Sorry I'm a day late. Here are my Friday Five questions:

1: How fast have you driven in a car? About 145 MPH
2: How fast have you rode on a motorcycle? 125 MPH
3: Have you ever been SCUBA diving? A lot! FL Keys, every notable place in the Caribbean, and even The GBR in Australia! :D
4: Have you ever been snorkeling? Can't snorkel, I drown. Found it was much easier to bring your own air with you. :thumbs:
5: What was the longest you've ever gone without sleeping? 2-1/2 days, burning a cow that had anthrax.

Bonus question: When was the first time you played hooky from school? When I was in high school in Huntsville,AL, a bunch of us loaded up in a van and went to the docks to go swimming. Lots of great diving and cannonballs!😛 We went back about 5th period, clothes still dropping wet, and obediently lined up at the assistant-principal's office for our 3-licks. With big grins on our face, we each told him that it was well worth the price of 3 licks!😁
 
When was the first time you played hooky from school?
10th grade from school. My girlfriend and I had a great time!
 
When was the first time you played hooky from school? It was kindergarten for me. We would go on the playground and then take a nap after that. I hated naps, so I snuck off the playground and ran home. Mom wasn't happy with me.
Don't forget to pick someone to do this week's questions!!

in college
in highschool and before we were all good German kids and didn't skip school. But we did go to the bar across the street sometimes on our break and shoot pool ( no rules against that there) and one time we were mad at a teacher for making a test too hard ( there are no curves over there either) and stayed longer than the break. He came and got us LOL
 
Dang it, didn’t see the bonus. Played sick a few times 8n elementary school, first time I did it without the parents knowing was junior year in high school with my girlfriend, in the effort to keep the forum rated PG…I’ll just say we studied some biology and anatomy together that day. I learned more than I would’ve had in class anyway…

1. Think of a politician or celebrity you despise. What is one positive thing about them? I mean it, has to be positive and redeeming. No back handed compliments.

2. Name one anti-bucket list item. Something you experienced, possibly as a bucket list item, but in the end didn’t care for at all and never want to do again.

3. Imagine you opened a food truck in the area in which you reside. What type of cuisine would you sell and what would your specialty dish be?

4. What is your most controversial belief? Something that goes against the mainstream, maybe even the mainstream thinking of this very forum.

5. You are required to change you first name, but you get to select a new one. What would your new first name be?

Damn Marsh. These are tough. More thought required
 
I'm going for it......1) Ellen Degenerris ( can't spell his/her name) is really funny! A total a-hole, but genuinely funny!! 2) I don't do bucket lists! It's either going to happen or not! 3) Texas Mex, specialty= tongue tacos! 4) My controversial belief is that the government WILL take our land and everything we own! Don't bother prepping for more than weather events! 5) Laurel, it's the name my Mom originally picked out for me!!

Great Questions D. Really make you think.

1.) Robert DeNiro. A great actor who is seriously deranged about politics. He has ruined his reputation by running his mouth. If it is politicians I would include every Democrat that has been elected since 1992, but none of them have any redeeming values.

2.) Skiing. It wasn't a bucket list item, but I did it once and will never do it again.

3.) I would probably specialize in some of the novelty items we have here, but you can't get in other parts of the country.

4.) We are not a country of immigrants. We never have been. Early settlers were not immigrants they were explorers. There was not a country emigrate to. The highest the immigrant population has ever been was and still is today around 15%. We are Americans, born and raised here.

5.) Morgan. I have a vested interest, although, I would much rather change my last name than my first name.
