Getting right to the point:
PAST: The term “rebellious teenager” is sort of redundant, when you get right down to it. It’s probably safe to assume that you made a nuisance of yourself more than once during those years. Tell us about the most memorable stunt you pulled. It’s okay, I’m sure the statute of limitations has run out by now.
PRESENT: You can’t have completely lost your desire to do absurd and silly things. Fantasize for a moment (but not too long) about a silly stunt you wish you could get away with today. Yes, this very day. And then, of course, share your fantasy with the world.
FUTURE: Hauling more cliches out of the closet we have the phrase “going out in a blaze of glory.” You’re 110 years old, give or take a couple of decades. Having made the solemn decree that you will go out with a bang instead of a whimper, what crazy scheme have you come up with to make your entrance to the afterlife the stuff of legend?
I’d like to thank Lilith for her list of seed ideas, from which I picked this week’s concept. If you have some seed ideas to share, let me know via the email link right there below the duck logo. Remember, if you answer these on your website, please leave a comment so people can find ’em. And when you link to Past, Present, Future please use this URL: http://greyduck.net/ppf/
Thank you!
(update: my answers are in the comments. so there.)

Huurah! For Lilith!! Those were awesome questions. I hadn’t thought about some of those things in a long time and now I’m left smiling my head off.
Okay, here you go:
Past – I ran away from home. (Yes, that’s as bad as I got. Sad, really.) To be precise, I walked away. For almost an entire day. In the summer. Down a two-lane highway. Martyrdom is so unbecoming, wouldn’t you say?
Present – Let’s see. A non-sexual fantasy? Hmm. I’d make up a batch of flyers with various free-thinking slogans and what-not, then make paper airplanes out of ’em, go to the top of one of the downtown office buildings and let them fly in various directions.
Future – The details would need working out, but probably something involving the land speed record and explosive substances.
oh yea.. explosive boom boom endings.
dammit if that leaflet one isn’t very very tempting… hmmm.
All done! I am enjoying these.
Past: As a college orientation stunt, I managed to become responsible for shutting down an entire concourse at the Minnesapolis-St. Paul airport. It involved a velvet jumpsuit, several friends in white robes, and a basket full of rose petal. The rest is classified….
Present: I’d love to be able to do the same thing again, but post-9.11, it would likely leave me with a prison term.
Future: The doctors pull me off life support, and stuff me into an ’83 Cadillac DeVille stuff with full gasoline canisters. The car is towed out onto a tarmac, and my survivors ceremoniously roll several grenades under it. *Voila*, Jack *flambe*!!
Mine are up.
There’s nothing at all wrong with following blonde-headed shepherdesses…
OK, mine is done – i am so speedy *grin*
…And I’m so slow.. will get to it after lunch..in an hour or so…
By the way, i certainly hope the originator will be posting his answers soon (hint hint)
*nudge nudge* We’re waiting Little Grey Duck *grin*
