Bowl.

That was probably the most exciting thing I've ever done.

six months must have been wonderful!

My only regret is that we didn't go overland to India. It was one of the few times that Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan weren't at war. That wOuld have been incredible.

let me know...i have a lot of friends/family etc

Someday, I'll get there.

and won the bronze medal in the Wet Willie contest at The Button in Ft. Lauderdale (1981)

(Janet Guthrie) and I wanted to see her race, and I had heard it was a good party...got infield tickets and met up with a bunch of friends from my hometown. Smoked a joint with a couple of guys we met and after we got loaded they whipped out badges, local Indy cops, and laughed their asses off and told us to tell everyone we got high with Indianapolis' Finest...
caught a ride to Louisville with some people we met and planned on continuing on to Tampa Florida for a Led Zeppelin concert, but got robbed in Nashville, got away with the $20 I had stashed in one sock and the several packs of smokes in my various pockets.
Come to think of it, I could have posted this in the "Stupidest" thread too *lol*

Our band opened a few dates for the Police during their Syncronicity World Tour. We played one show in from of over 30,000. I was so excited, that I hopped into a cab immediately following our set and left the venue. I was kinda freaked out by it all.

For my last Spanish college class. I was the most adventurous of the other people who attended - most from my university. I took bus trips to other cities or long subway trips to distant parts of Mexico City to visit friends I had made in high school the first week. My fellow students were amazed every time I came back alive. Also lost my virginity on that trip - that was a bonus. :)

i forgot to mention...first time i did that was pretty exciting too..

where? when? still?

i dated a stripper though...ahh i was sooo cool when i was in college!

When I hear the term go-go dancer I think of a 60's movie with James Coburn at some club with a bob-tailed dancer in white bootie shorts shakin her groove thing. Is that it?

so the outfits would depend on the theme of the party....

ex: if it was a rope fetish i would wear an outfit with ropes etc

keep in mind i am very boring now!

over the Outer Banks.

Amazing.

I had never been out of the eastern time zone, moved out here sight-unseen, and have NO plans to leave!! :bounce:

how is san fran?

I have quite a few friends who moved here from NY too. They also love it :)

I love my birth state, but there is nothing that will ever lead me to move back there.

pack up now and you'll be here in time for the march on Saturday :bounce:

how is san fran?

from greece thru turkey iran afghanistan pakistan india nepal - most of my recollections are somewhat foggy though if you know what i mean

where in india did you go?

went down to bombaby and goa - across and south to madras, back up along the coast as much as possible to new delhi - then to border town of raxaul and took bus up to katmandu.
sigh - those good old days!

After HS, I spent a summer in Alaska visiting my sister. At that time, there were many less women than men so we got lot's of attention. An acquaintance/friend? of my sisters flew planes for a living and got a call to go outback and drop some food. He wanted company and asked if I wanted to go. Sure. Turns out he got a thrill from trying to scare his passengers..me. We flew about 6 feet from grizzlies and glacier rivers, flew very close to glaciers and the ocean, and Mt. McKinley. The whole time, I refused to show any fear and just acted impressed. I got out and went to my Sister and sort of shook. I have incredible pictures from that trip.

I actually think my most exciting experience is my children or proposing and getting legislation passed. That is such a rush.

Actually, that would work for both questions. :evilgrin:

i posted on that twice...that was just insane

:) Lots of excitement yet awaits.

Now that was a rush.

i love roller coasters

Considering I was driving a semi. Though the conditions were absolutely perfect. Alone on the road, straight drop, at sunrise, and no deer around.

Does that count?

want me to go on?

Just kidding! :evilgrin:

but NOW I'm curious... between a DUer's recommendation, and a local screening, it has to be good!!

Spain, France, Germany. In hindsight, it was a perfect collection of countries!

Edit: SO cried of emotion when we went up the Eiffel Tower. Don't tell her I told you. :evilgrin:

Way back in February of AD 2004.

I even watched the fireworks one night at the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. If you've never heard of it, maybe you know it by its shorter name.

I didn't go on many of the rides, though. I'm not that kind of person.

I'm not a rollercoaster kind of person and the lines are usually so bad that I just don't find it to be worth my time.

on coronation day for the lil'dictator...we didn't plan too- but when people started marching, my wife and i somehow ended up at the front of the parade, with our big "Bush Cheated" banner(made to resemble the Bush/Cheney bumpersticker that was so popular way back then).
It was very exhilirating to look back and see all those people 'following' us...
unfortunately, a police line at 14th & K stppoed us all dead in our tracks.

The Student Strike of 1970.

First in the door after getting real bored with all the talking going on. The strike leaders, real radicals that they were, never set foot inside that I know.

Arizona State U.
Tempe

Spring of '70


:toast:

and it got this big bubble in it but just before it burst it kind of froze over with this moire effect and then a bird chirped.
