My Bucket List


I decided to set my goals pretty low on my bucket list. It's the under achiever in me that put this on paper.

  • Eat a whole carton of ice cream
  • Win a prize out of the claw machine game
  • Watch all three extended editions of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy in a row
  • Do an entire crossword puzzle by myself without cheating
  • Win a staring contest
  • Donate sperm
  • Attempt (but not set) a Guinness World Record
  • Meet Bob Barker
  • Pet a giraffe
  • Eat a bug
  • Fly a kite in a thunderstorm
  • Watch someone slip on a banana peel
  • Inherit a super power
  • Try some heroin
  • Get 100 Hula Hoop revolutions
  • Beat Yo! Noid video game for Nintendo 
  • Build a four story card house
  • Pickpocket a complete stranger
  • Reverse pickpocket a gang member
  • Become a judge on The Miss America Pageant
  • Run a 1/4 of a marathon
  • Be the first person to purchase a 4D Television (when available)
  • Read an entire book, cover to cover
  • See if the toilets and sinks south of the equator drain clockwise
  • Grow a beard

You'd better hurry if you want to meet Bob Barker, he isn't getting any younger.

good

You forgot eat a box of crayons and leave a drawing on the neighbors sidewalk!

Grow a beard should be a goal for every Asian male.

...Keep dreaming, kiddos.

I thought Yo! Noid was an impossible game to beat...

Battletoads, however, is not. It's insanely hard, and fun to ask Gamestop if they have it in stock, but not impossible.

Shockgrubz said...

I'm glad I've done 9 of those. Yo! Noid was so frustrating, yet addicting!

BB said...

It's a good list except I would advice against trying Heroin. I've been addicted to LSD and Cocaine as well as pot and a couple others. Heroin is supposedly so good you want more right away. Thankfully, I never did it. I would probably not be here right now to write this if I did.

You're supposed to read books cover to cover? I thought books were made for propping up improperly balancing furniture, like couches, TVs, or lawn chairs and tables rescued from the trailer court trash bin.

That damn claw machine gets me every time! I know it's possible to get one of those cheesy stuffed animals out of there, evidently just not for me.

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Nothing wrong with that list! I still plan to watch all extended LOTR movies in a day. (Could've done it today - damn! Too late now.)
Sadly, the last one is also one of my goals. Maybe by the time I die...

TS Hendrik said...

You might want to save the flying a kite in a thunderstorm one for last. Just in case...

Miss Teacher said...

Inheriting a super power sounds exciting! But there are so many to choose from...
Does it just have to be one? Can you not inherit multiple super powers?
You could take over the World!

Your bucket list is just about the best I have ever read.

Thanks for making me laugh

Donate sperm AND judge a Miss America pageant. Something tells me you could kill two birds with one stone if you got creative with that.

Tony Van Helsing said...

I honestly tried to watch all 3 Lord of the Rings films in a day but it was sunny and I went out instead.

Electric Addict said...

don't try H, it's not worth it. better drugs than it honestly.

how does one inherit a super power? haha

Marlene said...

4D TV....LOL!!! Maybe after you've tried the heroin.

Ruth said...

I have done LOTR extended trilogy in one day. That was a long day.
Do you have to eat the whole carton at one time? And what size is the carton? They do keep getting smaller, you know.

Chuck said...

First, heroin is not all its "cracked" up to be. Second, the toilets doen under do flush the reverse of the States. Bonus trivia...it's called the Coriolis Effect. Saw it first hand in Fiji. Cross it off your list if you just needed to have it validated (unlike your parking).

The claw machine looks impossible. Does anyone ever win at that?
I'm trying to grow a beard too.

BlueShell said...

"Donate sperm"??? why on earth would you do that for???
A Kiss...from Portugal ...
Have a nice day.

not displayed said...

great list but the heroin thing has me a bit worried. You are much too good looking to do the wasted druggie thing and Im sure they would drug test a Miss America judge and sperm donar.

I would recomend choc chip icecream as the perfect one to eat the whole carton of.
Oh and I know a place you can pat a giraffe and you might even eat bugs there too

Workingdan said...

You do realize what eating a whole tub of ice cream will do, right? Make sure there is toilet paper before you attempt this!!

Sweet Lily said...

Wonderful! ;)

Birgit said...

If you had some heroin you might belive you have a super power. As for eating a tub of ice cream...most women have done done this at least once but they key is(having read your newer post first) where did you actually eat the ice cream? Did you eats this ice cream in front of the giraffe? Have you read a book called the Karma Sutra?

Pat Tillett said...

Great list!
I guess I'm ahead of the curve here. I did the ice cream thing. Being lactose challenged, there was hell to pay...
