"A supposedly fun thing I'll never do again"
Wand'rin star Started conversation Jun 9, 2000
is the title of a book I'm currently reading which I think would make a good companion thread for the things we've done for the first time. To kick off then:
1)I'm never going to byt another book on the title alone
2)I shall never take another picture of Chinese roofs unless I've got a zoom lens
3)I will not order spaghetti or noodles in places that don't have knives to cut them into manageable lengths
4)I shall not sit through another evening of music I don't like because one of my friends is singing in the choir.
5) I will never buy another underwired bra
6)I will never drink "fruit punch" again.
7)I will never ever fly with British Airways again
I will now go off to lunch and try to think of some more.

I will try very hard to proof read entries before posting. That's "buy" not "byt".

I will never again ride Montezuma's Revenge at Knott's Berry Farm, or, for that matter, any roller coaster which travels at high speed in reverse. Any thrill factor is completely erased by the neck pain, and the pain lasts much longer than the adrenaline.
I will never again pick up a golf club, except for a putter at the mini-golf course.
I will never again spend $50 per seat to see an LA Kings hockey game, as the $10 seats are better.
I will never again play the slot machines in Vegas, unless I reach a financial station where pissing away $40 in ten minutes becomes a desirable outcome.
I will never again come into contact with snow if it can be avoided in any way.

Why not fly with BA? Lufthansa is even worse. I once met such a nice guy on a BA flight - a Canadian fighter pilot - we had a great natter and discovered we were both on our ways to different peoples' 40th birthday parties.
I WILL NEVER get on skis again, or ice skates.
If I had the choice, I wouldn't get on a bike either.
I don't see the point of going down a helter-skelter or slide or chute or roller coaster more than once.

1) I will never lose my virginity again {thank goodness}.
2) I will never give birth again {hooray!}
3) I will never ride a bike again.
4) I absolutely positively will never, ever smoke another cigarette....{6 and a half years since I gave it up, but hey, who's counting?}
5) I will never mix spirits (alcoholic!) on the same evening.....
6) I will never sleep with my son's father again......
7) I am never going to be persuaded to try sado/masochistic sex again.
8) I will never set foot in another circus.
9) I like my long nails, I bit them as a child, till I was 16 years old, I will never bite them again {even in moments of exceptional stress}.
10) I will never go to a football match again....

My list has quite an overlap with other lists - snow, rollercoasters etc.
However, here are some extras:
I will never buy any music that has "Best of" or "Essential" in the title.
I will never sit through an awful film/concert/show again. Especially if it features anything by Ivor Novello.
I will never go to Los Angeles again.
I will never go skinny dipping again.
I will never queue to see a movie again.
I will never sleep in a small tent again.
I will never buy fashionable shoes again.
I will never go on a boozy weekend again.
Of course, I may change my mind at short notice about any of the above, depending on the company! Except the bit about Ivor Novello.

I will never again;
Indulge in water sports,
Go on a blind date,
Set up a blind date,
Eat Oysters,
Smoke a cigar,
Do the "Macarena",
Do the Conga,
This list will expand!

Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor Posted Aug 16, 2000
You mean you once did the "Macarena"????
{and I hope that's not the "water sports" I saw once on Eurotrash...}

And whats wrong with water sports (I meane the clean kind)
My list is very short.
I will never againe defend a docter in the presance of Bob Pantron saint of weird statments I still have a scare from that one.
Other than that I have done nearly everything on every bodys list at some point I dont know wethe I should admit to that but it is a little late now.

Hello Vince,
There is nothing wrong with *clean* water sports....
I just wanted to clarify that that's what he meant!

Here's a couple:
I will never again smoke an entire pack of clove cigarettes over the course of seven hours.
I will never pick up my cat under his ribs--what a stink comes out the rear when his stomach is under the least pressure! I can only hope this will change when he gets older...
I will never ride my bicycle while wearing sandals and shorts...
I will never smoke pungent, aromatic, leafy substances, no matter how good I might convince myself it might feel to do so.
I will, WILL, read David Foster Wallace books, no matter the title, because he's one of the best modern authors alive today. If you don't like "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again", DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, read "Infinfite Jest". Don't.
OK, that's more than a couple.
:^)

I'll never hang around waiting for some website which uses 'Flash' to load. It's never worth it....

I won't allow myself to be tied to the bed by someone with a bad memory...
I mean - how can someone go shopping and forget about you???

That may be the unanswerable question...

I won't post that sort of confession under my real name as I once did.

Another few;
I will never hold a snake of the constricting variety.
I will never, e-e-ever climb rocks at the beach when the tide's coming in (resulting in a death-defying scramble to safety)!
I will never attempt the 'YMCA' moves while ice skating for the first time in years, (though the steward that picked me up was rather nice) come to that;
I will never go ice skating again!
I will never use a weir as a waterchute again (fantastic fun but all very ill after from all the rat's wee in the water, e-eauuugh!)
