Thread: Been There, Done That (Third Edition)

Been There, Done That
Inspired by the final monologue from the movie Blade Runner,
we ask you to post a list of memorable/unusual things you’ve seen or done in your travels - we call it
Been There, Done That.

Tears in the Rain,
“I’ve seen things, you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”

My list
I have
--hiked ‘near enough’ to an active lava flow.
--seen the sunrise over the Grand Canyon and the sunset over Waimea Canyon.
--judged a chili contest. A last second replacement, which now that I think of it, should of set off warning alarms.
--went spelunking and was up to my boots in bat droppings ( no one ever mentions that in the brochures)
--been in a straitjacket -audience volunteer, Vegas stage; you didn’t think I ……


--ate deep fried nutria. It was part of a lunch special w/fries and drink, kinda tasted like chicken. It was only later I found out about the orange teeth .
--sat in the cockpit of a P-15 Mustang while a Tuskegee Airman stood by and reminisced
--seen a thunder and lightning storm on the Great plains.
--in the wilds of Maui I defended my family against a ferocious salamander attack with only a flashlight and a glass of water. Actually there wasn’t much of a battle, as when I arrived the kids were jumping around and yelling “get it, get it , get it”, and “Lil Sally” was making a quick exit out the window.
--sang “Hey Jude” on the London Eye. Not the entire song, just the first few lines and skipped right to the end. Everybody joined in.
Na na na, na na, na na na na. Hey Jude
