Re: Reverse bucket list
Not sure if you're saying you won't swim period, but that's me. The most I'll do in the ocean is walk along the shore.
I must be part mermaid because the idea of critters doesn't bother me at all...
I will swim in the ocean, but I have to really try not to think about all the things floating in the water that might enter my bathing suit! I'm glad I'm not the only one lol.

Lol at this from someone who laughs at stupid racist jokes. Also, sunsets in "Africa" look just like sunsets everywhere else.

Eat a fresh strawberry that's still warm from the sun.
I think she means, visit a developing country so you can point and take pictures of all the poor brown people, then come home and tell everyone how people in the US aren't really poor - look at these people in my pictures! Look how poor they are!

- Do something that's completely outside your comfort zone - more than once. That's so individual, so it's hard to say what it should be. But everyone should figure it out and push themselves.

- Volunteer.
- Eat a fresh picked watermelon warm from the field.

Totally agree! I am not a fan of any sport -- I just don't care -- but I've been to professional football, basketball, hockey (<--this was SO FUN!), baseball and soccer games. And a NASCAR race.
Oh I totally agree!! I always tell people they should tailgate an NFL football game at least once.
Eat pineapple while in Hawaii.
Sleep/live in a cabin/tent for more than a week.
Visit a State Fair and tour the whole thing - not just the rides out front.

eat home cooked food of ethnic food varieties you love in restaurants
make (by sewing, knitting, etc) something you wear

ITA...
But, can I also say, "go to a championship game of a professional sport"? I was there when the Seattle Storm (WNBA) won the national championship in 2004. They played Connecticut (where my H is from), so we would have been happy with either result, but being in the arena when they won was definitely a big deal.
Also, I'd like to add, seeing a baseball game in one of the old parks. I'd say Fenway, but one of the other classics would do.
I am the 99%.
I have led such a boring life compared to you guys, but here goes:
- Live in a foreign country
- Drink Czech beer in the Czech Republic

- Eat poutine, preferably in Quebec
- Ride a roller coaster if you're realllllllly afraid of them like I am
- Go to a game where the entire crowd is jumping up and down so hard the stadium is shaking and you're in the very last row of the top deck and think you're about to die (Shea Stadium, 2006 NLCS)
- See U2 in concert (SHUT IT, HATERS)
- Eat deep dish pizza in Chicago
