I wonder if there's some conversational misunderstanding here. Not so much the death itself, but the life before the death?

Ehh, I was just being a jackass, honestly. Reading too much into people's posts - responding to something that wasn't there. Sorry about that.

I do stand by my basic premise there, but it wasn't really applicable to what people were saying in this thread.

I stand 2 blocks from a Methadone clinic most of the day herding their customers towards buses. Not one of them is that well put together.

Eh, I've got some Pennsyltucky roots... I've dated worse.

OTOH, I married much better, I'll take my win and leave.

I'll pass on the boring life. Living is not about marking time or making it to the destination safely. It's about the journey. No guarantees. No mulligans. Make the most of it.

It's not so much trying to die, as not worrying about it. It's not a issue that concerns me much. Like I said, safety third.

When the Good Lord decides my time is up, I'm ready for it.

I haul my kids in a car that only has lap belts and not a single airbag but i think putting them in the trunk of anything is a bit wrong.

Ive been pulled over twice and had to explain ohio law concerning booster seats. None of that matches the "perfect parents" yelling at me randomly at gas stations for not having booster seats. Cars lap belt only in the rear, they are not required but it somehow makes me an animal who doesnt care. Alot of the posts in here make me think of those people.

I used to ride a lot on the "parcel shelf" of my folks whatever sedan.

I as thinking "Amy" but Beer Baron beat me too it.

Any new people who don't know about "Amy" , don't ask.

As a new person who missed the original, at least take a couple minutes to find the explanation thread. Seriously, worth your time, and you'll spend hours digging through the internet archives for a thread you don't even know a name of.

I'm Irish. I want them to lie at my funeral. They sure as hell shouldn't be able to stand.

It was removed at the request of the original poster, whom I have seen make Amy jokes in other threads which makes it an even more awesome inside joke.

I kind of wish that the girlfriend's 64 C10 stepside truck was in running condition so I could legally cruise around town with my 2 month old daughter sitting in my lap.. it came from the factory with only a lap belt for the driver, and that was optional.. I get dirty looks when people see me taking her car seat out of the back seat of my pos 86 Camaro, seeing her ride in my truck would likely cause someone to have a coronary..

I said nothing about a boring life. You are, like I was earlier, responding to something that isn't in the post you replied to. Death is quite different from life is it not?

In reply to dculberson:

Point taken.

I'm hoping for something spectacular, before the lung cancer I'm sure to get from 30 years of smoking provides me a long, lingering, painful, exit. Or worse the Alzheimer's or dememtian that killed my grandfather and grandmother.

In reply to Toyman01:

When I finally get enough time from the life I've made for myself to roam free, I'm coming to your place to buy you a drink and convince you to buy a motorcycle. Maybe a wing suit. Despite our religious differences I'm almost positive we are friends. No homo.

I've already made a concession for my Irish/ Viking funeral. Open bar. I want everyone happy and drunk. Drunk, then they put my lump in a wooden boat, shove me in the water and light me ablaze. I want everyone to reminisce about how much fun they had at my funeral. That will be my legacy.

So you want the "Oderus Urungus" funeral, then..

In reply to Appleseed: I tried to press the +1 button eleventybillion times but it was being fickle.

I don't care what they do with me... But the idea of a flaming arrow into a boat full of explosives is swaying me to write some instructions.

In reply to Huckleberry:

Still a big fan of Dr. Gonzo having his ashes put into fireworks, but hmm.. Fiery exploding boat, that's a good one.

Agreed.

But I find myself wondering if, instead of a flaming boat, I could be cremated and mixed with some half-decent booze. "Allroad-schlager" if you will. So at the open bar party with much hijinks and ladies earning beads I get consumed and live on in all my friends.

Too weird?

I'm 37 this summer, and I still have a "soccer participation" trophy, as well as a bunch of field day ribbons... this stuff isn't new.

In reply to Huckleberry:

I still wander through the motorcycle adds on Craigslist. One day, the right deal, at the right time, for the right bike, will come up and I'll have a DS. A rack for the bike on the front of Sanford, the Samurai and Jet Boat hooked to the back. I could spend a lot of years wandering the country with that rig.

And, you are on for the drink. I'm pretty sure I'll be through your neck of the woods at some point. I'll return the favor.

I will personally attest for dculberson here. Some of the E36 M3 I've seen him drive on a racetrack is essentially like doing a Three Stooges eye poke to the Grim Reaper. Of course, that's when he's racing for teams other than ours... He's far from living in bubble wrap, unless he's ridiculously drunk and using it to sleep in.

In reply to KyAllroad:

Well isn't the rumor that Keith Richards snorted his father's ashes with a line of coke? I don't find it to be any weirder than that

I'm with RevRico on the Hunter S. style funeral though and have already instructed my friends to plan accordingly, should I suffer an untimely death.

Instead of being cremated, go for marinated and grilled. Be the entrée.

So... I've heard that they sometimes use cadavers for crash testing vehicles. I think that'd be fitting use for my shell. I just wish they'd put sunglasses on me "Weekend at Bernie's" style.

My wife isn't so hot about the idea though.
