[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What if you had only 18 days left to live...?

Posted: 6/18/2002 10:03:49 AM EDT

Watched "Armageddon" again for the umpteened time. After the movie, my friends and I, started talking about what would we do if we knew we were gonna die in eighteen days. To put a spin on it, only our little group would know life would end in eighteen days. Here's what I would do:

No sense in going to work the next day.
Schedule out eighteen things that make me happy and do them one by one.
On the last day, get my friends and my family together for one last barbeque.
Sit back and watch the end of the world with a Jack & Coke in hand.

Do you mean that just you would know that there were only 18 days left or would everybody? If you mean everybody you can forget about the fun family times as there will be world panic, hysteria, and mass eruptions of violence. I would bunker down to wait for the bandits and see how many kills I could get in. I just realized I need more ammo also.
Thanks for reminding me.

The first thought that comes to mind is "what does it matter what I do if I'm going to die in 18 days regardless?"

I just came back from a 7 day cruise through Mexico. Being on a cruise ship when the end comes sounds kinda cool, though. :)

There is no need for you to wait until you have ONLY 18 days to live to do these 3 things.

Actually on second thought I would goto plan b. Bring out the phoenix and put her warp drive engines on line load up all my friends and get the hell out of here.

On second thought and before all hell break loose..

1- I will try to have Israel and palestinians to sign a peace treaty. (I am dreaming)

2- To have ETH and Garandman to kiss and make up.

3- Get a mega size bottle of Viagra and head for the best whore house in the State.

[s]Loadup with weapons and march on DC and finally get things sorted out before our death.[/s]

Hmm. Go to the nearest Naval Base and test drive a hovercraft. Go visit the nearest Air Force base and test drive an F15. (should do this last. [;)])

I'll think of some more stuff...

I would take my family camping in northern Arizona.

I'd do what I do everyday. Go to work, shoot up some ammo, kiss the wife.

My luck, I'd do all the things you guys are talking about, then Bruce willis would save the planet. I'd be in jail for killing assholes, I'd have a bad case of crabs from the whorehouse, and I'd be in debt for the rest of my life.

oh yeah, the family bbq sounds ok.

I was thinking the same thing. I'll be going down to West Coast Toys in SF and "borrowing" one of their Ferrari 550M or a 360 Modena. I don't know how to fly, so taking an F-15 would be an exercise in futility. :)

Pull the cover off of the 250 SWB in the garage and put the hammer down. Then I would put it back under the tarp and wish I hadn't driven it at all, 'cause you never really know if it's going to be lights out or not.

Of course if it's really lights out, well, then the mileage wouldn't matter. It would be time for sex on the hood.

Simple. Bang every chick in sight, spend one last time at the range, get extremely drunk then kiss my ass goodbye.

18 days?? I would start putting my pre-ban uppers on my post-ban lowers. [:D]

Go up to the Catskills and fish all the famous trout streams.
