Number 1: Fishin' for Gators

When I read the challange "fish for gators in the Everglades" I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do.

This little predicament sort of solved itself when I stumbled into a Spongebob Square-pants fishing pole and a cheeseburger doggy chew toy. What would a gator want more than a cheeseburger? Maybe a human? Well, that's where the fishin' pole comes in because I wasn't about to get too close.

I wasn't sure if it was legal, so I tried to do this with as much stealth as possible. In the end, I absolutely loved it. I fished for gators from my yak and from shore but I didn't pull a single one of these toothy beasts ashore, which is probably for the best.

Number 2: Say "hi" to a protester in D.C.

This challenge, although fun, was a little bittersweet. I really liked the idea that a protester went through the paperwork hastle in order to legally protest directly in front of the White House.......but, when I confronted her she declared me a killer, and the white devil. I'm not exactly sure what I've ever done to her, and how she could know such things, but I took them as truth, and hung my head as I walked away in shame.

Even with the shame of being a murderer lingering over my head, I really liked the creativity involved in this challenge. It's definitely not something that I ever would have thought of.

AND it was free - which is an automatic boost in the number of pinkies I raise up for any challenge.

Number 3: Watch the sun set from a Red Rock

For starters this challenge was obviously free....and it's a challenge that lends itself to much interpretation, due to the abundance of red rock in Arizona and Utah. Then a friend of mine went and took her picture with a red rock with her pinky up and I started to like this challenge evern more.

See, anyone can do it, and just about everyone should like it. It's a BDHS challenge for everyone, and each individual would bring their own style to it. Most of the other challenges are very direct, so this little bit of divergence was a welcome edition.

Number 4: See the Sox play at Fenway

All I have to say is that Red Sox fans are awesome. After attending the All-Star game at Yankees Stadium, I was expecting the Red Sox fan to be a beligerent, vulgar Yankees fan wearing different clothes and speaking with a different accent.

Pleasantly, my notions proved to be incorrect. Everyone near me was great. Perhaps a little too great, as I had a few too many beers which led to my least proud moment of my trip, but no harm came of it, and I continued on my way. Oh yeah, Fenway is pretty cool too.

Slightly downgraded, due to Boston traffic, and the cost of the ticket and parking. It was a miracle that the game even happened as it was raining everywhere in the area except Fenway.

Number 5: Watch Twilight while eating an apple in Forks, WA

I really really really don't like Twilight (I've only read the first one, but that was enough for me), but somehow I liked the challenge. I liked the touch of the apple, and again, the movie wasn't very good, but it was great challenge.

Sure, I felt like a complete dork doing this while dozens of high school girls scoured the area looking for anything that has anything to do with Twilight, but what do I care. I'm doing what I want to.
