I like this game, but you've got to make it interesting. In that vein, here's mine:
1) Eliezer once wrote an Overcoming Bias post where he said something like "Make one little mistake in a whole long chain of inferences, and you end up in Outer Mongolia." The first time I read this post was from a webcafe in Outer Mongolia.
2) I have pet several full-grown tigers, and one of them almost fell asleep on my lap.
3) I once broke up with a girl partly because she was a deontologist.
4) One of my school teachers once accused me, in all seriousness, of being a witch. Not witch as in "Wiccan", but witch as in "has magic powers and consorts with the devil".
5) I was given a blessing by a Tibetan lama in the mountains of Nepal.
If we're being strict then #1. Though the name's still informally used to refer to Mongolia, there's really been no such place as Outer Mongolia during any period of history in which it's likely to have contained a webcafe.
If we're not then I'd guess #2, as your favorite David Berman thought experiment involves clearly and distinctly imagining tigers.
