Precipice! I just love that word. PRECIPICE.

On the subject of the ubiquitous LiveJournal "memes", paka said: You know, if everyone I knew jumped off a cliff, I might be too busy following to notice.

So here's a new meme!

Pick your favorite precipice! If your friends all jumped off a high place...

1. Where? Bridge? Cliff? Roof? Airplane? Any specific place?



2. How? The classic swan dive? In a car, like Thelma & Louise? Or are you gonna wimp out with a Bungee cord or a hang glider?



3. When? Day or night? Quietly, or will you wait for the media and the helicopters?



4. Soundtrack?


Be creative! Bonus points for scenic photos!

My answers...

1. Where? Bridge? Cliff? Roof? Airplane? Any specific place?

Bixby Bridge, Big Sur, California.

An absolutely spectacular locale from any angle -- but you only really grasp how HIGH it is when you see it from the a boat off the coast. Which I did, several times, in my Coast Guard days.


2. How? The classic swan dive? In a car, like Thelma & Louise? Or are you gonna wimp out with a Bungee cord or a hang glider?

The Thelma & Louise route, definitely -- if I could find a convenient Reynolds Ramp as a launch point.


3. When? Day or night? Quietly, or will you wait for the media and the helicopters?

Right at sunset.


4. Soundtrack?

Meat Loaf. "Bat Out Of Hell". Naturally.

And no, I have no inclination to go driving off a bridge in the immediate future. Lighten up!

Thanks, I'll just sprout wings on the way down. ;)

I dunno. Thanks to Lost Boys, every time I past the old railroad bridge (now a pedestrian bridge) near the wharf, in Santa Cruz, I have this urge to climb over the side, hang from it for a bit, then jump down. Then, presumably, go to Las Palmas across the way and get burritos. I've been too smart to try doing this, so far.
