1) Remove a bullet from my wounded shoulder, then drop it into a tin cup. Maybe cauterize it with a hot poker.
2) I need a volunteer to die in my arms. I’ll go to your funeral, scheduled on a rainy day, of course. Go into self-imposed seclusion and grow a long beard.
3) Be coaxed out of self-imposed retirement for “one last job”.

4) Walk away in slow motion as Michael Bay in a Ford Pinto filled with nitroglycerine, C4, and Taco Bell chili-cheese burritos explodes behind you?
5) Hot wire a turbocharged llama and take it for a joy ride down Pennsylvania Ave?
6) Mildly tease John Wick's dog enough to make it annoyed but not enough to do any lasting harm?

11) Stay in Tulloch Castle in Dingwall, Scotland. Request Room 8. Take the ghost tour. Say you want to hear all the gory details about that room. Stay up all night with the lights out.

I once wrote a time-travel story in which everything the protagonist did made no substantive difference in history.
He went back in time and killed baby Hitler. And WWII and all that horror still happened, just with some other guy leading the way. Ganked baby Genghis Khan--Mongol conquests still obliterated millions of lives. Thought smaller, and knee-capped John Wilkes Booth on his way to the theater--the only change in the history books was the cosmetic details of the assassination.
The title was THE DIFFERENCE ONE PERSON CAN MAKE.
I was a depressing teenager...
heh... sounds like a pretty good story, though.

The idea was better than the execution. But hey, I was 15. All of my ideas were better than the execution--and most of my ideas were terrible. Just terrible.
26) Go back in time. Infiltrate the Doctor Who writer's room; load the writers up on LSD, shrooms, good whisky, and Jelly Babies; convince them that The Doctor's 4th incarnation should be portrayed by a whimsical, sarcastic puppet of a monkey with either Tom Baker or Diana Rigg as Monkey Doctor's companion.
I might actually watch a Dr. Who that was written in that manner.

Gloryhammer's entire repertoire can pretty much be summed up by, "A sci-fi story written by a bunch of 15-year-old boys and then set to a heavy metal soundtrack."
And Gloryhammer is awesome...

Yes, they are!

Amen!
I never heard them.
Not surprising considering I'm not really into metal anymore.

27) Go back in time to 1971. Derail the first networked thread ever started with an unrelated side-observation.
28) Go back in time to 1440. Derail the first European printed book as it was being typeset on Gutenberg's press. Maybe with some gratuitous Simpsons' reference.
29) Go back in time to 15,000 BCE. Derail the first Lascaux cave painting with a pun-laden rules discussion about overland travel of aurochs.

30) See the Kentucky Derby. Wear a white linen suit and sip a mint julep.
31) A trip to Chicago. One of my favorite paintings (Nighthawks by Edward Hopper) is hanging at the Art Institute of Chicago. Also, I want to attend a taping of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me and see a Cubs game.
