The Murtaugh Project

In an episode of the t.v. series, How I Met Your Mother, the main character, Ted, pulls out and explains his Murtaugh List (start video at 2:16). The Murtaugh List is named after the character from Lethal Weapon and his catchphrase, “I’m too old for this shit”. Around the age of 30, Ted decides to construct a list of things he and his friends have become too old to do. Inspired by this episode, I decided to make my own Murtaugh List.

But mine isn’t a list of what I can’t do, but what I need to do. Some things, like Ted says, you can only do in your twenties and there comes a day when you just can’t pull it off the same. My mission is to complete the list I’ve put together (with the help of friends) before graduating college in 2012. This will be the story of my attempt to complete it!

The full list (so far), and some things that didn’t quite make the cut, will be posted in the next entry
