10 things I've done that you probably haven't.

[topaz]

1. walked from Staten Island -- via ferry, through Wall Street and over the Brooklyn Bridge -- to Boerum Hill in Brooklyn, during an acid trip at 3am
2. spent 10 days canoeing on the St. Croix river in Maine
3. eaten twinkies and beer under the Brooklyn Bridge
4. biked from eastern Massachusetts to Brattleboro, VT
5. lived full-time on Nantucket (albeit only for three months)¹
6. written a Pilot interpreter in Z-80 assembly language
7. worked in a printing shop manufacturing rubber stamps
8. been personally denounced on the floor of Congress by Bob Dornan (sorry, this is still my favorite)²
9. ate genuine Scottish haggis in a restaurant in Glasgow. And liked it.
10. attended a bullfight in Madrid
11. masturbated in front of a crowd of fifty or more on a public city street.

I didn't notice that I had 11 until I finished the list. Then I found it too hard to choose one to excise.

1. keyne is exempted from this one.
2. keyne is exempted from this one too.
3. It's hard to do this meme with your spouse on your friendslist!

Dude. Denounced by Bob Dornan?

I am not worthy. You are, in fact, The Man.

I would *so* love to hear that story sometime.

The denouncement is now in the Congressional record. Although he gets portrayed somewhat as a victim.

The short version is that in 1996 keyne and I appeared briefly in Newsweek's cover story on bisexuality. A few months later Dornan was on the floor of the House delivering a factfinding report from his recent trip to Vietnam, and he took one of his patented B-1 Bob left turns into lunacy to spend forty-five minutes tearing apart the Newsweek article, paragraph by paragraph.

You can get a PDF of the relevant page from the Congressional record here:

(I think that URL is persistent.) Look in the upper-right-hand corner.

My goodness. keyne ruined your virtue, too, apparently. At least according to the good Congressman.

I'm proud to know you both. Well done. :-)

She did. She does it all the time!

Fortunately it washes off pretty easily.
