Oh, maybe that was the part
you liked, but I didn't cut it out by
mistake.
But since you brought it up, you know one can be direct or indirect in "pissing on someone's fun". Not that anyone here was doing so, but making claims about the importance of ones own form of fun, recreation, or proper use of retirement - all this "MUST see/do before you die" nonsense going around these days, exaggerated claims about how
necessary it is to visit certain exotic places and so on is really just an indirect way of pissing on folks who have fun or make a good life
without doing those things.
Now the kind of bucket list Dave Cutter describes is thoughtful and sensible, but probably not as much fun as going sky diving, hiking to Machu Picchu and such. Seriously, I never imagined people went shopping for suits to wear in their own coffin!
