  Hmmm, I'll need some time to think of a proper Bucket List ... but here's what happens when you put metal in the microwave ... shit shorts out.  I accidentally put an Arby's wrapper in there (well, the sandwich was IN it, lol) ... it started to catch fire but I caught it first.  Otherwise, yeah, the thing can catch fire, blow fuses, basically fry.  It's interesting if nothing else ... doesn't smell too good though.  Now, I've got 25 minutes left of work ... no way I can concentrate long enough to make a proper list ... so I'll be back I think.

• starchini said on Feb 20, 2009....

  lol, thats where my curiousity came in hege, ive done it by accident like you have but i always caught it in time.  I wonder what the effects are if you leave it in there...im sure its not quite as amazing as my imagination thinks it is.  Id still like to see : )  Cant wait to see ya again : )

  Omigosh! I am still typing my emo post, and just had to check my users if you posted something LOL...you sooo funny :D
  
  well...i share a lot on your bucket list for under-achievers  and have experienced already  some of them hihihihi...but i need to finish my post lol so i would only type my memory from looooong ago...have been wanting to blog about with the title : flipping burgers... lol
  
  ...when i was in high school, college was an ever present topic and college students an ever fascinating subjects ...and one of the many things that college students did was work part time (I think it is different in the Philippines whereas in the US a high school student already works part time, I rarely came across in my time - gah, feel ancient saying that, lol of part time working high schooler..s)...
  
  ...AND it was - in my time! -  so hip to work as a part-time student in McDonalds! lol
  
  ...so as soon as first semester in college was survived, I spent the summer trying to get a job in a fast food restaurant....nada... got two rejections in a row...DEPRESSING lol.....
  
  .....fate landed me a job in the national theater of our country (Cultural Center of the Philippines...)....not long after....
  
  ....BUT...the rejection stung..and although the 4 years in the theater were the most fabulous time of my life (I worked in Front of House, behind production etc) ...I still wanted to have an experience of flipping burgers!
  
  ...after college, worked in television a year, then left home country and spend half a year in UAE working in adverstising....then life brought me to Germany, where..........tadah!!! I fulfilled my dream of flipping burgers *beams* LOL
  
  .. 3 months McDonalds ; ) in the north city of Germany, called .......Hamburg LOL!
  
  *feeling fulfilled*
  
  papery~
  
  
  
  

• starchini said on Feb 20, 2009....

  Oh paper!  You are so gosh darned cute!  Im relieved im not the only weirdo that always wanted to flip burgers!  : )  I always heard people complaining about how much it sucked.  That was why i wanted to try, so often things people hate i love.  Free burgers and fries whenever i want?!  Such a relaxed atmosphere!  Counting change!  I love counting change : )  I can see it now:  "Thank you for choosing McDonalds may I take your order?"   ...blah blah blah "That 2 number twos, mayo on one, no ketchup on the other, two large fries, a reg diet coke and a large mountain dew"....blah blah..."That'll $12.62 please pull around to the first window"

  hehehehehe...

• PAPERBACKWRITER said on Feb 20, 2009....

  
  ...another one LOL...i want to wash dishes in NYC..in a chic restaurant of course ;) ...LOLLLLLLLLLLLL...
  
  ...i know, i know ...i always told my two younger brothers  (who rolled their eyes when i told them, i would one day travel Europe :D ) .... we shared a room while growing up until i move out and left the country with 21....that all i wanted was to get an insider experience of all fascinating jobs (at least for me fascinating) before i became famous, so i will forever remain grounded and humbled *bows graciously* hahahahah
  
  [waves at Hege] schönen Feierabend (literally: good time after work!), Pisces sistah!
  
  
  
  

• uniquely-ironic said on Feb 20, 2009....

  don't wish to break your leg, it's not fun.  Been there, did that.  Well, the morphine was fun, but the surgery, PT and pain weren't.
   
  I'm plannig to do some indoor skydiving.
  Ride the world's longest zip line.
   
   
  I've done a number of the things on your list.  Some on purpose even ;)

• MsStar39 said on Feb 20, 2009....

