I've never... Have you? [Archive] - Literature Network Forums

Scheherazade

06-24-2005, 10:10 AM

Here is another version of 'Well, I've never...'

We will say something we haven't done but only someone who has actually done that can reply AND say something they haven't done...

E.g. 'I've never been to Greece.'---> 'I have. I was in Greece for two weeks in 1999. I've never been to a rock concert.' etc.

PS: Please try not to kill the game! :D

I've never had spray cheese.

I've never been to Finland.

Koa

06-24-2005, 08:34 PM

I wonder if any of our members have been to Finland (sure there's a Finnish girl aorund sometimes but does that count?).
If in some time noone claims to have been...well I was planning to go to Finland in the next months (though the first attempt of plan didnt work out) as one of my friends will be living there for some time and I like to visit people around the world.

Taliesin

06-25-2005, 06:56 AM

We have been to Finland.
Several times.

We have never been in prison.

Snukes

06-25-2005, 07:38 AM

NO one's gonna WANT to answer that! hehe! Uh, no... I have never been in prison either. Unless you count a visit once on a school field trip?

Koa

06-25-2005, 08:36 AM

Oh right I forgot about Taliesin being a sort of neighbour to Finland...

Snukes, if I was to decide, that trip would count...

Monica

06-25-2005, 08:54 AM

I also was in the prison. But also as a trip from school (with our priest). A frightening experience.

I've never done bungee jumping

Scheherazade

I've never been to prison, but like Scher I know a bunch of people who have. But that really doesn't count.

I've never read War and Peace

kilted exile

Nightshade

I never died my hair red but I once put one of those comes out with first wash highlights in that was red didnt show though such a wate of money...

I've never drank rum.

Miranda

06-25-2005, 07:34 PM

I've never been to prison either, but I like rum though I ain't drank it often. I have never been to the moon but I would like to, if I could get there and back in no time at all cos I don't like enclosed spaces. But I would like the experience of standing on the moon and looking back at the earth. It must be so quiet, unearthly - literally - and so beautiful, just the stars and you..and hopefully a spacecraft to get you home.

Love Miranda

I have never caused myself alcohol intoxication to the point of fainting.

Miss Darcy

Er...neither have I.

In fact never taken alcohol. *Cough, cough...wonder why*

kilted exile

06-27-2005, 05:44 PM

Ok, I can definetely cover the alcohol to fainting...On a birthday one year I had a few too many tequilas (by few, I mean around 8 or 9), and woke up the next evening on a couch belonging to someone I only vaguely knew.

imthefoolonthehill

I have. I've never shoplifted.

Koa

06-28-2005, 12:38 PM

By the way, what I thought of the only kind of gelato: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=gelato

Exactly...gelato is the Italian word for icecream so it made me wonder to see it used as it was a perfectly American word and assumed it was referring to something else... So that custardy eggy thing is not icecream I guess...?

---------------------------

Back to the game ehm..oh well I did...but only once, ages ago, I swear *embarassed*...(and I confess just for the sake of the game)

I have cared about my boyfriends, though some were idiots. Perhaps that made me one as well. ( Oh dear, now it´s sound like I´ve had tons of them)

I have never had a boyfriend who did not read poetry.

mono

06-29-2005, 05:23 AM

I have had a Platonic friend, who happened to fit the male gender (:D), who detested poetry. Needless to say, we have lost contact over the years, due to our vastly different interests.

I have never required any serious surgery (not including the very minor surgery of getting my wisdom teeth extracted).

HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME!!

I am actually taking a Faulkner class this summer, but I've already read all the novels we're covering (but not all the short stories).

Butterfly_83

Koa

06-30-2005, 09:31 AM

Paella is Spanish and, Butterfly_83, you're supposed to answer if you have done the thing asked in the last post :) Or at least that's how I assumed the game should work.

Anyway I have had paella though I doubt it was as it should be when Spanish make it, I think I have eaten duck before and I have had a slow computer... so now they're all solved :D

Snukes

I have never watched Shrek (and it seems weird to many people)

chmpman

06-30-2005, 05:02 PM

I have watched Shrek. The first is a modern animated classic but the second one is a let down.

I have never broken a bone in my body.

mono

06-30-2005, 06:59 PM

I stupidly broke my fourth digit's ("ring finger") middle knuckle on my left hand, while being very clumsy.

shortysweetp

Scheherazade

During my university years, I had overnight train journeys often.

I haven't had meat.

I have never read Catcher in the Rye.

Miss Darcy

07-01-2005, 01:44 AM

Neither. :(

I've never been on a long train ride. Well, not that I can remember, anyway. (But I suppose that's not necessary to say anymore since Scher has)

imthefoolonthehill

07-01-2005, 02:04 AM

I've read catcher in the rye and just finished reading franny and zooey (pretty darn good except for the ending)

I was also on a semi-long train ride from Frankfurt to Koln.

I've never gone skinny dipping.

mono

07-01-2005, 02:10 AM

Well (*sigh), I guess someone must speak up on this one, despite the coldness of Oregon waters. :blush:

I have never read anything by Joseph Conrad.

