buy the ticket, take the ride

(from Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas)
Creating, and being involved in, a situation that may get you in way over your head-- but deciding that turning back would be a rather uninteresting option

When Kenny and Chris realized that they'd invited six uninhibited drunkards to go boating with them for an entire weekend, they briefly reconsidered going at all.

Chris: Oh well-- buy the ticket, take the ride.

Chaw Ride

Pioneered by smokeless tobacco users in Northeast Pennsylvania. A chaw ride consists of: a car full of friends, a full tank of gas, and no particular destination. Participants throw in a big wad of smokeless tobacco and the adventure begins. Chaw Rides can take place anywhere, anytime. Although, their more prominent in the countryside during the fall and winter months because there's nothing else to do in NEPA. Chaw Rides are at least one hour in duration. 80's hair metal is the perfect compliment to any Ride.

I just topped off the Camry with Unleaded. Let's go on a Chaw Ride!

Person A - There's nothing to do in this town.
Person B - Grab a spitter, we'll go on a Chaw Ride.
Person A - Excellent idea.

Tom Marvolo Riddle

I am Lord Voldemort.

Harry: You. You're the Heir of Slytherin. You're Voldemort.

Tom Marvolo Riddle: Surely you didn't think I was going to keep my filthy Muggle father's name? No. I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak, when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world!

Harry: Albus Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world!

Tom Marvolo Riddle: Dumbledore's been driven out of this castle by the mere memory of me!