  I have always wanted to be a fast food cook at a place like Denny's,
  I became a nurse instead, now I am a florist but I bought a grill and pretend that I am doing my fast food at home crazy i know.
  

• Hegemone said on Feb 20, 2009....

  OK, now that I'm at home and not work ... I can think properly and put down my Bucket List.
  
  
  1. Ride my horse
  2. Tell my dad exactly what I think of him, how he's made me feel over the years and what I think he could have done to solve his problems but was too stubborn or closed minded to try ... without fear of repercussions.
  3. Work at a zoo for a week
  4. Walk through a store and break stuff if I feel like it
  5. Own a brand stinking new car
  6. Have a top of the line computer complete with any games I want, the fastest internet possible and all the fun gadgets to go with
  7. Help demolish a house
  8. Travel from country to country and make one friend at each place
  9. Get a bag of chips and pick out all of the ones with the most "stuff" on them and only eat those
  10. Bitch slap somebody without consequences
  11. Put a snob in her place when I see her turn her nose up at something she shouldn't
  12. Get rid of everything I own (except for the sentimental stuff) and start fresh (with the money to do it of course)
  13. Have a giant pool turned into a ball pit (like at Chuck E Cheese's)
  14. Fart in response to a stupid question from my boss and NOT catch hell or embarrassment for it
  15. Swim in another giant pool filled with Skittles
  16. Tell anybody and everybody in the government what shitheads they are when they make me mad
  17. Poop on top of an enemy's car
  18. Do whatever I wanted for a week straight ... no going to work unless I want to ... no chores unless I want to ... no talking to people unless I want to ... eat what I want when I want ... only be entertained and interested.
      
  
  I think that's good for now ...
  

• BurnedOut said on Feb 20, 2009....

  Star...you are aware that sticking a fork in an electrical socket and petting a shark can never happily?  lol 
   
  Well, my fuck-it list is:
  1.  Skydiving
  2.  Hiring a female wrestler to body slam my MIL....and FIL
  3.  Name a star
  4.  Write and record my music and have it played thru the airwaves.
  5.  Have sex in an airplane, be a member of the mile-high club
   
   
   
   
   

• starchini said on Feb 20, 2009....

  Oh paper, too funny!  Ive actually washed dishes at a restaurant before, but it wasnt a very fancy one : P ...  I hated it!  I worked their for the 3 longest days of my life.  I am so not meant to be a laborer.  It was sooo humid and hot and i got all sweaty and sticky.  Loading all the nasty crusty dishes in this ginormous machine that gets like a thousand degrees, steam rolling out everywhere.  It was really my worst nightmare : P 

  lol uni, i had a good time when i broke my wrist.  I got to wear a cast and everyone signed it and could smash thing like potato chips in the bag with the cast.  It was lots of fun.  Imagine what i could smash with a cast on my leg!  lol...Plus, usually when ya break a leg it comes with a really cool story.  How did you break your leg?  I never thought how indoor skydiving would be.  The zip line thing would be cool! 

  msstar, hey do what ya gotta do!  Im a pretend waitress sometimes with phil.  i always liked waitressing so when i cook for him i go into waitressing mode, bringing him his food asking if he needs anything else.  lol...

  Hege, I want to do number 3, 4, 7, 12, 13, 15 and a' course number 18!  Good list i approve : P 

• starchini said on Feb 20, 2009....

  haha Mr. Burns...I gotta see!  Ive always been told to never stick metal in outlets, i really wanna do it!  Ive never had the balls as of yet.  But to be honest i kinda like getting electorcuted, its such a surprise!  You never expect it!  It never feels how you think it will!  Like touching a 5 volt battery to your tongue, oh my gosh that is such a cool feeling!  I once picked up a power cord from a puddle not realizing it was plugged in, it zapped me pretty damn good.  I couldnt help but put it back and do it again.  Then i went around and handed it to co-workers, hehe...id like to do everything on your list too!  Id love to body slam your inlaws : P  hahaha..

