MY BUCKET LIST:
Most of us are probably aware of the upcoming feature film, Bucket List, starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, America’s favorite old people. It seems to be a tug-at-your-heart little tale about a couple of old goons with terminal illnesses who decide to team up and do a bunch of things they’d been meaning to do before they died. In typical Hollywood fashion, this will probably entail 2 hours of cute family moments, old-people bonding time, a lonely regret scene in which one of the protagonists holds a high quality polaroid of a woman he forgot to tell “I love you” enough times, followed by a comfort scene when the other protagonist shows up, telling him he did his best and sometimes you gotta just let go, and let God. Rather than see the movie… I’ve decided to compose my own bucket list. This will be a less endearing list, with street grit and balls.
Walk up and mouth-slap somebody of importance with no provocation. Maybe either clergy or a district judge.
Wiz on someone from above. Not like, really high, just a couple feet about their head with an impish grin.
A similar action from a similar orifice… however not wiz.
Force a shirtless fat kid to wear 10lb ankle weights and run through a wheat field. The catch: I stand on a barstool and slingshot grapes at him.
Drag a garbage bag full of steaks behind my car for a few miles in a very busy part of town.
Have a box and a sign outside a grocery store advertising free kittens. When a kid walks over to see, I throw a wet cat on him and run off.
Trick someone into signing legal documents that give me ownership of them and their family.
Fill a handgun with blank shots, walk up to people on the street, and shoot at them in the face at point blank range… see if I can make them wet themselves.
Hold a huge Halloween charity banquet for mental illness sufferers. Invite hundreds of paranoid schizophrenics.
Tell a girl I’m in love with her as an April Fools prank. I’m aware that it’s been done… but I really want to create a Carrie.
Declare my property to be a sovereign nation. Surrender at the first sign of military or police action, but try and force the government to sign an internationally recognized treaty.
Fill a swimming pool with shaving cream, but paint the top to look convincingly like still water. Get someone to jump in.
