Things to Do Before You Die

[Mofo Rising]

My original thought for this was "Underappreciated Moments in Life."

But hey, we've got a limited time in this life, there are some things you should really try.

The first thing I thought of is probably male specific. If you ever get the chance, pee off a cliff. I can't really explain why this specific action is satisfying, but it is. Marking territory? I don't know. All I can say is that you ever get the chance, pee off a giant cliff. Probably pointless, but you'll thank me for it later.

What pointless actions do you think everybody should do at one point or another?

One chance at life. No matter how stupid, what do you think every person should try before they die?

Find an arrowhead.
Yeah, it is my hobby, but there is something so viscerally satisfying about wrapping your hand around a sleek flint missile and knowing you are the first person to touch it since its maker lost it thousands of years ago.
It's like holding hands with history!!

I'd like to see an atomic explosion. Theres just something awe inspiring about a mushroom cloud...not dropped on people-like a test site.

I've never peed off a cliff, but I did pee off the side of an aircraft carrier, 60 ft. down into the James River, while it was parked there getting overhauled, while standing watch, with an M-16 strapped to my shoulder, at 2 o'clock in the morning. I feel confident, however, that I wasn't the first guy to do that.

I'd like to experience a sensory deprivation tank.  Not sure why, but I think it would be an interesting experience.

Oh. Good one. I am fascinated by that. There is a mixture of desire to try it and feeling like it might be a bit frightening as well.

Buy yourself an arcade or pinball machine.
Buy yourself a HUGE high-def tv.
Go to a championship/finals/world series game.

[The Burgomaster]

Buy yourself a HUGE high-def tv.

This will happen in about a year unless my huge, old "regular def" TV dies before then.  Most likely, it will be a 3-D TV, too.  Until then, I'll stick with my 12 year old 60" TV that weighs about 7 tons and takes up an entire corner of my family room.

I've peed off a cliff and found an arrowhead and I don't want to see a nuclear explosion. 

I haven't been in a sensory deprivation tank, but I'll bet it's like having a full body MRI.  You are laying down in a tube like a hot water heater, completely encased, with this loud droning whir -white noise- of the machine, and gently flashing lights... I've heard most people complain and feel claustrophobic, but I myself nearly dozed off.  I found it very relaxing. 

You should see your favorite band so close that you can make eye contact (CHRISSIE HYNDE shrugged at me!!)

Sort of an embarrassing story, but:  I was sitting in the third row at a Wayne Newton show.  He looked at me and said, "Look at that head!"  Then he asked me to stand up and they shined the spotlight on the top of my shaved head.  The audience applauded loudly.

Are you sure it wasn't because your fly was unzipped?

I told you they shined the light on the top of my shaved head . . . but I didn't specify which head . . .

it's interesting; but not pleasant at all....

Get some of that nacho cheese stuff, microwave it, then dip some Sour Cream and Onion Pringles potato chips in it.

Life just doesn't get any better than that
