Ten things meme.

Ten things I've done, which you probably haven't:

1. Dyed monkeys various colors, using Manic Panic hair dye.
2. Seen a Nobel Prize winner naked.
3. Interviewed Transylvanian villagers about their parenting practices.
4. Had ten major surgeries by age 20.
5. Eaten fire.
6. Been thrown out of the Oregon statehouse while brandishing a turkey baster.
7. Been required to supply regular blood samples as a condition of employment.
8. Driven around Nashville at 3am with someone I had just met, looking for someplace to buy condoms.[1]
9. Routinely had people committed to locked psychiatric wards.
10. Driven Mary Daly around in my car.


[1] One of the people on my Friends list has done this. But I bet the rest of you haven't.

7. Been required to supply regular blood samples as a condition of employment.
Well, I had to supply regular urine samples whilst in the Navy. And they could certainly demand blood samples anytime they felt like it, which usually happened at least once a year at my annual physical. But I suppose it's not quite the same thing.

6. Been thrown out of the Oregon statehouse while brandishing a turkey baster.
Now that's got to have a good story behind it!

I occasionally went to court to keep people committed to locked pyschiatric wards, but those days thankfully are over (re-organization of office).

Wow, those are impressive!

I have the most interesting friends. (-:

1, 2, 3: Interesting experiences, but don't fill me with envy.

4, 7, 8: Sound damned unpleasant (though 8 I hope had a pleasant aftermath). Anyone who envies you for 4 belongs under 9.

5: Hope this was a one-shot thing...unless you count Thai food. :-)

6: Admirable but not enviable. Still, it might have been fun, as long as they didn't rough you up.

9: Just a job thing, right?

10: The green color of my face wouldn't come across even on a digital photograph...I was an admirer of Gyn/Ecology even before taking Marilyn Frye's Philosophical Aspects of Feminism course at Michigan State. I'm afraid I found the Wickedary too extreme, however: call me hypersensitive, but I think the term 'Final Solution' should be reserved for activities of which one disapproves.

Mary Daly? Isn't she the radical who says all penetration is rape? I saw her on C-SPAN and was mightily unimpressed. She was going on about how women can't ever possibly be happy and fulfilled in a mixed-gender educational environment. Which, from my own overeducated perspective, is bullshit.

Which Nobel winner was this?

What, nobody's going to ask about the monkeys?
