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.

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.

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.

I've always wanted to go to Japan.

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

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.

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

Let see my wishlist...

- being an hermit

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

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).
