My list of things to do before I die...→[More:]Inspired by Capn's post.
-Menage e trois in an open field under the Aurora Borealis listening to wolves howling in the distance while on acid.
-Eat the still-beating heart of a ninja.
-Publish a decent novel, have it made into a really craptastic movie. The kind of movie that sux so hard, it inspires award-winning drag musical reviews.
-World domination. Maybe even a little world bondage and discipline.
-Menage e trois in an open field under the Aurora Borealis listening to wolves howling in the distance while on acid.
Overrated, wolves on acid mostly stare at their paws and giggle.
-Eat the still-beating heart of a ninja.
Underrated, way way underrated, eat an enemie's heart today!
Me personally I would like to own two boats, a fresh little 35 foot 70's era fiberglass hull sailboat and a beat to shit, barely floating wooden house boat with a coal burning stove and a car radio wired to three speakers.
- see aurora borealis
- see alaska, nova scotia, walk across scotland, see south africa and about 100 other places I'll think of after I hit post
- get rich helping peole trust their own brains.
- Travel. Travel more once teleportation is perfected.
- See Halley's Comet again.
- Marriage & children
- Be loved enough to not be one of those old ladies found two weeks after she dies with her face chewed off by her 20 hungry cats.

I'd like to visit Russia, Ireland, (actually, just add in half of Europe), at least a place or two in South America, a handful of them there tropical islands, all fifty states, a few places in Canada, Cuba, a few other places.
I would also like to see an erupting volcano or at least lava (probably visiting Hawaii will satisfy that), own either of these: Lotus Elise, Lotus Espirit, or one of the high-end Ferraris.
Overrated, wolves on acid mostly stare at their paws and giggle.
I'll vouch for that.
