#47: See ten movies in the theater. A few over the top scenes does not make a good movie, but man, those scenes were funny.
#97 Remove a tattoo. Twenty Five Twenty years ago I got this tattoo (my sister reminded me I was 23). When deciding on what to get, my eighteen twenty three year old logic was to get something without meaning because you never know how things will play out.