Scheherazade

07-01-2005, 02:22 AM

I have read Under Western Eyes and Secret Sharer.

I have never worked as a waitress.

Isagel

07-01-2005, 03:06 AM

I have. It was at a café in an open air museum and I had to wear a silly beginning of the century maid costume. I had to wear a small cap with lace on it.

I have never finished anything reading anything by Joyce. If you have, please give me a good reason to try again. I am thinking about starting over with Ulysses, for the sake of self education. I´ll bring it to the cottage, and then I´ll be forced to read it. No other books there, and no computer to waste time with.

Scheherazade

07-01-2005, 03:16 AM

I have read A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (thanks to the Book Club). It wasn't an easy read but it was worth it. Maybe you can start on that one rather than Ulysses, which, I hear, is much 'more complicated than Portrait.

I haven't read any Stephen King books.

imthefoolonthehill

07-01-2005, 03:43 AM

I've read all sorts of Stephen king books, from Misery to the Shining to Insomnia ... the list goes on and on. most were pretty good. he knows how to tell an absurd story absurdly well.

I've never done yoga

shortysweetp

Nightshade

I have travelled by train in egypt, and I think when very small in Germany?
All i remeber from when i was little is that we slept on the train and it had beds!

I have never had a pinapple pizza.

Snukes

I have. You're not missing much. :p

I have never been in (or run away from) a hurricane.

mono

07-01-2005, 03:24 PM

- mono have you ever been to the nude beach there. i think its in the columbia gorge not far from Multnomah falls. rooster rock? is it still there?
Yes, it still exists, but I could never go there, or another near Sauvie Island - way too shy! :blush:

I have avoided a hurricane, running into a local cellar while traveling with family; as yet, I have never ran so quickly.

I have never witnessed a tornado.

Miss Darcy

07-02-2005, 01:04 AM

- oh and miss darcy i do believe that real sushi has raw fish in it unless that is just an american thing

They sell that as well in Tokyo Sushi over here...the sort with fish sticking out of it...but they also have vegetarian sushi, and other flavours with meat instead of fish, and other stuff as well. :confused:

I've done yoga, only the most basic exercises with my mum when I was little, though. (Not had any time lately!!!)

I have never witnessed a tornado, but my dad stayed not far away from Bunbury in Western Australia at the time they had one there, does that count? :D Apparently it was so strong that a grand piano was moved to the other end of a large room. Well, lots of damage, but no serious injuries.

We've also had mini-cyclones in Queensland. In my street, that is. ;)

I've never snowboarded.

chmpman

07-02-2005, 01:13 AM

I've snowboarded a few times. I live in Montana so I should be a pro, but I never got into it until late, only last winter.

I have never been east of the Mississippi (or very near it on the western side either, but i figure this is a fair divide)

Jay

07-02-2005, 07:00 AM

If we're thinking all-around-the-world kinda 'east of Mississippi' and not only in the US, I've never been anywhere else but east of Mississippi. (ie I have been east of Mississippi :p ;))

I've never done diving, of any kind.

Monica

07-02-2005, 07:44 AM

I have. It was when I was in Sicily and I loved it. Great fun. And breathtaking sights.

I have never been on a rock concert (hoping to be on Tuesday. U2 are coming to my city :D)

mono

07-02-2005, 03:10 PM

I have attended and performed many rock concerts - too many that I fear the worst for my hearing later in life. :p

I have never gotten into a physical fight.

Helga

07-02-2005, 06:08 PM

I have never asked a guy out..

Miss Darcy

07-03-2005, 05:16 AM

Neither. :D Well...I once asked one of my friends to be on our team for a teenage chess thing, since it was meant to be two boys and two girls, but that doesn't count. Obviously.

Okay, the game got a little confusing, so I guess I will respond to both:

I have never made my own sherbet.
(but will soon)
I have, and it turned out surprisingly well, after resulting in a very messy kitchen.

I wanted to date one of my professors...
Eh, I spent some time with one of my former professors, a very pleasant, intelligent gentleman, and I think he considered it dating, but I did not.

I have never had the ability to draw/sketch well.

Bianca Fransen

07-13-2005, 03:41 PM

I cannot draw or sketch well also. I like to pretend though :brow:. Take a sketchbook, put myself on a bench in a city and look interesting.. :cool:. People always ask me whether I am an artist or not :lol:. Not.

I have never kissed a girl.

Okay, here goes:

i have never eaten scrapple.
Before my vegetarian days, years ago, a family member tricked me into trying this, without knowing what it consisted of (needless to say, I felt a little ill after knowing :p).

i have never watched all of wuthering heights which was on tonight. watched a piece of it and it didnt go along with the books so i turned it off
I watched the 1939 version, and did not feel too impressed, but somewhat enjoyed it.

I have never kissed a girl.
I have kissed a few girls in my time, but not a great amount, always feeling quite shy. :blush:

I have never driven or ridden a moped.

