Being 70 years young here very soon, I got to thinking about things I've never done in my short life.....and quite likely never will.
Of course, there are many more, but these are some that came to me pretty quickly.
1) parachuted out of a perfectly running airplane
2) eaten balut
3) played golf
4) joined any social networking sites (IE: ********, mylife, etc)
5) hmmmm.....oh....negged anyone here.
Responses could be interesting from any willing participants.
Or, guess I'll see you on page (2) by 10:00 hours PST.
Carry on.....and a good day to all.

You know, you could do all of those things in an afternoon if you wanted.
I have never seen walking dead or e.t. Also have never scuba dived but would like to."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man.

Crup....
Ha...true....I just have no interest in any of them. (I'll probably get shvt from NorwichGrad for not trying balut yet )
Although, I will keep #5 open just in case.
Yes....scuba diving would be quite enjoyable, especially if one could be looking for artifacts in the Mediterranean.

Thanks....sports don't interest me but I have friends who golf and I"m told it's a pricey pastime here in the Bay Area.

I've jumped out of a plane, but the pilot was an insane Chinaman, and the plane was a fecking deathtrap. I've never been happier to leave a vehicle, and I've been in a car with my wife driving.
I've played golf, and it there is nothing wrong with the sport. But golfers? What a..holes. Fat middle aged blokes who congregate in clubs where there are no women allowed. WTF is up with that?
I have no idea what balut is. Isn't he the bear in the Jungle Book?
******** is a time vacuum. Twitter has some amusing stuff on it, but is an even bigger time vacuum.
I negged Mikieson for mocking disabled kids. What a golfer. Otherwise have never seen the need. Just because you disagree with someone - so what?☻/

Howdy....
Ha...hope your wife doesn't read this one. (wink)
balut:is a developing bird embryo (usually a duck or chicken) that is boiled and eaten from the shell. It originates and is commonly sold as street-food in the Philippines
(I did travel in Europe in 1970 but never got to England)

Neat thread idea Wayne
I have never parachuted (did para sail)
Never scuba dived (No desire, but love underwater video's)
Never been faster than mach 1.2, (920mph) in an aircraft (it will never happen, but I wanna)
Have never met a snake I didn't shy away from (they creep me out)

Floundersbout....
Re: "No thanks".....I get it!....doesn't work for me either.
My wife is a (westernized) Filipina and I'm sure she'd never consider it.
mtpockets.....(on spread for contribution)
Para sailing looks like a blast to me....I would try that.
"never eaten an avacodo".....great, I love those green muthers so the more for me.

Never parachuted either - the risk reward ratio for jumping off things just isn't there for me.
Did some scuba in college - one of the best things I've done so I'd say go for it if you're interested. Our first real dive was a shark dive which felt pretty cool at the time.
Never been on a motorbike. Off-road or motocross looks so much fun.
Never worn corduroy pants, although I'd like to.
Never got punched in the face.
Never got send any nudes.

Few things I've never done but our on my bucket list and one thing I never plan to do.
1. Never seen the earth from space but this will become reasonably priced enough for the average person at some point in my life!
2. Never bungie jumped from a bridge. Did it once from a crane about 100 feet up and was scared as hell. Can't imagine a 500 foot bridge but I'd love to do it.
3. Never driven a supercar but will someday even if just for a few minutes.
4. Never pulled 500lbs from the floor
5. I have never had a life threatening injury and hope I never do. I list this because I've done enough stupid things that it's saying a LOT to have never had one LOL

1) I have also never jumped out of a plane.
2) I have also never scuba-dived and would have more of an inclination to jump out of a plane.
3) I have never downhill skied. I tried water skying once and it didn't do much for me personally, I'd rather drive the boat.
4) I've never gone bear hunting, though I might consider that one too...
5) I've never been to Europe and the way things are going with the world today I just might never get there. I've always wanted to see Switzerland and Italy tbh.Was friends with Methuselah

