If you only had 24 hours to live...

Aliantha · 08-27-2008, 06:58 PM

would you spend it reading Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy?

Although it might be fun, I don't think I'd spend mine that way.

How would you spend your last day alive?

DanaC · 08-27-2008, 07:56 PM

Crying?

regular.joe · 08-27-2008, 08:01 PM

I figure any given day I only have 24 hours to live. I don't worry too much about it. My life is very full.

Sheldonrs · 08-27-2008, 09:01 PM

First I'd call all the people I care about and tell them I love them and thank them for loving me. Then I'd take whatever money I have left in the bank and rent the cutest guy advertising on craigslist for "massage" and bang him til one of us was dead.

for the Inbound Asteroid scenario: gather a bunch of friends and have a 'watch party' with mucho booze and other comestibles.

for the Brain Anurysm scenario: turn gay for Sheldon.

edit: either way, I aint cleaning the m____f___ing house...

I like all these ideas!

But I would like to tell those I love how much they mean to me. It is something I try to do IRL, but I think sometimes I can't say it enough!

24 hours can't undo 48 years of habit. :-)

I don't know...have you met Brianna? She can make a grown man cry, she can make a dead man come.

SamIam · 08-28-2008, 12:48 PM

I would drive out to a beautiful, secluded spot I know on the Colorado river, pitch a tent, and spend my final hours watching the pelicans and the other water birds, and swimming with the huge brown trout there.

Oh, and I'd tell my kitties that I love them and find a good home for them before I left.

I also might travel to DC and assasinate the most digusting politician I can find. (So many choices, so little time)

I'd buy a lottery ticket because the '24 hours to live' thing would practically ensure I'd win the jackpot, and then I'd hire the fastest jet I could get to fly west, thereby increasing my lifespan. At least until I ran out of stuff to do on the jet, or fuel, whichever came first.

DanaC · 08-28-2008, 01:56 PM

As well as crying, I'd probably spend a lot of that 24 hours cuddling Pilau and kissing his nose.

I'd probably take 5 minutes to tell a colleague about the clients I'm turning over to him. Probably.

I'd call two friends to thank them for the good times and say adios.

I'd tell my parents and sister we're having a pool party this afternoon, bring the steaks and beer.

I'd spend the morning playing soccer with my boys.

I'd play one last game with the adults.

I'd wrap the evening up with the wife and kids.

I'd put the kids to sleep one last time just so I can listen to them breathe.

I'd curse while having to throw the ball to the dog.

I'd keep the bed rockin with Mrs L until I fell over dead.
