oh, if I must

Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done.
See if anybody else responds with "I've done that."
Ask your friends do this in their journals to see what unique things they've done.


1. Been knocked off a motorbike by a police car

2. Taken 5 times the maximum daily dose of diphenhydramine in one go (great hallucinations, but you feel SO awful the whole next day and God knows what damage it does to you, Just Say No)

3. Owned a pinball machine (wonder if the ex will ever let me have it back? [command me to take it away, more like])

I'm going for the esoteric yet smug attack here:

Borrowed Steve Stapleton's trumpet - pic of me here.

Been given a copy of Schwartz by Conrad Schnitzler. Limited edition of 100 released in 1968.

Hacked a MicroFocus COBOL runtime system to use a different version of Oracle than it was built with (because it was nearly Y2K and the fucking morons that the Oracle DBA function had been outsourced to had not only uninstalled the required version, but had lost the installation tape).

Oh - and I also know what MADI-RAM means.

You're supposed to put it in your OWN journal!

Perchance the spec was unclear.
