Dragonslaying; something we need more of.

Its not an adventure without a chance of failure, and the bigger and more devastating the chance of failure, the bigger adventure it turns out to be.

Its healthy too, because a person has to be willing to fail once in a while, cause at some point you WILL fail, and what then? Better to fail early and learn how to deal with it, make it good, make it something that comes back to you, than spend your whole life avoiding failure and everything else.

I just keep thinking, the more stuff I have to fall back on the more likely I am to approach things as an adventure, but failure is less extreme. Theres a trade off there between euphoria and anxiety.

I have adventures all the time. I don't know what you guys are up to.

the amount aftermarket farkles* available for the klr is bordering on ridiculous.  you can easily spend more modding the bike than you spent on it to begin with.  one could take that to mean boundless customizability** -or- maybe you should've bought a different bike.

*farkles: i hate this term, but that's the nomenclature, dude.

**customizability: i'm not sure if this is a word - but i can't think of another word that means what this one does.

This.

There's probably tons of shit in your own back yard that you've never seen or noticed before.  Go find it.

The best way to get into an adventure has been touched upon but not explicitly said:  redefine adventure.

Also, props on The Corinthian avatar.

Yeah!

Have you ever snuck out in the middle of the night and stealthily filled a friend's hot tub with baby dolls?

Well, neither have I! Now we all have something to do next.

i was recently in a hot tub related adventure.

So was I, but until we have a porn sub I can't talk about it.

Thank ye kindly. I'm hoping to inspire some mayhem in my town soon, and hopefully I can find the adventure I crave in that.

rong: That thread you posted was great, it kept me busy all afternoon. I actually read the whole thing up to the "fag club" stuff in Tokyo. Makes me want to take a trip like that.

[The Wizard]

Fag club in Tokyo?

Fag club in Tokyo?

Some people are homophobic and it turns me off. But this thread /isn't about that/, this is about ADVENTURE, and I thought it (the biking around the world on a chopper) was a cool adventure story overall. 

[The Wizard]

Now I gotcha. Traveling the world is a good adventure, one of the few that can be enjoyed fairly easily. Glad you're enjoying the thread by the way.

Step 1: Bring sword into zoo.
Step 2: Climb into elephant (or, for bonus points, shark) habitat.
Step 3: (attempt to) Slay Dragon.

This is probably illegal everywhere except Somalia and Afganistan, but it won't matter because there won't be anything left to prosecute.
