    I want to play "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer" (or some such equally crazy song)at the Eurovision.Also,I want to drop a watermelon from a plane.

    Just thought of a few more:

    Tell a complete stranger about Hank. Anyone who's seen Melmoth's (Computer Apps instructor) site will know what I mean.

    Challenge a girl to Ro Shambo

    Start an inappropriate mosh pit (eg during something like YMCA or street spirit). There was one during a Weird Al song at CTYI a year or two ago.

    I started a pit in front of a string quartet on Grafton Street once...

    Especially when there are six of them on an extremely pointy guitar, like a Rhoads, which I *will* get! I'd like to revise my list to:
    *Be the best damn musician I can
    *Make those I care about happy

    Stage a musical on Grafton Street, but make it look like thoe taking part are just bystanders who got carried away. Everyone shall come out from different directions and once it's over walk away as though nothing happened.
    I had that planned out once but it didn't come together.


    The usual I guess:

    Win an Oscar

    Save a life

    Bungee jump

    Perform an autopsy

    You get the idea.



    P.s. One word: Ménage à trois ;)

    drive down Grafton Street
    Yeh the pancakes thing is pretty cool, wouldn't mind doin that

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 110 ✭✭the_only_Ali


    hmmmm....

    Zorb. I have always wanted to Zorb. But not just any old Zorb adventure. I'll Zorb out of a helicopter down the niagra falls in a zorb full of tiny pillows.

    become glow in the dark

    get cats-eye shaped contacts

    get something pierced that I wouldn't be able to show people in public

    learn how to tango

    adopt some lonely abandoned elderly donkeys and show'em a good time. (in a non-sexual way)

    become a black belt (only 2 belts to go!!)

    (since there seems to be a musical theme going on) go to a proper staged production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Hell, I'll BE in it.

    when I die, leave behind some quote that people say all the time in everyday conversation.

    and... I'm getting bored so I better think of something good... have my death recorded in the Darwin Awards.

    11.commit murder...im convinced i could get away with it!!


    that's your motive? fair enough i suppose.........:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    So one of your goals in life is to take away someone elses. Have you considered the fact that you will be ending a persons hopes and dreams, all the things THEY wanted to do before they died? Or that you would be shattering the lives of very many people who are close to them? Have you come to terms with the hatred they'll feel for you, the thought that them discovering that you'd killed that person would cause them to wish you were dead? Not to mention the crippling self-hatred you'd have to come to terms with as well?
    I severely doubt it.


    Sorry, about the amount of fucking stupid things people have been saying in this thread was starting to piss me off.

    Edit: And your signature is breaking the rules too.
