Hi Dopers, I’m embarking on an adventure. I am heading into the unknown. Can I have some well wishes, please? I’ll tell you all about it when I get back in a few weeks. Thanks! ---

Be safe, be happy, and (just because _someone_ had to say it) when come back, bring pie. ---

I’m sorry but I need \*way \*more information. I can’t just go sending good luck wishes willy-nilly without details. Who knows how you might be wasting them? Oh OK. Just this once. May whatever gods there be, be with you on your journey. ---

Good luck, be careful, wear clean underwear and bring your towel. When you come back bring pie. I’ve never headed into the unknown. Is that like being in the middle of nowhere? ---

Always remember to sample the local beer and ask after other people’s gardens. Life is just more fun that way. ---

Somehow I read this as: [QUOTE=Kuboydal] Always remember to sample the local beer and ask after **using** other people’s gardens. Life is just more fun that way. [/QUOTE] Which I think is as fine a way to wish someone well on their journey as I’m likely to come up with. ---

You might want to ask _before_ using other people’s gardens. Good luck with your mission, young **araminty**. ---

[QUOTE=SiXSwordS] Somehow I read this as: Which I think is as fine a way to wish someone well on their journey as I’m likely to come up with. [/QUOTE] Much better advice, really. Actions such as this may require greater amounts of luck, however. ---

Be safe. If you can’t be safe, at least have fun. If you can neither be safe nor have fun, at least bring back some really cool scars. ---

[QUOTE=gigi] You might want to ask _before_ using other people’s gardens. [/QUOTE] Consumption of local beer obviates all genteel requirements. (So long as you can run really fast with your pants down!) ---
