Ever get the fleeting urge to jump from a high place?
  • Beer taps

    I want to pull fire alarms too.

    My most consistent temptation (when at a bar, anyway) is to knock all the beer taps open, not to actually drink the beer but just to see it all cascading down in a glorious beer fountain. Like the Bellagio, only in reverse.

    I also want to grab food off of people's plates when I walk past restaurants with patio dining, like grab a burger and take one big bite then put it back, and walk away (or probably run away.)

    There is a fantastic Japanese film called "Tampopo" which I highly recommend everyone to anyone who likes to eat (not the dreaded "foodies" but just people who like to eat). The best vignette in the film is a scene with a little old lady running through a grocery store poking her thumbs into everything squishy: soft fruits, cheeses, pastries, everything. Glorious!
