Yes, but it's kinda different for a 66 year old, I guess many of us at that age will only have a few good years left.

By the way, this isn't to say he hasn't done a load of interesting things in his life, but we'll it's kinda depressing; I shall have to think of something.  :hmm:

Hey, beats just waiting around.  I'd work on my bucket list, but I'm broke ass broke.

The alternative is to draw one up that doesn't involve much money?

For me the issue wouldn't be money anyway, not that I have much, but it the old shortage of really good years left that worries, plus how this time seems to have collided with immovable family commitments/responsibilities.   :hmm:  <_<

Disney's princess thing is pretty annoying though.

My niece really likes it though. 

It's not doing her any favors.

She's four.  And let's be honest, how many of us were pretending to be elves, dwarves, and wizards when we were in fucking highschool?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Damn, my friend is getting real old, real old we were discussing trips today and the conversation strayed into almost bucket list territory. And it was like he meant it.  :(

It helps to think that way even when you're young.

Respectfully disagree.

How many of us here are still pretending to be elves, dwarves, and wizards?

Also, the Disney princess films are of generally high quality. I guess the other stuff sucks (who knows?), but that doesn't affect me.me.

I find the amount of Disney princess porn available on the intrawebs can be very well done at times.

Yeah, whatever happened to hitch-hiking, I did a bit back in my youth, and my mate hitch-hiked across much of Europe, but nowadays, what?
Do people hitch-hikers are potential serial killers/bandits/robbers?

Everybody here is packing a handgun, maybe even a submachine gun.  Fuck that.

Well, I think people largely set it up more in advance as rideshares (global web and what not). My sister did that (and had all the family turn grey) to get herself from Portland to SF and then to Denver. I think she paid something like $30 or so to the various parties.

She had planned to travel in similar fashion all the way out to NYC but my mother put a quick stop to that buy offering to pay for a plane ride, the rest of the way. :D

A Japanese artist who made a kayak modelled on her own vagina has been arrested again in a case that has sparked accusations of censorship.

Megumi Igarashi, who calls herself Rokude Nashiko – offensive slang which loosely translates as "reprobate child" – was arrested in July for trying to raise funds online to pay for the construction of a kayak, using a 3D printer, inspired by her genitals.

She was released days later following a legal appeal and after thousands of people signed a petition demanding her freedom.

But on Wednesday, Igarashi was re-arrested on suspicion of sending a link "that shows her plan to create a boat using three-dimensional obscene data to a large number of people", a Tokyo police spokeswoman told AFP.

She "tried to have those people who were willing to finance her plan download the 3D obscene data" in October last year, the spokeswoman said. Igarashi also allegedly sold CD-Roms containing similar data during a May exhibition in Tokyo.

"I don't believe my vagina is anything obscene," Igarashi said in a press conference in July after her release, adding: "I was determined I would never yield to police power."

Sex toy shop manager Minori Watanabe, 44, was also arrested for "displaying obscene goods in her shop window in collusion with Igarashi" from around October last year until July, police said.

Japan has a notoriously vibrant pornography industry that caters to a vast array of tastes.

However, its obscenity laws still forbid the depiction of actual genitalia, which usually appear censored or pixelated in images and videos.

If convicted of distributing, or holding obscene materials for the purpose of selling, Igarashi could receive up to two years in jail and/or a fine of as much as 2.5m yen ($21,000).
