[Croney]

[MontanaMama]

2. Three here.

Never went skydiving, didn’t have braces...WON’T go on a cruise.

[VWolf]

118. Crossed skydiving off my bucket list last year

Too old for braces, can't give birth.

Unless I get a piercing, I'm stuck at 3.

[PunkinPi]

3. I'm a 9. nt

[flor-de-jasmim]

66. Me, too.

[Duppers]

70. Same.

[dewsgirl]

[Laffy Kat]

7. 20!

[MLAA]

8. I'm a 9 ....but just one small tattoo away from an 8

[smirkymonkey]

9. I'm a 10.

So I have done about 64% of the things on that list.

[LakeArenal]

39. I turned it up to 11.

[pansypoo53219]

68. we have a lot of 11s.

but if i could count each time i eat off the floor.........

[in2herbs]

10. I'm a 7.

[Evergreen Emerald]

85. me too

I would love to go on a zip line!

[Vadem]

88. me too. A zip line sounds fun but I don't like heights! nt

[OriginalGeek]

93. Fellow 7s unite!

Let's get those scores down...but I'll always be at least a 1 because unless it's jump or crash, I ain't planning to skydive.

but if I did, that would probably take care of break a bone too.

edit~ make that always a 2 - I don't think I'll ever give birth...I was in the room when my wife did and that was more than enough of that for me.

[lkinwi]

126. I'm a 7.

I’ve been skydiving once, on a dare many years ago at age 18. Now, I don’t even fly anymore.

[OriginalGeek]

132. I generally don't mind going in a plane

but I don't want to jump out of one.

[Tikki]

99. 7 here also..zip line...never.

Tikki

[TruckFump]

127. Same here. Another 7!

[ashling]

11. I got 17, but my interest score

which is the number of comments you have gotten in a single post, divided by the number of views by DUers

is about .002

[Arkansas Granny]

12. My score: 14.

[Polly Hennessey]

42. My score is also 14.

[sakabatou]

48. Same

[MFM008]

13. mine is 13

talk about a sedentary existence.....

[woodsprite]

14. I'm a 7.

No skydiving, cruise, tattoo, scuba, zip lining, or shooting for me. Haven’t done karaoke, but would be willing to try.

[NRaleighLiberal]

15. 10 here.

[Raven]

16. I got 20 but I'm still boring.

[dweller]

17. for the very 1st time ever in my life

✌🏼

[Skittles]

19. I have never done 11 of those things

Last edited Sun Jan 26, 2020, 09:15 PM - Edit history (1)

nope!

[Delmette2.0]

43. Same here. 11

[KT2000]

54. 11 here

and of those, I hope never to do them.

[magicarpet]

58. Another -,..... 11

[TNNurse]

97. Should we 11s if they all match???

[defacto7]

20. 4

No birth, braces, tattoo, cruise

[DiverDave]

21. 19

And got a couple of ideas

[lunasun]

22. 10 and proud of it!

[frazzled]

23. Doesn't mean you're boring

I mean, I’m kinda proud never to have fired a gun or gotten a ticket. And zip lining is not my thing.

What if the list had included things like:

Read a Pulitzer or Nobel prize-winning novel
Baked a Sacher torte
Attended a symphony orchestra concert
Played lacrosse
Took mescaline
etc.

A person who scored well on the first list may have scored poorly on this one. Neither could be said to be more or less “boring.”

I’m off to hear John Cale (Velvet Underground) this evening. But I’ve never broken a bone. Does that make me a boring person?

[AJT]

24. I'm a 5....

[Generic Brad]

25. 16 here

I am more boring than you, sir.

[nocoincidences]

26. 9 here.

There is nothing on the list that I would want to do that I haven't done already.

Well, maybe skydiving.

[bottomofthehill]

27. A 5 and one of the tasks is impossible for me

[MuseRider]

28. 4

skydiving
no tattoo
karaoke
braces

[sarge43]

29. 12

Skydiving, limo, braces, massage, tattoo, given birth, karaoke, scuba diving, zip lining, skinny dipping, TV, cruise.

