Ricky Anderson: Things I've Done Once

Things I've Done Once

I used to be a professional magician.

I did exactly one show, but when you get paid for something, that makes you a professional, right?

It was a kid's birthday party. The kids were bored during the show.

When boogers and armpit farts are more interesting than your show, it's time to retire.

Juggled in front of an actual audience.

Wanna see me juggle three balls? Yay! Wanna see me do it again? Hello?

Gotten married.

She hasn't left yet!

During my entire three month career as a loan officer, I closed one loan.

It was for my in-laws, God bless 'em.

Performed a song using a nose flute. It was a duet with my mom, who also used a nose flute.

This is an actual instrument. Google it.

International travel

We went to Mexico once when I was five. I bought a guitar for 50 cents.

What's something you've done once?

Many things. Met a guy in college and had ONE DATE and never saw him again. True story.

Yeah, sorry about that. Had to go overseas for my CIA posting. Didn't want to drag you into that.

That made me smile, Ricky - pretty sure you were not around when I was in College :) CIA - or no CIA :)

I rapped in front of a large crowd in Brazil. I was introduced as a famous American rap artist.

But not for long!

Quit spoiling the surprises, you.

Hey, I didn't spoil it. You spoiled it. I just provided an opportunity for you to spoil it. I'm helpful like that.

You might think I'm a monster, but I'll admit this anyway: I once stomped a gopher that was destroying one of the church flowerbeds. I was wearing my Michael Vick Nikes at the time.

You get a pass because it was in service to the church.

Also, I don't like gophers.

So there's more to the story... There's still hope that you might think I'm a monster. My son, 12 or 13 at the time, came up to me and said "Hey Dad, come here! There's a mouse that's really cool over here." I went over thinking there was no way we'd see anything, but sure enough, this gopher was poking it's head out of the dirt. My son said "Look, I can feed it" and held out a blade of grass for it to take. It did. I said "Son, I'm sorry. But that's a gopher. It's a garden pest and I have to kill it. Turn around." He did and I did what I had to do. To this day he still gives me grief over "Henry."

You still get a pass.

I'm not a pet person, so it would take a heckuva lot to get the monster label.

At least you had your son turn around. Nobody needs to see gophers.

I'm sorry to have injured you. Now I want more coffee.

If you did anything recreational related to heights, then you, Sir, are insane.

18" is my maximum height.

I ate prunes and peed on the playground in front of a bunch of girls when I was in 2nd grade on a dare. Not at the same time though.

a nose flute?? i think you made that up.

i've done a lot of things once/for a short season of my life:
1) 6th grade basketball team. where i only took one shot during the whole season. missed it.
2) 9th grade track and field, where i ran the 200 meters once, and then switched to shot-put. where i didn't come in last place once.
3) 11th grade tennis team, where i won one match.
4) ran a house painting business for a summer. don't hire college-works painters.
5) got into a relationship once, almost five years ago. still with him.

Hey Ricky, seeing that you have stopped by my site a couple of times, I stopped by here to see who was stalking me. And to show you that my intentions are honorable, I will even answer your question. I once had a perm that made me look like Ruth Buzzy. You are likely too young to know who that is, so look it up, but have a bucket nearby.
