Hmm... I think Iʻd do one of the following:

A year without:

*wearing underwear
*speaking English (yes, some of you do this on a regular basis, I realize that, but it would be noticed where I live)
*running
*holding my head up straight
*working

OR

A year with:

*wearing tassles under my shirt daily
*speaking a made up language anytime someone asks me a question
*skipping through stores


I know there are a lot more, but, for some reason, those came to my head first! Sad, but true.

for me it would be a year of doing art in the vain hope it would butt-kick-start me to put pencil to paper and paint to canvas. . ... . . .. . . .. .. .

Lots of googly bits then I assume?

I wouldn't wanna write "A year with ferrets stuffed down my unmentionables"

Or rather, I wouldnt want to do the research.

I'm with GeoffC. I'd do a year of daily creativity, to produce something artistic or handmade every day.

May I suggest one year with ABBA?

Ricky already did that. It involves getting into dustups with semis and having lots of stuff fall on you. Probably less fun than you imagine.

Perhaps we could have a year without ABBA and start with not seeing them like this.
