Does skydiving count?
It's only illegal if you get caught.

And the first step to getting caught is talking about it...
I guess the only thing I can think of is winning two Presidental Awards for Academic Excellence. Whatever happened in high school, I have no clue... My life since then has been pretty, well, uhmmm, dull... Except for the birth of my children, and that for me has been pretty cool, and unique.

I won the Nobel Peace Prize. No wait, that wasn't me that went to some other guy who hasn't done squat.
But I did get to sit in the pilot seat of a 747 flying back from Saudi while we were over the Atlantic. It was awesome.
The other cool thing was I got to ride out on a fire engine respoding to a call.
God has let me have a really cool life.

Played a high school playoff game at Texas Stadium. That was pretty cool...
I would never talk about it, that guy deserved to have his head cut off with a recipricating saw while tied to a chair looking in a mirror starting from back to front so he could watch longer!
Attempted to get my Alcohol Funny Car Licenses.
Then you had to make a 60ft pass, a half track pass and a full track pass and they mean full track! 1,320ft.
I tried 3 times to make a full track pass but lifted early every time around the 1,200 ft mark or so.
That's when I realized 230 MPH is dam fast and faster than I wanted to go in a carbon fiber coffin.
0-60ft is the most awesome rush I every had. 3G's and 130MPH in 60ft!
At 1,000 ft the car is making so much power you are riding a speeding bullet with basically no control.
I think that if it had been a rear engine dragster I would have been OK, but when the body comes down you feel as confined as you really are and it's un-nerving.
Out side of that, flying in a 727 simulator was pretty cool. I only crashed 4 times on landing - dam air speed!!!!

Hiked through 40 miles of the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico, and got lost doing it.
Sprinted into traffic to make sure a 3 year old baby who had wandered away from home didn't get hit. I was certain that I was going to get hit doing that, but did it anyway.
Chatted with a couple of police officers on my back lawn with a loaded pistol riding just under my shirt, knowing they wouldn't care that it was there and couldn't say anything about it if they did - that was just too cool and a big first for me. That was a big day, since the reason the officers were there was to take custody of my first and only triple citizen's arrest.
But I think the coolest thing I've ever done was get the hell out of California and move to Texas!
