If you all don't stop talking about Journey (cringe), I'll start saying things like "Rush is over-rated" and "Who told that bloke from Pink Floyd he could play guitar".

Well, say what you want about Pink Floyd (cringe).

As for pre keyboard Rush: Not overrated. With the keyboards: I don't even know who the hell those guys are.

If you were to do that, then you and certain members of the website would have to go your Separate Ways.

Journey was my favorite band when I was 12. I still dig their stuff in a nostalgic sort of way.

1) Drive a big rig

If you ever make it out here to Oregon, Eugene area, look me up.  My Uncle owns a fleet of these (including a drag racer).

You're from Eugene? I'm 3 days into a 4 day drive for my permanent relocation to Eugene ;)

Hope you have a place to live in mind already.  Finding someplace to live isn't tough, but right now the housing market is outa sight for the income in this area (this is when all of you who live in Maryland and California laugh loudly).  Welcome to the area and all that.  smiley

I'm glad your life is to short to include that, WAP. Quick point though, would the song be about the killing, or the erection, or a the whole combo?

I'm too young to really rule out the possibility that I'll do some stuff, but hey, here's my list:

Learn to play violin.

Learn to sword fight (fencing or just for show, it's all good).

Move to Ireland.

Own a house with secret passages and cool stuff like that.

And the one that will definitely never happen because it's a bad idea, horribly unsafe, and ridiculously expensive: have a tiger/lion/panther/other large predatory cat as a pet.

Yeah, I'm a nerd.

Just secret passages.
I'm all about secret passages around the house. They are drawn into almost every floor plan I've come up with so far (I'm hoping to start building my own house within the next few years).

Turret tower, secret passages, tunnel to the garage, secret underground gaming room, library with bookshelf door, firefighter's pole, full bar. The necessities.

There's a secret passage in the house I'm in now. It's pretty simple. It runs from the office to one of the upstairs guest bedrooms via a hidden popout wall and a movable 4 foot bookshelf on wheels at the other. I freaked the hell out of one of my friends popping out of the wall while he was watching television. He almost fell over the coffee table jumping up in fright.

Here's your swordsman techniques.

Also, my mother's family owned a leopard for awhile when she was a kid....but that was in the 60s and 70s, and her father was a crazy military contractor.

* Visit/live on the moon. Some whining maggot decided space travel was "too expensive." Grumbles.
* Naval aviator career. I seriously wanted to fly off carriers when I was in junior high. Then I realized I was tempermentally unsuited for military service (not to mention a horror show of genetic imperfections).
* Build the 4x space strategy MMG I first thought of in high school, before modern MMGs existed.
* Start and sing in a shoegazer-goth band that performs covers of WWII big band and other older songs. Yes, seriously. Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight" doesn't strike you as goth?
* Write a novel.
* Purchase an WWII surplus submarine and live on it.
* Visit Yamamoto Isoroku's crash site.
* Purchase AC1 from its current owners and run it myself.

I'll take a pass on listing unfulfilled sexual fantasies, if no one minds...
