What would you do if you had 72 hours, $3,000 and one dream?
Discovery Channel is searching nationwide to find America's most imaginative dreamers for a new series called No Opportunity Wasted.
Led by host Phil Keoghan, also seen in the Emmy Award-winning The Amazing Race, NOW is about living each day as if it were your last.
NOW dares you to live out your dreams on national television: We'll clear your personal calendar and give you 72 hours and $3,000 of seed money. That's it. Ultimately it's up to you to think up the ideas and turn them into action. We'll just film it.
Perhaps your dream is to wrestle alligators in the Everglades, or assemble your college football team to settle a 20-year-old score. Or maybe it's to audition for a Broadway show, or hike across the Grand Canyon with your buddy. We all have things we want to do before we die. What are you waiting for?
All you have to do is put your dream into writing by completely filling out our online application and submitting it with a three-minute video by Dec. 31, 2003.
Filming of the show will begin in early 2004; you'll know you've been chosen to "do your dream" when Phil literally shows up on your doorstep or walks into your cubicle at work. Then you'll be in for an adventure of a lifetime — an adventure of your making.
No woulda/coulda/shouldas — live life to the fullest. Apply NOW at

What if I bought $3,000 dollars worth of Tofutti and beer and just spent 72 hours pissing around on ILX?

Dear Discovery Channel,
I would like to rent an excellent hotel room in the carribean for 3 days. Like a penthouse, right, on the top floor, with the big windows and shit. Then my girlfriend and I would like to fill the living room with barbecue sauce, preferably of the mesquite variety, and get some colby jack and a cheese grater, and also a little indian dude to grate the cheese. Then we will roll around in the sauce and fuck more or less constantly for three days with the windows wide open. Meanwhile the little mexican guy is grating cheese all over the place to add flava. Then after a while we go and hang out on the beach and drink really absurd cocktails and vomit on fat people that are trying to sunbathe even though everyone hates them. Is this sounding awesome to you? Because I need new underwear.
Sincerely,

Wait wait wait! This isn't your REAL dream - dude, you don't even know if you want an Indian or a Mexican! Phoney!

well, indian, mexican, whatever. you know. like some guy with a tiny penis. just to grate the cheese. the cheese is for flava.

That is so dangerously close to the Pope-a-Roni story that I don't even know what to say about it.

Okay instead please I would rather like go to Finland okay, and then we hang out in a spa, but nobody else is there, except the little indian, right. And what we do is turn on the steam and fill the place up with Reddi-whip and caramel topping, and then my girlfriend and I sit there and thorw maraschino cherries at each other and try to hit each other in the privates from across the room, right? And we're all covered in caramel and molasses and whipped cream and maybe even chocolate chips and if we run out of cherries the little mexican just opens another jarload and lets us grab handfuls off of this little golden tray. Also there are webcams and everybody can watch us doing this, it's going to be so hot.
Thanks,

In Finland, mexicans/indians are called "Estonians".
