Ten things

From another blogging meme that is going around, list ten things that others probably have not done.

1. Been robbed by a courteous robber who went back and picked up the album I had dropped and returned it to me after taking my wallet.
2. Made an arrested carrier landing.
3. Had a meal that included curry snake in Sri Lanka.
4. Given a ride and taken out to lunch by Protestant missionaries in Kenya who were driving around in a van that had a license plate from my home state.
5. Sucked on a frozen egg until consumed during Chief’s initiation.
6. Drank so much absinthe in Okinawa that neither myself or my friends noticed that the cab driver had taken us to a marine base some 40 odd miles from where we were stationed. (Kids don’t try this one at home or anywhere else!)
7. Saw George C. Scott as Willie Lomax in Death of a Salesman.
8. As a shellback I wore a self-designed pirate outfit with a parrot I made out of masking tape as I forced wogs to blow water out of pad eyes on the hangar deck as we crossed the equator.
9. Ran continually for an hour on the flightdeck while we transitioned the Suez canal.
10. Played a dead body with a DOA tag on my toe for a television show called Sinister Cinema.
