3 days? is it 3 days like me personally, or like in 3 days the world will end.

in scenario 1 (only im gonna die in 3 days): well first, id lose all sense of remorse, cause it really wouldnt matter. id go 120 on 25 roads, id steal shit, and i would let my hands go where they want...basically, just have a shitload of fun.

in scenario 2 (the world ending): id probably go on a killing spree and see how many people i could take out in the 3 days...not for any reason, but just cause it wouldnt matter....and that plus scenario 1.

Well, for a start I'd actually tell people how much better than them I think I am.

"Excuse me, sir, I've never met you before, but I'm better than you! Ha!"

And if the world were ending, he would say to you: "Well, doesn't matter very much now, does it?"

As sick as it may sound and be, I think I might like that killing spree thing. Death has always been an interesting experience and watching it would be fun. Don't think I would be all that gory though. Speed like a crazy manic while have sex with multiple girls. Then just before the world ended I would jump from a low flying plane with no parachute and die that way. Who knows, maybe the world would end slowly, and who in their right mind wants to die slowly.

If I were to be the only person to die then I would sell everything I have. Have a major sex fest then contact all the people I ever hated in my life and find a way to ruin their lives. Then tell all the people that have positively impacted my life how helpfull they had been. Finally, if my death was to be painfull and/or slow then I would jump of a tall cliff and end my life quickly.

What a totally morbid and fucked up thread this can turn into, hehe

there was an episode of Space: Above and Beyond (damn i loved that show) where the guy said if he had to pick how he was gonna die, it would be going into a black hole while listening to johnny cash. the theory was that time stopped right before he was all the way in the hole, so he could sit there and watch everything forever...

Posted by Lordbrandon on Nov. 30 2000,05:06

go berzerk and kill people, ask your sweet heart to marry? go skydiving? kill a cow with your teeth?

Posted by Blain on Nov. 30 2000,14:11

I’d sit in my room, drink, listen to loud music, and play UT.
Wait, that’s what I do now.

Posted by peregrin on Nov. 30 2000,15:19

it'd be nice if there'd been included an unlimiting factor, such as no consequences to actions, or an infinite amount of cash. in that case to quote the movie "Office Space" i would do "2 chicks at the same time"

Posted by DuSTman on Nov. 30 2000,16:01

For a while now i've kinda wanted a shoulder mounted rail gun. You know, like the gladiator in quake 2.

I'm a pretty damn big dude, so could probably have some impressive weaponry..

I suppose id have to settle with a RPG though, as i don't know where to get a railgun.

Often, walking through the university campus i just imagine myself, with this steaming railgun on my shoulder.. the people running.. screaming.. exploding into a slippery infinity of gore.

Hmm. Mental image...

I don't think I can imagine just going out and killing people. However, I'd probably take an axe to everything I own, just to see it break. Then I'd get all my money, get a plane ticket to a big city, and just walk around having fun. I'd eat a bunch of really good food, look down the side of big buildings, and go in funky hippie shops. I'd make sure to ask chicks to have sex with me, because I only have 3 days to live. I don't know how many would be the compasionate, but it would be nice if I got one or 2. When it was getting close to time, I'd do something crazy to get media attention, and then make a speech about all my oppinions in hopes to make some possitive impact on the world. Then I'd give my short list of "special thanks" and die.

If the world was ending, then I'd just get in a big mosh pit (common, you know there would be one).

if i had 3 days to live i would get every girl i know pregnate. i would make a will so the goverment wouldent take all my money. i would tell my friend elizebeth that i love her (and that she should carry my child) if i could find the olsen twins i would behead them. i would impregnate gorge w bushes wife and a bunch of other pro life women and see wich ones were really pro life. i would gut rush limbaugh and howerd stern, and tie there intestins together in a knot.i would deposit some sperm in a sperm bank (hey everyone should have the smartest strongest most good looking child as possible right?) then on day 2.5 i would find someone to cryogenicly freeze me wile i was still alive. and also i would do a bunch of heirone and speed.

