These are hilarious :-)

#4 is actually an assignment I used to give my students way back in the film days. #9 seems to me a perfectly valid challenge suggestion. I've never channeled Dean Martin but I've done plenty of the other 2 parts of #10. And I could swear we already HAVE had a "Toothpick" challenge....

Great continuation, Mark -- suggestions 12 - 19.
As to #17, "a Streetpigeon in its natural environment," when I'm not breaking broncos for the NYPD or directing spaghetti westerns I can be found in Los Alamos designing nuclear toothbrushes, which is going pretty well. Just yesterday, while hanging out with the Pope, I laid out some suggestions for world peace that he hinted he'd weave into his homilies. Fingers crossed on that one. When I'm bushed I'll kick back with a chilly one and plunge over Victoria Falls wearing water wings. Family is very important to me, and my wife, dog and I often spend the entire night howling at the moon. Right now, while hunched over the computer, I'm on the phone dickering with Ken Burns, who wants to do a six hour documentary on my life from birth through the fourth grade. It probably won't pan out because I'm too modest.
What's in your wallet?

i actually love this idea. we'd have to invoke the DPC honor system for it but i'd be so keen to do this. the tension of whether the current moment is the best moment or whether you should wait to capture the event with a later photograph... brilliant!

For 28 you'll need a shallow well, a long tether, or a Bluetooth enabled camera you're willing to sacrifice :-)