First I want to see where I lay with your answers..lol
1. Never have and never will.
2. Did, will never do again..drunken stupid days
3. Played it, not so bad, until you realize you have to keep chasing the ball for 9-18 holes. Need more beer.
4. Here and FB
5. Once, when I did not pay attention. Now the guy is off the boards. Trying to find him and give back...oh well.
Now the things I've never done in my life.
1. Just like yours. Nothing good comes from leaving a plane.
2. Bungee Jumping
3. Played Hockey
4. Rock Climbing
5. Never won anything over $10 in the Lottery. Still hoping for this one thoMy Log - https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=170367151&page=50

This is for intents and purposes a social networking site, so yes you have.
Scuba diving is freakin awesome, done it a couple times while in Cozumel, you all are missing out.
Parachuted twice, static line from about 4,000 ft. Was ok but my 2nd time was like "what the fuk am I doing this for?".
Snakes...nope, don't like them one but. Not much I am afraid of but snakes top the list.
You should absolutely see Europe, can be done cheap or as expensive as you want to go. Have been there 4 times now and can't wait to go back. Italy will absolutely ruin all other vacations for you and this may be blasphemy but I prefer northern Italy and the Dolemites over anything south of Pisa...well ok the Amalfi coast ranks up there pretty damn high as well for gorgeous scenery. But the food in northern Italy is the best of anyplace I have ever been."You know that little thing in your head that keeps you from saying things you shouldn't? Yeah, well, I don't have one of those."

Cass......
Good citizen, you are.
Me too....(except for your #3.).
Shvt....I should have saved that admission for when someone starts a "What are your (5) accomplishments in life" thread.
Corbster....
I thought about your comment after I posted....this is an internet site and I am being social.
CaptChip40...
I was too young to put the WWII battlefields on my itinerary went I went to Europe back in 1970.
Bo_Flecks....
Skydiving does look like fun but I just never put that on the 'bucket list'.
Plus, I hear there's no sensation of actually falling....just the wind blowing by at 120 mph. (I might be inaccurate on that)
Squid24....
Good luck finding that elusive person of interest.
WesleySh21....
I've never hunted either. (not in this country anyway)
OTL....
Keep us informed of your virgin jump from a perfectly running airplane.
MrNismo....
I can safely say the 'bungie jumping' will have continue on without my participation.
Thanks for all for contributions and look forward to hearing what others haven't done yet.
I'm on spread with most here and will try to green all contributors going forward.

Copied from the OP's list...
1) parachuted out of a perfectly running airplane--Nope, don't want to, either, but if it's a life or death sitch, I would--duh.
2) eaten balut--yeah, didn't care for it.
3) played golf--Played it a few times, found it as exciting as watching the grass grow, but whatever.
4) joined any social networking sites--I'm on Twitter and ******** to link up with authors as well as prospective readers for my novels. Ain't nothing wrong with that. And Wayne, technically speaking, this forum is a social networking site.
5) hmmmm.....oh....negged anyone here.--Yep, negged a few bigoted a**holes and will do so again. I'm a lot of bad things, but a bigot ain't one of them. I'd like to think I treat everyone the same regardless of what color or religion they are...found out that not a few on this site don't hold the same way of thinking. Phuk 'em.
As for my own five things not yet done:
Bungee jumping--want to do that
Downhill skiing--never done that, and yes, I was born in Canada and no, not everyone does winter sports or is great at them
Eaten sheep's or cow's brain--good way to pick up a fatal illness, so no thanks
Run drugs--what, are you feckin' crazy?
Gone streaking in Times Square--hell, these days people pay me to keep my clothes on"Don't call me Miss Kitty. Just...don't."--Catnip. Check out the Catnip Trilogy on Amazon.com
"Chivalry isn't dead. It just wears a skirt."--Twisted, the YA gender bender deal of the century!

So many people never skiing is weird to me, and when you guys say you never done downhill skiing, does it mean you've done cross country skiing? I've done both my whole like
I'll never ever will bungee jump, parachute, nor scuba dive, but I love parasailing and zip lining, and wanna try rock climbing, that's as far my adventurous nature goes.
