Get a Prison Pen Pal
Go participate in an amateur kick boxing match
Get involved in crime and then go to jail
Become a smoke jumper
Get some "air" with a rental car
Run with the bulls in Pampalona
Go for a car ride with a lousy driver
Go hunting with Dick Cheney
Cause a power failure
Yell profanity at bikers - then ask if you can join their little club
Throw a tomato into a fan
Play hopscotch...with real scotch
Jump off your roof
Get a job in an office
Find a willing person - saran wrap from the neck down - then duct tape them - see how long it takes for them to get out
Find trees that are close together and jump from tree to tree like Tarzan
Go traveling in a foreign country with no money or credit cards
Try to survive for a week in the wilderness
Do something dangerous with dry ice
Get your riding lawn mower and do donuts on a icy road
Hop a train - even for just a few blocks
Jump off a very high bridge into the river below
Ask a stranger if you can try some of whatever they are eating
Go on a blind date TV Show
Sneak into a golf course in the middle of the night to play golf...using night vision goggles.

Bill:
That list is just great. I definitely suggest "Get a job in an office" for anybody who really, really, really wants to be ready for the next season to start and will be highly motivated to get out on a mountain - any mountain in any condition anwhere and anytime. Locking yourself up in a hermetically sealed box and living life in a corporate cube farm will surely get you ready to rip when the snow flies again.....
I would like to add:
--Try something that scares you. If it scares you badly enough try it at least twice
--Go to a zoo and see a wild animal up close in its enclosure from the same side of the glass the animal is on
--Swim with a polar bear
--Swim with penguins
--Learn to ride a motorcycle
--If you already know how to ride a motorcycle - go ride one, often
--Do something everyday that makes you laugh
--Dance - preferrably in a crowded public place even if there is no music
--Create playlists that enhance the riding experience so your favorite device is loaded and ready to rock when you are
--Create playlists of music you really don't like - then delete that music from your library - no sense in keeping it around anymore - Yanni is never good
--Run through the woods at high speed dodging in between trees and jumping off of everything you can find - this will prepare you for Mount Bohemia where you will do the same thing except in deep powder with skiboards strapped to your feet
--Close your eyes for a few minutes and remember your favorite runs from this season - guaranteed to make you smile and feel better
--Dream of going to Shredfest V - and then make your reservations
--Dream of going to Midwest Meet at Bohemia - and then make your reservations
--Do something nice for a stranger - it makes you feel good and puts a credit in your karma bank
--Share your knowledge of skiboarding with a noob - helps them and puts a credit in your karma bank
--Sleep with your skiboards - they need to feel the loveIn pursuit of Peace, Harmony and Flow.....

Things to avoid:
American beer
New Jersey sushi
Getting drunk and having a "friend" give you a tattoo
Contracting herpes
Church on Sunday. Go on Wednesday. What the hell else are you doing on a Wednesday night? Make sure to talk to and if appropriate hug women that know your mother.
Your friends girlfriends - even if they broke up
Any girl you friends girlfriends say are "cute" but you nor anyone you know has actually seen. If you choose to ignore this advice at least be smart enough to take a large, reflective object with you and only look at her in the reflection.

Things to avoid:
--American beer - how long have you been in Japan? The American beer revolution started a long, long time ago...
--Church on Sunday. Go on Wednesday. What the hell else are you doing on a Wednesday night? ....now that is just plain funny....
More things to avoid:
--Any activity that is likely to lead to you saying "don't taze me bro!"
--Getting drunk and having a friend pierce any of your body parts (I can speak to that from personal experience)
--Situations that make you give up on your dreams
--People that bring you down
--Mean dogs
--Mean people
--Mean people walking mean dogs
--Mean dogs walking mean people
--People who ask you when you are going to be able to ski on grown-up skis
--Throwing up in your own car
--Wearing shoes that make your feet hurt
--Wearing ski boots that make your feet hurt
--Wearing underwear that gives you a wedgie
--Wearing itchy clothesIn pursuit of Peace, Harmony and Flow.....

I know some great sushi restaurants in Jersey. It's sushi restaurants in land locked states that you have to worry about.
Herpes, the gift that keeps on giving.
Wednesday nights are for open mics and jamming.
Under arrest…see below.

How much air is considered "air?"
Hunting with the former vice president is a terrible idea. FACE SHOT
Power failure…check!
Instead of a tomato, how about a huge clump if toilet paper soaked with water and thrown into an open from metal bladed fan?
Hopscotch with real scotch…That's like drunken kickball
Jumping off your roof into a pool?
Traveling with no money, eh? Does getting mugged count?
Make sure you film asking the stranger if you can try some. Especially if they let you.
