See a penguin in its natural habitat
I've done that one. Never eaten a bug and never intend to. My dad reckons huhu grubs taste like peanut butter, but I'm not about to find out.
From a Visa add, eh? I suppose that accounts for the number of items on the list that you could use a credit card to pay for.
Does a hole in one at mini-golf count?
A hole in one at mini-golf should count. We played much mini-golf at the school carnival last night.
Pass the huhu grub, fierce daisy. And an apple wedge.
Yeah, I seen a penguin too. And visited uninhabited islands, although they weren't very big uninhabited islands. Which is, presumably, why they were uninhabited in the first place. Also visited a minimally and only occasionally habited island... does that count? I'm guessing they mean eat an insect DELIBERATELY, not accidental consumption.

I *think* I saw one when I was little. I should take Ash down to see the Fairy penguins at Philip Island.
...and all of the rest of the Hobblings when they visit. Will Rian be coming? *grin*
Tis a VERY LONG flight.
Rian points out, casually.

Oops. Ignore me messing up, please.
I have done 3 of those things. Although I wonder whether there's anyone who hasn't eaten a bug accidentally...
And I was only 3 when we went to Pisa. But there are photos.
-Learn to fly-fish at Inverlochy Castle
Thankfully we have a fishmongerer and no need to get up at 3am to catch dinner
- Visit an uninhabited island
terrible sanitation on those. Unlike bears, I prefer to not defecate in the woods.
- Celebrate St. Patty's Day in Dublin
If I want a place full of drunk people pretending to be irish I can go to any irish-themed bar in London
- Deep-sea fish and eat your catch
see fly fishing
- Camp on Seven Mile Beach
What’s wrong with a 5 star hotel?
- Write a screenplay
Mmm, good idea. That’s what got people like Guy Ritchie started in the first place. I won’t endorse such non-sense
- See the Leaning Tower of Pisa
I’ll go and see it once they found some builders to fix it
- Drink a margarita on the Isla Margarita
I prefer a nice G&T
- Shoot a hole in one
In one what? Anyway, the police won’t let me play with guns anymore
- Watch a space shuttle launch
Not unless it has Richard Branson on it and a 97% chance of exploding on lift-off
- See a penguin in its natural habitat
As far as flightless birds go, ostriches are a lot more interesting.
- Climb an eighteener
I know that’s when they start to be legal, but I still prefer them a little older
- Travel with handmade fitted luggage
I don’t like wearing my luggage
- Find the Big Dipper
I’m not that keen on dips, a small pot of guacamole should do me just fine
- Look down from the Cliffs of Moher
Those cliffs have done nothing to insult me, so I have no urge to denigrate them
- Take your parents on vacation
It’s very hard to find airlines that are happy to transport corpses for the fun of it.
- Eat an insect
I prefer lobster. Caught by someone other than myself.
- Run with the bulls in Pamplona
Why on earth would I run with the cattle? We have farmers to look after cows these days.
- Attend an Argentine Polo Championships
Nothing could be further from my heart than watching a bunch of aristocratic wannabees attempting to play golf with ponies. Are they too lazy to walk? Don’t they have enough money to buy proper horses?
- Win a karaoke contest
Having the voice of an angel myself, I would undoubtedly win, but that would imply that I’d have to listen to atrocious performances by deluded tonedeaf trolls.
- Have a museum all to yourself
Oh, brilliant. This must mean I have fallen on hard times and I’m in the process of robbing a museum in the middle of the night.
Obviously Unbearably Beautiful knows the Visa should only be used for the important things in life: books and DVDs.
Preferably purchased from one's favourite armchair in front of the heater.
Tis a VERY LONG flight.
We'll make you a banner... *wheedles* Jes and Q loved theirs...
Also, heh heh heh, Biped...

*had been resisting cracking up until that point*
What she said. And I had students in the other rooom. Really had to stifle the snickers. In truth some of the nineteen and twentyers around here can be pretty tasty looking *grins*. I'll just look though. No climbing.
