Bought everyone in the pub a drink A few times but in small and very friendly pubs Swam with wild dolphins No. Climbed a mountain Well - a couple of Munroes Taken a Ferrari for a test drive No - but a Lancia Stratos which is way cooler (IMO) Been inside the Great Pyramid Yes - and it was spectacular. Also Axum and Beta Giorgis (Ethiopia) Held a tarantula. No - never had a chance to do so Taken a candlelit bath with someone No. Said ‘I love you’ and meant it Yes - frequently in the last 6 years :-) Hugged a tree Only for support after drinking Done a striptease Yup - but not full Monty Bungee jumped No - static line parachute jump though. Seriously fun but also scared stiff. Visited Paris Quite a few times. Great city if you are prepared to go off the beaten track a bit. Watched a lightning storm at sea To get killed by a lightning bolt ? NO WAY ! Stayed up all night long, and watch the sun rise Yep - new years in Sydney with a crate or so of cheap champagne Seen the Northern Lights Not at all but I'd like to Gone to a huge sports game Lots of big games, nothing huge. Walked the stairs to the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa No... Grown and eaten your own vegetables Yep - chillies, and they were hot hot hot! Touched an iceberg nope.

Bought everyone in the pub a drink No Swam with wild dolphins No Climbed a mountain Tecnically yes. I do it every year. It's more of a slightly oversized hill though. Taken a Ferrari for a test drive No. Been inside the Great Pyramid No. Held a tarantula. Yes. One of my friends used to have one. Taken a candlelit bath with someone No. Said ‘I love you’ and meant it Yes. Hugged a tree Does holding on to a limb while trying desperately not to fall count? If not, what about hugging a root for a while after the whole 'not falling' plan didn't quite pan out? Done a striptease No. Bungee jumped No. Visited Paris Nope, don't particularly want to either. Watched a lightning storm at sea From the coast, yes. From the sea, no. That's what the weather channel is for. Stayed up all night long, and watch the sun rise Many times. Seen the Northern Lights Never been that far north. Gone to a huge sports game More times than I can count. Walked the stairs to the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa No. I'm not sure that I want to either. Maybe it's just me, but that thing doesn't look entirely stable. Grown and eaten your own vegetables Yes, every year. Touched an iceberg Again, I've never been that far north. I'm not exactly fond of cold weather.

okay... I'll give it a shot.... Bought everyone in the pub a drink No, not likely. Swam with wild dolphins only tame ones, more the pity. Climbed a mountain How high of one? I live near the rockies, climbing a mountain is a regular activity. Taken a Ferrari for a test drive Nope, never wanted to after the age of 12. Been inside the Great Pyramid Nope, never been off this continent. Held a tarantula. regularly, they live in the region, I have to carry them outside when they wander in. Taken a candlelit bath with someone does hottub count? Said ‘I love you’ and meant it yes, but they didn't. Hugged a tree yes, and being knocked off a mountain by a dirt bike, so would you. Done a striptease :-O Bungee jumped no, I have brain cells left. Visited Paris no, see answer for pyramid. Watched a lightning storm at sea heck yeah, mmmmm electricity! Stayed up all night long, and watch the sun rise many times Seen the Northern Lights yes, but fewer times Gone to a huge sports game no, I have brain cells left. Walked the stairs to the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa no, see answer for paris. Grown and eaten your own vegetables yes, my great-grandfather helped build the agricultural exports of NM. Touched an iceberg only the pre-burgs, a glacier.

Bought everyone in the pub a drink Regularly, even while not drunk. Swam with wild dolphins Sorry. I've had them put on impromptu shows while I was at sea. Climbed a mountain Favorite form of recreation. Even climbed Mt. Fuji and Victoria Peak (Hong Kong). Taken a Ferrari for a test drive Ferrari, no. US Navy Destroyer, yep. Qualified helmsman, quartermaster, and navigator, including underway refueling here. There's nothing like taking 8100 tons of metal from zero to thirty-two knots in less than 1000 feet. Gas turbines rule! Been inside the Great Pyramid Never made it as far as Egypt. Held a tarantula. Yes, and many more species besides. I like spiders. Taken a candlelit bath with someone Yep. Said ‘I love you’ and meant it Yes. Hugged a tree Hugged, admired, told it how nice it looked. And I'm no eco-freak. Done a striptease Nope. Seen more than my share though. Bungee jumped Never. The engineer in me lacks faith in the materials. Visited Paris Japan (five cities including Tokyo), S. Korea, Phillipines, Tahiti, Guam, Hong Kong (favorite city), Thailand, Maldives, Oman, Djibouti. Nope, don't see Paris in that list. Watched a lightning storm at sea Lost count of the number I've seen them. Beats the heck out of the display on land. Funnel clouds are even more impressive. Stayed up all night long, and watch the sun rise Too many times. Seen the Northern Lights Yes. Gone to a huge sports game Zero interest in sports. Walked the stairs to the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa Never been to Italy. Grown and eaten your own vegetables All the time. I don't care much for store bought. Wood is frequently tastier than store bought. Touched an iceberg Seen them, never touched one but we don't get that close. If'n we do, well we'll need a new captain, navigator, etc. ;-).
