Thats crazy, but at the time I'll bet it was exciting and embarrassing. Marine's are crazy, I know, I am married to one. It's probably better off you were caught. I have sooooooooo many of these stories, it's hard to pick between them. I was such a wild one, you name it, I probably did it, but on most, I'll plead the fifth.

What to choose? What to choose? I, too, have many crazy stories from my youth, many of them inappropriate for this board, I'm afraid.

Ok, here's an acceptable one. When I was 19, I ran away to Montreal for six months to visit my best friend Tasha, who had done the cross-continent-in-a-VW-bus thing, and had landed there when the van broke down. One afternoon, while we were sitting on a patio downtown having coffee, we started talking to a man, who as it turned out, was the PR manager for the band Verve Pipe, who was playing that night. He offered to get us on the guest list.

Well, it was more than just a guest list. They gave us bracelets when we arrived, allowing for free-flowing drinks. When no one was dancing, Tash and I decided that it was up to us to get the place moving. We spent about ten minutes being the only people dancing, and the band invited us up on stage. So now we're dancing, on stage witht the band, and the place has picked up a bit - there's probably 100 people on the floor, and another few hundred milling about. Thanks to the bracelets on our wrists, we're sufficiently drunk, and Tasha, bless her soul, is NOT a graceful girl, even sober. She's over 6ft tall and built to match. She lost her footing while trying to dance (on stage), and went tumbling backwards into one of the speakers or amps on stage. This of course, tipped backwards and crashed into the drum kit. I'm not making this up. The band stopped, helped Tasha up, and led us off the stage.

Well, the band found us after the show was over (yes, we stuck around after that!) and, feeling bad that Tash had fallen, invited us backstage. Many beers later, long story short... as we headed out the back door to smoke with the drummer... we set off the fire alarm on the way out the "EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY" door. I scanned a pic of us that night: (lead singer in left pic, drummer in right, me in yellow)



And a new IF question:
IF you could eliminate a single kind of danger, other than death, for your children, what would it be?

Hmm,I think fear is needed. If you do not fear anything,and are fearless you are not living in reality. Think about dangerous dogs,traffic,strangers.

I think Gidget got the right answer. Though I like the idea of a Barney free world, too.

IF you were to complete the phrase, "A life without love...", how would you finish it?

would really, really suck.

IF you could find anything, except money, in the family attic, what would you like to discover?

Labels to all the mega-old photos, and stories to go along with them.

All of my old relatives have left us, and I don't know anything about our family pre-1940, despite having inherited photos from early 1900's.

I'd love to find some old love letters from my grandparents, or something sentimental and nostalgic like that.

IF you could have the worlds largest collection of one thing, what would it be?
