What is this list?

Friends have decided to create a list of forty things to do before I turn forty in September. I've decided to play along and try to complete the list before my birthday. I'm lucky that Jennie will also play along and help me complete this list.

I've decided not to post the list on the blog. Why not? Revealing the list would be similar to reading the book before going to see the movie. In most cases disappointing. Also, the likely followers of this blog already know the content of the list.
(Update: A few people said that the list should be online so that they could volunteer/sign up for some of these activities)

For the purpose of this blog, I've decided to call them "task". Most of them can be completed locally and without advance planning. I also plan to drag in the creators of the list into accomplishing some of the tasks with me.

The list:

1. Try all 31 Baskin Robbins flavours
2. Get up on stage
3. Learn to knit/crochet/cross-stitch
4. Take a pic a day until 40th birthday
5. Night out in drag
6. Bungee jump/sky dive/zip lines
7. Food challenge (ex. Works burger challenge)
8. Take dinner train to Wakefield
9. Get a picture with Spartacat
10. Write poem/song/letter to Jenn
11. Start a blog
12. Help an old lady cross the street
13. Ride the bull at the Crazy Horse
14. Make a time capsule
15. Find a four-leaf clover
16. Steal something
17. Gamble on 13 (roulette)
18. Swim in Mooney's Bay
19. Write a letter to the editor
20. Paddle boat on the canal
21. Blond Highlights
22. Write an email to the Commissioner of Patents
23. Take a tour on the Ladydive
24. Get picture with MP
25. Homebrew some beer/wine
26. Get a tattoo/piercing

30. Milk a cow

The cow was made of plastic.
The utters were made of rubber
The milk was water with a white dye

The place was the Almonte puppet fair earlier this summer.

I have a picture, but it was taken with a regular camera so it will have to wait.
