have you never done, but you believe most other people have?
Feel free to comment on other's posts, but you have to offer your own list, to play.
1. I've never seen the Grand Canyon 2. I've never punched a time clock 3. I don't know how to fix anything that you can't use a hammer on.

And here I thought you were going to say, "are not like the other?"

1. I've never ordered a drink in a bar. 2. I've never listened to a whole NPR program. 3. I've never been to New York.

Really?!? Never ordered a drink in a bar? No NPR? I'm oddly sad now.

I never took a course in speech or accounting. Even in high school.

hhmm... I spent more time not in academia then in it so the job thing is out. Let's see:
1. I've not been to the Grand Canyon either, although I've flown over it. 2. I've never bought or sold anything on eBay 3. I know how to change a tire (I think), but I've never done it. (silently thanks who ever is listening for AAA)
I have taken speech & accounting, I've been to NYC, spent far too much time in bars, and listen to NPR on my 60 minute each way 2-times a week commute. Oh, and I worked far too many jobs with time clocks. Like discordia, I've never seen Lost. (I thought the premise was silly and it wouldn't make it one season. ha! )
yyummm.. funnel cake. with powered sugar & extra grease, to go please.

PM, I'm with you on NPR. I think it's only among academics that that's considered normal. I've never been to the Grand Canyon either. I'm from too far East. And I've never seen Lost. The funnel cake bit is just sad. The date, eh. I'm trying to come up with something, but I just keep thinking "Well I never been to Spain". True enough, but I'm not sure it counts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm6qw_yeo6o

Really?!? Never ordered a drink in a bar? No NPR? I'm oddly sad now. Sorry. I haven't actually had a drink in more than ten years and before that the only bar in town was very scary so I never went. NPR does not accord well with either my libertarian politics or my rural living preferences. 1. I've never watched Lost 2. I've never been on an actual "date," where it was called a "date" etc. 3. I've never had a funnel cake
Discordia, are you me? Wait, I've been on one date, sixteen years ago. We went to see a double bill of "The Wall" and "Heavy Metal". The movies were memorable. The rest of the date was not.

I have never taken a philosophy course (How is it I earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree?). 3. I have never been intoxicated. 4. I have never been to the Grand Canyon. 5. I have never seen Lost. 6. I have never listened to a whole NPR show. 7. I have never punched a time clock.

Do people even "date" anymore? I'm just sayin'. I've "hung out", "had drinks," "gone to the bar/club/restaurant," and even "hooked up" but have never been "asked out on a date." Well, too late for that now anyway.

Well, since you played on my thread...
Before I answer, you should know that your #1 stole my thunder, as now I am not so sure that most people have done it.
1. I have never purchased a car with an automatic transmission. 2. I have never taken a trip with an SO that involved staying more than two nights. 3. I have never seen Deliverance.
(Dang, that was harder than I thought it was going to be.)
On preview, JP's was good. I haven't done that either. As for Discordia, I have never purchased a TV and the one that was given to me was dropped in delivery, so didn't really work very well. The point being, there are LOTS of shows that I have never watched.
On preview, preview, I may get to say that I never got a chance to post to this thread:)
How can Prairie Home Companion go against rural living?
On preview whatever the heck number I am on, I have never been a bridesmaid either. Y'all make so much more sense than I do.
On preview....DANG, we were all looking for a flashmob tonight!
