    lol I know it was a joke, but seriously though on the cow tipping thing it is actually very cruel because you can really hurt the cows, especially dairy cows as you can rupture some of their organs when they hit the ground. These are very heavy animals, it would take 2-4 people to do it and the cows are smarter than you think, so it's hard to sneak up on them, so your chances are pretty low that you would actually succeed anyway.

    Great post by the way storing this for future ideas.

    My husband and I do weight lifting dates. It gives us a chance to go together instead of always separate. That way be both get a spot and can lift heavier.

    ^^^^be nice to farmers.

    For the record, I am not infavor of cow tipping it is meant as a..wait for it...joke. And being nice to farmers is NOT a date :P
    Haha, okay:)... Behavior on a date:P Okay, Husband and I go rollerblading frequently on the local recreation trails. It's cold now, so our dates have been almost nightly, watching parenting/family-strengthening dvd's after the children are in bed. We actually are really enjoying this.

    My husband and I go bike riding or walking through the many state/city parks in our area. Going to botanical gardens, the arboretum, museums, aquariums and zoo are a lot of fun too.

    Something active! One cool date I went on was a bike ride! Afterwards we did get something to eat but that's only because we were hungry after.

    I second stuff like bowling, pool, or some other adult fun house.

    Board games, cards, a museum....


    I'm one of those who lives to eat but there are still so many things out there you can do that don't involve food!
