60 Things Worth Shortening Your Life For

From Esquire.

1. Danger dogs.
The Tijuana delicacy -- a hot dog wrapped in bacon, fried, and topped with mayo -- has made its way to San Diego and Los Angeles, sold from carts outside stadiums, clubs, and wherever hungry drunks congregate. See also:

7. Bullfighting school at the California Academy of Tauromaquia.
One of the only (legal) bullfighting schools in the country. Someone's getting wounded in this battle. Hopefully, it's the bull.

12. Punching Barry Bonds in the face.

~snip~

23. Mountain biking in Moab, Utah.
Possible dehydration, heatstroke, and disorientation. Probably the most inspiring panorama you'll ever see.

29. Playing tackle football past the age of 25.

~snip~

37. Speaking truth to power.

~snip~

40. Attending a Glasgow Rangers versus Glasgow Celtic soccer match.
Preferably in the Scottish Cup final. Imagine: Red Sox versus Yankees, if the ALCS involved sectarian hatred, hooligan rioting, and the occasional death threat.

47. The Krispy Kreme burger at the Gateway Grizzlies ballpark concession stand in St. Louis.
A bacon cheeseburger with glazed doughnuts in place of a bun. A thousand-plus calories. Minor league gimmick; major league angina. $4.50.

49-59. The 18-Hour Vegas Vacation.

For each activity, multiply the time spent by 100 and subtract the total from your life expectancy. Repeat twice annually until death.

 Sunning (sans sunscreen) to a robust burn while marinating in premium tequila after dozing off at the pool: 1 Hour

 Chain-smoking unfiltered Kamel Reds to intimidate fellow poker players: 2 1/2 Hours

 Agonizing over minor scoring fluctuations in a meaningless NBA game: 2 1/2 Hours

 Devouring hare stuffed with duck confit and foie-gras-and-blood sauce at Guy Savoy, not to mention the 12 other courses: 4 Hours

 Watching Cirque du Soleil's Love, at the Mirage. (No life sacrificed, just dignity): 1 1/2 Hours

 Impersonating Nick Nolte with a bottle of Grey Goose at Tryst at the Wynn: 1 Hour

 Wandering downtown in search of the Four Queens, one of only two Vegas casinos that still offer single-deck, 3-2 payoff, dealer-stays-soft-17 blackjack: 1/2 Hour

 Talking shit to strangers with unplaceable accents at the table while alternating caffeinated and alcoholic drinks in ten-minute intervals: 3 1/4 Hours

 Threatening to exact bloody revenge on the firstborn child of a stingy dealer: 1/2 Hour

 Touching Brandie when it "feels rights" at Crazy Horse Too: 1 Hour (Ten Songs)

 "Date" with suspiciously underdressed woman sitting alone at the hotel bar: 1 Hour (Okay, 15 Minutes)

Check 'em all out, at the link, and ponder if they are right for you.

8 - Butter - I like butter (in food anyway, not by itself). Isn't it better for you than Margarine or some kind of "spread"?:)

Few of those appeal to me. My preferred ways of shortening my life span are taking walks by myself in the city, moshing, and eating way too much sugar. :)

[color=white] and the occasional edge-play.[/color]

Ha! Haaa! I prefer to try anything at least once. (that can't be healthy)

Now what's edge-play? *google-google*

They were gonna put me on that list....but I said...."Dudes.... Is it really worth shortening your life over? Cuz I would consider putting me on that list to be 'fucking with me.' " They immediately saw the oozing gobs of good sense that that made and left me off the list.

See- I am on the ball........cuz that's how I roll?

*sorry*
Forget you read that everyone?
