But are we even counting the same way? Should we only be permitted to check something off if we've literally accomplished what the list says, or does it count if we've done something in the spirit of the task?
Let's look at a few examples.
o 32. Go to a Shabbat dinner at 104 West (CornellCard it)What if you've been to dinner but haven't CornellCarded it?
What if you didn't hug Bill Nye?o 120. Meet Bill Nye ’77, “The Science Guy,” and give him a hug
o 122. Go on a road trip to Canada, flirt with the border patrol, smuggle booze back
I regret to say that I did not flirt with either border patrol agent on our alcohol-filled road trip to Canada in March. Should I get credit?
You get the idea. I would have 5-10 more items checked off if I counted loosely, but I tried to stick to the literal descriptions.The list was clearly not written by someone heading to law school.
