The Bucket List

[alfred01]

Hello everyone. For those of you who are not familiar with the movie "The Bucket List" starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, the term "bucket list" is becoming more and more known and used as a reference to the things we'd like to do before we "kick the bucket". So, as a way to get to know some of you a little better, I'd like to ask you what you would put on you're bucket list? I'll get us started.:devil:

1 Meet Halle Barry
2 Smoke a real Cuban Monte Cristo
3 See the Grand Canyon
4 Have a conversation with Stephen Hawking (stop laughing)
5 Win a lifetime supply of Big Macs (making a bucket list, how many could that be)
6 Still have some usable organs so my organ donor card isn't wasted
7 Use my First Aid/CPR training to save someone's life
8 Figure out exactly why Paris Hilton is famous (OK shouldn't use this one but seriously)

* 1. They find a cure for MS.....so I can have one last dance with my wife.
A special prayer for The Howling Wolves.



OK, so you can give us a glimpse at your list, call this question lame, ignore it or do just whatever you want.

No one answered--they must be afraid..haha..ok I'll go first..

Visit counties such as Qatar, Philippines, Hong-Kong and Thailand (yes I miss my army travels).
Mountain Bike all the places outside of Texas that I haven't managed to ride as yet.
Lose this danged weight and get from 225 to 175 again.
Pursue and conquer a current, semi-secret dream (it involves a pinay currently working in Qatar--lol)

I guess my list is short but challenging.

 

[DarkDavil]

Can't think of too many... but here's some pretty awesome ones!
1. Rob a bank... or casino in incredible-movie-style-heist-jobs!
2. Go on a world tour, highlighting cultures of Europe and the Middle-East.
3. Going to Venice.
4. Going spelunking in a cave-system some-where or other.
5. Go on a "treasure-hunt" with some REAL treasure-hunters.
6. Going deep-sea diving (Or whatever it is where I can see the coral reefs and etc. - Like in Australia or the Caribbean)

Great start with army and DarkD. I was about to delete this cause no1 seemed interested but now we have a start I'll just leave it for a while. Army, like to hear a little more about that pinay story someday. If you write a book, be sure to let me know and DarkD, if you need a getaway driver for that bank or casino heist send me a message. Thank You both.

Saw and liked the thread Alfred01

Ok here goes....

1) I would like to see many parts of America...I have been to Las Vegas and visited the grand canyon... I can confirm its fabulous! Especially the helicopter ride down into the canyon, felt like I was in an episode of Airwolf! LOL!
2) See either Bon Jovi or Aerosmith in concert.
3) Try and whisk my dad on another great adventure.
4) See the northern lights with my family.
5) Win a substantial amount on the lottery and then play secret santa with my winnings... I won a tenner but that doesn't really cut it! LOL!
6) Write a book.
7) Do things that scare me... not sure what although I have signed myself up for indoor skydiving so that should be worth a laugh!
8) Work on my master plan and see if it ever comes to fruition.

All I can think of for now.

This is great folks. I think I might have to keep tabs on "army" cause he might just decide to invade Canada and, hey, lets face it Canucks one U.S. soldier could probably do it. DarkD is the adventurer, he/she could team up with army and swim across the Great Lakes and take out our Navy (you can't tell but I'm laughing hysterically). Canada's Navy consists of one canoe with a 12 gauge duct taped to the front. Boohbah wants my Halle Barry (we should talk) and seems to have the artistic side. And you want to start an epic thread about nose picking? Where does that come from (inside joke).

Carl seems to be a real adventurer as well, but also well grounded with family. Lucky man. And Baron, excellent, bravo (keep him happy until we learn more about this master plan). Ta to everyone.

 

[zigzag3143]

1- witness the mars landing

2-see mans treatment of man stop

3-visit a suburb of Melbourne and a long lost friend.

 

[JMH]

I am well content with life so therefore my list is somewhat altruistic....

What I would like to happen before I kick the bucket

*An end to human conflict
*Caring for this beautiful blue sphere
*Poverty become non existent

etc etc. You get my drift...

 

[alfred01]

Wow. JMH and zigzag you are both truly altruistic. I almost feel I'm not a good enough person to be in the same forum as you both, but your stuck with me now. Ta

 

[The Howling Wolves]

My Bucket list is pretty simple...........

1. They find a cure for MS.....so I can have one last dance with my wife.
2. We all put our heads together and save this planet and each other.
3. Refer to number 1 if all the rest fail.

 

[bigmck]

I don't have anything noble like some of the others. No "World Peace" here. My list is all for me.

1 - Would like to visit the UFO Festival in Roswell, NM.

2 - Build my own computer

3 - I visited Branson, MO one time and it was great. Would like to go again.

4 - I am in Houston, TX. I would like to drive to California through New Mexico and Arizona. I have heard the country is beautiful.

5 - Oh what the hell, World Peace.

 

[Windows i7 920]

- Put together my own OS based on Linux.
- Buy a server with a ridiculous amount of power and use it as a PC just for the hell of it.
- Put a lot of random explosive / flammable materials in a power microwave and watch the results (from a safe distance)
- Learn hacking (not of the malicious kind)
- Blow shit up with my mind. (If you don't know where this comes from, you missed out a pretty funny ending to a movie)

 

[Joshatdot]

* Have a drink with William Shatner
* Solo Sky Dive
* Go 200+ MPH in a car
* Drink a bottle of Samuel Adams Utopia

 

[LiquidSnak]

1. They find a cure for MS.....so I can have one last dance with my wife.

I just shed a manly tear.

Mine is pretty simple.

1. Live life to its fullest

 

[alfred01]

1. They find a cure for MS.....so I can have one last dance with my wife.


I agree with LiquidSnak. My deepest and most heartfelt prayers go out to you and your wife Wolves.

 

[Fayla]

1. Live in a town that is always/almost always covered and surrounded by snow 24/7 365 days a year
2. Find that special someone who will stick by me to the end
3. ...Buy my first ex-GF's house and rent it out

 

[Pusspa]

just one thing for me: I would like this 9 year long war with my children's mother end so i can finally be allowed to enjoy the love and joy my children bring me.

 

[alfred01]

Pusspa, I'll be wishing that for you too. Best of Luck. David
