Supposedly Fun Things...

With apologies to David Foster Wallace and Tina Fey, here are supposedly fun things I’ll never do again:

Go to Disney World
The Limbo
Visit Curacao
Eat tomato sauce
Attend the Ice Capades
Take a Lamaze class
Read Dr. Seuss and Stephen King
Sit on a dais
Sing in the rain
Show and tell
Kiss and tell
Be dragged to a cheerleading competition
Ski
Anything scout related
Give credence to anyone who describes something as “incredible”
Pay attention to sabermetrics
Toe the line
Eat toffee
Go to an amusement or water park
Ride a rollercoaster
Improv
Not laugh at anything labeled “iconic”
Make my own sundae
Dunk for an apple
March in a parade
Watch a parade
Read a must-read book
See a must-see movie
Go with the flow
Listen to anyone who speaks of “going forward”
Take seriously any self-help enterprise
Listen to bagpipes
Play golf
Watch golf
Not make waves
Obey exhortations to “clap” at a sporting event
Get a crew cut
Watch the NBA Dunk contest
Wear a dickey
Chest bump
Watch the Pro Bowl
Drink bottled water
Overthink something
Read or view a “feel-good” story
