    Ok so we have all be JWs so that isn't unusual. At least to us. But what have you done that maybe no one else you know has done? Supply pictures if you can.

    I have ridden an elephant

    OK so it was at the zoo but it was still an elephant. My grandkids love this pic.

    elephant ride

    I once won an online contest with this picture. The first person to post a picture of themselves on an elephant would win. And I nailed it first.


    I helped trap a skunk. My friend had a box built outside so that his dog could get something to eat if he wasn't home or during the night.

    One night we discovered that a skunk had found his way in and out of the box. After a few nights of this we set up a way to trap him. Once he got into the box a door would close and he wouldn't be able to get out. Getting him out of the food box was a bit trickier We placed a small dog carrier over the exit so he could only get into the carrier. We lifted the trap door and after a short wait he came out and entered the carrier. We hoped he didn't decide to spray everything because that would make a wicked smell outside the back door and the skunk would in effect be spraying himself so we hoped he was smarter than that.

    We loaded the carrier in the car - still really hoping this little guy wouldn't spray himself. We took him down the road to a wildlife preserve and then debated about who would open the box and let him go. I told my frind I would open the box as long as he took a picture of me doing it. This had to be seen to be believed - well unless I got sprayed and then everyone who came within 50 feet of me know I had gotten too close to a skunk.

    He was a little shy coming out so I had to tilt the box so he would be forced to come out. And then I really hoped he would see we weren't a threat and just toddle off. My friend and I stood there immobile. I know I was holding my breath. So we stood there and watched this little guy toddle off into the woods. Haven't seen him sice and really. . . I don't want to.

    I have flown this plane:

    Piper twin engine

    I was dating the owner (same guy as above with the skunk and I am holding his dog that the skunk was stealing food from) and he took me up for my first ever flight. I was hooked. I love flying.

    Once we were up there he showed me things but I just wanted to look around. He said, "Take the controls". and I said no I just want to look. He took his hands off the controls andf told me to take over. So I did.He explained the controls on the intrument panel and how to keep the plane level. It was a pretty awesome feeling but I was glad to give the controls back to him

    Once we were back on the ground he let me taxi the plane down the runway back to his hangar.

    OK so what are your 3 things?

    akafreelife cliffjumping sounds fun. I'll take a pass on the other two though.

    Terry You are the opposite. I will pass on your #1 and think the second and third would be interesting.

    and Min Really? I don't think I want to know although your #1 has got to be the most number of questions ever asked on any forum anywhere on the internet

    Was an extra in the final Vancouver-shot X-Files episode (the stadium scene).

    Had a domesticated 12-foot python draped over my shoulders at a reptile zoo in Alberta.

    Wrote a sci-fi screenplay on spec and had Hollywood producers emailing asking to read it.

    Thanks, Lady.

    BTW, I've ridden an elephant, too; twice, in fact.

    Hey that is great. One of the reasons the elephant ride picture contest was started was that the person thought for sure no one else would have a picture of themselves on top of an elephant so he woud win. I even got my image posted faster than he did. Not that I won anything from it but it was fun to catch him at a sneak attack of being the only person to have the picture

    Always nice to get your foot in the door (except in the Door-to-Door... not so much, then).

    My screenwriting didn't end up taking me anywhere, either, I'm sad to say.

    I finished my spec script back in the spring of '01 (to, as I said, actual interest), but after 9-11, no one would touch it with a ten-foot cattle prod (the climax of the third act was an ultra-high-tech terrorist attack on Washington, DC).

    Yeah, ouch.
