Things that are not even in the same room with my bucket list

 This guy characterizes his flight as insane. He's not wrong.

Wasn't there a kid, maybe 30 years ago, who launched himself in a lawnchair tied to helium balloons, no motor or any of that shit, a BB gun for altitude control?

Much consternation was thrown and I was the only one to think, "What a hero."

George said...

Then again, if I'm going to throw my life into the wind, I want it to be for more than a self worshipping thrill.

Paco said...

Yeah, I think you're right about the kid, and "hero" is definitely the word.

RebeccaH said...

No. Nope. Nuh uh. Not ever. What is wrong with these people?

Paco said...

My worst nightmares almost always involve heights of some kind, so that gives you a pretty good idea as to why this stuff doesn't appeal to me.

I think I read somewhere that there's a fear gene; maybe some folks were born without it. I believe I may have a few extra.

Adrenaline junkies are insane by definition.

Everybody's an adventurer until something goes wrong. Then you're just a splat of raspberry jam on the landscape.
