Northern Attack's 2009 Summer Writing Contest - Week 2

For last week's prompt there were only 7 entries. Pathetic! Not that the other 6 entries weren't good, they were great, but in the previous 2 years' contests there were 35 and 29 entries the first week. Some people posted they had other stuff going on and what not, but I'm still really disappointed there weren't more entries since this was an awesome prompt and all the regulars always made such hilarious entries for past prompts, including many which, while good, were not as good as this one. There are already more than twice as many entries for the week 2 prompt, so that's good.

Prompt for week 2: Don't Be Listless...Enter This Week!

And my entry:

10. The new Yankee Stadium (on opening day). A disappointment in more ways than one, but YMMV.
9. World's Largest Shoe in Hallam
8. The Wonder Wheel at Coney Island
7. The Statue of Liberty's crown. Technically it's not going to reopen to the public until July 4, but like that guy said, "[T]he brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough."
6. Royal Victorian Manor in Woodstock, Illinois
5. Lackawanna Coal Mine. Go during the week and slip the tour guide $20 to get the mine all to yourselves.
4. Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas. Everyone said we had to go here when we told them our honeymoon was in Vegas. Quite the experience, although the Star Trek stuff was boring.
3. ZERO-G flight, also in Vegas. The weightlessness only lasts 25 seconds at a time, so plan accordingly.
2. Blackwell Island Lighthouse. This lighthouse is decommissioned, which was convenient since otherwise it would've been blindingly bright, unbearably hot, and it would've created a silhouette of us across the night sky.
1. Some house here in town. We have a realtor friend who sometimes lets us stay in unoccupied houses. We just threw caution to the wind here all weekend long. At one point, I almost went through the living room wall. We bought a clown painting to conceal the damage. Before putting it up, I carved "Easy Rider was here" on the wall underneath. Overall, an amazing and unforgettable experience.
