The One thing before you die....

Post by Guest »

Whats the one thing, or the top three things, that you'd like to accomplish before you die?

I'd like to meet my dad, sing for the Metropolitan Opera, & raise a happy family.

You guys, all set your sights so low... I'll settle for nothing less than being elected God-King.

Then again maybe I'd be happy doing something else...like drinking another beer.

I wouldn't wanna take over the world . . . that's a lot of pressure, ruling the world, even if you are horribly corrupt and all. Really, all I'd like to take-over is Pittsburgh . . . and maybe Fiji, if I have time. Also, I'd like to shag a girl with the initials C.J. That might happen some time next weekend, depending on whether or not her parents happen to be nazis again and make her go home at 9:30 (I was bloody pissed off about that).

Also, I'd like a tasty burrito.

Funny, I've been thinking about this :)
I would like to...
Marry a good woman (I have an idea about who it might be, too) and raise a happy family
Visit every country in Europe
Make it into the Guiness Book of World Records
Learn to hang-glide
See every mainstream movie that comes into theatres during a single year

Can we please cease with the anti-Christian sentiments? It's one thing not to believe in somebody's religion; it's entirely another to vocalise the desire to eradicate it. I don't force my Catholicism on you; don't force your atheism on me.

If there were such farcical plateaus as heaven and hell, I propose that heaven would be excruciatingly boring. At least there would be some interesting people in hell.

Jorge Luis Borges,
Lewis Carroll,
Peter Cook,
Charles Darwin,
John Lennon,
Bill Hicks,
Adolf Hitler,
Rene Gislaine Magritte,
Bob Marley,
Friedrich Nietzsche,
Oscar Wilde.

To name but a few. Shakespeare would probably be there too. Yes, I know. I have a point.

So send me to hell. Burntastic!

Ha ha, yes lets all burn in hell. Apparantly anyone who doesnt believe in God goes to Hell. I thinks it was once religion's way of forcing people into believing a long time ago perhaps (but thats just me)

1)Do something different every day (my life is WAY too boring)
2)Get married and have a familly
3)Finish TR

P.S I thought this was top 3, most people have more than three... but what the heck you only live once! Gotta fit loads of stuff in!

No more religion talk for this thread, although Greybeard's comment was the funniest thing I've seen all day. The only religion talk that Vyvara or I will tolerate is if one of your goals as to do with religion. If you really must open another Lounge religion thread, then do so.
By the way, I'll give Eraser my address if it means he will come over and I can break his fist with my forehead.

The very last things I'd do before I die would have to be dropkicking as many babies out the window while eating a 4 pound bacon cheese burger.
Then I would go and spread the word of God cause he is all good.
