best way to die.

[GilaMinumBeer]

Unfortunately, movies always destroy us first, so I have to be prepared for it.

Oh. You meant extra terrestrial invasion.

The other alien. My mistake.

 

[Airborneguy]

Hey, this isn't the Debate Forum, my thinking wasn't going in that direction! You slipped that one past me.

 

[curlyfat]

Bull. Best way to die is during consensual sex with a hot chick. Everyone knows that.

Why did you feel it necessary to quantify that with "consensual"? Is that unusual for you?

 

[SnallygasterBrewery]

I hadn't really planned on dying, but now that you mention it I suppose I should give it some thought before it shows up.

Drowning in beer,sounds like the flies on joe cartoon. "ooooh,my f'n head...I'm so wasted...."!Die? Death it is! but 1st...ugu!!

This is what the OP was talking about:

323,000 Imperial gallons (almost 388,000 US gallons). That's a lot of beer...

I've decided a few years ago what the best way to die would be:

1) Get a full cowboy outfit, horse and a 12in shotgun
2) Rent a boat and take it out to the middle of Lake Tahoe (mofo is deep)
3) Climb up on that horse, let it get a good running start, and jump that thing over the railing
4) Before hitting the water, shoot the horse in the back of the head (provides a lot of weight)
5) Hold your cowboy hat up with one hand and hold tight to the reigns with the other
6) Ride that sonofabitch all the way to the bottom. YEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAW!


Sorry, you can lock the thread now because I win

Reminds me of the old twilight zone episode where slim pickens did that on a nuke into space....BUT FIRST,UGU!!!

That's if the horse actually jumps. If not he may stop and flip you off, trip on the railing and fall on you. Your legs get caught in its reins and you slowly sink to the bottom. Thus making a possible epic death look like a silly mistake.

 

[Airborneguy]

But why would you do that? That's just a fancy and dramatic suicide.

I'm gonna live to be 300. Seriously. Here's why:

• All deaths are caused by lack of oxygen to the brain. But, it's very rare that the source of the brain's demise is inside the head. It's usually something starting below the neck.
• The body, below the neck, is a life support system for the brain. So when one of the myriad things happen to the body (i.e., heart attack), the brain's support is cut off. The brain dies, and you are dead. So....
• I'll build a box, on top of which will just be my head. Get rid of that troublesome body.
• The box will contain a pump and a semi-permeable membrane through which essential elements and gasses can be passed to my blood while it is pumped to and from my head.
• I figure my head can last at least 300 years this way. On the box.

Uh, you mean "Dr. Strangelove"?

Or, "How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb"?

 

[SnallygasterBrewery]

^ That's immediately what I thought of, too.

 

[elpenoso]

Whaaat? Were these people already drunk? I dont see that happening Im calling bull****. The vat would have to be thousands and thousands of gallons (possibly millions) to flood the streets for any given amount of time. Highly unlikley.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

"A parachute not opening... that's a way to die.

Getting caught in the gears of a combine...

having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go!"

I'm not sure but there seems to be hesitation:

You need to read the whole thread. It DID happen. The Tanks held a total of 388000 US gallons.

I really don't care how I go. I just don't want to keep hanging on by a thread having my meals fed to me through a straw and wondering where my family is. When my quality of life goes, I want to go.

If you're ever climbing the eiffel tower, there is a plaque memorializing this failed attempt to fly ( . The plaque states that "he died of fright before he hit the ground".

Same here. In fact, SWMBO have it in our Will to not pursue life support options. Don't want to be a drain on the family and our daughter totally understands.

That's the french translation of "soiled undies just before impact"
