Nope, I'm older than the both of you, 'never say never' is a quote from WAY before even James Bond.

I've never heard Justin Bieber and as an old rock fan, from what I've been told I have no intention of changing that.

Never is not a word I use often.  Life is meant to be experienced so why limit with preconceived notions?

 

However, I did swear that I would never get a sex change operation.  But I promise that in every country I visit.  Except Thailand.  And we don't talk about Thailand.

 

So, in summary, "never" bad.  "Never again", acceptable.

Hugh.G.Rection:

Thailand has the 'Vegas rule eh?

 

What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand?

I think Vegas stole that saying from Thailand.  I am very glad I never found a real job in that country.  I would be a (albeit happy) dried up husk mumbling to myself in some corner of a forgotten bar.

Thailand, apart from the sleaze factor, is one of my favorite countries.  It is clean, the people are really friendly, the food is amazing, beautiful sites and it has a very rich culture.  I really love that place.

Dog and chicken feet. got stuck having to eat chicken feet once and i'll never do it again. I really enjoy silk worms. I've also had Cow penis and lamb penis.

The food thing doesn't really bother me to much

I will eat anything eatable once (even sober)

the things that I stay clear of with the exception of crossing a road

is things that will cause pain like bungee jumping or

jumping out of a perfectly good airplane

Nope. No Chicken feet, never, ever!

 

I will not eat them in a box.

I will not eat them with a fox.

I will not eat them in a house.

I will not eat them with a mouse.

I would not like them here or there.

I would not like them anywhere.

I will not eat those chicken feet.

They're small and crunchy; without meat.

 

mArtiAn:

Ok, no chicken feet, we get it. How about a lovely plate of green eggs and ham? Or a muffin!?

No...

 

I would not eat them wearing black,

or dressed up in a yellow mac.

Besides the feet, no chicken neck

shall e'er be served upon my deck.

 

No frying them in gasoline

or bouncing high, quite in-between

rotating blades that swish and cut,

and leather seats fit for my butt.

 

With LCD lights generating,

from CF's I'll be separating!

I would not give them to my Rover

nor eat them on a Power mower!

The only thing I demanded was never to be taken to a place that serves dog or cat. I would show the Chinese crazy if they ever fed me cat or dog.  I think it is so morally wrong to eat creatures that developed to be our partners. Actually the thought that anything has to die so I can eat bothers me, but chickens are not very bright. I think we score very low on looking after the planet and other creatures, we have war, murder, violence. Humans aren't really evolved, just fucked up. So I won't eat cat or dog, people maybe, well the females anyway.

I will not eat the "drunk shrimp".  In my area it is popular to place live shrimp in a bowl and cover them with baijiu.  Once they have succumbed to alcohol poisoning and are barely wiggling they are eaten alive. 

Createach:

That's cool mate....where you at?!!!......i might come and try that...who doesn't like a drunk shrimp...double effect.....getting drunk and eating at the same time some seafood..now that's the ultimate experience

Xpat.John:

Reminds me of "7 snake wine".  7 live snakes are put in a big jug of baiju and eventually drown in it.  Then you are supposed to drink the baiju that has 7 dead animals in it.  To be honest, it tasted just as awful as every other cup of baiju I have ever had.
