2. No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to Fly from the haystack with a towel as a cape.

6. no, never works

when I was a kid, we (we being my siblings and cousins) would climb on them, build forts, using the bales like bricks, etc. One day I fell, probably only 10 - 15 feet, but it seemed like an enormous distance to a kid. I couldn't believe I was even alive.... I was fine.

8. "using the bales like bricks". Well said, my new best friend.

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. get America to use its brain and stop celebrating mediocrity and ignorance.

[LeftyMom]

Even when I thought I left early enough to compensate for traffic, the goddamned 99 always manages to be worse than I'd planned for.

10. figure out what this whole volume 11 thing is

[HamstersFromHell]

11. not kill threads.

12. Dance.

Can't do it. I can play music (guitar, sax), so I've got rhythm, no problem counting to four in all of its various fractions and permutations, but I just can't dance. I guess we'll call it "two left feet."

Sucks, really. You guys look like you're having so much fun out there.

(On edit: It's "its," not "it's.")

13. whistle

I'm almost 53 years old and have never learned to whistle

I've tried

but no whistle

[x-g.o.p.er]

15. What you said!

Everyone I know can whistle. My wife, my kids, my dogs.

I'm 40, been trying to my whole life.

My wife says it because I have too much hot air.

[Bennyboy]

14. Play guitar.

My fingers and mind just don't work together like that. Actually stringed insturments are always a problem for me.

[SKKY]

16. break 90. I keep shooting 90, 91, 92, but can't get into the 80s...

...I think it's my short game that's stopping me.
