Ha! Totally! I am obsessed with Mission 101. Granted I've not completed near what I wanted to have complete at this point AND half of the items I have on here are stoopid and useless, but eh, whatever.
I'll be adding you to the blogroll :)
I love your list! I've got one too over at livejournal (http://roklobster.livejournal.com). I may be borrowing/stealing/reusing some of your list - you have some great ideas! :)
Stumbled upon your blog from Day Zero. I used to raise Flemish Giants, they're great. Get one small and make sure the boys play with it everyday or they can do some damage once full grown.
Good luck with the 101.