[CanonRay]

30. I'm at 9, but giving birth is unfair.

[yellowdogintexas]

31. I am a 6 Except for a technicality I would be a 5

I haven't been scuba diving but I do love to snorkel!

Mine are:

fired a gun
skydiving
tattoo ( and my daughter is a gifted tattoo artist!)
karaoke
zipline
scuba
Of these I would like to go on a zip line I think they look like a ton of fun and advancing to scuba would be neat if I could afford it!

[blueinredohio]

32. I got 19 but I'm good with boring.

[dameatball]

33. I'm an 8 but I' m still in labor. Okay I lied, I'm a guy.

[happybird]

34. 9

I’m perfectly fine with the ones I haven’t done.

Edit: Ooops- all except having never left the country. Planning to fix that in 2021 with a trip to Japan, with a long layover in Europe!

[solara]

35. 7 is my score

contemplating a tat

[avebury]

36. I am a 10. nt

[samnsara]

37. I scored 7.... is that good or bad?

Last edited Mon Jan 27, 2020, 10:00 AM - Edit history (1)

[LakeArenal]

38. I'm 11. Still time though. I'm good with that.

[sdfernando]

40. Lucky #7

being of the male persuasion, I have never given birth. I also have a healthy fear of heights so most relating to that I haven’t done....or plan to do.

[lark]

41. I'm a 3 maybe a 4.

Think I broke my little toe one time but was told there's nothing to do about it so never saw a dr.

The other 3 are skydiving, tat and braces. We were too poor for me to have braces, although recommended, and skydiving isn't something I've ever been interested in. I have twice been in tattoo parlors to get a tattoo with my husband. He's gotten 3 and I've gotten zero - stupid fear of needles.

I've had a kinda interesting life and looking forward to traveling to more interesting places. Also want to try having big streaks of purple in my hair - maybe before I go visit my friend in Harlem?

[rurallib]

44. 18 maybe 19

had a lot of bang ups, but can't remember if I have actually broken any bones

[diverdownjt]

124. trust ne.....

If you broke it you would know it......

[vercetti2021]

45. 20

I'm pretty boring for a 29 year old

[Still Sensible]

46. I got 7!

Of course given birth is a freebie!

[Kaleva]

47. As I suffer from explosive diarrhea, sky diving & zip lining is not in my future.

[wnylib]

106. The earthbound world thanks you.

[Kaleva]

114. Skydiving, observers on the ground could track my descent by the brown plume I leave behind

I could post the pic of a bungee jumper who apparently had loose bowel issues.

[wnylib]

121. I'll take a pass on the pic.

[Fla Dem]

49. 13 am I am mightily impressed with those of you who scored 10 or less.

A 3! Yowser!

[GeorgeGist]

50. 8

[Rorey]

51. 12, but I feel that my life has been full

There are a whole lot of things that aren't on the list that I've done that have been awesome. Or dangerous. Or crazy.

[Heartstrings]

52. 10 here!

[onecaliberal]

53. I scored 10.

[FM123]

55. 8 or 9. I don't quite remember about one of those things....

[Wabbajack_]

56. I went in an ambulance at an auto show does that count?

[CottonBear]

57. 8. N/T

[wendyb-NC]

59. My score is 9.

Eaten food that fell on the floor, Ha Ha, that's funny. Of course I have.

[Kali]

60. well I may be boring now, but I never really thought I was just because I haven't done a few things

never jumped out of an airplane, had braces, got a tattoo, dyed my hair, sung karaoke, gone scuba diving (lots of snorkeling, though), or gone on a big zip line (have played on small ones)

oh and I have eaten some VERY strange things but oddly never had sushi

[Doc_Technical]

61. 12

Just call me Mr. Excitement.

[Wolf Frankula]

62. 8 for me

Mostly they involved swimming or giving birth.

Wolf

[Ilsa]

63. 7. I'm ok with that. nt

[secondwind]

64. 7 here

[KY_EnviroGuy]

65. A 14 but all the girls used to say I was a 10.

(just kidding).........


KY.....

[jmowreader]

67. I got a 13

"Given birth" isn't applicable so I didn't answer it.

[Duppers]

69. 9. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

71. 11. I'm not sure if this is good or bad.

