My clog scroll

I was going to title this post 'My bucket list', because that's what it's going to feature.

But then I thought: Hmm....'bucket list' is so overdone. Maybe it's time to coin a new term that means 'things I want to do before I die'.

This led me to the brilliant Wikipedia page 'List of expressions related to death'. Among my favourite on the list are:

• To ride the pale horse

• To shuffle off this mortal coil

• To hop the twig

• To snuff it

• To pop one's clogs

So I've decided to call my bucket list my 'clog scroll' instead—just to mix things up a bit. 

Not to be earthy, but isn't it amazing that fruit just grows on trees? Wait, is coconut a fruit?
I just Googled it and it's a "fibrous one-seeded drupe".

My clog scroll

Before I die, I would like to:

• Fry an egg on the sidewalk.

• Do that prank where you put someone's hand in warm water so they pee the bed. 

• Shimmy up a palm tree. Grab a coconut. Shimmy back down. Crack the coconut on a rock. Hold one half up to my mouth. Pour the sweet juices down my gullet. 

• Go dogsledding. 

• Float around in one of those zero-gravity simulators. 

• Brew and bottle my own root beer. 

• Do this with Andy:

• Write a book. 

• Get hypnotherapy. 

• Own a juicer. 

• Score the winning goal in the World Cup and/or win a Nobel Prize.

Cheers,
