That sounds like the kind of sentence my Grandfather might have said lol.

Life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease. I'll just take mine as it comes.

Is it a lesson in opposites? These are all so vicious so to die slowly would be better?

I choose hypothermia. To lie down in the snow and fall asleep I hear isn't so bad. Although who came back to report the ease of it?

I didn't see the "Being fucked to death by Jessica Alba" option, so I took the slow diseased route. Can you make sure that gets into the next poll, LJ? I'm pretty sure all the guys, and probably even some of the ladies, would take that one. Um hum.

I like the Pihrrahas option.

Rah Has!! That sounds like fun, whatever it is.
:p

Wolves

And I wouldn't be going alone.

And you left pie off the list.

Shark, cause there would probably be some amount of drowning involved and that would speed it up. You also wouldn't see it coming. So there would be a moment of terrified panic and confusion, followed by a brief fight and then giving up.

Burnt at the stake would be by far the worst.

I vote for being screwed to death by the Victoria Secret models.

SamIam · 08-03-2008, 04:28 PM

None would be my choice, so I picked lion by default. It seems to me that I read somewhere that they usually break the neck of their prey first. That would probably be fairly painless as such things go. Plus, I am an avid feline fan from Felis sylvestrus to Felis concolor and all brands inbetween. So, I would be giving a furry friend a needed snack, and a part of me would continue on as a snow leopard or something.

BTW, why wasn't there a shredded by dinoaurs option?

A few years ago I read a book of true stories about people being attacked by various animals. A doctor wrote about his experience when he was bitten by a rattlesnake. It was not pleasant and he was seriously close to death for several days (or longer, I don't remember). Here's one story about a kid bitten on the hand by a rattlesnake.

Quote:

...I spent the next 35 days in the UC Davis hospital, had 8 surgeries performed for cleaning out the dead tissue from my arm, and finally had a skin graft from my leg to close up my arm, which had remained open for 30 days after the fasciotomy until the skin graft surgery. That is 10 surgeries in total at UC Davis....

The story also includes photographs, which are pretty graphic.

Here's a better article from a man who survived a rattlesnake bite, complete with details of the physical sensations and effects.

It's OLD news. I am afflicted with Crohn's Disease, as is our Dar512. It won't kill me by itself, but the side effects and concurrent infections, weight loss and organ failure suck ass.

I want to go like John Entwhistle of "the Who"

With enough coke in me to stun a horse after being shagged by a blonde 28 year old hooker

At least I'd be giving a good meal to a charismatic animal as I went, it shouldn't take terribly long, and it would be a great story for the family to tell the future generations ...

Always so altruistic. ZenGum, the gift that keeps on giving.

I'm going for the snake, fast but not so fast, and better than slow.
