My patience was put to a test recently with the death of a man in this year's running. I suggest you read the article for the important bits like "speared in the lung" and "thrill seekers stay up all night drinking" before running with 1-ton, horned animals.
Surely the Spanish should be judged for this. Hungover while running with bulls? I would probably say this is a no-brainer but then I realized the crucial evidence that convinces me otherwise - dying in this event is a death by goring.
is not so great, akshuly
That has to be the manliest way to go. Shot in a duel? Sounds kinda unnecessary. Drowned by a sea monster? Beowulf didn't - why should you, wuss? But gored to death by a wild animal...this is the essence of the awesome, totally-worth-it death. Millenia may pass but the local registar's office will always have "gored" next to your name in the town death book or whatever.
If only the poor souls who have died most awkwardly (obviously autoerotic asphyxiation) or idiotically could be tagged with a sweet name. O.D. on pills? Nah - dude just got Michael Jacksoned.
But that may not work, either.
Yeah, if you talk to some of the dudes that got Michael Jacksoned I think they'll tell you getting gored isn't as awesome as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteImagine if you got gored AND it was under hilarious circumstances. Like you're impaled on a rhinoceros's horn and each time the rhino tosses your near-dead body around in anger, you let out a fart.
ReplyDeleteI think that would win American's Funniest Home video for like 3 years in a row!
ReplyDeletethat...is the best of all death-worlds.
