I have been on the radio or TV -- Yep, both actually. Plus I've been in a Hollywood movie.

I have had a near-death experience -- My Argentinian colleague decided he needed to drive like an Argentinian as we were plummeting down this 1-lane road at 16,000 feet elevation in the Andes. The "ditch" was a 2000 m drop to a canyon below. I thought for sure I was dead like 5 or 6 times on that drive.

I have had something valuable stolen from me -- 2 months ago, someone broke into my house and stole about $3k in electronics.

I have had to dial 911 -- Yep, a couple of times. One for a car accident, and another for a friend to got hurt.

I have written someone a letter -- Duh. I'm old, remember? How else would people communicate pre-internet?

I have been in a car crash -- A couple of them. None too serious, other than the deer that decided to jump onto the hood of my car when I was going 80 mph. Fucker ruined the best car I've ever owned.

I have visited another country -- Six to be exact (Mexico, Canada, Jamaica, Argentina, Iceland, and Sweden)

I can roll my tongue -- sure

Hey Curtis, put down the nuggets and get out more.

Let's see...

Radio: I was interviewed a couple times each season I was captain of the track or cross country team while in high school for the weekly sports show.

TV: I was on local access TV in high school for a quiz bowl competition, then on the local sports report a bunch during their sports segments. I've also given a public lecture at the University I work at, which was then broadcast on the university's cable channel.

Movie: I was an extra in the Hollywood (non-)blockbuster, Angus. Since that movie is older than most of the people here, and it wasn't even good enough to make it to release on DVD, I doubt most people have seen it. It did have James Van der Beek and Ariana Richards (the girl from Jurassic Park) in it, plus a couple other people you might know.
