The reason I'm heckling Amory in my car on the way to a bar is something called the Ulysses Bucket List Challenge.

And it's also why I'm about to be put under.

Okay, so for title I'm thinking something in the spirit of how sometimes even though something's a little scary, you just have to say Bucket.
