I did not get on AA 20/20 bandwagon.
I have never done a mileage run.
I did not fly on first class until this year, when I pretended to be my wife (name Lee)
I have never been bumped.
I have never been an elite level on NW or any airline...this was the breakthrough year until my mother in law shot my plan down, I was about to purchase NWorldVacations's special cyberfare to Bangkok, my wife had to let her mother know, who went ballistic that we are nuts since Osama was watching for our plane to shoot it down!
I left my digital camera in the Chicago Hilton room...surprisingly, I noticed it walking towards the terminal, I went back and the sweet housecleaning lady had returned it (I gave her a good tip)...happily I walked to the terminal again only to discover that my cell phone was missing, I had to go back up to the room and look for it, gone, running out of time to miss the plane, wondering on the flight that some very lucky person was calling his extended family, walking to the parking lot in Detroit I noticed a very weird sound coming from my suitcase, I opened it to find my cell phone in my shoe!!!!!
I killed my first goldfish by overfeeding it, the food label said to feed it "several times a day", so I did, after 5 days of getting a super belly right out of a horror movie flick
Dennis (his name) finally became a martyr
When I first heard of Latin Pass I thought it was a pass to a night club
I sincerely thought the Lions were going to challenge for the Superbowl this year

I have never been to an airline club, the closest I got in it was seeing that movie with Afleck
I did participate by submitting a ridiculous humiliating picture of me with Healthy Choice stuff to win the 1 million miles contest (if I find the disk, I may show it to 'ya all)...my wife put a copy of it in our refrigerator door, bet ya your own wife has never laughed at you more than my wife did, now how humiliating is that!
Allright, I am running out of things to write, do I win? Regardless, you all have a good and peacefull 2002!

Never traveled for business! 
Never flown NW, CO or HP. Among current-run aircraft, never been on an A320 (plenty of 19s) or a B767.
Last week was the first time I ever remember having to sit in a middle seat. At least it was the second row of Y in a B757; could have been worse.
Never paid more than $100/night for a hotel room. Paid exactly $100 in NYC once; next most was around $72 in a national park lodge. That said, I've never stayed at a Motel 6... then again, never stayed at most nicer "business-class" hotels.
Does driving count? In the space of an hour an a half I got a speeding ticket, ran out of gas and locked my keys in my car. In that order, all separate incidents. I call it the Automotive Triple Crown.

The pathos level is really heating up. Im almost moved to tears.
However, unless Newself can provide a sworn affidavit, I find his claim a little unbelievable. Perhaps he drank so much beer he forgot that he drank.

Although my grandfather was one of the first elites at UA and I have been on a plane at least once a month since I was born, I never joined a frequent flyer program until I was 15.
I lost my passport this weekend. Ugh...it's even worse since I made this one myself (I interned once at an embassy abroad).

After publicly sneering at the MILESPY/Valuemags opportunity to buy miles cheap, saying I needed more airline miles like a hole in the head (see Milesbuzz! MILESPY thread)....
I went ahead and got 50,000 Goldpoints (12,500 miles) by buying Valuemags subscriptions as Christmas gifts! I rationalized this action by deciding that I need to build my miles in ANOTHER airline besides United (where I have about 428,000 miles and growing). I'll probably put the 12,500 miles in AA (where I have only about 21,000).
I guess I could have avoided the humiliation by withholding the initial sneering.

I started planning a get together (SeaDoo III ) before even attending one.
I have never consumed a starbucks coffee product.
Also.. I can vouch for Newself's alcohol free event. I was there...quite frightened by the sight mind you..but there

Hell hath no fury like that of an elite frequent flyer in coach.

Even after 16 cross-country trips and 2 round trips to Europe, I told my father that I thought frequent flyer programs were silly and not worth my time to join.
