As I get older, it seems that I start caring less what people think about me.  It’s not in the, “dude, I’m so cool, I’m wearing this T-shirt by a band you’ve never heard of,” way, but more in the, “I completely realize I’m going to look like a fool, but my comfort just trumps that.”

The first hump was probably the spandex cycling pants.  Sure, you may look cool in a rarefied group of people, but the vast majority of people look at you and chuckle, if you’re lucky.  Next came the recumbent bike.  Sara inherited my old one, so I’ll write more about the new fancy one later. 

Most recently came these sandals, inspired originally by an article in BoingBoing.  I inherited annoying foot issues from my Dad (which I will lovingly pass on to Cameron…circle of life baby) including a big toe that kinda wants to point up, and arches that are so high that my footprint is made up of the front of my foot, and then the heel…they aren’t connected.

Agreed.

Is it just me or does he pronounce his name “Uber-Ball”?

A little bird told me about this one.

I’d like to second Predator.

Joyent.

7+ hours of downtime.  Joy.

Rice Babies!

I want one - just so I can boil and eat my baby’s face without all the ethical and legal problems that may otherwise cause.

So was it my Poopin’ Scoopin’ Barbie post that is suddenly triggering all these ads for diarrhea, constipation and IBS? Or are the advertisers just going out on a limb about our holiday overconsumption?

I haven’t accomplished nearly as many of these as I’d like, but at least I created number 27!

A few other choice favorites:

45. See all of Shakespeares’ histories performed. Yes, even the crap ones. (Helloooooo, King John!)

29. Watch the sunset from inside the “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” dinosaur.

21. Kill a zombie.
14. Understand a Tom Stoppard play on the first viewing.

11. Memorize enough digits of pi to be impressive but not weird.

6. Correct Alex Trebek on the pronunciation of something French. Consequently hold him when he cries.

1. Live to see the day when smart and witty wins out over hot and shallow every single day of the week.

PS - Let’s also add “Visit the Museum of Menstruation” to this list - which I know that at least three Culture Geeks have done.

We don’t have enough posts in the category of “Sex.” Get busy, people.
