24 hours left to live
 

i'm watching the simpsons and it's the episode where homer eats the poisonous fish, finds out he's got 24 hours to live, and makes a list of what he wants to do before he dies?

what would you do if you had only 24 hours to live?

i think i would make sure everyone i cared about knew how i felt about them, and maybe left something meaningful for those that were really important to me.

You could do those things tommorrow, Mael.

I would make some calls to loved ones, then head for the coast in a rented convertible. Sit at the ocean with a twelve pack.

I'd go fuck Britney Spears. I would need that if I knew I was gonna be dead in 24 hours.

I would sit in a confy chair and wait... or just take as many people with me as I can.

At first I thought "What a trite question," but upon thinking about it I really don't know what I'd do. There's nothing I'm yearning to do that could fill my last moments. Probably just spend it with my friends and family, doing nothing special. That would be nice, I guess.

I'm honestly not quite sure... though going skydiving comes to mind. Maybe just go nuts for that one day, doing all the stuff that I never had done before, because it was too risky: skydiving, river kayaking, bungee jumping, hang gliding, something like that. Maybe even hit some drugs right before the 24 hours was up, just to see what they would be like? That way I wouldn't have to deal with any bad side effects. But since I'm not in the situation, I'm not sure what I would actually do...

Spend time with my kids.

Write out a makeshift will, wipe my harddrive, get some ass, find a place to die. I considered drinking myself out of my mind to calm my nerves, but that's not for me.

hang out with friends and family, and prepare my goodbyes.... Then.. if I didn't have a S/O and there was someone I liked, I'd let her know. I'd then spend 10 hours with my S/O then the rest with family and friends.

If i didn't ahve a S/O (like now) I'd play video games( and RPGS) until i was getting close.. hey! I'd have a great excuse for losing, "Sorry about losing guys, I'm dying.. i have about 2 hours to live" And knowing me I'd joke about it too. then I'd spend the rest of my hours & minutes with family... keeping the mood happy, so that when i did pass off, the last thing i'd see were cheery faces.

I'd just spend the day with my missus and have dinner with my family. That would be enough, and a very nice way to wrap things up.

There are 5 women I know who would be very sore after I'm dead. :D

You're going to come back as a zombie with a hard-on and have your wicked way with them?

I sure wouldn't waste my time making a list...that would waste time. Probably spend time with my S/O...get her knocked up so I have something to pass on in this world...goto confession(I'm not really religious but who knows, maybe there IS an after life...always good to be prepared). I think the final thing I would want to do is drive a really fast car...not too picky since I probably only have like 2 hours left by then, into something really hard...like an indy car straight into a concrete wall. I don't figure it would be a great way to go but dang that would look sweet on the news!!!

I'd end up dead within three hours.


I do the family and friends thing first then... I'm not sure.

I'd hope there would be a party and lots of girls sucking my dick but that won't happen.

I would try to get a large loan. Then I'd throw a party with all my friends to say goodbye. Then I'd give away all my things (and the loan money) and go for a drive along the blue ridge parkway.

I would say goodbye to the folks and family, and then I think I would acquire a sweet car and drive as much as I could, as fast as I could.

It's a really tough call though. I like to think I would enjoy life instead of moping about it ending in a few hours.

First, I'd talk to my loved ones and explain the situation. Then I'd drive to the nearest forest and take a long hike through the woods, then sit near a lake, think and write. I believe the results on the notepad found near my rotting body would be interesting.

phone and talk to everyone, tell them the situation, and tell them i love them. I'd make a makeshift will, withdraw all the money i have, and walk around the streets giving it to all of the homeless/buskers. I'd probably just walk around some more after i've run out of money. then I'd go and find a lonely beach with some beer and a pack of cigarettes =)

No brainer - throw a party!!!

say goodbye to loved ones.
check my email.
say goodbye to the tfp.
then get side-tracked in the nonsense forum.
realise i've only got a few minutes left.
end up dying on the way to the pub.

Search for a cure ;)

Do lotsa neet stuff.

I'd go drop acid, fuck a hottie and go hang gliding.

Call my sister, and the rest of my family: for less than 10 minute total.

The rest of the time in, on, and around GALAXYGIRL, smiling, laughing, listening, loving and being happy just to be with her.

With about a minute left, I would pray for some more time!, because the clock might be wrong.:D

do the normal routine because this is bliss

i've actually had this kind of thing happen, though i was not given a choice of things to do and, obviously, i beat the odds.

if i could get the $$$ first I would speak with my family and friends, then fly to nevada and fuck my brains out.

Probably spend time with my kids and S/O.
The party idea has appeal but I never like starting something I can't clean up afterwards.

hold my wife and tell her I'll miss her....

I have no idea ... I wish I don't get in that situation knowing I will die within a certain amout of time. That must be horrible!

i'd hijack my sweetheart and take a drive down to mexico... we'd spend the day on the beach and the night in a cantina... the i'd spend the last few hours writing letters to her and my little girl to read when she was older. once i was passed, a viking funeral off the beach in mexico would be pretty damn cool.

