The Inauguration. Potentially historic no matter who is inaugurated.
APBM,
What historic event would you like to have witnessed?

My favorite band in concert for several reasons. a) I'm a real music whore, so seeing live music is pretty high up my list of priorities b) I'm Canadian and not much for politics either, so a presidential swearing in means little to me c) Why go to Times Square when I could go to my home province of Newfoundland and be the first in North America to ring in the New Year

Alexander weeping because there was no more world to conquer. I'd like to know if it's true and what happened next, how his officers and troops reacted.

A Commodore's Ball. Really just the presentation of a local boat club's new Commodore. They do this every year and the club isn't that big but the new C was my best buddy from high school, whose parents were like Ma and Pa to me (i.e. they fed me and advised me even though they had 5 of their own). Since all of the clubs are part of a bigger club, even though ours is small, there were Commordores from all over the Great Lakes region. The ceremony even included a very nice rendition of O'Canada.
My favorite part was when I entered the Hall and the "slightly snobby" lady asked my name to tell me my table and found out I was in the front of the dais with the rest of the "family." We got to eat first. Lol I'm such a child.

As a former army paratrooper, on many occasion I was the unwilling consumer of an MRE (Meal Ready to Eat... yeah right!) While each variety had their own unique effect on my digestive system, nothing was so binding as the dry lump of dehydrated oatbran masquerading as a dessert treat called the "Oatmeal Cookie Bar (compressed)". We used to speculate that it must have been specifically designed for convoy travel to keep us from "going" for long periods of time.

Definitely Bwana Beast. Zan was LAME. Shape of a Gorilla! Form of a puddle! Geez.
Animals play bingo monthly,
Same question.
(OK, I took so long to put in the answer to the back issue question that Quis beat me to it, so I changed my answer. Then Quis being the Board meister somehow switched them...)
Next person just pick one of these two and answer)

It has been so long since I have bought a back issue. I don't believe that I have spent more than $30.00 for a single comic book. (I also assume that you don't mean something like the DC Archives. Which I have bought at $50.00)
Action Plop Batman Man-thing,
Would you rather turn into some form of water/ice like Zan from the Superfriends or have the power to merge two animals into one like B'wana Beast?

I don't know, AFOB, I sort of get an absurd kick out of the juxtaposition. I now have this image of you placing a last second frenzied e-bay bid on a grossly overpriced issue of B'wana Beast.
In any case... I, too, would opt for the B'wana Beast power, if for no other reason than to create my own Parakat with which to woo cute Xanthian girls.
Arm Put Back-on Man,
So, out of the blue, you are visited by the Controllers, who entrust you with the safe keeping of the Miracle Machine. Do you have a go at it?

Spinner racks are definitely more fun, especially if you get into a spinner rack tug-o-war with someone.

There was a fancy home at the other end of the block from us. The owners were there maybe a couple of weeks out of the year. They didn't improve the next-door lot they owned, and I would go there all the time to scale the tallest evergreen they had--- in almost any weather other than ice and snow. The view was incredible, and the solitude was a treat. I have no idea how high in the air I was, but it's safe to say that if my parents had known I was risking my neck like that, they would have been... not pleased.
I still love the smell of evergreens.

My dad had a Super-8 movie camera. That's an old video recorder for you young pups. One of my favorite memories was captured on film. I was about six. It snowed about 5-6 inches. There was my dad in his black horn-rimmed glasses, skinny as can be. He was picking up a snowball and tossing it at me while my mom ran the camera. Then he took it and my mom acts all shy and runs up the steps and into the house. Then the camera comes back to me and I just wave, like the dumb little kid I am. Simpler times.
All Parents Beget Minors,
