"Alienated-so alien I go!"
Don't they? Although I would have replaced at least one with "attend a prog fest"
"Alienated-so alien I go!"
Most of those would comprise a Things You Couldn't Pay Me To Do list, but that's just me.
Attend a Shuttle launch ?? how old is this list ?? (BYW- ISI,DI,BT, but no t-shirt)

It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973

Not quite geeky, more redneck: Ride the Gravedigger.
A few years ago we drove down from Boston to the Outer Banks, NC. On the way down we pass the garage of the monster truck Gravedigger. We see a sign for rides, so we pull into the lot. No rides that day; the Digger is in the shop. One of these days I will ride the Gravedigger, even if my family has to hire it to be my hearse.

Looking forward to my day in court.
