I remember years ago the receptionist at work was reading cosmo, and they had an article in there with "50 things you must do before you die"... the only two things I can remember from the list were "sleep with someone you've known for less than 4 hours" and "run barefoot under the eiffel tower in a wedding dress"... one of those i've done, the other i doubt i'll ever be doing ;)

so what's in your list of things you have to do before you die? here's your chance to /really/ influence someone's life - if you suggest something good enough i /will/ do it, one day.

here's a couple things to kick this off...

  • Live in New York
  • Get a PhD
  • Visit Japan
  • Travel round Europe
 
Ahhhh...
Time has passed me by , it seems...
I've lost my hopes and all my dreams...
And all thats left is not to state my case...

BTW...What was it like running around in barefoot a wedding dress? :D
 
nambit, I've done two of those you mentioned. :) What I want to do is err....

  • Visit every single country in the world
  • Visit every single state in the United States
  • Visit every single province in Canada
  • Meet Leonard Nimoy
  • Meet the President
  • Get a pilot's license
  • Bungee jump in Bloukrans (625 feet)
  • Get a Master's
  • Go to Harvard for an MBA
  • Reach an income level of at least $300K
  • Start and run at least 3 companies (that are profitable)
  • Get to know the president of AT&T
  • Destroy a minivan in an explosion
  • Blow something up, like a building
  • Own 100+ guns
  • Visit a carrier, cruiser, destroyer, and frigate
  • Enlist
  • Kiss at least 100 guys and 100 girls
  • Start a fight in an English pub
  • ...and finish it too
More, but I'm out of time... lol

you don't want to get mashed to a pulp in england, mate [and you would, no self-respecting englishman would turn down the chance to give a mouthy yank a smack]. our health service is so ropey you'd not get a bed for a week. but that might be that no self-respecting english doctor would treat a mouthy yank... :p ;)

unlike stewie here, being able to recite the script to fight club word for word isn't on my list :p
 
  • Build a house on a nice plot of land (this plot if we decide to stay here)
  • Homeschool both of my children through high school
  • See them graduate from college
  • See them both married with children
  • Celebrate my 50th wedding anniversary with Jan

Those are the vital things. Everything else is just gravy.
 
well, I'd have to hit the lottery first, then...

Buy several houses, one up north around NY, or Chicago
one around here Ga, one around LA, and one around Palm Beach FL.

Buy a jet.
Take a trip to Hawaii, and Australia.
See all the major attractions in the US.

I watched The 51st state last night. :D :D And I was inspired. Lol. I'm rather amused how some of you Brits "politely disagree" with us Yanks. And your health service > Canada's. :D But still.... I think it would be some bragging rights to say that I managed to start a fight in an English pub (somehting about shouting Manchester is the best in a pub in Liverpool perhaps? And then dictating how I know everything about soccer since I'm a Yank...), AND managed to survive it. *grins*

  • climb in the rockies some more
  • climb in south africa
  • climb in the himalayas
  • climb in the other 4 continents

Considering you were dominated and abused by three girls I think you can give up your hopes... :p
