5. My response to your list:
Rode a horse: I have, several times.

Been to Paris, despite my times in France: Never even been to France, let alone Paris. I have gone up the Eiffel Tower at the Paris casino in Vegas, but I'm pretty sure it's not the same.

Smoked (Anything): Smoked pot (though not in many, many years). Smoke cigarettes, but thanks to Chantix, I'm nearly done with that too.

Bet on a horse: I love to play the ponies at Emerald Downs, a horse track about 10-15 miles south of me.

Played a game of Bridge: Me either.

Dipped a toe in the Pacific Ocean (However, the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Mediterranean: Check): Dipped my toe in the Pacific Ocean many times. And I swam in the Gulf of Mexico when I stayed in Galveston for a few days many summers ago.

Fed a horse: Done that many times.

Seen the Aurora Borealis: Me either.

Danced with the Devil in the pale moon light: I thought of doing that once, but thought it might scare the neighbors.

Cleaned up after a horse: Done that, too. (Ewwwww)

Streaked: That would be a no for me, too.

Been to a professional football game: Been to two of them. I found the games exciting, but the crowds were downright scary. I'll stick to going to baseball games.

Bought alcohol for underaged ponies: Nope, though once a couple of large-sized colts tried to talk me into it.

Took a White House Tour: Me either, though I would love to.

Flew first class: Nope. Dang it all.

Led a toast to a happy couple: I have, several times.

Help a Jewish horse escape from the Nazis: No, much to my regret.

Won a movie audition: Nor have I, but I was an extra in a SciFi movie once, and I starred in a TV commercial once with a good friend of mine.

Ran for public office: That would also be a no for me.

Taken an ocean cruise: No, but I have taken a cruise around Puget Sound on the Christmas ship. Had a lovely time.

Dressed a horse in ladies lingerie: I had to steal my lingerie back from this saucy little filly once.

Fly solo: Nope, but I have been a passenger in a 4-seater plane and in a helicopter.

Climbed a mountain: I have. Well, more like the foothills of the Cascade mountains. What I did was go rock climbing. Hard work, but I felt so good after all was said and done.

Painted house exterior: Nope, but I have painted plenty of interiors.

Slept in a tent: I have, lots of time. Used to go camping all the time.

Touch a horse inappropriately: Not even accidentally.

Played a round of golf: I've played a couple of rounds. Didn't do too bad for a n00b.

Learned how to play a musical instrument: I used to play the violin, and can pick out some songs on the piano.

Swam in a rooftop pool: Me either.

Caught by the police making out with a horse in the park: We made sure we were well hidden.

Skied down a hill: Once, accidentally on my ass.

Pierced a body part: My ears are double-pierced.

Tended an actual bar: Nope.

Came out to my parents as a horse lover: Thank goodness that's not a secret I ever had to reveal.

Planted trees: Planted a number of them in the summer between my junior and senior years in high school, when I helped build the bike trail in Eugene.

Shot a handgun: Nope, but I have fired a shotgun.

Painted a mural: Me either.

Jumped out of cake on horseback: I tried, but the damned horse wouldn't cooperate.

Sang in a choir: I was in choir from first through 12th grade. Sigh. I miss it.

Sculpted a statue: Nope.

Got a tattoo: I want to.

Ran off to Vegas to elope with my horse: That never even crossed my mind.

Flew in a helicopter: I did, once.

Known the way to San Jose: I do. I went there in college to present a paper at a conference. Pretty town.

Been a roadie for the Eagles: I haven't either, but I do love their music.

Figured out something ridiculous to say to end this list: Your list is already ridiculous; there's really nothing to add. :P