First I would charge a shit ton of stuff on my credit card and then I would probably party my ass off.

get a shot gun, go into my school, and kill as many people as i can.

Do a HALO jump without a shute.

This is one of the most thought provoking questions that I'm come across in a long time.
After giving it alot of thought I can say that I have no idea, but I work well under pressure.

I would grab my kids, go to to airport, get on a plane and take them to Disneyland, In California, that is.

OMFG, can't.....type.....laughing.....too.....hard.......

a party sounds good .. with all of my best friends ..

and then off to every single religious center and convert to every religion .. one of em has to have a nice heaven! ^_^

no really .. i'd get on a motorcycle and go 140mph down the road. . say good bye to my friends. . and jump off a high cliff at 23hrs 50minutes

I would start my day with cofee. If I dont then I just go nuerotic. Then I would go to the nearest place with guns. I would buy some old antique weapon like a cz-75 and a Thompson. From there on Im going to jack a Icecream truck. Ill go postal.

I will be the ICECREAM MAN running LITTLE KIDs with my van.

After going pistol I will go on a rampage like that dude in that one movie falling down.

Since Im too lazy to do any of this. Ill just dream about in stead...

I would go to the beach, with my loved one, and watch a final sunrise and sunset. (man I'm gonna cry now)

i'd bitch slap the fuckin' doctor who gave me this lovely information,then kiss the wife and kids goodbye,write my will that would include no burial or cremation,but would read......

"flyman wishes to be eaten by the fuckin' doctor who gave him this lovely fucking news"

"eat me like an oreo doc."

If I had 24 hours to live, I'd probably spend it sedated in the ICU.

My wife, a bottle of bourbon, some cigarettes and the beach.

I like the family and friends thing. But probably want to spend my final hours outside by myself.

I am a little concerned abt how many of you would go on a killing spree. Are you angry with everyone because you are dying or just angry with everyone?

I would indelibly imprint on my brain every single special person, and every generous act that had ever been extended me. I would make a videotape farewell for my son, so that when he reached the age of full reason, he could better understand what I had to say. I would walk and talk with my wife, and finally I would drift off to sleep in her arms, while dreaming of the happiness that I was granted in this life.

I'd sell everything I owned, buy a truckload of various drugs and have a sedated 24 hours...eh, I'm a wuss; if I knew I was dying I would need the drugs to pass the time...

I can't honestly answer this question, becuase I don't know what my actual response would be, seeing as how I've never been in this kind of situation. I know that I probably wouldn't tell anyone that I was going to die within 24 hours though. I would hopefully have the balls to say everything that I've wanted to say to poeple. But other than that I don't know what I would actually do.

light a smoke, run over the ex with a steamroller, steal a Porsche and taunt some cops until we get a car chase

I would go over to the house of a girl that was in my class a few months ago and tell her how I have felt about her since the day I met her.

do it now dude....no sense waitin' eh.

balls to the wall

*she wants you too*

I would go on a killing spree. :eek:

Trust me, the world would be a much better place without the people I want to remove from society.

I looked at all the (positive) responses... Do things you always wanted to do like skydiving, hang-gliding, scuba, telling your loved ones how you feel, spending time with your favourite people at your favourite places...

My own philosophy is that TODAY may be my last.

Carpe Diem.

Mike.

I cant tell if she wants me at all, thats why I havent.

Just go for it dude. Otherwise, you'll be kicking yourself in the ass for not trying.

Max the cards, empty the accounts, (planting is paid for already),. And see what the big money tables are like in Vegas,Just my luck to hit big and die. Ensure alot of exotic dancers will miss me when I'm gone:D

Were there a liberal in the White House, Scalia would need to watch his back. As it stands, I would kiss the kids and send them to the grandparents, then book a cushy room in vegas and take the wife there for some serious monkey business.

i would take allt he people i cant stand with me. HAHA! it would be a fat massacre! lol j/k i dont know, i think i would try a backflip on a dirtbike, or jump grand canyon

Well as many have said, I do not have an answer for this..I guess I would first have to say I dont think I would let anyone know. I think that would just make it all so much harder on everyone. I would also make sure all my things are in order as far as insurances and stuff so that my sons can go on with what I have for them with out any kind of turmoil...then I would try and just live a normal day but be as close to as many of the people that I care about as I can. But I think if family and friends knew you were dying everybody would just be different than they normally would be. When I see a question like this it reminds me of an older movie called D.O.A With dennis Quaid & Meg Ryan its about a guy that is poisoned and has 24 hours to live and spends it trying to find out who killed him..


Besides if I did anything crazy I would be cured and then have to face charges for all the crazy shit I DID...

I guess it depends on how I'm going to die. If I know its going to be a violent or painful death I would probably decide to end it early. If I knew it was gonna be an easy death, then I would max out my credit cards, buy mad junk, try to get as much ass as I could (even if I had to pay for it), and finally I go on all the park rides I've been scared of going on.