Posted by kuru on Nov. 30 2000,17:04

if i had 3 days to live, i would find everyone i love that i had fought with or maybe they didn't know that i cared.... and tell them.

i'd say all those things that people too often don't say until nobody's around to hear them.

i'd make sure that i'd said goodbyes, then i'd go skydiving one more time. and when the time came, i'd try not to make a damn cryin fool outa myself.

i really don't know what i would do. but i would do something (as many drugs as i could get?). raise alot of hell and then i guess i would die.

what i would do really depends on what comes to mind at the moment, i wouldn't kill anyone as some of you say you would, but i'd like to beat the hell out of a few ppl.

Posted by RenegadeSnark on Nov. 30 2000,20:21

eh, prolly stacks and stacks of drugs, drink bottles and bottles of alcohol and tons of cigs. that way the entire experience would be as diluted as possible.

What most of the people here seem to be saying is that if they knew they were only going to live for a few more days, they would go out and destroy things: themselves, their posessions, their surroundings, other people, etc. I have to say that I disagree completely. If I were going to die I would do my best to put my life in order: talk to all my friends, do anything that I had never gotten a chance to do before but always wanted to, and generally try to make sure that I had some sort of positive impact on the world before I died.

Killing sprees and doing lots of drugs, which are two things lots of people mentioned, are generally fuelled be anger and depression: are you saying that knowing you were going to die would make you angry and destructive? I just don't understand that. Everyone dies eventually. Myself, I would feel at peace knowing that I didn't have to worry about the future and realizing that nothing I could do could change it.

Posted by Lordbrandon on Dec. 01 2000,21:58

the question is not about what the proper thing to do is its about what you would do if there were no consiquences for your actions and if you didnt do it quickly you'd never have the chance. its about doing things you always wanted to do but never got around to or were afraid of the ramifacations.

And if you would use that tiny precious amount of time to pay bills and get someone to feed your dog. Even though thats very responsible its terribly boring and uncreative. I guess thats ok if you just want to fade away, but most people want to leave a mark on the world, they want to say HEY I WAS ALIVE!, and they want people to remember them, and under time constraints killing people fits the bill. We would all like to dicover some sientific mega cure or make an artistic masterpeice but if you dont have the time or the talent.., remembering someone negitively is still remembering them.

Posted by Lordbrandon on Dec. 01 2000,22:02

Let's see...3 days to do whatever I want before I die without any ramifications?

This pits self-control and dignity vs. lust and pleasure. If we're to die, should we neglect the former? For the sake of argument let's say we shouldn't...

In this case, I think I'd attempt the following:

- go to every girl at school I find attractive and hug and kiss them; I would tell them they're wonderful people and extol their good qualities

- go to every friend I have and tell them what I respect about them (and that I'm going to die so they pay attention) and try to make a lasting impact on them

- briefly write out a synopsis of everything that should be done currently and in the future for every organization/club I'm a part of (especially Astronomy and Debate)

- tell my teachers, adult contacts, and everyone else that I'm appreciative of what they've done for me

- tell my family I don't love them, but still care for them and impart on them any knowledge I can that would better their lives

- have a talk with Julie and let her know that she does mean something to me and that I want to spend my last minutes with her, which hopefully will will leave a *very* lasting positive mark on her

- I'd probably go sky-diving if I could arrange it

- If time allowed I would organize all my files on my computers--all the text I've written, all the multimedia I've categorized, all the records I've kept of myself, and so on--and put them on a CD to give to my best friend for save keeping; that way I'd never really die

Without a need to maintain my dignity I would likely let my lust take over...and have sex with as many beautiful women that I could.

oh, i forgot to mention something
i'd hi-hack an F-18 fighter jet, pull mache 3 all the way over to pennsylvania, set it the jet on a course to crash into a building full of people (or a church) and then eject out. id land, then FIND KURU AND TAKE NEKKID PICTURES OF HER!

whoa, i cant believe no one thought of that!

I'd take out a large loan at a bank and buy everything, go everywhere, and do everything I've ever wanted to do.

