Me Bloody Bucket List

~

So.

We Pirates have discovered the greatest television show in the history of, well...television.  It's called "An Idiot Abroad- The Bucket List", and you simply MUST watch it.  But only if you put the subtitles on.  Cuz you'll be laughing so hard you'll miss more than half the stuff the bloody bloke has to mutter.  Just trust me on this one.

Anyhoo.

Karl Pilkington, the Idiot in question, hath inspired me to write me own bloody Bucket List.  This is my first gander at such an enterprise, and the entries are in no particular order.  I've crossed through those I've already accomplished, just so you know I really do did have a life once upon a time.

Here goes nuthin'!


  1. Greece
  2. The Grand Canyon
  3. Fundamentalist Mormon Utah, aka Colorado City
  4. Visit the desert island of Aruba, get plied with Aruban tequila at Carlos and Charlie's, do some other dastardly deeds a few hours later, then get on a plane and safely return home without meeting Johan van der Sloot.  Whew - THAT was a close one!
  5. Find Jesus.
  6. Wear a pair of Louboutins, if just for a day.
  7. Travel in zero gravity
  8. Swim with the dolphins
  9. Alaska
  10. The Motherland, aka, Ireland

  12. Marry my Pirate Charming
  13. Hawaii
  14. NYC
  15. NYC again
  16. NYC again with Pirate Charming
  17. NYC again with all three Pirates in tow
  18. Audit a class at an Ivy League school
  19. A golden ticket to Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory, although a vacation to Hershey, Pennsylvania will in fact, suffice.
  20. Travel this great nation of ours, from sea to shining sea, watching the wonders of the world unfold through the beautiful blue eyes of my amazing husband and delicious children.
  21. Become a PUBLISHED author.
  22. Wear those Louboutins on Fox & Friends while sitting on the Curvy Couch with Doocey, Carlson, and Kilmeade.
  23. Be deemed "CURED"
  24. Live to see the day my daughter and/or spawn make their first closing arguments as snappy prosecutorial attorneys, wearing Louboutins or Brunos.
  25. Have a beer with Bruce Willis.
