So what's on your list of things to do before you die?
I've got a few. I want to visit all 7 continents before I'm 35 (4 down, 3 to go), I want to go skydiving, and I'd really like to make bathtub gin for some reason I have yet to figure out. How about everyone else?

2. Watch the Chicago Bears win another Super Bowl
Watch my granddaughter grow up into a beautiful young woman, spend the rest of my life with Mrs bearfan, love my family as long as I can, make sure electronic vote stealing is stopped, get a 10 point buck, and age graciously with dignity.

10. ....just so ya can do that *Superbowl Shuffle* again eh?
:evilgrin:

http://www.creepyd.com/superbowllyrics.htm


(CHORUS)
We're the Bears Shufflin' Crew.
Shufflin' on down, doin' it for you.
We're so bad we know we're good.
Blowin' your mind like we knew we would.
You know we're just struttin' for fun
Struttin' our stuff for everyone.
We're not here to start no trouble.
We're just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.



:loveya: RIP WALTER! :loveya:

Well, they call me Sweetness,
and I like to dance.
Runnin' the ball is like makin' romance
We've had the goal since training camp
To give Chicago a Super Bowl Champ.
And we're not doing this because we're greedy.
The Bears are doin' it to feed the needy.
We didn't come here to look for trouble,
We just came here to do
The Superbowl Shuffle.


This is Speedy Willie, and I'm world class.
I like runnin', but I love to get the pass.
I practice all day and dance all night,
I got to get ready for the Sunday fight.
Now I'm smooth as a chocolate swirl,
I dance a little funky, so watch me girl.
There's no one here that does it like me,
My Superbowl Shuffle will set you free.


I'm Samurai Mike. I stop 'em cold.
Part of the defense, big and bold.
I've been jammin' for quite a while,
Doin' what's right and settin' the style.
Give me a chance , I'll rock you good,
Nobody messin' in my neighborhood.
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came to do the Superbowl Shuffle.

(CHORUS)

I'm the punky QB, known as McMahon.
When I hit the turf, I've got no plan.
I just throw my body all over the field.
I can't dance, but, I can throw the pill.
I motivate the cats, I like to tease.
I play so cool, I aim to please.
That's why you all got here on the double,
To catch me doin' the Superbowl Shuffle.


I'm mama's boy Otis, one of a kind.
The ladies all love me
For my body and my mind.
I'm slick on the floor as I can be.
But ain't no sucker gonna get past me.
Some guys are jealous
Of my style and class.
That's why some end up on their (bleep).
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just get down to the Superbowl Shuffle.


They say Jimbo is our man.
If he can't do it, I sure can.
This is Steve, and it's no wonder.
I run like lightnin', pass like thunder.
So bring on Atlanta, bring on Dallas.
This is for Mike and Papa Bear Halas.
I'm not here to feather this ruffle,
I just came here to do
The Superbowl Shuffle.


I'm L.A. Mike and I play it cool.
They don't sneak by me 'cause I'm no fool.
I fly on the field and get on down.
Everybody knows I don't mess around.
I can break 'em, shake 'em,
Any time of day.
I like to steal it and make 'em pay.
So please don't try to beat my hustle,
'Cause I'm just here to do
The Superbowl Shuffle.

(CHORUS)

The sackman's comin', I'm your man Dent.
If the quarterback's slow,
He's gonna get bent.
We stop the run, we stop the pass.
I like to dump guys on their (bleep).
We love to play for the world's best fans.
You better start makin'
Your Superbowl plans.
But don't get ready or go to any trouble,
Unless you practice
The Superbowl Shuffle.


It's Gary here, I'm Mr. Clean.
They call me "hit man"
Don't know what they mean.
They throw it long and watch me run.
I'm on my man, one on one.
Buddy's guys cover it down to the bone.
That's why they call us the 46 zone.
Come on everybody, let's scream and yell.
We're goin' to do the Shuffle,
Then ring your bell.


You're lookin' at the Fridge,
I'm the rookie.
I may be large, but I'm no dumb cookie.
You've seen me hit, you've seen me run.
When I kick and pass, we'll have more fun.
I can dance, you will see.
The others, they all learn from me.
I don't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came here to do
The Superbowl Shuffle!

(CHORUS)
(Applause):headbang:

13. yeah, that was fun
I lived in Chicago at the time and I wasn't a Bears fan- then my whole apartment building started shaking wherever a game came on- so I had to get into it. Bear Fans above, below, and across the hall were stomping and cheering!

such as a Nazi. Boy, that would suck.

9. Swimming with dolphins is something everyone should do
You can't be right there with a few and not feel a connection with them. If all those people who don't give a shit about protecting the oceans actually bothered to spend some time with the animals they were hurting . . . things would be quite different. I did it when I went to Hawaii years ago. It was so damn cool.

11. Well something else I would like to do also is
help one of those wildlife refuge places handraise cubs or wolves. I saw a special on Animal Planet once and it was incredible to me. It must be so hard to part with them once they grow.

18. You can swim with dophins in Xcaret, a natural water park in Mexico...
also at Xel Ha. They're both less than an hour from the Cancun airport.

I recommend staying in Playa del carmen. Rent a car. Nice little hotel called Hotel Del Sol.... LOVELY vacation! VIVA LA MEXICO!

The dolphins are kept in natural, humane and kind conditions in amazing lagoons and water spaces. The parks reflect the history of the region and are truly amazing and the best kept secrets in Mexico.

14. Antarctica is the one I'm going to be really working toward
Edited on Sun Jan-23-05 11:46 AM by da_chimperor
There's one company that specializes in trips there. The one I want to do is a month long, 800 KM ski journey across the pole. It's about $50,000 though, and I'd also need to be in perfect physical shape. So I've got my work cut out for me.x(

Edit: Goofed on the facts. it's 800 miles, and takes 2 months.

15. you can do Antarctica WAAAY cheaper than that
Heck, even G.A.P. goes there now. And I don't think it requires any ski-ing. Of course, maybe you WANT to ski so in that case go for it.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

17. Skiing is the point of going all out rather than taking a cruise
I just don't see sitting on a nice cruise ship taking photos of icebergs as really going to Antarctica. Sure, some people aren't able to do more than that, but most of my life is still ahead of me, and I'm going to do it if I can come up with the money.

20. Friend's hubby's been to Antartica twice
for research. Lucky man!!!

I wouldn't mind checking it out, but my big one is Easter Island. I am extremely fascinated by the Moai, and the fact that they face into the island, not out to the sea. They have horseback riding tours, so I would love to do that.

I would also like to write a book before I go. I've just begun to research the logistics or writing, finding a publisher, etc.

22. Become president.
Edited on Sun Jan-23-05 12:41 PM by ZombieNixon
Free Tibet. Win Nobel Peace Prize. Retire as angry crochety old coot. (OK, that last one I can take or leave).

On edit: Actually, I want to free Tibet just so I can have dinner with the Dalai Lama. The Nobel Prize is just icing on the cake.
