What is something you've done that you believe very few other people have done? Only one caveat: it can't be interesting, cool, or jealousy-provoking.

Oh com'on, really? You're coming to FFC's rescue? That's nice. Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pick on the poor fella, with his own movie studio and all, I know he's got it rough. I liked a lot of his other stuff, if that helps.
It's a real post, and watching that was
- a real thing I did that not many other people did, and
- I don't think anyone will think is cool or will make them jealous.
Perfect example of the kind of thing I meant. If you don't have one, don't post. I thought I'd hear some funny things people had to say, and maybe some interesting ones as well.
I'm jealous you managed to finish it in a single sitting. I'm still not done, started and stopped three times so far.
I place is squarely in the "It insists upon itself." category of movies.

Rode 190 kms on a unicycle one day.

One time I farted on an airplane and wondered if any human had ever farted at those exact global coordinate besides me, does that count?
Over water: maybe. Over land: lolno.

I saw the entire original broadcast run of Clerks: The Animated Series. All both episodes.
Only six episodes were produced, and they eventually aired, but I did not find this out until years later. The internet ended a longstanding era where you could be aware of and interested in something, but know fuck-all about it, and have no sensible way of learning more. So I'd heard of Kevin Smith movies - but never seen any. Watching the Clerks movie would have taken a trip to a physical video-rental store, with my parents, and then convincing them (and myself) to rent a vulgar black-and-white movie for all of us to watch together. Wasn't happening.
I was more likely to rent and watch any of the R-rated films that somehow got cartoon adaptations - which were part of that same impotent awareness. Robocop and Ghostbusters and fuckin' Starship Troopers were advertised anywhere and everywhere, and kids liked the shallow cool parts in the trailers, so executives said "fuck it" and licensed no-budget G-rated spinoffs to sell toys.
Anyway. The Clerks animated series exists because Disney wanted an adult-ish show to compete with The Simpsons. Everyone did. Disney knew they had a gap in their demographics for twenty-something dorks with disposable income. Aaand then they handed the finished episodes to ABC, who used a focus group of old farts and children. Of course it bombed. The premiere was the fourth episode produced, which stuck the characters in a courtroom drama, and ended with a wacky consequence-free style change wherein the outsourced animators rebelled and delivered a lolrandom dance party. The second and final episode aired was a fake clip show full of flashbacks to episodes that did not exist.
At least Clone High got an entire season.

When I was in my middle school I rode my bike in a circle for 7hrs. It was on a bet for a lizard. If I could do it my dad would have to buy my a bearded dragon. I got the dragon. I had that thang on me. But he passed away

I once come up with a theory that everyone sees their feet the same size.
Because if they're large you're tall and further from them, and if they're small you're short and closer.
And that's why my penis looks so small too right? Right,?

I have been 'interviewed' by the Secret Service 2x in my life.
Both times because I was a young dumbass, and both times I am sure they wrote in my official file: 'harmless dumbass'.
I knew a guy from the US that was also interviewed by some 3 letter agency because his girlfriend was Russian. This was like 20 years ago.

I fell off a short bridge into a ditch, got up, started walking up out of the ditch. Realised I couldn't breathe (winded) and then fell back into the same ditch, unconscious.
Had the most psychedelic dream I've ever had, and woke up to someone tending to my wounds.

Drank breast milk straight from the source as an adult. I highly recommend it if you get the opportunity though.

Airplanes fly typical routes, so it's possible, but not guaranteed.

Quite a resume. You have many talents. A good-looking musician I'd say.
Would you recommend your path to others just setting out on their journey?

Is that different than oral? Do you have the experience to compare and contrast?

Ate a whole bar of soap in high school. I was in a military school, and it was an initiation/bet in a certain extracurricular group.
At practice one day, they asked if anyone wanted to earn $300. All the hands shot up.Then they asked if anyone wanted to eat soap. All hands drop. Then, they asked if anyone wanted to eat a bar of soap for $300. Me and one other dude raised our hands again. After practice we went back to the dorm of one of the group leaders where they laid out the rules: entry fee is $25. One bar of soap, cut into six pieces. The four smaller pieces are too be eaten in one bite, chewed minimum of ten times, and swallowed. The two bigger pieces had to be bitten in half, chewed, and swallowed. If you got all the soap down, you had to keep it down for 15 minutes. If you get this far, you keep all the entry fees of everyone that's failed before you.
Guy before me taps out halfway through. I finish, and hold it down for the required 15 minutes, as the leaders get more and more agitated. After i win and they give me my money, I'm informed that I've just ruined the party they hold every year after the last major inspection is completed. Turns out, they've been running this scam for years as a way to grift money from younger members to fund their own shenanigans. I'm told that I'm not to return to practice the following day, as I'm not longer a member of the club.
Joined yearbook instead, and bought a lot of pizza for my friends that semester.