[stopwastingmymoney]

72. I'm 10

I’ve been skydiving and zip lining but never broken a bone or been in an ambulance

[marble falls]

74. 10, but I really don't want to sing karioki. And you wouldn't want me to ...

and giving birth is out of my wheelhouse.

[Rebl2]

75. Got you beat at 22

I must be dead.

[Moral Compass]

76. 8

[cate94]

77. 5 or 6

I have three tattoos, they are just dots for aiming radiation. Part of me thinks they shouldn’t count because they weren’t by choice and represent nothing. OTOH, they do represent something... 5 or 6?

[The Polack MSgt]

133. Those Tats count for WAY more than the half dozen

I got as a young dumb kid.

Get all the credits my friend

[redstatebluegirl]

78. I've never been one but 10.

[TrogL]

79. 8

The giving birth thing would be a reach.

[mnhtnbb]

80. Mine is 9

[rickyhall]

81. 12

Did ride on a train 57 years ago, from Ft.Worth to Colorado Springs.

[CaptainTruth]

82. I'm 9.

[iscooterliberally]

83. I got 4

The things I haven't done are sky diving, tattoos, piercings and given birth. It's not too late for me to get it down to just one, but tattoos and piercings just don't appeal to me. Birth will never happen. I don't have any great desire to go sky diving either.

[Dem2theMax]

84. 7 here.

This was fun. It took me back to a lot of good memories.
Especially the one about skinny dipping in the ocean.

😁

[Blue_Tires]

86. 10... I don't count "giving birth" since it's impossible.

[hunter]

87. Mine is 4.

Haven't been skydiving, haven't had braces, haven't gotten a tattoo, haven't given birth.

I have been bungee jumping and have suffered long dental procedures, if that counts.

I don't have any tattoos because I have a phobia about needles. Getting a simple flu shot is pushing my limits.

I was really good at skipping school even before I quit high school entirely. In college I was twice forced to take time outs, the first time for fighting with a teaching assistant. I once flunked organic chemistry because I could make a lot of money skipping class to move furniture.

My ear was pierced by a woman who was probably laying claim to me. It was our good fortune the spell didn't take. It was some very dangerous magic we were playing with.

It occurs to me the women in my life tend to have lower scores on this quiz than I do. There's a lot of ones and zeros among my siblings, relatives, and in-laws. For most of the ambulance rides they haven't been the patient.

[ekelly]

89. Mine is a 2.

I’ve never been skydiving or eaten sushi.

[BHDem53]

90. I'm 18

and I like it.

[SilasSouleII]

113. Calm down A.C. fan

[MerryBlooms]

91. 8

[LudwigPastorius]

92. I'm an 11.

Zzzzz....

Although, tattoos are so ubiquitous now, I would argue that NOT having one is more interesting.

[BigOleDummy]

94. 6 for this guy

As a male one of those is impossible but I DO have a daughter and grandkids....... soooooooooooo 5.5? ;D

[demigoddess]

95. I'm a 19, and I have lived in France,

Spain

[pazzyanne]

96. Mine is 14.

Call me boring on this list. However I have done a lot not on the list.

[Olafjoy]

98. 3 for me

No tattoo, skydiving, or braces. Contemplating a tat.

[VWolf]

116. Do it - you won't regret it n/t

[IronLionZion]

100. 7 or 8, not sure if camping in a cabin counts

some camping purists claim tent or nothing, in that case it would be 8 for me.

[Stonepounder]

101. I'm a 10. Not sure if that's good or bad.

[NewJeffCT]

102. Does a BB Gun

count as a gun?

Obviously, never given birth

no tattoos, no skydiving, no ziplining, no skinny dipping, and no piercings, oh and never dyed my hair

So, 7 or 8 depending on the BB Gun answer.

[49jim]

103. My score is 15.

Never gave birth-nothing pierced-broken a bone and many others. However, went to "special beach" in St. Martin.

[subterranean]

104. Another 11 here.

This list is pretty random. It might be interesting to see it done as a poll, so we could see what percentage of us have never skipped school, gone skinny dipping, watched Star Wars, etc.

