I am SO WITH YOU on number nine, and I will happily explain number seventy-eight to you sometime.

P.S.- there have been oodles of Democrats in the White House.

RIC said...

Well, I'm for it all, no doubt, since those are your wishes, but... You wouldn't be human ever again, so you wouldn't be Minge for me. I'd miss you then, I guess.

(Some of the ideas may be dangerous to the whole world, like: 9, 23, 26 and 33. I guess...) :-)

Ditto 77. Invite me next time he stops by...

Lucas said...

Wow! Visit MN is #1? I'm so proud and I secretly hope that me and my MN blogging pals had something to do with that.

Also, if you can master #28, it will help immensely with #25! ;)

David said...

Dang it PJS, you beat me to it in regards to #78.

Oh and #98 is not fun. I almost shit myself thinking that I could have been kicked out of State.

Moncrief Speaks said...

What an amazing, fantastic list!

Minge said...

I just love lists. And I love the people in MN! Spiders are gross and must be done. Is St Pat could do it to snakes in Ireland, why can't someone do it to spiders in the whole world? I know there have been oodles of Democrats in the White House, but I can't more! And no Republicans! Stem cell research, please! Please, PJS, explain #78 to me! Driving a Shinkansen wouldn't be so dangerous. As far as I'm aware, it practically drives itself! Drew, if Neil pops by, I'll get you to come over for tea and bikkies. Oh, and Lucas, I don't eat my bogies! That's gross! David, you were in a riot???

gab said...

very goodones but where am i?

A Novelist said...

This is a beautiful list! I hope they all come true for you... ;)

Minge said...

You're always in my heart, Gab.

Unknown said...

A wonderful list.

Would you like me to help you with any of them?

I have a secret.
Do you like secrets Minge?

Minge said...

I like secrets and always keep them.

Unknown said...

Oh goody!

David said...

Yeah, State students seem to have a problem with losing in sports--particularly basketball. Some of us also have a tendancy to go outside and watch the riot instead of staying inside. Was I in a riot? I will go with "no" on that one.
