I am quite surprised that I managed to kick my Gridblock habit.  Did it just aboot cold turkey with surprising ease.  And I was hooked!  And I have plenty of opportunity while a car pool passenger or watching tv.  Brians are funny things.   And smartphones are aboot the closest thing we have to a direct link to the old brians.

I loved it!  Except I was not real crazy aboot the heights, although they did sometimes feel cool. Bouldering is good for that.

Like, in person? Or on TV?  In person, like almost all sports, is fun - especially if you have a connection like a kid on the team.  I randomly get to a high school game for various family ties, and I always enjoy them even if the execution is pretty "average" compared to college or pro.

I'm not a football or a baseball fan but when someone gives you free tickets I go for the fun of it I just don't pay attention to the game.

Live, like in person.  I do want to go to a pro game at some point, take in the whole tailgating thing.  Just not had the right opportunity(yet)

I was having a hard time thinking of what mine would be and I think this is it. I have never smoked pot.  As a kid I found a bindle of coke a BIL left at my parents house.  I tasted it (like they do on TV shows) and spat it out so I guess I technically have used coke.

When I was testing for PD’s I knew I would have to polygraph so admitted to the coke use.  Most depts laughed it off but a couple DQ’d me on that alone.

It's one reason a driving range is so fun - the guy driving the ball retrieval cart is the best target.  I think a driving range could make seriously money sending people out there in armor to provide target practice for golfers.

College games are a lot of fun for tailgating too.  Yeah there are the kids getting rowdy but there is also a lot of alums & older fans out having a good time.  If you are just going for the experience IMHO college football is much more fun than pro games.

Me either..unless you count the time the girls down the hall in the dorm blocked their door with a rug...and the smoke followed the heat run...I think we unintentionally got a little high due to their stupidity.

If you're only going to one, I'd pick a big college game., preferably a big rivalry game.

Yeah, that part is sort of fun too!  I’ll never forget watching a high shot heading toward a condo parking lot and thankfully finding bare blacktop to bounce off of instead of all the cars there.

I'd fail the polygraph.  They'd ask if I killed JFK, I'd say no (mostly because I didn't) and I suspect it would go off anyhow.  I have a horrible guilty conscience.

Don;t worry!  The JPK killing was much less publicized than the JFK killing, so they'll never ask, and your secret is safe with us.

I've never tried diving (because I can't swim) or any water sport, rock-climbing (a nephew has become addicted), pot (I was given free sample of weed but threw it away after it sat on my desk for 2 months), any illegal drugs, eyeliner (it freaks me out to put chemicals near membrane), colouring my hair, hard liquor (I'm mildly allergic, but will drink 6-7 sips of white wine before I get a flush), downhill skiing (going down a bunny hill on x-country skis is enough), horseback riding (but I rode a donkey in Greece), etc.

Don't underestimate knowing how to ride a bike. I've met women who tell me enviously they wished they had learned to ride a bike as a child.

I've never gone snow skiing.

In college, I was too poor during the Winter break to go with friends for a week at a ski resort in MD or PA and had to work full time to save money.

Afterward, not being a fan of cold weather, I never went.

Maybe that's something I should do while I'm still young enough to do it just for the experience.

I wasn't a big fan of whitewater rafting but it was a great thrill in 2017 and I want to do it again after the pandemic's over.  Maybe I'll like skiing.

I went to some sort of regional pro soccer in Greece.  For sure, soccer fans went nuts.  Then later, we were in Europe coincidentally, during the semi-finals for FIFA,...so in Czech Republic, Denmark there were big jumbo screens in town squares to watch and pubs were busy at night. Just tons of crowds and people draped in their team sport national flags.  The atmosphere would have been like something akin Canada-Russia hockey games back in the 1970's where nationalism was at its peak.  Or some of the recent Olympic semi final hockey games.

I've never played soccer.  Never wanted to even try.   Basketball or bike riding is (was for basketball) what I liked to do.

Yeah... that's about how good I was at golf.  One golf course had homes on both sides of the fairways.  I lost a LOT of balls that day.   I could hear them bouncing off of homes, patio furniture, etc... NO WAY was I going to go for those golf balls.   I gave up on golf a LONG time ago.

LIke you I have never and will never skydive nor bungy jump.  I have a bit fear of heights and have no interest go backwards from great heights over water (I can't swim..I'm sorry).

My courage/daring..has happened to other areas of life which has nothing to do with sports.

I have a close friend here in town, who used to go on golfing vacations with some other women:  the Carolinas (explain to me the hot golfing areas), Arizona, some of the mountain areas..

Polygraphs are really odd. I had taken several of them and conscious really doesn’t factor into how they work.  

One of the things the polygrapher does is give you a series of questions to see how your body reacts to deception. For example they will tell you to say yes to every question. Then will ask, is your name Mike? Yes, Dave, Yes. Chris? Yes... Then he’ll have you pick a number from 1-5 and not tell him. Then they will tell you to say say no to all of the questions.  One? No.  Two, No and so forth.  I’ll be damn if they didn’t pick the number every time.

Then they start asking you the questions they want answered.  Mine were preemployment/clearance related and had more to do with deception or false info on the application.

I would agree on a college game for tailgating. WoScrapr & I had a primo spot for almost 10 years. Late season game we could have 50-75 people there. It was hard to tell because the tailgates all blend together. Some of our funnest times. I'd be careful on rivalry games. There can be some strange stuff going down after. Every time our little group would visit our rival we hung together. There was stuff being thrown at us & near fights after the game(we lost-they won...why you wanna fight?)

for @Zephyr you could go down to U Washington. We have had some fun there. We went pre game to a bar then rode a boat to the game

Our rivalry game was last night. We won on our "home" field. But no fans in  attendance. Just cardboard cutouts. One video showed up bunch of cardboard cutout fans "rushing" the field...ie: laying in the endzone

Craft beer, they were not around when I was drinking.

Trying to think of what I haven't tried that still appeals to me. I would like to try sailing; hang gliding and wind surfing are losing their appeal as I age. You should act on your desires before you out grow them, or maybe not
