The List

We made a list of everything we need to bring from Boulder with us on our trip. It's a very long list with lots of little boxes that can be checked, or marked, or crossed out, or simply ignored. The entire list fits on a single sheet of paper approximately 4 inches by 5 inches. But once you convert the list into actual things, it increases in size to precisely 3 suitcases, 2 small duffle bags, and a large crate containing one very happy-go-lucky black lab. I've also been a fan of lists, but I'd never before seen just how efficient they are at compressing things. So, I've decided to create the largest list possible (in terms of combined actual size of items). The following terms are excluded from the list because they are considered cheating. My list must fit on the front side of a single piece of 4x5 paper.
1) The entire universe—Definitely cheating
2) A list of all lists ever listed—Although snarky, also cheating.
3) a billion Suns—only one single item per line. And no, you can not repeat items. Also, no multiple items of the same type. So naming all the stars in the universe is also cheating.

My new, enormous list shall be posted tonight, to great fan fare. Huzzah.