Talk with everyone I know. Talk to people about how I feel towards them, how I think I know them. I'd tell the truth, I wouldn't try to be sensitive and make white lies to not hurt people, I'd tell them how I really felt.

I'd buy several guns and go shooting them off in a remote area, trying things I've only seen done in movies. I wouldn't kill anyone, because that is just not nice.

I'd experiment with high-explosives, military grade artilary, and other nice things.

I'd do so many things.

I'd try to do everything I've ever said "I'd love to do that!" to. But three days is a very short time.

I'd want to die listening to very loud music of my own choice along with many illegal drugs to dilute the moment...

Posted by Spydir Web on Dec. 04 2000,01:17

Me... First, the moment I found out I'd say "well damn". Right when I left the doctor's office or something, I'd go call up every chick I ever liked, and have a light meal with them, just so I could tell them I liked them, or still do. I'd go off on my parents and sister about how much they've pissed off since I was born, give them the finger, and leave so I'd have atleast 48 hours to do other stuff.

Since I look like I'm over 20, I'd attempt to buy/go places I legally can't (beer, cig's, tittie bars). Not to use the stuff, just to see if I can. I'd throw a "I'm gonna die" party, and invite everyone I know, and if they live really far away I'd pay for them to come with all the money I got from loans from hundards of banks (damned straight!). I'd right out a will, donating anything I have to chairities, and if it can't be donated then sold and the money given to a chairity. Before that though, I'd let a few of my very close friends take a total of 3 things each.

When I died, I'd be blasting Insane Clown Posse's "Witching Hour" at full volume on my stereo, and I'd be baried with everything in my Psychopathic Records stash (ICP, Twiztid, etc... Hey, I'm a big fan ) and my hard drives.

There would be other things I'd do, but those things would be stuff I'd really wanna do.

all this has inspired me it make a company called "So you've got 3 days to live hu?"
it would be like a travel agency but instead of booking a trip to Bali. we would set you up to do everything you've ever wanted to do but never had the guts, in three days. for the small fe of being your sole beneficeary in your will, we will arange things like skydiving, hookers drugs guns explosives spiritual counciling, real sword fighting base jumping, zero gee simulators, phone calls to people you love/hate, swedish massages by high price hookers, bondage equipment, fights with mike tyson, phone calls to famous people youve always wanted to talk to, people to tell you "you are a good person, and the world will be worse off without you"
Then your choice spectacular death. overdosing on drugs, being explodes or shot out of a cannon, a knife fight to the death with 20 wild hungry dogs, being drowned in expensive champange, be decapatated wile having an ogasam. being smotherd to death with huge brests (Or testicles), drowning in ice cold water afrer being pushed off a scale model of the titanic, doom II death match for the ultamate stakes, driving a formula 1 into a brick wall, being sacraficed at a incan temple, WWII and civil war reenacments with real bullets, renacments of death scenes in movies, imagine being thrown into a reactor by darth vader, or lowered into molten steel like terminator, or machine guned down wile eating spageti ala godfather.
you cold do it someware were they interpret the word "law loosely like columbia or nevada. and the deaths would be pay-per-view
and it would also be marketed to people having midlife crisises you'd do all the skydiving and hookers and pay like 30,000.

do i have any investors?

Posted by fatbitch on Dec. 04 2000,04:55

to all the guys who said that they would tell their biggest crush or whatever that they loved them, i disagree

if i had 3 days to live i wouldnt tell my love that i loved her, because she is going to go through life feeling guilty for every relationship she has because she may feel like she is cheating on your memory, if you get what im saying

as tempting as it would be to tell her/him, i would just rather go around sticking my hands up chicks skirts then down their undies. heh

btw, lordbrandon, you have the best imagination i have ever encountered

I'd do stuff that would normally mean death because if I'm going to day in three day's time then I can't die before then can I? Aaaaaaah.

Actually I'f proably just mope around for 70 hours and then think of some shit to do in the last two. Like call some friends so that they always remember me talking to them really weird over the phone. That or immediately get extremely pissed and keep myself awake for the whole three days with caffeine pills.

