I never got a telegram.....Made a telegraph when I was a kid. It was a logical upgrade from two cans and a string. Would send senseless dots and dashes to my buddy but neither of us had a clue what they meant.

I never had an 8 track tape............ I did, and regretted it. CLUNK!   Switched to Cassette as soon as I possibly could.

I never caught a squid or an octopus........ Caught an eel once. Does that count?

I never knowingly ate cat, dog, or horse........... Glad you included the word "knowingly"

I never drove a horse-drawn buggy............. My wife has, but I don't ride or drive anything without an off switch!

I never rode a hot-air balloon............... Nope, but have been accused of being full of hot air.

I never been to Spain, but I've been to Oklahoma.................. Same here.

I never got a telegram, but have gotten "familygrams" while on the submarine back in the late 70s.

I've had several 8 tracks.

Have caught a lot of squid while mackerel fishing.

Have eaten horse.

Have driven a horse buggy (well, pony and sulkie)

Been up in a balloon.

Been to Spain, but never Oklahoma.

I never got a telegram.

I did have a couple 8 track tapes, but mostly I had LPs, and then cassettes I recorded off the radio.

I never caught a squid or an octopus, but I've eaten squid.  They're kind of rubbery.

I never knowingly ate dog, or horse.  Mountain Lion isn't bad, though.  If you put enough barbecue sauce on it.

I've driven a horse-drawn buggy, well, really it was a wagon, not a buggy, but I think that still counts.

I never rode a hot-air balloon, but I'd like to, someday.

I've been to Spain a few times (80's and 90's).  I liked it.  The people were nice.  The food was expensive, though.  (That's where I ate squid, in the paella).  I've only driven thru Oklahoma on my way to somewhere else, and I'm not even sure I stopped for gas.  I'll have to go back and check it out at some point.  In a diesel pickup truck, because FU EVs.

I have both sent and received telegrams

I not only had 8 track tapes, but I had 4 track tapes before that.

I have never caught a Squid or an Octopus but I love eating Squid rings and have had Octopus Sushi.

I knowingly ate cat meat once but it was a cougar that my brother shot.

I never rode a hot air balloon.

And I've never been to Spain OR Oklahoma but have known people who've lived there.

Who wants to ride in a hot air balloon? It is floating wicker, propelled by fire.

I never ate C-Rations, but I've shaved using a steel pot for a sink. I really hated when we transitioned to Kevlar helmets. They were hot, heavy and you lost the utility that a quickly-removable steel pot provided, for shaving, for picking up brass, etc.

When we turned in our steel pots for Kevlar, we just tossed them into a big shipping container. They were headed to some allied countries somewhere. Then we signed for Kevlar.

After signing for the new helmet a lot of us reached in the container and took out steel pots and threw them in our cars. Still have mine.