Miss Darcy

07-25-2005, 03:16 AM

My answer this time: what on earth is a moped?
Is it one of those motorbike things with an extra seat attached? If so, my grandad (or great-grandad, I can't remember, I never met any of my male grandparents) had one of those...does that count? :D

If so, I've never eaten meat (though I'm NOT so sure of never having said that before :D) or fish. (Or chicken)

I have been published in print. I wrote an article on the state of Scottish football (soccer) which was published in a newspaper (I even got my own photobyline)

I also have never taken a raw artichoke and cooked it.

I have had scotch on the rocks (it was bought for me).
*Rant* Scotch whisky should never be had with ice, and certainly not with lemon :rage: 2 fingers of Scotch should be put in a glass and only a very small amount of water added to release the flavour.*Rant over*

I believe House music, in parts of Europe, refer to what most Americans call techno and electronica.
Well, I have tried to dance to it, after much coaxing from a friend, and lots of drinks.

I have never burned myself severely.

papayahed

07-29-2005, 05:09 PM

Depend what you mean by "severely"? But I have been burned often:
1. I was reaching into the oven when the door shut on my arm and left a nice chunk of skin on the oven door.
2. At work I was reaching behind a tank being careful to avoid the steam pipes, but I wasn't careful enough and burned myself, I've never seen a burn blister so big.
3. At work I was driving a hi lo and I thought a tote was empty, but it wasn't and I splashed a strong acid onto my face (don't worry, I'm still pretty)
4. At work I splashed a caustic solution and a drop landed on my lip, that wasn't really a burn, but boy did that smart.

I've never eaten Haggis.

Ehm, I am not sure what it is.. so I guess I have never eaten it.

Ugh, I admit, I have eaten haggis before, many years ago, during my omnivore days; a friend tricked me into eating it, and it surprisingly did not taste that badly, until my friend told me what it consisted of, then I felt quite ill. :eek2:

i have never gotten drunk on vodka (as in i have never had enough vodka to get drunk)

Basil

07-31-2005, 02:25 AM

When I first started drinking, I only drank vodka and lots of it. Cape Cods, vodka tonics, screwdrivers, fuzzy navels--all good choices.

As I grew older, I switched from "light" liquor to "dark" liquor. Bourbon or whiskey became my choice. One night, after I returned to my house with a bottle of bourbon I'd just purchased, my roommate told me he preferred it when I drank vodka to when I drank dark liquor. When I asked why, he told me that dark liquor made me "belligerent." I laughed, and told him he was crazy.

A couple of hours later, the bottle almost empty, I sat in the corner of our apartment, seething with rage. Belligerent, huh? How dare he call me that! If belligerent was what he wanted, then I'd show him belligerent, by God!! We had guests over but it scarcely mattered to me; the affront, after all, was too great to be ignored.

Using some lame pretense, I clumsily attacked my roommate. My roommate (who outweighed me by about 60 pounds) easily and almost gently took me to the ground and proceeded to sit on my chest, pinning my arms to the ground. I told him to let me go. I called him a coward. I told him if he'd just let me up, I'd beat the tar out of him. He said he'd let me go if I promised not to try and fight him again. I told him to go to hell. He said I only acted this way when I drank dark liquor. While all this was going on, there were about six people standing around us--me on my back, helpless under the weight of my roommate.

After about fifteen minutes, I said I wouldn't try to fight him anymore. He told me to promise. I promised. He got to his feet and backed away. I got to my feet, stood there unsteadily for a second . . . and then suddenly, without warning, I charged my roommate again.

Again, he took me to the ground. This time, he sat on my chest for almost half an hour before I promised not to try to fight him again. I kept my word, too: at that point, I just wanted to go to sleep.

These days, I just drink beer.

I have never been to a zoo.

I have contributed to a whole comic strip; since I cannot draw well to save my life, I wrote the dialogue, while a friend of mine, very good at drawing, made the pictures. What we titled it in high school, I cannot remember, but very funny.

Oh I've got a good one - we have an emu-in-residence at our family farm. Does that count?

I have never told a (proper) lie. (White lies, i.e. saying "I'd love to" when I wouldn't exactly LOVE to don't count.) May sound a bit funny, what with my user title :rolleyes: but you can do trickster work through mere implication. No lies necessary.

i have never been on a sea-doo or jet ski
I have, and had fun, but felt terrified most of all.

I have never carried a spider in my hand.
I remember at a large school assembly at my elementary school, during my childhood, zoologists featured all sorts of animals, and allowed us to hold various ones, like spiders, snakes, a scorpion, ducks, chicks, and an iguana (which I have wanted since).

Do you mean the habanero pepper, by chance?
If so, a few months ago, I did something very stupid, having eaten a sauce of raw, concentrated habanero peppers (by itself); needless to say, I regretted it very quickly. My eyes welled and poured with tears, I felt very ill in my stomach, and I could only taste the worst burning sensation I have felt in my mouth for hours. :eek2:
Honestly, I would recommend this kind of dumb act to no one.
