Rules: Post five things you've done that you believe nobody else on your F-list has done. Indulge in remorse (or communal celebration at finding a kindred soul) if someone calls you out on a listed item.
I have...
1. Asked for a nasogastric intubation.
2. Slept, as an adult, comfortably under a bathroom sink.
3. Been in the area of effect of a fuel-air explosive
4. Been invited to join the Ku Klux Klan.
5. Eaten a tree.

3. It might have been smaller than what you experienced, but I have been fully within the effect of a fuel air explosion, & lost my eyebrows & had to grow my mustache back because of it. It was a hot water heater's pilot light which I found out the hard way that it was unlit.
4. I have been invited to join both the Klan & the Birchers. I turned them both down in no uncertain terms.
5. Some parts of the fir tree are very tasty indeed. I also landed in a sycamore once while attempting to hang-glide. The parlance of that community had me "eating a tree."
If I should choose to do this meme I would have to include "Driving under a moose & being kidnapped & forcibly hauled off to Siberia for a week by Eskimos.

Date: 28 Jun 2008 05:01 (UTC)Well, we started by gnawing on the bark... it was an Army training thing, and we badly misheard some comments about how one tree was edible. We were supposed to strip the bark off and make a sort of tea.