• uniquely-ironic said on Feb 20, 2009....

  which time?  I've broken my ankle (technically part of the leg) and my femur (seperate incident).  Both times on the mat, both times excruciating pain.  And yes, the casts are good for smashing things and people if they get in the way.

• cuppajava said on Feb 20, 2009....

  I couldnt really keepa straight face reading your list - or any of the others.....I have done afew of the things on your list by the way -definitely not pain free !!! especially breaking a leg! I did a bucket list of my own and posted it a while back - but i have a month to my surgery - i am not sure how much of your list i would be able to do in that time - but i could sure try!
  There is definitely some stuff in there that is fatal though !
  

• woman said on Feb 20, 2009....

  Well Star, I've got a much shorter span of time left to check off items on a Bucket List and I've had a lot more time to reach goals, so this will probably be shorter. Here goes.

  1.See the Grand Canyon. ( I can't believe I haven't done this!)

  2.Finish my father's biography.

  3.Publish a book of poetry.

  5.See my grandchildren grow up.

  6.Live for an extended time somewhere warm by the ocean.

  7.Get another piercing on my left ear. (Hey, that's as wild as I can go!!)

  8.Have a love affair with a sweet talking man. (Ok. Maybe I can be wilder)

• mobil said on Feb 20, 2009....

  Your list had me laughing Star, some weird shit on there haha. At this point in my life I think the only thing on my bucket list would be;
   
  Live another 25 years in good health and die painlessly in my sleep.

• starchini said on Feb 20, 2009....

  uni, a mat, as in a wrestling mat?  Coool, i had no idea you were a wrestler : ) 

  cuppa im glad i could make your face crooked from all the way over here : )  Maybe you could hold a "slow" sign at a construction site before your surgery (im praying that goes well).  Ill save the more fatal things to do at the end of the list  hehe...

  woman, very good list, very "practical" im sure youll get all of them done : )  Ill keep my eye out for a sweet talking man : ) 

  mobil, ill admit it, i am pretty weird : )  thats a good goal to have, im sure itll happen for ya : )  I too would like to die painlessly, maybe not in my sleep though, something exciting and fatal.  Something that ill enjoy until BAM lights out.  Like, falling from the leaning tower of pizza.  Free falling would be really exhilerating and when i hit the ground, id be liquified, so it would be painless : ) 

   

   

• uniquely-ironic said on Feb 20, 2009....

  No, a dojo mat, martial arts.  The first time I got thrown a little too hard, the second time a very big man landed on top of me.

• KathQuiet said on Feb 20, 2009....

  Oh let's see...the other bucket list, in no particular order but numbered because that's how I am:
   
  1.  Re-pierce my navel:  it oughta be interesting on a size 20!
  2.  Try some Ripple:  how I grew up in the neighborhood I did without so doing is kind of amazing.
  3.  Get an entry in the Red Bull Soap Box Derby:  hey, we could do one called Ripple Rumble or how about the Big Momma Bomba!
  4.  Participate in a pig-calling contest: soouuuuuu-whee!
  5.  Participate in a belching contest:  this would be after a beer-chuggin' contest, of course.
  6.  Dye my hair platinum blonde, put on a leopard catsuit (yes size 20) and red spike heels and visit a local VFW and count the pickups while hubby is in the lav. LOLOLOL

  -actually officially go drifting in a car

• starchini said on Feb 23, 2009....

  Uni-  How did I not know that about you!?  Very cool!  No one can put uni in a box!  Did you make the giant cry for crushing you?

  KathQuiet- Dont believe ive seen you around these parts!  : )  Welcome and thanks so much for commenting!  I too used to have my belly button pierced, i was thinner in those days and i had a girlfriend of mine do it, it became more and more crooked as i entered my size 20 phase : )  I ended up taking it out, but id sure like to do that again too!  And im still a size 20...ok...21...  : /  ... oh goodness your list makes me giggle!  Add all those on to my list too!  Sooo much fun...I gotta ask though, what in the heck is a ripple? 

