I Never Started A Meme Before

Here's how this one works:

I'm going to say something I've NEVER done as the first comment. Then if you HAVE done it, you answer with something you've never done. Then the next person responds only if they HAVE done the action above, by writing in comments something they have never done.

Strategy suggestion: You should pick something that a lot of other people HAVE done, so that there is a better chance of keeping the meme moving. So if you say, "I have never played saxophone in the rain on a friday", this thing won't get very far. Get it?

OK, So here goes. Enter your own comment only if you HAVE done whatever the most recent comment says, with your own thing you have NEVER done.

I'll go first.

I have never given birth to twins.

9. Lars Walker - 08/23/2008 9:50 pm CDT

(That giving birth to twins business kind of stops the meme cold, doesn't it?)

10. Shrode - 08/24/2008 6:00 am CDT

Yes, it does. Jen, with love, I am sure hoping there's a reader out there who has given birth to twins, otherwise you killed the cleverest thing I've done in months. ;-)

Oh, and hey Bill, what's a "light fandango"?

And Andrew, can you tell the snake story?

11. Bill - 08/24/2008 7:47 am CDT

A light fandango is something that you trip.

That's all I know about it, because I've never done it. :-)

12. Bill - 08/24/2008 7:48 am CDT

(it's also the first line in Procol Harem's Whiter Shade of Pale)

13. Andrew - 08/24/2008 9:26 am CDT

In elementary school, one of our teachers arranged for a snake to be brought in. It was fangless, but I wanted to get myself in the meme, so it counts.

14. Simon - 08/24/2008 12:22 pm CDT

Ah, the wonderful dead meme pool... you have just claimed another life.

15. Beau - 08/24/2008 3:50 pm CDT

Jen sends her regrets for the dead meme from the bed of nausea....

16. MzEllen - 08/25/2008 6:38 pm CDT

I've been pregnant with twins (twice)...but never given birth. Might that help continue the meme?

I've never enjoyed Dallas (never been outside of the airport except to walk from the terminal to the little bitty plane that took me home)

17. Jared's Mom - 08/25/2008 7:52 pm CDT

I've never been to Boston in the Fall.;-)

18. jen - 08/26/2008 10:29 am CDT

I'm so sorry. I had twins on the brain because I was afraid that I was carrying twins. Fortunately, we have just one in the oven.

19. Linda Gilmore - 08/26/2008 11:59 am CDT

Well, I've had one in the oven (6 times :) ), so here goes. I've never been to Spain.
