You really want to have fun? Go up in an open cockpit aircraft. I had the pleasure of being allowed to take the controls and fly a Waco biplane around Mount Desert Isle (Bar Harbor) Maine.
Wifey and I were on vacation and there was a company at Bar Harbor airport that gave biplane flights. Since I let her order a custom made ring from one of the shops in Southport, she told me to indulge myself. I mentioned to the owner of the company that I was a student pilot, he said that he would have his pilot put the stick in the front cockpit. Once we were airborne, he gave me a few tasks to do to see if I knew enough to fly the plane. He had full instrumentation in front of him; all I had in front of me was an airspeed indicator and an altimeter.
He told me to do a climbing two minute left turn at 30 degrees angle of bank, then he had be do a descending two minute turn to the right at the same angle. I executed both, then he said "okay, you can fly her... if you want to take pics, let me know an I'll take the controls". At one point, we did a few aerobatics.. it was awesome! He let me fly the aircraft back to the airport all up to the final approach for landing, where he took the controls because the Waco didn't have flaps like the Cessna 172 I fly at home.
Once we were on the ground, he asked me if I had my log book, as he was a certified flight instructor and would give me credit for the flight. I did not, but my name is in their computer system. We went back to Bar Harbor the following year, but the three days we were there it rained and they were not open.

When I was pretty young, my insane uncle took me up in his old crop duster which he thought was a stunt plane. Scared the absolute **** out of me. Surprised that plane didn't kill him. He's still insane but not allowed to fly anymore. Lol

My wife's cousin posted videos from the Miley Cyrus concert in Nola. Madonna did it and was great at it. This little chick makes it a grotesque and vile display of total garbage. Maybe it's just because I don't think she's attractive but I threw up in my mouth a little. Miley and Marilyn Manson should tour together and the crowd should all get puppies to kill. I thought for a while that she was pulling off the shock factor really well but she's trying way too hard and it just comes out ridiculous.
