I usually hate these sort of memes, but here is The Yes or No quiz, (at least this mutation) via Bob Mike:
Rules:
- You can ONLY answer Yes or No.
- You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone messages or comments you and asks. — and believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming because nothing is exactly as it seems.
Now, here’s what you’re supposed to do: Copy and paste this into your notes, delete my answers, type in your answers and tag as many of your friends as you’d like to.

I was surprised at the number of things on there I’ve never done…I need to live more.
Kissed any one of your Facebook friends? — Yes
Was… was it while I was sleeping?

I think that our apparent closeness on this may be something that can be attributed to the wording, and the fact that I tended to skew on the side of caution. For example, I’ve never totaled my car in an accident, because I don’t own a car. I have, however, been in a car accident in which a car was totaled (Hell, I was in two fairly serious accidents last year alone). I’ve never eaten my kid’s Halloween candy (no kid), but I have eaten someone else’s kid’s Halloween candy. If “streaked” had been replaced by “been naked in public”, it would be another yes.
Also, I should have said “yes” to “been in a band”. I forgot about the church choir I was in as a kid.

Yes, but more because it was an extremely tame list.

No. You were high. You liked it at the time.

Rock on. I’m picturing blue-haired old ladies headbanging and flashing the sign of the — um — cross?

Me too, by the way.
I agree that the list is fairly tame. I’d go through to trouble of creating a better one, but I don’t know too many people who would be comfortable posting their “Yes” answers in public, which would defeat the purpose.
Also: You’ve never played a prank on someone? Seriously? What the Hell kind of older brother are you?
What the Hell kind of older brother are you?
Oh, well, yeah, I guess I’m up to 48. I think I appended “as an adult” to that.
Regarding my younger brother, Dave will confirm that the steamed rice and the hot pepper flakes were not in the same beverage.
Oh. Booyeah. I’ve been on TV. Local TV. It would be way cooler if the list had had “Interviewed in the New York Times?” Bigger booyeah.
49.
What the Hell kind of older brother are you?
Also, to be fair: my parents didn’t have a steamer trunk and my brother didn’t have cleats. Or something.
Wait, you’ve never played a prank on someone as an adult?!?
Hi, welcome back.
No, I don’t think I have. I really don’t like what I classify as pranks, but which maybe are closer to practical jokes. I’m not entirely sure I know the difference, but setting someone up to unintentionally play the fool is not a rich source of humor for me.
It is entirely possible that I’m clueless or misremembering, however.
I think you have an overly mean-spirited definition of ‘prank’. I was just having a conversation with someone about how amusement at others’ expense is not how I prefer to spend my time; however, well thought out pranks, played on someone who you know will enjoy them rather than be annoyed or hurt, is an excellent past-time
And I’m not back from anywhere, in fact I’m leaving again…

You’re back to posting on mcgees.org again — all I meant.
But your travels do make for interesting Facebook reading.
