i'm a prize in a cereal box near you, so buy, BUY,
what are a few things you want to do when you're old?

i want to:
1. curse loudly in public (maybe throw in some esoteric derogatories like quadroon)
2. follow strangers around telling them stories of my youth (half the time just reciting things i saw on tv)
3. go to the park with my kid and make him throw a tennis ball for me to fetch
4. glare at minorities
5. eat tapioca
6. pee in public (whether its on a wall, myself or innocent bystanders doesn't matter)
7. sit on a bench in the post office till they kick me out and make a scene
8. down a bottle of anti freeze filled with green cool aid after yelling "GEUSS WHAT, YOU GET TO SEE AN OLD MAN DIE"...at my grandchildrens school play
9. take up the accordion...
10. dress like saint nick at funerals and give out presents...i'll have to buy newspapers for the obituaries
11. steal batteries...no idea what i would need them for but i'll do it anyway

what about you guys/gals/amorphs?

Some strange ones there.

I'll likely be retired, finished making money and living off what I have already made... in other words, I'll have money for all the drugs that I wouldn't mind trying. I want to holler at beautiful young girls, just because, like a creepy old guy.

I want be able to use "Oh, I forgot" as an excuse for everything I don't want to do.
-Something I tend to use a lot now because people tend be annoying.

1. I want to finally be able to practice a martial art (probably something like taichi) in peace. Maybe I'll go the mountain hermit career ladder and wait for Batman to learn my secret technique.
2. Finally become one of the top players in an MMORPG.
3. Travel around the world and write stuff about said travels.

By old, I'm thinking 80+ years old

1. Develop kleptomania
2. Contradict the recent history lessons of nearby youth with completely inaccurate "memories" of the events. Like "Ah, yes. The BP oil spill. Because of those bastards, the oceans were never purple again.... of course they were purple, what other color would they be?.... that's what they want you to think. They altered films, photographs, even some works of art. We just couldn't bear to be reminded of what we lost."
3. Seriously threaten people with oddly specific bodily harm over minor altercations.
4. Take up nude sunbathing.

By 40 I intend to have my brain in the proverbial jar.

Next I plan to get my brain off world and establish enough infrastructure in space to begin a viable industrial economy.

Finally I nuke you all from high orbit :D

Silly people. When you're old, what you want is to be 21 again. :)

"seriously, why do think really old photographs are black and white? there was a solar flare and the color spread over weeks, started in the yucatan i think"

I want to fantasize that when I was young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

I'll enjoy my life because I'll be at the point where I've secured an existence molded to my nature. And if I haven't, then I'll probably keep trying...and eventually die.

And there's a decent chance that it'll be true (by comparison).

I want to be a comedian. Engaging TI, NE and FE is fun and engages the entire brain for us INTPs. I enjoy vile, Pythonesque sarcasm and irony.
