What's the one thing in your life that you regret the most not doing?


Mine, I regret not taking part in the Paris–Dakar rally, that would have been some adventure.  :cool:

And since it no longer exists as a race in Africa, I think it's safe to say it's passed me by.  :D

Not asking out Melody back in 1997. :(
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

Breaking up with a girl because she got a really bad perm.

The more I think about it I'd have to say I definitely regret not taking part in the Paris-Dakar, even if it had meant mortgaging a house at the time.

Reading up on the 1st and 2nd races back in 1979/80, two french brothers came 5th and then 3rd driving a Renault 4 !!   :cool:




In 1981 they got more professional and won it driving a Renault 20.

Your life must be a constant disappointment.

I misread it as socks; which I guess is similarly as exciting.

You could travel now with more money.

Retiring in 2004. I hate the civilian work force.

I did not know of the race, but now that I do I regret you not doing it as well. That would be awesome!

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