And I would love to try the chat up line "I have three days to live, do you want me to die knowing you're still a virgin?" You'd get slapped a few times but I'm guessing it would have a one in ten success rating.

To be honest I'd inulge in my true destiny, to live a life of hedonism. I'd rip off a TVR garage for a beast of a car, take out a fat loan and then just wine and dine till I was gone.

And make a video diary of what I do. Get it printed and published after my death and use the money to pay off debts and to give money to friends and family.
cheers

actually.... i have heard from a few people that if you simply walk up to a chick in a bar and say "hey, wanna root?" it has a 1/10 success rating... so maybe yours would take it to 2 or 3 in ten

I agree. Australian's do have a good view on sex, but not as good as Eurpoeans. (depends where in Australia you're talking about though I guess, some places go off!)

As for the actual topic in the thread, I'd have to combine sex, sightseeing and close friends for obvious reasons. 1) sex; Because it's sex. 2) Sightseeing; There's lots of places I've yet to see and lots of things I've yet to do. This is probably my greatest regret. 3) I want to do the former two points with all my closest friends. (NB: Point 1 with my female friends only :-).)

hrm.. 3 days.. where do I begin?

Day 1:

Steal Dads gun. Go to gun store. Kill owner with dads gun. Take sniper rifle, shotgun, uzi, and colt 45.

Go to car dealership. Shoot owner with colt 45. Take his keys and his dodge viper. Get on the highway and max the sucker out, and shoot people that you pass.

Go to a police station and say, "I'll be Back". Run the Viper into the station. Shoot all the police officers.

Go get another dodge viper (and kill the dealer while you are at it). Go pick up some horny/sexy bitches and have mad sex with them. Shoot them. Go get a few more and repeat.

Hrm.. this is a long day. And I have 2 more to go? Wow.

Butt monkey is a Beavis and Butthead term from way back in the day.
Remember when everyone started saying 'cool' again after it was a few years out of style?

saying cool is out of style? maybe i should start checking these things....

well it definately wasn't used in regular conversation. Back before '93, you wouldn't hear many people saying 'that sucks' or 'thats cool'. but _afteR_ b&b it was like a cultural phenomenon.
Maybe you're too young to remember ;]

I tend to disagree with that assessment. I think 'cool' has been one of those words that has transgressed generations nicely. Even the Fonz said cool, and that was back in a 70's TV show depicting the 50's. 'Cool' is a simple word, and it very clearly expresses an idea... that something is... cool... it can be regarded by many in a good light as not being lame.

Beavis and Butthead definitely brought cool back to the forefront, as well as it's lesser-known cousin 'suck'. I don't think it was appropriate to say 'suck' on TV much before B&B... but their repetitive use of it has reduced it's outrageous meaning and brought it to a level where a kid can say it in front of a parent.

I have a nice hitlist of other words I'd like to do the same to.

Oh... your right about the butt monkey thing... hrm... but I was watching Home Alone the other day, and he said, "Families SUCK!" (or "this sucks"... I can't remember)

Is anyone familiar with the term 'arsemage'?

On a different yet relevant note, it seems that most of you guys would spend the 3 last days of your lives coming up with and contemplating new and stupid insults. Smeg heads. ;-)

Anyone familiar with the term "genocide?" Yeah, I'd kill everyone I hate, and their parents, and their dog. Then I'd run around with a 10 gauge spread shotgun and shoot at random things like cops, cars, people, etc. Then I'd rip off a bank and spend it all on getting my fav band to jam with me, and get them to go killing with me. Or something like that. All while I'm pissed drunk, of course. Maybe steal a few Bentley Red classes and fuck them up. Or, I'd fuck it all and do something completely sane. Ha! Yeah, right.

Anyone who doesn't agree can, of course, suck my fucking balls.

If I only had 3 days to live, I would hunt down everyone who ever wronged me, and make them listen to Bon Jovi's new song for 12 hours strait. Then I would tell my kids what I want instead of saying "ask you mother", and then I would have an afair with ch1ckie :-)
