That's because California juries refuse to convict celebrities, with Phil Spector being the sole exception. Sucks for him
Wow, that's really cool
I was fixated by Perfect Filtration! I was literally tense the whole way through it, very good
Had my 7th birthday party while waiting in line for the Empire Strikes Back during its opening weekend.
My mom and some other saint took 9 kids to see the movie, we got there way early since we knew we'd have to sit together to keep us all in line. While waiting, my mom ran off and brought back the fold out tablecloth, plates, cake and stuff. 50 total strangers sang happy birthday to me along with my friends.
Nerdy as hell, but awesome.
Other than that, let's see...
Coached a women's ice hockey team that was playing against a team where Martina Navratilova now plays for fun.
Had an Apple IIgs and converted it into a 386 in a fit of rage when Apple discontinued the Apple II line in lieu of the Mac line. This was back in my "Who needs an ***** mouse" phase.
Donated more to a political candidate than I made in salaried income that year.
Worked for the #1 PC manufacturer, and then the year after was hired as the Mac and Linux specialist for another company.
And a whole bunch of other boring stuff.

Seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show in theatre lots of times (complete with costumes, and all props)
Went bungee jumping indoors
Was president of an Atari computer club
Sky dived off the first plane I was ever on
Successfully used the pickup line "Hi babe, wanna pet my wookie?" while star wars was in the theaters.
Got caught having sex in public... three times. (Slow learner)
Dating a girl with the same birthday as me. (day, month and year!)

Been to Spain, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Amsterdam, and England on one trip- I went with a youth group as part of my synagouge's confirmation. I know some people can say they have been to these places but how many can say they did them all on one trip and in about 8 weeks or so.
We do that in the space of a week when traveling home from our yearly holiday to Poland
But it is a fantastic ride isn't it? Sometimes chuck in Germany too if we have time. I prefer moving around that staying put for a holiday and viewing all that scenery.
Been there- fished there.
Pulled Vinyl records to play on the radio at the local rock station while I was 10 years old.
Stood on Johnny Carson's Star on the tonight show stage in the late 70's.
High jumped 6 feet 10 1/2 inches
Tried to run a marathon in racing flats- I made it 19 miles had to use some crappy nice racing flats because my training shoes were locked in the high school locker room!!
Saw Chico from Chico and the man at the NBC studios two days before he killed himself.
Have an official "Revenge of the Jedi" button before they changed name to Return of the Jedi.
Hit the exact same divot hole on the green 4 feet from the pin on a par 3 that my father-in-law just made! His went close to the hole- mine shot directly left after hitting the divot.
Went backstage at concerts for Journey, Foreigner, 38 Special, Triumph, Heart, The Outfield, and many other 80's bands.
Driven over 120 MPH in a 1968 Delta 88 Oldsmobile on a highway before it was every open to drive on. (The damn car was still accelerating after 120!!!)
Family member count?
(My wife sat right next to Barack Obama at a round table a year + ago.
She still hasn't washed the sweater she wore.)
(My father pinned a microphone on Dolly Partons...em....you know what....
....proudest day of his life I think- beside me graduation from college. I was the first out of 6 to graduate.)
(My father pinned a microphone on Dolly Partons...em....you know what....
You graduation?
Hmm...
You graduation?

Woops, me graduation...er...I mean "my graduation!"
Oh yeah, I bet there are not any teachers of second and third graders on these forums...especially one who is a man.
Stay at home dad for 6 years...by choice...NOT because I couldn't hold a job.

50 bonus points for being a teacher of either gender.
touched a live human heart while it was still beating
Touched a hot placenta immediately post-partum
bang a pipe to clear a clog,
knocked joint loose-tons of water pouring out
grabbed huge pot to catch water.....
dumped pot of water down the same drain ....
then repeat!!
dumped a huge pumpkin pie onto the bottom of the oven while it is hot!
Lets just say it smelled like Thanksgiving for months after that. Never got it all out of the oven door- luckily it was a rental property.

Agreed! Lee, those are really cool!
And if you watch Perfect Filtration with the sound off, it's freaking hilarious! The CYOA in it is just so totally unexpected! oh.. Pop the director upside the head for not choosing Kill GWB!
BL.

I'm ignoring the first part of your post, but I believe it's pronounced Mac Oh Sex.
I have seen the after life or maybe that was just me with about 10x the caffeine im supposed to have.
industrial.com
I got it because we liked industrial music. The people that bought it for $50,000 wanted to make it a portal for all things industrial (business-wise). They never did anything with it.
