Okay, since everyone else has already jumped on the bandwagon, I guess I'll play along.

Ten Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't:

1) Milked an alpaca.
2) Been hospitalized in the terminal ward with a rare blood disorder.
3) Translated the entirety of Fabritio Caroso's 'Il Balarino' from 16th-century Italian to modern English.
4) Cow surfed.
5) Fended off drunken advances from a Babylon 5 actor who mistook me for a professional dominatrix.
6) Snorkeled with manatees.
7) Posed for portraits at a late-night garden party in Tennesee wearing nothing but a chain mail bikini.
8) Had a major pop star give me an autographed pair of his undershorts.
9) Entered the Pillsbury Bake-off.
10) Jumped backwards down the entire staircase in the Statue of Liberty.

Not nearly as exciting as most of my friends, somehow....

I don't know, that one made me stare and say "wow" more than most I've seen.

...milked an alpaca? I knew about the translation thing already, and while still utterly amazed, it's not a novelty. Cow surfing? ...*which* Babyl..nevermind. Snorkling with manatees=very cool. Did the major pop star happen to have a spare pair on hand, or...none of my business.

Anyway, yeah. You're more interesting than you think.

I'll have to write up the cow surfing story, and at least one or two others.

The pop star was Weird Al, and the underwear was part of a concert schtick. He was vamping audience members; a friend and I decided to play back and run down the aisle to swoon at his feet. He threw his underwear to me, and I stuck around after the concert until he appeared to autograph them. :)
