I proposed this question during a recent dinner with friends. Let’s say that you have been diagnosed with a life-threatening, inoperable disease. You have only three months to live. Assuming that there is an adult version of the “Make a Wish Foundation,” and that money is absolutely no limit, what would you want for this foundation to arrange for you to do before you die? Here’s the obvious addendum: **Nothing illegal.** So no “I want the rarest truffle in all the world” answers, Dale Gribble. \*\*I would want to throw out the first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game. \*\* It doesn’t have to be opening day or anything like that. I just want to do it once. And maybe run the bases. ---

I’d have to take my cue from Ren Hoeg and wish for: -a million dollars -a fridge with a padlock -and oh yeah, HUGE pectoral muscles. ---

I’d like to sit in the Red Sox dugout for a regular-season home game. That’s all, just sitting there would be great. ---

To stick with the theme that is appearing, I’d love to watch a NY Giants game from the sideline. ---

An entire night with two of the most equisite high-priced hookers in the world; the type that only cater to the _most_ wealthy businessmen at $10K an hour. One needs to be asian. ---

> [@Exgineer](#): > > I’d like to sit in the Red Sox dugout for a regular-season home game. That’s all, just sitting there would be great. Bam. I second that wish, my friend. (I’m starting to realize that you and I seem to have a lot in common…) If I can add addemdums to the wish, then I want another season of Futurama made. Yes, within that three month span. Or at least as many episodes as they can make in that span. ---

Sports are stupid. 😃 I think I’d probably want to be able to either: See the Taj Mahal at night, from the inside as well as outside. OR Go hang-gliding. OR Fly a plane. ---

Same for me: First pitch at a Cubs/Dodgers game, watch from the dugouts, etc. I’d also like to see the Taj Mahal before I depart. ---

My first wish would be to spend a day with Prince. Why, I’d probably die right then from the excitement of meeting him. Yes, I lurve him. If that wasn’t possible, then one all-nighter with a fantastic lover, and I’d die happy. ---

I’d like an all out balls to the wall wedding. Poufy, foofy dress, sparkly tiara, champagne fountain, open bar, the works. I was forced into eloping and have always felt cheated as a result. ---

> [@Hal Briston](#): > > So, would the _real_ wish be an all-nighter with Prince? Yes, but seeing how he’s now married and very religious (Jehova’s Witness) I’m sure it’s impossible. So I’d settle for a young hot stud and my Prince CDs playing in the background. ---

Would a cruise missile still be able to guide itself accurately if I was strapped to the warhead wearing goggles? Ah, nevermind… hang gliding would be fun too. ---

Well, I’ve obviously wanted to sit in the first row at the 50 yard line at Mile High Stadium. But they Broncos would probably just disappoint me, and I don’t think I could deal with that. So… A private **Wilco** concert. Just me, my husband, and Wilco. In my living room. Then we’d hang out afterwards and I could just bask in their brilliance.
