Dick's Bucket List

For ordinary people, death is an inevitability that we mostly expect will come many, many years down the road. For spontaneously daredevil-ish cultural icon Dick Bill, death is a daily probability. Having recognized this fact during a four-minute bout with sobriety May 30, Dick made the inspired decision to write his Bucket List: a list of 10 things one wants to do before one “kicks the bucket” (dies). Unable to find a pen, Dick promptly excused the task and went to the bar. At 2 a.m., May 31, Dick managed to secure a pen from a bartender, but was too drunk to write legibly. Eventually, at 6 a.m. of May 31, a slurring Dick Bill dictated his list via telephone to Recoil, pausing briefly to puke (ironically, into a bucket) between roughly every other item. Pictured below is Dick Bill’s Bucket List.
