    I’ve never eaten lobster. I’m not the slightest bit tempted to eat your bug meat that’s only palatable when slathered in butter.

      Honestly it’s relatively flavourless. Have Crayfish in NZ instead. Smaller animal, far more flavour.

    Well I have a college degree, so people find it funny I never technically graduated high school. Did enough classes to qualify for graduation then ran away halfway through the year and never looked back. I was already enrolled at the college in an arts program so they didn’t ask for the certificate. It didn’t matter until I tried to get a job in a bureaucracy in my 40s and they wanted evidence of high school diploma. Which I didn’t have.

    God I hated high school.

      I got tossed sophomore year, and got my GED later.

      I graduated with a B.S. in engineering a few years ago.

      How could you tell the bee was dead when you stepped on it and not killed by you stepping on it?

      I’ve never been stung by a bee either! I’ve had a wasp get me a few times but bees and I have a unspoken truce, I guess. We have carpender bees all around our house and my wife hates them but I enjoy watching them have those valiant mid-air dog fights. Those little bastards can scrap. They never bother or dive bomb me but sometimes they get curious and kinda hover around me, presumably doing a bee’s version of a vibe check. I dont run or swat at them and they just peace out after maybe 15-20 seconds and then ignore me next time Im outside in “their” territory. … My wife on the other hand, swats, screams and runs from them and they’ll straight up go after her. She clearly does not pass the vibe check. It’s wild.

        Nope.

        First blood draw was just shy of 43yo, and that was for a new life insurance policy, so it was a contract nurse in my own living room.

        I have become more familiar with the hospital recently, however.

          Me too, should we start a community for accidental criminals?

          Edit to add: I accidentally shoplifted shoelaces. I put them in the breast pocket of my shirt while looking for a few other things in the store. I think I left without buying anything at all.

            Mine was worse. Had a CD in my hand, that should be enough of an indicator this was long ago, and browsing around the store. Well, I saw a bunch of my friends just left so I ran to catch up with them and luckily theb security alarm didn’t go off. 10 mins later I realized what was in my hand. 😬

            Just dese too yoots.

            (It’s a reference to the courtroom dramedy film My Cousin Vinny, in which two innocent boys from New York driving throuth Alabama stop at a convenience store for groceries, one has so much food he’s carrying he sticks a can of tuna in his pocket, forgets about it by the time he gets to the register, realizes it’s in his pocket after they leave, and are then arrested for first degree murder. Joe Pesci ensues.)

Never smoked though or taken a non prescription drug unless you include alcohol. Oh kratem but did not really have any effect.

        I’ve never even seen one in real life.

        Granted they’re probably made of something that’s regulated here so…

        Yeah, knew it;

        The EU requires warning labels on artificial dyes. And countries like Austria, Finland and Norway don’t even take the chance of putting Twinkies on their shelves. Read about Yellow 5 dye and the horrible health effects here.

        (such a spammy site no point linking the source I sure that can be checked somewhere else)

        Okay, most Pop Tarts are like, I dunno, take ‘em or leave ‘em.

        But they have this new Banana Bread kind, and if you ever want to have your first Pop Tart (and you like banana bread) you could do far worse.

        Never appealed to me. If I were to choose something in that class a Hostess Cup Cake always seemed like the more obvious choice.

        That being said Little Debbie > Hostess. Give me an Oatmeal Cookie, Star Crunch, or Nutty Buddy over either of those every day…

    I’ve never watched a football/soccer match. Sure I’ve seen some guys running on a field in the news, or sat in a bar with some screen in the background. But I have never watched a match in person either and have no interest in doing so.

      Just sad. My stepsons had never been to a concert and my kids thought that was crazy because I had brought them to shows since they were babies. Like, I can remember my first show but they can’t. They all love music now.

        I love music but I’ve just never been, if someone invited me sure I’d go, but other than that not sure why I would want to. At this point I’m probably getting too old for that crowd anyway

          As a show goes that loves to vibe towards the back, I encourage you to go.

          Shows are great. You don’t need to fight crowds, be up front, or dance if you don’t want to. I prefer small shows, usually at bars. But even large stadium shows have an energy that’s hard to describe.

          We would invite you, and never too old! I go by myself sometimes too, that is also fun. Can just listen to the music without having to socialize. Live music is just one of the best things ever.

      Do you live in or near a big metropolitan area? If so you can probably fulfill this one within the month depending on how broad your musical tastes are. Some shows are prohibitively expensive, but a lot of smaller ones are remarkably affordable.

      Edit: I myself enjoy a decently broad range of music. One of my favorite types of concerts, though, is when the local symphony puts on a movie and they play the soundtrack. These are really fun because you get to go to a symphony concert but if you get bored you can watch a movie!
