60 things...

Of Esquire's 60 Things Worth Shortening Your Life For, I have done precisely... two.

Hell, everybody did butter back in the day.

edit: Forgot about the secondhand smoke. Thanks, Mom and Dad.

How about you?

#8 - frequently - and #43 ( several times over. )

The Moab desert biking sounds interesting.
Mostly a pretty shallow ( IMO ) list otherwise...

#08 - of course.
#14 - like a good jew. it's crazy good.
#33 - there's no shame in it! drinking usually just puts me to sleep anyway so it's better this way.
#42 - never by choice.

a lot of that stuff is too specific. sure, i've had schmaltz and extremely decadent chocolate gelato, but not at the places they mention.

Butter, of course. I STILL do butter.

Cream puffs -- yummmm. Although, I haven't had the specific ones suggested.

Drugs -- well, depends on your definition. Not many or very often and now all I have are the prescribed ones. They are definately life extending!

8. 10. 33. 60. 4 sounds like enough to me.

4 (well, one, I was the giver, not the receiver)...

And that's all I'm gonna say about it!

[kezzamorphosis.livejournal.com]

Four things, I should say. I won't tell you which.

You gave butter?
;)

I bet butter makes it better. ;)

And I've done a grand total of... three! Never expected to outdo you, Joe! ;) (Though like you, the secondhand smoke was involuntary.)

I've done 10, so I'm not that much further.
8. Butter.
10. Cream puffs.
14. Chopped Liver
15. Smoking Cubans (In Cuba). (OK, I was in the Bahamas, not Cuba, but I feel that since it's smoking something it's still part of shortening my life)
31. Getting a Road Job. (OK TMI, but I didn't get it, I gave it)
32. Carousing with the Mob. (I am Italian)
33. Drinking Alone.
41. Fried dill pickles at Cock of the Walk in Natchez, Mississippi. (OK, it was at Hooters, but it's still a fried pickle, dangit)
42. Secondhand smoking. (yeah, thanks Dad and Dale)
60. Directing.

There's a ton I'd like to do, though.
17. Deep-fried Twinkies.
22. Oysters Mosca at Mosca's in Avondale, Louisiana.
24. The Fat Darrell at the R. U. Grill & Pizza in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
26. Combo No. 4 at the Varsity in Athens, Georgia.
34. Refried doughnuts.
35. Duck-fat potatoes.
38. The Carpetbagger steak
44. The cheeseburger at Shady Glen Dairy Stores in Manchester, Connecticut.
52. Devouring hare stuffed with duck confit and foie-gras-and-blood sauce at Guy Savoy, not to mention the 12 other courses

and there's 1 I almost did
4. Giving a buddy a kidney.
OK, he wasn't a buddy, he was a spouse, but same intent

But... er....

[kezzamorphosis.livejournal.com]

Road butter is the best! Just as long as you don't end up roadkill.

Now I'm getting images of that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter ad with Fabio... for ICBINB Spray...
