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])

At least one of the LJ/shed folk has a slot machine, but it's not pinball.

Being knocked off a bike by a police car is stylish. I hope the driver apologised.

I was too busy saying "my leg hurts" to notice. He did get taken off cars, later, after the local magistrates did him for it.

I'm very glad to hear it. He may be police and he may have been in a hurry, but those things don't excuse not paying attention. I'd have thought that their driver training would include things like being aware of other road users, even during high speed stuff.

You seem to have recovered though, which is the main thing.

He wasn't in a hurry. He did a u-turn from a position where he couldn't see me coming. I was doing about 35 (throttle shut as approaching the limit sign at the edge of town), he would have been doing less than 10.

Ah, what's known as a pinball wizard in this house. Deaf, blind - and very, very dumb.
