Walking outside with your 3-year-old son who thinks you're the coolest man in the world.

 

1. Having your three year old daughter say "I love you Daddy" just before she goes to sleep.

 

Agreed. Being Daddy to a 3 year old. Is the Best.

1. Travelling across Europe during Spring/Summer. Except for all those Balearic islands which teem with British "clubbers".

 

2. Being 18.

 

3. Achieving a goal.

 

4. NYC. Still get a rush when I visit, even for the umpteenth time.

 

5. Being in the right place at the right time.

 

But it's a close call. Comics, in case you weren't aware, are BLOODY GREAT. Reading Preacher 1-66 (just as an example) would give any of those five a run for their money.

If not better than, then at least as good as on their day.

 

Anyone who says sex has to post a picture of the last person they actually did it with (sticky pages don't count). blush.gif

 

i) Playing bridge.

 

ii) Frank Zappa.

 

iii) Alcohol.

 

iv) Gambling.

 

v) Good cinema.

 

Without looking at everyone else's responses:

 

1) Family, esp. my wonderfully affectionate year old daughter

2) Friends

3) Really, really good food (including true NY pizza)

4) The good fortune to live in a country with the freedom to read and do what you want and the prosperity to enjoy these freedoms.

5) A beautiful day.

 

Almost as good as comics: baseball, good movies, muscle cars, good TV

Funny you should mention those apple pancakes. That was my Dad's recipe. When he departed from the navy He joined the cast of the original Pancake House and brought many new recipes with him. ( I guess when you cook for thousands of men on a huge ship for 6 years you have plenty of time to cook) After a few years he sold his recipes and shares to his partners and left the biz for good. Still to this day we visit the old poophead when we want the apple pancakes because He won't give up the recipe until He dies! I have tried and tried to come up with the recipe but I'm missing 1 ingredient and He just laughs and laughs. foreheadslap.gif

 

Any how thanks for bringing it up now I gots to go call and suck up for some Apple Pancakes. 893frustrated.gif

Why is sex absent from everyone's list? Is that what happens when you get married?
