Impossible or highly unlikely items on your bucket list

Kodos · 10-31-2013, 06:31 AM

1. See a real T-rex in person.
2. See a real alien spacecraft.
3. See the Loch Ness monster.
4. See a ghost.
5. See bigfoot.
6. Witness IU win a national championship in football.

I'd love to go into space- high enough up to see the earth and know it's a discrete object (i.e. flying in a plane where it's still horizon for as far as the eye cannot see does not count) and that I was not on it. Maybe in my lifetime, we'll realize this for the common person but maybe not.

Kodos · 10-31-2013, 09:42 AM

Going into space would be awesome.

Am I just being a jerk to mention that Kodos' #6 is probably least likely? Yes?

I apologize.

DaddyTorgo · 10-31-2013, 10:02 AM

Space!

JetsIn06 · 10-31-2013, 10:38 AM

Definitely seeing/getting a visit from (as a species, not in a probing kind of way) aliens.

Vince, Pt. II · 10-31-2013, 10:58 AM

Playing Augusta National.

Oooh that's even better than space!

heybrad · 10-31-2013, 11:09 AM

My brother and I used to talk about climbing Mount Everest.

I think #1 is less likely. The others, it's probably a toss-up.

Travis · 10-31-2013, 11:25 AM

I'm not a big one for bucket list items, but one thing I've always wanted to do was take BP at a major league park, preferably Toronto. Not living anywhere near one sure puts a major kink in that idea, but I see that you can rent time at most of them for stuff like that so I may have to plan a guys weekend at some point to get this one taken care of.

RendeR · 10-31-2013, 12:27 PM

I want to travel into interstellar space. I know due to many factors this can never happen, but tis the one dream I have never let go of from childhood. To see another star up close...to set foot on a world not of this solar system. To truly become an explorer of the galaxy.

I was 5 when I thought of this for the first time. I remember exactly where and when it happened. I'll never let this one go.

Passacaglia · 10-31-2013, 12:30 PM

I bet going into space would be a letdown.

Kodos · 10-31-2013, 12:31 PM

True. I'd rather journey to the centre of the Earth.

I'm confused...I don't see Natalie Portman on the list.

I would be happy with this but I was shooting smaller with just getting to space

molson · 10-31-2013, 12:48 PM

I would say just going off to the other side of the world with a bunch of money but no plans or timetable, and spending months or longer just traveling the whole globe.

This too, but I would like to be probed.

Kodos · 10-31-2013, 01:39 PM

Sorry. You're not probe-worthy.

molson · 10-31-2013, 01:42 PM

That's why it's impossible or highly unlikely.

Kodos · 10-31-2013, 01:45 PM

mckerney · 10-31-2013, 01:47 PM

I'd still like to win a Heisman trophy. It wouldn't have to be me being awarded the Heisman, I'd be perfectly happy if it was something like winning Ricky Williams' in a poker game, beating Johnny Football in a street race for his, or getting Tebow's after challenging him to a passing contest.

That'd be epic, man.

TCY Junkie · 10-31-2013, 01:57 PM

I would like to hire the most beautiful girl in the world and get Pumpy to chauffeur us around. I'd tell Pumpy it was a very important meeting we were going to have and then get him really irritated at me before she showed up. Pumpy would keep interjecting in our conversation, the girl would tell him he's very witty. Pumpy after a while would drop me off. They then went to her house. A week later when Pumpy resurfaced, I told him he had lung cancer. That the lady was a chain smoker and smoked the whole week they were alone and he didn't even notice. He was shattered by this at first but then thought of this brilliant plan to tell jokes to the cancer, thinking the cancer would like him. Well, the cancer couldn't stand his jokes and left his body..... If I insulted anyone on here besides Pumpy that wasn't my intenet, he's really the only one that entertained me enough to mess with. One day I'd like to randomly run into him.
