I made up this list one day, humor me, some of these are meant to be funny and some you can actually do (like drink your OJ, listen to your rock music loudly, etc.). Feel free to add to the list. ;)

1. Have the house looking good on the outside
2. Have it looking good on the inside too
3. Have a neighbor you can connive and talk about crazy stuff with
4. Listen to rock music loud and play the air guitar
5. Think your street.....road....whatever you live on is awesome
6. Make a full pot of coffee and drink it in the mornings like Carol P.
7. Make pancakes, eggs, bacon and/or sausage links for breakfast alot (or at least change it up)
8. Watch cartoons while eating cereal
9. Have fun talking about ppl, smoking cigarettes, drinking beers at night
10. Do a jeopardy challenge
11. Spy on neighbors at night
12. Shoot the crows
13. Watch a ballgame
14. DON'T get stung by the neighbors bees or get attacked by a foaming squirrel
15. Drink a glass of OJ every morning
16. Rummage through other ppls trash ("The Supreme Court ruled that a person's garbage is public domain the minute it hits the curb") ESPECIALLY if you believe your neighbors are killers
17. Get your spy gear, animal crackers, and coffee and be "Eagle Eye"
18. Play games with your friends in your basement or some place
19. Leave silly notes under peoples doors and then play ding dong ditch
20. Read the newspaper in the mornings
21. Watch scary movies before going to bed
22. Get mad about something and crush beer/pop cans
23. Climb over others fences
24. Have an outdoor party with your friends
25. Plan an operation, keep a lookout up on your roof, and have at it
26. DON'T cut the lines to the power
27. DON'T blow up a persons house while they're gone
28. DON'T break into somebodys house
29. DON'T kidnap someones dog
30. Put an old man's wig in your trousers.....and leave them there ALL DAY
31. Fix and/or use your BBQ pit
32. DON'T dig holes in other ppls yards
33. Make brownies and give them to your cooky neighbors
34. Raise the American flag with the utmost reverance, love, and respect every morning, just like Mark
35. DON'T fall off your roof and shoot out the window to your car......that would be a disaster! Imagine how Mark explained that to his insurance company! :p
 
Very good list!

I would add to 7. ...but don't eat the dog food. Silly Art.

Also, train your dog to crap in other people's lawns.
 
HAHA! Yeah! Don't eat the dog food! I TOTALLY forgot about that one. But that's the glory of this post, to put stuff down that hasn't been thought about. ;)

I made sausage links, eggs, and bacon for breakfast (cause my kids didn't want the links) I think I cooked too many, I guess I thought Art was coming over for a visit :p

Cup of coffee #2!!
 
A very nice list! :)

Acttually...I've in fact done all of those I've picked out from your list above. :D

I *really* hope the following will happen one day:

34. Raise the American flag with the utmost reverence, love, and respect every morning, just like Mark

But since in Sweden and not America (yet), that won't happen YET. (currently drawing in the diversity visa lottery, crossing fingers).



 
@Pathologist: Thank you! I'm glad you like it! :)

@JoOngle: I have done 11 & 25 and a few others but w/o the animal crackers, the roof, gun, and coffee lol! But the operation only lasted 5 minutes tops and this was years before I discovered the movie or I would have done the animal cracker thing. :p You're lucky no beestings haha!

I really hope you get the visa. I'll be praying and keeping my fingers crossed for you. ;) In the meantime you could do this w/the Swedish flag.

Get up at the crack of dawn and watch a dog poop....
Have a golf foursome .......
Get one of those beef sandwiches down at the deli...
Drink orange juice on the balcony...
Paint your house while your parents are gone...
Dog sit for a missing neighor...
Listen to the ballgame and drink a couple hundred beers....
Have an occasional cigar...OUTSIDE!
 
and most important, Bang the hell out of your trash with a stick.
 
Didn't get my visa this year.

But I do beat the **** out of my trash with more than a stick.

And summer is coming, so I'm having a few hundred beers!
