Ok Lounge in honour of the fairly crappy movie that just happened to be on tonight I'm starting a thread. What's your bucket list? (Things to do before you die)

Here's the ground rules.

You have 6 months to live before you kick said bucket.

You have $5 mill completely at your disposal

Your disease, whatever it is enables you to be completely mobile, no pain etc (Until you bite the dust)

Also just to be a dick you're not allowed to give any of the money away or leave it in your will.

GOGOGOGO

In before hookersNcoke

Angle shot: Sink a bunch of money into the business so it can largely run itself without me, make loved ones shareholders and managers so they're looked after (with some maintenance effort), which is the whole reason I'm even doing this.

Purely for me:
- Space tourist (if six months is enough time to prepare). Failing that:
- Fire a gun.
- Play the guitar.
- See more of my own country via train, then two weeks in each of Italy, Dubai, Egypt, Russia, Brazil, France, and a handful of others including a month or so in the States. If possible, attend a gala function for a reason to dress up and be immortalized as "and friend" next to someone recognizable.
- Buy a Bentley or something and race it in the Baja 1000.
- Attend hugely expensive fundraisers so I can have dinner with authors, academics, and businesspersons I admire, because buying my way in is currently my best hope of meeting any of these people in such a short length of time.
- Hire P.J. O'Rourke to write the rough draft of the book.

My imminent death would make any transitory physical pleasure pail in comparison.

Boy do I have some bad news for you, you might want to sit down.

Go to the Bronx and get some cannolis (CT ones just don't measure up)

Visit famous haunted locations, the Queen Mary, Bed and Breakfasts, etc.

Play Tom Dwan heads up

1) Catch a deer with my bare hands and have sex with it.
2) BASE jump every day.

Visit castles in Germany and temples in China. Visit Yosemite and Yellowstone parks. Go skydiving, more than once if I don't have a heart attack or a stoner didn't pack my chute. Get a beach house and go swimming almost every day, bodysurfing or boogieboarding if possible. Eat really, really good food. Go on long sunset runs on the beach. Borrow somebody's dog to go along on the runs with me, so I could see another spirit getting absolute joy out of that. Sneak him a steak before I brought him home to his master. Be nice to people.

Blarg, please, remember your reputation.

Start a war. A big F**KING war.

I was wondering whether it was only me who would consider doing harm to the bad people. Although I'd probably just go on the hippy trail like Blarg.

I would do terrible things too if not for the possibility of bringing great shame upon my family. I mean, they're already going to be pretty unhappy about me dying, they don't need to deal with me stealing a giraffe and riding around on it shooting at people with a paintball gun.

1. Eat crazy expensive food every day.
2. Go to any movie that has a chance of being good.
3. Play in the wsop (hopefully those 6 months are during the wsop)
4. Play tons of big tourneys & cash games online.
5. On my last day I'd probably run across the court of an NBA game naked.

I couldn't imagine wanting to play a poker tournament during my last months of life. I've always thought of poker as a means to an end and I'd think of it as a waste at the end of my life.

Especially online, the epitome of grinding.

see the aurora borealis, see the milky way with w/o binos or a telescope (hopefully from some mountaintop in south america), mostly travel probably and eat some delicious food...

mine would probably involve me attempting to play all of the top public golf courses in the world in that time frame with either Royal Portrush, Belvoir Park golf course, Royal County Down or St. Andrews Old Course being the last course I ever step foot on.

Travel - This will be hard because I've never been out of North America and there are a ton of places I know I want to go, and even more that I don't know yet. I'm not the type for spending a day at the Eiffel tower, but like a week in an Italian villa if I'm loving it there. That'll make it even harder to prioritize where to go. This place looks awesome.


Spend every moment with my <1 year old daughter while she is awake.

Make notes - leave a large list of insights or lessons learned that I want to pass on to her.

At night, Great Gatsby it up. Get everyone who's ever touched me to meet me on the road and throw some big lavish parties in these exotic places. Only the best of food, drink, whatever. Hopefully most of them don't even know that I'm dying because I don't want them to feel the need to be depressed or the pressure of "making those last moments with me count".

Figure out how to transition out of my company so it can run without me and I can pass ownership on to my family. Try not to spend too much time on this.

If during baseball season - go to a game at Yankee stadium and Fenway.

If during football season - tailgate in some great college spots like Gainesville, Austin, Ohio State, Penn State, etc.

Try heroin - To see what all the fuss is about.

not sure i would try heroin, but i would probably try X...

This

Also, have some sexy time with another woman. I want to experience that (I think) before I die.

Scuba dive lots. I'd aim to do some of the Great Barrier Reef; some of the Red Sea, various bits of Polynesia; the sardine migration in South Africa; Hawaii; random bits of the Med like the Island of Medas and Malta; Thailand etc. (I've dived some of these places before, but I liked them so would go again.)

Doing these from a yacht could be fun, with family and friends aboard.

This is an interesting thread.

Travel: If my cancer/whatever allowed me to watch college football season, I'd go throughout the south and watch various games in different stadiums.

During the week, I would rock climb all areas in the U.S., scuba dive off the Caribbean, and hike as well. (Then on Saturdays go to said college football game, sundays-fridays fly out somewhere else). I would also take my friends with me during this time. I also want to go to concerts of different artists.

After college football season is over, I would travel the world. I've always wanted to see Australia and more of Southeast Asia. I'd buy a world plane ticket and travel around the rest of my days, doing all of the above activity and more.

During this time I'd eat like a mofo. I'd still do exercise, though, and I'd still try to maintain my current figure/condition with regards to workout.

During the last few weeks, I'd come home. I'd spend the last few weeks with friends and family, maybe go skiing depending on what the weather is like.

Also, whoever said 'go to space', that would be very cool. I'd consider doing that as well.

Grunch:

I would take a trip around the world with my family.

Then the last week I would go to a big week long electronic music festival and boot heroin and smoke crack while banging as many sluts as possible for the last week of my life. I've never done either one of these drugs (I've done enough E,K and other drugs) but it would seem like a fun way to end my life.

But with my luck I would end up living out the rest of my life a broke drug addict.

I don't understand why anyway would play poker that would seem like the last thing as you wouldn't be able to spend the money if you won anyway.

Copied from a friends email today:

WTF! This pretty much describes to a tee one of the things I would have at the top of my list and this guy is whining about how it is isolated and out of the way!

WSOP ME
Travel A LOT
Offer Kate Beckinsale a cool mill to be my sex slave for a couple weeks
Skydive
Smoke down a Montana HWY in a exotic sportscar
My last week will be 24/7 wired on scarface powder, til the last day when I mainline heroin and jump into the polarbear pool at the zoo and die of a bloody mauling.

If you want to do this because you think there is no speed limit, there is one in Montana, there wasn't one from about 97-99. In 99 a speed limit of 75 was imposed.
