If you can’t say yes to #5, you haven’t lived.

I have been quoted by olawakandi, yeah. I went to Moscow, former capital of the Soviet Union, in 2017. I had pneumonia when I was 6 years old. Not sure if the two times I went to denounce to the police/the gendarmerie that I had lost my wallet count for "triggering a police investigation" but I'll go with yes. So I voted #3, #5, #7 and #12.

My sister is a vegetarian but I have never been. I would lie if I said I wasn't a naughty boy, but faking a parental signature was not among the stuff I have done, maybe surprisingly.

Honoured enough to say #5, and I have been to Moscow and St Petersburg. I saw Heiko Maas at a hotel once, but I didn’t say anything to him.

Triggered a Police Investigation I was forced by two kids down the street to be their airsoft target, my mom called the cops and presumably there was some investigation I think? I don't remember well.

Been quoted by OC Pretty sure but I'm not sure when offhand

Faked a parental signature My mom was stuck in the house after a surgery and sent me to get something, they wanted her signature when I used her card so I did my best

Met a Federal Cabinet Member IIRC I met Frank Holleman (Deputy Sec. of Education, 1999-2001) when he ran for SC Superintendent of Education.

I am a vegetarian, so I do 8, and when I was young, I cried too much, so the police had to come, so I kind of did 3?

I checked 7, but with some caveats. I have been to the Soviet Union, but not since the breakup, so I counted Russia. I was photographed with Rick Scott at a fundraiser, but I saw no reason to send him the photo for a signature, so I counted it since a picture is worth a thousand words. I did not check 5 or more foreign languages, since I have only formally studied 2 but taught myself phrases in at least 3 others.

I've actually met a former Minister of the Interior, so yes for having met a cabinet minister

There are a few on here that are maybes. When I was in middle school some kid stole my phone, my dad found who it was, and he was arrested. Idk if a "police investigation" followed or not.

Last year, Former Secretary of Education Dick Riley spoke at my school. I wouldn't consider this "meeting" but it was pretty close.

In 7th grade, I may have had bacterial pneumonia but it was more likely bronchitis. The diagnosis wasn't 100% for either one, but the symptoms and treatment would have been almost the same.

I filed a police report and triggered an investigation against the local township clerk because I caught him removing my dad's campaign signs leading up to election day. He claimed our signs violated local ordinances, but they were placed next to other campaign signs that the clerk did not remove. The township board ended up voting 3-3 on censuring him, with the swing vote voting no so as to avoid making the township vulnerable to lawsuit. Still, I consider the 3-3 vote to be a victory.

I was at a bbq at a friend's house when the brother of a former transportation secretary was there...