  Queenie!  Have you seen a microwave explode?!  That would be sooo cool!  I might have to pull an "office space" move and go all "mythbusters" and take the micro out to some deserted field and put on some srmory and plug it into mother nature to test it.  hehe...If i do any of it i will surely update!  lol, i got really close once to jumping onto a moving train.  It was in NM, a train slows waaaay down by my g-ma's house and i was sooo close to jumping on it while it was still moving but my momma busted me and gave me a lecture about me ending up in santa fe and id be lost forever, i was only ten years old or so.  : > 

  Me myself!  That would be sooo much fun! I love floating down rivers!  I too have always wanted to do a whole river : )  The sailing thing, that sounds way fun too : ) 

  Creative, do you ride bulls?  If not, your nuts!  Welcome to the club : ) But if you do, thats a very cool and ambitious goal : )  I have never flashed my boobs.  Ive always wanted to!  Thats added to my list.  Ill go to mardi gras with you and w can do it together!  I  cant believe youve never jumped on a trampoline!  So much fun, you totally have got to do that one!  Your so much fun! 

  Woman, lol, im game for some flashing!  I hear those plastic beads are worth money, incentive?  I think so : )  lol...two-jundred beads for a whole 3 cents!

  Stoney- yea no particular order was thought of, they just came to me : )  Your right, ill most likely have to put get hit by a car and jump of a building towards the end : )  Live to be over a thousand years old is quite an ambitious thing to do!  I thought i said no ambitiousness here!  lol...spend a year at each island : P  You silly goose! may as well put find the fountain of youth on your list, cuz your gonna need it!  : >

  Fraggles!  wow, im surprised at you!  I have shot guns thousands of times, atleast once a week i shoot guns.  I have gone skinny dipping,  i have tp and egged a house, and i dont even claim to be a bad ass! lol..ive pulled a fire alarm and i have lit many farts : P  Ive told numerous people that their breath stinks and ive spent the night and a few haunted houses, well, rumoured to be haunted : )  Id say you definitly gotta get those things checked of your list!  You could pull a fire alarm today!  Yes, yes you could.  DO IT!  But have an escape plan ready cuz i hear that a felony these days. 

  Scip, im super careful of what i wish for : )  None of these are wishes, just "to do" lists : ) no harm in that right?  : P

  Invisible!  I love your list!  everything on your list i want to do too!  Except "go see him"  I dont know him so that one is all you girl : )  I have done one of the things on your list, i have drifted a semi in my car before.  It was when gas spiked, i was doing all kinds of crazy things to conserve fuel.  I got right up on a bumper of a semi doing 70 miles per hour...sooo exhilerating : ) I didnt do it for long though, only a few miles, i realized that he had no idea i was back there and could just feel karma nipping at my heels, i got the feeling he was gonna break at any  moment and i woulda been a goner. It was fun though : ) 

   

   

• uniquely-ironic said on Feb 23, 2009....

  no, I made him take care of my ass after surgery.  wait on me hand and foot.  If I had to guess, I'd say that was worse punishment.

• starchini said on Feb 23, 2009....

  Yea i agree uni, id rather get a beat down than have to be someone slave..

• KathQuiet said on Mar 06, 2009....

  Starchini, you don't know Ripple?  Oh my.  You're sheltered!  Or, not in the States...here, in any poor neighborhood, and many that aren't but host hoboes and the like, there are these horrible little liquor stores that specialize in cheap swill.  Ripple is just one of the products you'll find in these places.  It's supposed to be wine-like and a butt-kicker.  Friends in high school (I grew up in inner-city Denver) tried it, but I shied away and stuck with the "better" product, Boone's Farm, a line of fruit-flavored wines that taste like soft drinks.  So, I need to catch what I missed! 

• starchini said on Mar 09, 2009....

  LoL,  Kath,  im just from a small town in Nebraska.  Im well travelled though, so i just must not have picked up that lingo.  I sure as hell do know what boones farm is though! lol, ive also never heard the term, "swill".  So Ripple is just ghetto cheap alcohol?
