Top 20 Things To Do Before You Die
20. Dance like no one is watching.
19. Sing like nobody is listening.
18. Live like there is no tomorrow, though I should warn you, this can be self-fulfilling if you're not careful.
17. Get into a lengthy argument about minimalism with an escaped mental patient who thinks he's Louis XIV.
16. Lead a singlong of "Kumbaya" at a biker bar.
15. Eat lutefisk. Or maybe fugu. Or a nice salmon steak, that would be tasty.
14. Make a drunken spectacle of yourself at the wedding of someone you've never met.
13. Have every possible combination of three-way, preferably all during the course of one evening. (If you play your cards right, this could come about as a natural result of #14.)
12. Start to save someone's life, then change your mind and let them die.
11. Host a PBS special.
10. Heckle the keynote speaker at a management seminar.
9. Have a venereal disease named after you.
8. Found a religion.
7. Skinnydip in candiru-infested waters.
6. Multiple orgasms. You might want to do this one a few times, and probably before you do #7.
5. Attend an Ivy League university.
4. Get kicked out of a Gwar concert for disorderly behavior.
3. Urinate on something/someone famous. (See #6)
2. Ether.
And the number one thing to do before you die...
1. Invent immortality.

Beth,
Great article. Great writing. I’m sorry I haven’t hit your blog earlier. I loved your list. Now I’m going to have to put up my own - hope you don’t mind if I pilfer some of your ideas. I particularly love how you started your list: 20. Dance like no one is watching & 19. Sing like nobody is listening. I also like number 10. And number 1. Which reminds me of what Woody Allen said, “I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.”
I also liked your differing points of view article. I love a good conspiracies.
Keep up the good work.
I’m putting a link to your blog on my blogs:
