Have you ever...?

[Stegotyranno420]

As in drank it by itself? I've only done that on dares, and not on a daily basis.

Have you ever seen a member of an endangered species in the wild?

What do you expect, I'm Indian

Also to awnser @Lanthanotus question, not that I remember



Have you ever tried doing something calmly, only for you to turn into a arsonist(of course, I'm exaggerating about this, but you get the point)

[Shonisaurus]

Honestly, remember, no, I prefer to do things calmly but I can't think of any nonsense later, such as being an arsonist for example. If I think one thing calmly, it means in my case that I am calm and as a consequence I make correct and good decisions.


Have you ever chewed gum that a filling has detached from a tooth or caused your jaw pain?

[Halichoeres]

Please indulge me in this twofer

@Stegotyranno yes, I too have been an adolescent

@Shonisaurus no, I don't have any fillings, but I suppose I have chewed gum enough to hurt my jaw from time to time.

Have you ever been reading and your face got closer and closer to the page until you realized the sun had set and you needed to turn on a light?

[Ravonium]

Yeah, I believe that's happened to me before.

Have you ever eaten blood sausage?

[indohyus]

In the form of black pudding, yes.

Have you ever found a pterosaur fossil?

[Halichoeres]

Only in the sense of rounding a corner in a museum and seeing one on display. Never in the wild.

Have you ever been stung by a cnidarian?

[Newt]

Only in the sense of rounding a corner in a museum and seeing one on display. Never in the wild.

Have you ever been stung by a cnidarian?

Yes! Several times. I think I attract them. That's why I stay so far inland...


Have you ever gotten so badly lost you began to worry you would never make it back to safety?

[Kotori_Sonoda]

Thankfully not! I can't imagine how that would feel.

have you ever been interviewed by a radio or TV program?

[laticauda]

Yes, local radio and tv.  I always thought I had good things to say during the interviews until I listened (watched) the clip and saw how they edited it.  I like to give information and I felt the edits took too much out of context.  I also sang Don't worry be happy once on the radio, but that wasn't an interview. 

Have you ever been to an event that you paid to go see, but you left half way through?

[Halichoeres]

I've left music festivals early because I disliked the headliners but liked the other bands. Also once because I got injured in the mosh pit.

Have you ever met a personal hero and been disappointed?

[Shonisaurus]

In my case no, all the people whom I have considered personal heroes have fortunately not disappointed me.

Have you slept an average of two hours a day for a maximum of two weeks due to impatience and anxiety about preparing for an exam?

[Halichoeres]

No. I had really bad insomnia as a child, but not related to exams or anxiety. That sounds terrible.

Have you ever tried a delicious food while traveling, and then been unable to find anything like it again upon returning home?

[ceratopsian]

Frequently!  Even when it purports to the same dish with the same ingredients, it just doesn't taste the same once back home.

Have you ever revisited a place you once knew and been disappointed, as it wasn't quite as wonderful as the memory?

[Crackington]

Yes, the Natural History Museum (London) shop once they stopped selling Invictas!

My first time on this thread, it's quite a good one!

Have you ever seen a wild wolf and mistook if for a mangy dog?

[UK]

Not many wolves in the wild in the wild in the UK other than the midlands based ones who are rather mangy.

@Crackington have you ever wondered why your team signed Jermain Defoe?

[Crackington]

No  @UK I never wondered 😉:

I'd forgotten about those UK wolves; used to be a rather nasty pack hanging around in that big underpass on the way to Moleneaux as I recall!

However, the one I saw was on a Bosnian mountain a few years ago with my brother-in-law. When I told him I'd seen a dog, he looked a bit worried and said "vuk - that wasn't a dog, the wolves eat them up here"! We got away ok needless to say!

Have you ever sat on the cake at a birthday party?

[Shonisaurus]

Never that I know of.

Have you ever thought or had a feeling that something bad was going to happen but then it turned out to be a false alarm and nothing had happened?

[ceratopsian]

Never that I know of.

Have you ever thought or had a feeling that something bad was going to happen but then it turned out to be a false alarm and nothing had happened?

Frequently because I'm naturally quite pessimistic.  But of course I'm also right sometimes and something bad does happen!

Have you ever been caught in a flash flood?

[Lanthanotus]

Wouldn`t call it a flash flood, but our tent got totally flooded 10cm or 15 cm deep while we slept in it, our son kept on sleeping on his floating mattress while we flash packed all our stuff in the car..... got caught in the trails of a cyclone once, but it was more lightning than rain that trapped us.

Have you ever been so quite and motionless out in the fields, that a wild animal moved close towards you without getting aware of your presence?

[Newt]

Yes. Once a Carolina short-tailed shrew ambled right up and over my shoe without noticing me.


Have you ever eaten a wild mushroom?
