If you had one hour left to live, what would you do with it?

Take a nap.

Because I am a walking cliche: Sex and food.

Go to the Post office. Let it be their problem.

Cry and scream in terror.

Only an hour? That's not enough time to operationalize Plan B. If I had a day, I've got a list.

Say goodbye and make sure my cats are taken care of, I guess.

Catch up on The Flintstones I missed.

Can I just hijack this thread a minute to bitch about how much I hate the advice to live each day like it's your last? I was totally on the "savor every moment!" kick for awhile after my grandfather died and it was amazingly stressful. I'm working hard to go back to taking things for granted.

Eat eggs benedict.

Sure, sex if I could, but otherwise, I would just eat my face off. Sad isn't it? I guess I'd prolly write some notes for my various loved ones to read once I was gone.

Maybe listen to Larry King read the bible?

Get drunk, then get laid, and listen to music while I did it.

I'd order a pizza and put in The Big Lebowski. The world would probably end before the pizza got here, though.

Ha, goatdog! Too true.

Smoke up a gram and have an hours worth of mindblowing sex, with the express objective of timing it so that I die as I'm coming.

I'd spend it with the mister.

I'd bend all my Wookies, then I'd eat Blowfish sushi.

"Live everyday as if it were your last" heh, I tried that once - can you imagine *how much trouble* it is to organise the funeral, determine what music should be played...

I'd be on the phone a lot, calling my loved ones, friends, ex-loved ones, old friends etc. Write a bunch of letters, do some 'light' organisation as to funeral arrangements and who gets my stuff (no I don't have a will, I'm 24 - I know that I should though). Then, if there's time after or in between, listen to music. My favourite songs. I will feel very bad about choosing between them.

I will be grateful.

i'd call mom.

I'd make a very short video goodbye, then spend the rest with the missus.

posted by mosch 21 January | 15:26

I'd probably be here, drinking whiskey and bitching.

posted by mygothlaundry 21 January | 16:30

I'd flame out in MetaTalk. Why was my post deleted? Where are my ponies! I paid $5 and you owe me!

ha, LarryC beat me to it - the ultimate flame-out on MeTa.