I'd run with scissors. I'd also probably play frisbee with my best friend, have a huge BBQ for all my family and friends, shag the wife one last time, and possibly get the threesome I've been thinking about for some time.

I'd keep it simple. Scuba dive as much as I humanly could and in the last hour stay down far to long and enjoy every second of it.

Try out every unsavoury pick-up line that I'm sure wouldn't work anyways.
Heroin (What's it gonna do? Kill me?)
Spend everything I had on luxurious food & wine

punch my girfriend in the face over and over and over again

I would make sure all the people close to me had said everything they need to say to me, and I'd be sure I said everything to them, and make sure they know I love them and that I know they love me. (Whoa, that's convoluted. Basically, make sure there's nothing but love between me and my loved ones when I go.)

Then I'd have sex with ratbastid till we couldn't fuck any more. Then I'd eat a lot of chocolate and talk with ratbastid till the end came.

I will tell my parents thanks, then I will called up this girl and tell her how I really feel about her. Then call my friend up. Then hug my pets. Then sit back and enjoy the show.

I would have to think about that a long time.

Part of me says

sex all 24 hours.
go to the beach with my wife
ammend any loose family issues
play lots of video games.

But I honestly don't know. I like the sex idea.

HELL YEAH!

What a way to go.

And the best part is that's only 20 hours long, so you'd have 4 hours left to spare.

To do.. hmm.. I guess you could watch straight commercials to make up for the ones you missed for the show. Watching commercials would be a really twisted way to go out.

"Can you hear me now?"
DEAD.

I'd spend it all with my wife and my two daughters.

Uh, yeah. That too.

Have you seen the movie 'Scent of a woman'? I think I would do pretty much similar things as Al Pacino's character did before he wanted to commit suicide.

Talk to my friends and family, preferably over an exquisite dinner. Do something i've never done before and just enjoy the last day.

"I tell you what I'd do... two chicks at the same time, man."

"Twins, Basil. Twins."

Like some other people who answered on this thread, I'd have lots of sex to reaffirm THAT part of my lust for life, then hijack a live broadcast somewhere to state a piece of my mind before leaving. If no live broadcast is available, then just a "man-on-the-street"-type video would do. I'd ask anyone on camera what they would do if they had only 24 hours left to live, then tell them not to wait for that moment to happen, 'cuz it's not what it's cracked up to be.

Then, I'd probably panic, then have a steak, calm down and realise that it's all gonna be alright, then tell my parents that I can't believe how fortunate I was to have been raised by them and hope that this life was good enough to deserve ones that are even 1/10th as generous and loving in the next life, whatever that's like, then go to my best friend's grave with some Dr. Pepper and CDs and wait for the end.

Basically, I wouldn't do anything that might have serious repercussions I'd have to deal with if that 24-hour deadline shit was just a joke/test/fluke of some kind. That's right, even in the face of death, I'd play it safe, for whatever it's worth and ask someone to make me laugh right before the end.

As Hermann Hesse once wrote: "Eternity lasts but a moment, just long enough for a joke."

talk to people i carea bout, then go party my ass off

I have rethought my answer over. I pick up a lady and try all the stuff taht sounds wrong. If ladies fail, then hookers it is. Im talking donkey punches, Houdinis, angry dragons, the shocker and all that other stuff that sounds so right and is so wrong.

I truly would be at a crossroad. I wouldn't know what to do. I'd ask my wife she knows everything.

Kill all the enemies

Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go. I wanna be sedated.

So what about the parachutest in the Uk who had the cords cut from his chute and jumped at 13000 ft.That would give you something to think about on the way down.

I'd get a girl drunk and get some :)

I would get all of the cash i have in the bank, put them in an envelope and drive to my girfriends house and dump them in the mail, i would tell her that i love her very deeply.
Then leave, find someplace nice, look at the water, and feel sad for my self.

How sad to really think about it! But, I guess that I'd just be with my wife and child and the rest of my family.

Three words, Grand theft auto. :)

I like the GTA idea with the tanks and the blowing up helicopters but I'd do crazy stuff for 12 of those hours, then freeze myself and spend the other 12 1000 years from now.

Get on a plane to Nevada, go to the Moonlite Bunny Ranch and spend all my money with Airforce Amy, and hopefully die in her arms.

rofl...that's the first thing i'd do. not that i have any kiddy pron on there, but still some weird shit other ppl might not understand.

then i'd spend some time with my mom who i love very much.

then i'd max out all of my credit cards, rent a bad ass ride or get a crotch rocket (always wanted to go 150 mph on a bike on some highway or faster). then have fun with my little brother and my best friend for the rest of the day, provided i don't kill myself on the bike.

edit: oh, and pay a visit to a select few with a .50 cal and buckshot. if i have the time

I'd get drunk and try to fuck as many women as I could.
So basically, I wouldn't change my life at all.

i'm with you gov135, make it a case.