[handmade34]

105. oh my... 3

there is something wrong with me

never skydived ...but I have flown in a glider at +10,000ft thought I was going to throw up

never been scuba diving …but have tried on the suit

no braces on my teeth …but I had an external fixator on my broken leg for weeks

and to be fair, the tattoo was temporary

[VWolf]

117. Scuba is other-worldly. Do it while you can.

Same for skydiving, but I can understand your reservations.

Still … you could easily be a 1.

[wnylib]

107. 13 here.

[tblue37]

108. 15. nt

[Mersky]

109. 11

I don’t have a good reason for not having a tattoo.

[get the red out]

110. I'm boring (10) but have different excitements

But my husband and dogs don't care. Neither do I!

But there are other exciting things (for me), competing in Dog Agility with my Layla, nothing like running the "mouth of the south" and trying to keep up on cueing her as she blasts through the course. Shelter called her litter Border Collie mix, I think they nailed it.

[SCVDem]

111. 11 here

What?

[llmart]

112. 13 here but...

I think we could come up with a better list.

For instance, is dying one's hair really an exciting or especially dare devilish act?
Giving birth is only pertinent to one gender.
I considered myself having gone on a cruise, but it was one of those dinner cruises when vacationing in Hawaii.
Is skipping a class in college considered skipping school?
I've traveled out of the country but I live in the Detroit area and Canada is 20 minutes away, so I've been there many times.
For those of us who are older, braces were rather rare back in the day. Only the rich kids got them.

It was fun taking the test anyway.

[VWolf]

115. 3! Stay thirsty, my friends!

Never had braces or a piercing.
Can't give birth.

[handmade34]

119. well... there is

"Birth of an Idea"


you may not want to watch the video... it's pretty bad


https://vimeo.com/3442652

[kimbutgar]

120. 5 have had opportunities to scuba dive and skydive

Both times I mentioned to my parents I was going to do it and they lost their minds shaming me into promising not to do it.

[Collimator]

122. My score is ten.

No tattoos, no babies, no karaoke and no official massage. (That's what you mean, right?) I have never scuba dived or skinny dipped. I may never travel outside the country. [sigh] If there is a zip line out there that can hold my weight, hell, I'll give it a try.

I vaguely remember riding in a limo to my brother's wedding. And I have been near famous people, does that count? David Morse, from the show, St. Elsewhere, was waited on by the customer service rep next to me in the returns department at IKEA once.

I, meanwhile, was waiting on an obnoxious young woman who wanted a return on a balsa wood utensil holder costing all of $3. She had no receipt and the thing had soap scum and mold on the plastic bottom, but hey, she-just-bought-it-and-look-what-happened.

Tennis champion, Pam Shriver, was in a student group visiting the classroom that I was teaching in back in 1979. She looked right at me, and I was introduced by name to the group. Surely that must count? And Frances Nuyen once winked at me when we passed in the hall at a sci-fi convention. Wow, am I cool or what?

All the other things that I did do don't feel like that big a deal. Does getting a ticket make you a cool bad-ass when you cry for an hour and half afterwards because the cop yelled at you?

[Silver Gaia]

125. 11, and...

out of those, theres only one I'm planning to do someday, and one more that I might do or might combine with the other one. The rest are things I'm either GLAD never happened, didn't need to do or have, or have no desire whatsoever to do. I'm good with this score. No regrets!

[NCLefty]

128. 14. :p

[The Polack MSgt]

130. 4

Never had braces or babies never dyed my hair or went on a cruise.

But a lot of these were one and done incidents

[importDavid]

131. I got two! :)

Never:
- Had braces
- Given birth

Disclaimer:
- Gotten a tattoo (nothing permanent but several Henna tattoos)
- Gotten anything pierced (left ear for a hoop many years ago)

[hunter]

134. Teaching a writing class I'd say pick three experiences and write a story about each.

Two of your stories must be true, one has to be fiction.

I might write about braces. I've never had braces myself but I could easily write about it because my children had braces and they did everything they could to make their misery my misery.

When their braces were finally removed, believe me, I was as happy as they were.

[Dukkha]

135. 7

Given birth is just not possible I don't have the right plumbing.
