Bucket List

Postby Jay Feely » Sat Feb 04, 2012 2:09 pm

Name one major thing you want to do before you die.

For me, this is one: Climb MT. Everest
You will have to subdue me to restrain me. I been a bad boy so make sure you torture me too with anything but pain.

Climbing Everest is the perfect last-on-the-bucket-list item because one in ten climbers doesn’t make it back... and that’s of those who actually get to the top!
As for mine: a spaceflight (some day).

Both Highly notable quests, I have a simpler one I would like to pay my respects to a Fellow veteran truly the last of his kind. Mesphisto The only A7V left in the world. As a former tanker, to see the last surviving A-7V SturmPanzerwagen Would truly be a site to see. I am quite in awe when I think of this majestic beast this is the LAST one there were only 21 of these monsters built.
Now I am quite certain to the majority of the people who read this will say OK its a TANK big deal, But to a lover of history to see this up close would simply be incredible. The same way some one who is a pilot would say if he saw a Sopwith Camel or a Folker D R1
I am truly envious of all the fine people on this board whom hail from Australia who have had the chance to see up close and personal this venerable old veteran who now calmly sits encased in glass.

Hi Sarobah,

I know your passion is astronomy. I hope you get to view Northern Hemisphere skies someday. Still I can't help notice the irony that you view and dream of far off places many light years away, but while on the ground you love being bound! Cheers, T.T.

Before I die, I'd love to run with the bulls during the Fiesta de San Fermín in Pamplona, Spain. I'm trying to arrange a future trip with my friends as we speak.

Also, it would be nice to foil a crime, maybe.

For the uninitiated, this is Mephisto:

I vaguely remember as a little girl being able to climb on it. Now it’s out of bounds (and rightly so).

Keep in mind that it might be right before you die.

Hi TU. Check out the webpage of SiriusXM satellite radio personality Phlash Phelps. Go to phlashphelps.com and check the home page which is the same as his myspace page. (Yes, it's still around) He has a similar bucket list. When I last checked he was up to 642 roller coasters worldwide. Now some of those coasters may no longer be there, but I think his list will inspire you. Ride safely.

Hi Sarobah, If I ever win the lottery (don't hold your breath, 'cause I certainly ain't) I'd consider flying you and Jason Toddman to a campground somewhere in the Rockies, maybe Colorado or Alberta. I like to combine fantasies, so consider this a Double Delight. I'd have you and Jason staked and spread-eagled under the stars. You'd look like the label on a bottle of Dos Equis, the popular Mexican beer. I'd then sit on Jason and hold the telescope to your face as you admire the Milky Way. For now I'd skip your gags as I like to hear what 2 Great Minds have to say to each other. Of course that depends on my luck with the lottery, which I've always said is voluntary taxation. In other words don't count on it! Cheers, T.T.

Heh! My favorite fantasies (besides the one shown in my avatar) involve interstelar travel (ala Star Trek) and flying like Superman, and having characters acquire superhuman powers like flying by bveing tied up, so for me the irony is even greater than it is for you - only I noticed this a very long time ago! :big:

Better do it soon then. Australian officials want to ban the practice, partly for environmental and safety concerns and because the native aborignes consider Ayer's Rock a holy place and don't like tourists climbing onto it. Considering what buttheads tourists can be, I don't blame them for feeling Ayer's Rock is being desecrated.

Travel Europe, specifically Germany and the Wacken Open Air Festival in August. That and get married and start a family with my woman. I don't really consider these things "bucket list" perse, just things I have wanted to do for a long time, and look to make a reality in the next 5-10 years.
