What Have You Always Wanted To Do?

[TheChosen]

Everyone always wants to do something what they have always wanted to do.

So tell us what you always wanted to do.

For example (this is true): Ive always wanted to dress up as Vincent Valentine and go to a Japan Cosplay event.

[TheGiantMidgit]

Joyride about in a tank. Perhaps, upon my inevitable accumulation of billions of the local currency, I'll take on the endevour. But until then, a man can only dream...

...except, imagine the Sherman in question riding about through your local suburbs (naturally through yards and houses) while I hollar from the controls "Whooo hoo!!! Bill me later folks, I'm rich!"

It is perhaps the ultimate in jack-holery.

[omg]

ever scince the original napster was shut down i have wanted to punch lars ulrich right in his smug rich fat ripping off norwiegen metal face.

[Evad]

I've always wanted to go to Japan.

[Stroggy]

I've always wanted to see Nabucco in the Scala of Milan.

[Abi79]

I've always wanted to have a girlfriend :wub: ....

...and, of course, to: fly in a F-22, be able to see Area 51 from inside, live in a house with all my friends and have a better computer.

[Tulac]

I've always wanted to juggle with 5 chainsaw's while standing on my left foot, no can do :(

[Quintopotere]

- being an hermit

- having the voice of Frank Sinatra (this doesn't need a photo)

[BeefontheBone]

Doesn't the hermit tihing kind of clash with the others a bit? Hermits aren't widely known for their girlfriends!
Incidentally, why do you want a girlfriend who seems to live in Peewee's Playhouse?

I am singularily unusual in this regard, but here goes:

I would like to safely grab onto a 500,000 volt transmission line, while it is carrying full rated power (I missed my chance to do it in the early 1990's, at an engineering conference [poor student, no money to go]).

I would like to drop a metal chain across the bus bars of a large three phase generator. It is the only way to test the overcurrent protection of the generator, and it is a standard acceptance test. I was told by my power systems professor that the bus bars (long aluminum pipes) have so much current going along them that they twist about like snakes stapled to poles, from the electromagnetic forces.

Take part in a whole season's worth of Junkyard War challenges.

Finally, get paid to do any of the above on a regular basis.

Oh yeah, write a novel or draw a manga. David Weber has made alot of money translating battles between sailing vessels of the napoleonic period to space battles (the Honor Harrington series). I would love to do the same for the period of steel warships, before Dreadnought (I just want to have stokers in a space battle).

LOL



I always wanted to operate an airplane and jump from an airplane with parashute. Had two pilots in family. LOL

[SirPeter]

I always wanted to own my own organisation that kills pochers(sp) and bomb whale hunters out of the ocean with full crew on it.

[gregor]

wow... well not exactly a wish in this post, but i just wanted to say many wishes form some peopel here could actually came true quite simple. all it takes is a bit of effort.
for example if you want to fly a plane go find a pilot, rent a plane take a drive with it and ask the pilot if you can drive a little.
then you have the guy with blacksmith wish. it 's easy find a blacksmith and ask him to work a bit with him as apprentice for a day or two.


all i am saying most of your wishes (except for some unusuall) ones only need a little effort to come true.

[Tulac]

Also you can find a girlfriend if you search hard enough ;)

[Rogue]

Yeah, but the problem is that most here use Google to search. LOL

Also KOsta's search option on Abandonia is not helping them. LOL LOL

And if you search (for) 'hard' (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hard&btnG=Google+Search) in google, one of the top links is die hard! :roflol:

Not even this search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=hard+enough&btnG=Search) will help them... :bleh: :tomato: LOL

Well, I don't have to make all those things at the same time ;)
I could start working as a blacksmith and singing as Frank... so, I'll build myself an helicopter and I'll start to piloting it... I'll go flying to pick up that girl... when she will left me, I'll become an hermit... and I'll keep to sing like Frank :ok:
Anyway, I don't know Peewee, but looking at that pic I not even see the furnitures... :drool:

@ rlbell: I'm near to take my degree in electrical engineering and I'm working on an high voltage measuring sistem, so I understand you perfectly :ok:

[The Fifth Horseman]

I've always wanted to get my hands on the Daemonifuge graphic novel.

And hey, it seems like I might - in very near future.

[Dark Piedone]

I always wanted a good computer to play World of Warcraft and other new games, and I alway wanted to have long hair a T-shirt with Metallica or Motorhead and a big motorcycle.

