You’re alive, so live.

1. Go on a pilgrimage to the McDonald’s Play Place

Too tall for entrance? Shoes don’t fit in the cubby hole? No problem. Rules are just an illusion.

I’ll see you in the ball pit.

2. Name a constellation after yourself

Leave your legacy in the stars.

Flying LlamaFish’s Ear Lobe > Orion’s Belt

3. Have Larry King sign your favorite pair of suspenders

If I ever hit the jackpot, I’m donating mine to the Smithsonian.

4. Shave an unsuspecting meerkat

A good deed never goes unrewarded.

5. Write a Haiku.

Dear Nicholas Cage,

You make too many movies.

Please take up quilting.

6. Join a cult

Cults get a bad rap, but can enhance your life in ways you’ve only dreamed of.

Perks include: The warm, fuzzy feeling of acceptance, a complete understanding of the Universe, and yes… comet riding.

7. Ride inside a Kangaroo’s pouch

I plan on leaving this world the same way I came into it… inside a marsupial’s pouch.

    Too funny!!! I suspect your shoes never fit in the cubby hole-

    You couldn’t have said it better about Nicholas Cage but you’ve gone too far with no.4. I’m afraid I’m going to have to report you to SPUSUM (Society for the Prevention of Unnecessary Shaving of Unsuspecting Meercats).

  3. Hehe what a great list!

  4. Davina says:

    Laughing, laughing, laughing. :-) Hmmm, let’s see… I think I’ll name a constellation after myself. How about the Big Dipper… oh wait, that’s already been taken.

  5. Marelisa says:

    You’ve mentioned the kangaroo before, I see it’s something you want to do real bad. :-)

  6. Last one in the ball pit’s a rotten egg.

  7. Some excellent suggestions.

  8. patti: Thanks! Your guess is all too true. I spent many tear filled afternoons watching the children play in the ball pit from afar.

    Julian: Please don’t report me to SPUSUM. If you get to know me, you’ll find out I have done extensive meerkatarian work.

    Vered: Gracias!

    Marelisa: Riding in a kangaroo’s pouch is my lifelong dream.

    Bamboo Forest: Rotten is an understatement.

    prayerthegate: Thanks!

  9. Davina: You should definitely name a constellation after yourself!

  10. Excellent list of things to do. What about sky diving naked?

    Wonderful haiku… I see a book of poems in your future

  12. J.D. Meier says:

    I just can’t find a willing Kangaroo but I like the idea. Maybe I would have to do it as a cartoon. Otherwise, maybe a healthy alternative is to ride an Ostrich?
