So what's on your fuck-it list?

It's like the bucket list, but it is stuff that some people want to do that you never want to try.

I'll start.

climb Mt. Everest

bungee jump

sky dive

dog sled to the north or south pole

do any kind of "iron man" anything

hunt anything from a helicopter

and any kind of social event (I'm very awkward with people I haven't met). Also, discussing politics with any conservative. They'll never agree with anything I have to say, regardless of the facts- and they sure as hell won't convert me, so why waste time?

Sorry, one more. "Extreme" anything (but especially roller coasters).

I just did 434 miles in about 8 days and thought the goal a couple of times was just not dying....

7. Hunt. period

would never, ever, ever, EVER hunt ANYTHING. Unless it were an extreme post-apocalyptic scenario and I needed to feed my family. We'd probably live on bugs.

Just not really into participating in anything dangerous, like race car driving or extreme sports stuff.

I'd like to learn to fly a helicopter, but know I probably won't do that. I'd like to ride in one, though.

I'd "swim" with sharks - be in a cage - just to be able to see them up-close; I think they're fascinating.

(Actually, I did try that once or twice, but never again)

Spend all day glued to a cell phone

Text message/yak on phone while driving

Put fuzzy dice or any other view-obstructing crap anywhere near my windshield

Put a "Baby on board" sticker on my car

Use the "drive-thru" facility at a bank or fast food place

Get into debt to buy a car or house

Hang out in a sleazy bar

in a few sleazy bars myself.

Not all it's cracked up to be by people who act like they're having a blast doing it.

Rather sad, actually. Pathetic and pitiful crowd.

Can't believe I ever did it.

You could get up there and whip the crowd into a frenzy by saying increasingly crazy shit while they applaud wildly.

There's a reason why we evolved from hunting and gathering and why we invented something called pool side service.

roaming the world eating things that should not be thought of as food. By me, anyway.