[Toxik]

I want to:(notice i didnt use the phrase I always wanted to,because that wouldnt be true)
own the world/have all those supernatural abilities im daydreaming of
play on metal concert with some good ol' bands
get rid of those small remains of problems that survived my "I dont care" attitude
taste human flesh(Go Lecter!)

[Evad]

Sometimes, it's not about finding the right person, but being the right person.

Taste human flesh!!!! you sicko!!! look up Issei Sagawa on google, that'll probably make your mouth water :twisted:

[punch999]

[win98]

I always wanted to fly into space and drop a bomb on sudaun husane.

[#BlakhOle#]

Well since that has been taken...

I would want a computer the size of a room, using the most advanced technology, and at it's size the whole thing will be using nano-technology.

To live in a house that is air tight with a great home-made security system. It would be built in a sturdy way that things such as tornadoes would pass over it, and walls able to take amazing temperatures from magma, or an ice age. This house would have a two-story basement (both having secured emergency exits hidden from outside) and a tunnel going extremely deep into the ground, into an amazing bunker/bomb shelter. that wouldn't budge even if an atom bomb landed right on top of it. The tunnel leading to the shelter would have tons of extremely thick metal doors that any1 would surely give up trying to get in. In the shelter would be enough supplies to last two lifetimes, with a personal hypersleep/freezamijig to wake up in the future (preferabally at a time where they would have found a way to have humans live without aging and dying that way). This shelter would also have many sources of power to generate it for more than three lifetimes, also one suitable for the hypersleep. Maybe even add another room-sized computer down there, with backups from the last constantly updated when not in use.

In this house I would have my best friends come, and it would be even better if I could bring them into my shelter when needed, scared to death talking about how the world might end, and me talking about how there should be a book on everything needed to know for the last survivors on earth. Soon we would not be afriad and eventually get bored, then I suprise them with all the newest game systems, even if they haven't been released in the US yet! Then I could create games on my computer and we could all work together and if life was still mainly normal on the surface It would probably be one of the best games ever! Besides I would know because the underground computer would have internet up to the surface if it still exists. In the meantime, if we stayed there for years I would make even better "friends" with my existing friends that are girls. Well only one of course. That would be my girlfriend to go along with this.

Also if this all came true and I and my friends made it to the surface, and the majority of you are still alive and still active on these forums, I would post another huge long thing describing everything, and also saying what a coincidence it was that all this happened, then I would make a hyperlink to this post and then life would continue....

.....Unless I had to use the shelter again....and clone myself.......by the way this house would be on an island and once done in hypersleep maybe soon a planet.

THAT...is what I would do.

BUT....if it's a WISH you're looking for, I'd wish for:
"The power to do anything imaginable."

Just as good as infinite wishes, but doing it myself.

...

What a waste of time. I feel happy.

I bet most of you never even read all or most of that!

[Kearnsy]

Well... lets just say it involves me, hot Sweedish twins and can of whipped cream :D

[TheGiantMidgit]

(in reference to Xeros) Hn, wow, you've really thought that one through, huh...

as for wishing for wishes, I personally find that, when confronted by an uptight Genie who disallows such endevours, utilize your first wish in a manner that eliminates that law, ie. "I wish I could wish for wishes", followed soon after by "I wish for infinite wishes". Loopholes are enjoyable. ...and if you wish to do it yourself, just hat trick it with "I wish I didn't need you to execute these wishes."

I guess you could say that. I think as I'm typing though, I absolutely hate writing on a pen and papaer but typing is just so easy.

but for that....yah I got carried away...I had nothing else to do anyways....unless I wanted to play Alone in the Dark demo with that invulnerable thing that crashes through the window...

That bomb shelter thing, though. . .

While I am definitely too young to have been around for the cuban missile crisis, I do remember that it has only been for the last thirteen years that an atomic bomb killing me does not also mean atomic bombs destroying everything that I have ever known. There is now alot of obsolete fiction premised on the cold war only ending by going hot. While much of that fiction was well written (Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising), I am much happier knowing that a nuclear bomb falling on anyone does not mean nuclear bombs falling on everyone, so I do not miss it.

As you may have guessed, I have little fear of terrorist nukes.

[Master MC]

I've always wanted to be a BRAIN SURGEON!

Also: Ive always wanted to be a criminal master mind that sits on a chair and pets a cat. I could have my own private army, my own evil laugh and an unstoppaple enemy who always ruins my plans.

[Scatty]

Well, if you have enemies, one day they'll always get you. There's one golden rule - there's always someone out there who's stronger than you.
