In no particular order:

2. Be a bridesmaid
3. Do a cartwheel
4. Play a game of chess
5. Mow a lawn
6. Watch an episode of Lost
7. Play Monopoly
8. Drink a cup of black coffee
9. See Casablanca
10. Swim a lap
I think it's cool that my friend John has never tasted ketchup. What ordinary things have YOU never done?

You can fix #1 right now. Unless you are allergic or something.
I have never...seen The Godfather. Or watched an entire episode of The Simpsons. I'm having a hard time with this - I'll try anything!

Hi Jen,
Let's see:
1. I've never created a MySpace or Facebook page.
2. I've never made a peanut butter and banana sandwich, even to explore the Elvis angle. Maybe I'll do that later today.
3. I've never been a bridesmaid, either. But I'm a guy.
4. I've never done a cartwheel. But that would be really dangerous and disturbing on a couple of different levels, if I did it now.
5. I've never WON a game of chess. Even against myself.
6. I've never successfully AVOIDED mowing a lawn.
7. I've never seen Lost, Desperate Housewives, Gray's Anatomy, Sex and the City, Will and Grace, or 30 Rock. And I'm ok with that.
8. I've never played Monopoly without slowly feeling my will to live being sucked away.
9. I did try black coffee. Once. But I didn't inhale.
10. I've never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's, An Affair to Remember, or Friday the 13th parts V, VI, VII or CXXVIII.

Never did....
Most of my never dids are never-seens. I've never seen any of the Godfather movies, nor any of the Sopranos episodes (mob-based dramas, guess they're not my thing!) I have never seen an episode of Friends.
I have never sung at a karaoke bar.
I've never played on a Playstation, Gameboy, or XBox
I've never read anything by Charles Dickens (and I was an English major! How did that happen?)
I've also never read anything by Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Scott Turow, or most other 'best-sellers.'
I'll probably think of more in the middle of the night, but that's it for now. xo Alison.
well, I never...
1) Despite being a sci-fi geek, I've never seen "2001."
2) Never took a chemistry class.
3) Never had milk on cereal (at least that I can remember).

I've never been a bridesmaid either! Nor have I gotten married.
I've done the other things you listed....hmm. This is challenging because if you haven't done it, it probably doesn't seem ordinary.
I haven't changed a car tire. Or watched a whole episode of Seinfeld.
I've never...
1. Done a successful cartwheel
2. Eaten lamb, escargot or veal, despite being a carnivore
3. Seen any of the Harry Potter movies
4. Mowed a lawn
5. Eaten pickle relish, despite loving pickles
...Hmm. I should think of more.
(I cruised in via your Twitter, I'm "surlyride" on there. I'm a fan of your show, your site, your fashion sense and your brother's work-- and being a novice nerd, also have your web design book!... and i just realized this makes me sound like some stalker nut.)

Until recently I'd never
Until recently I'd never tried ketchup. I grew up in a family that used BBQ sauce for pretty much everything that others use ketchup for. I still don't like ketchup
Normal Things I've Never Done
1. Brushed my teeth
2. felt "empathy"
3. piloted a jet
(I think I've actually done every normal thing, ever.)

I've never mowed a lawn
I've never mowed a lawn either! Don't plan to. Nope. Nosiree. I've done the rest of these things though, you freak.
