This is so damn easy. 24 hours to live huh… I’d go do everything I never could do before and it wouldn’t matter cause the whole world is dying. steal a 2000 Dodge Viper GTS from dealership, rob a bank If I see any hot woman, anywhere, I’d grab her ass and tits, and plant a big kiss on her lips. If we’re all dying we may as well go all the way… Best way to do that would be having wild jungle sex on the balcony of Lady Liberty’s torch, overlooking NYC harbor in the midday sun. How damn “liberating” is that!!! Whooohooo! “Bring me your tired, your poor, your horny…” ---

I _was_ gonna save it for something in GQ but a) I was getting too impatient to get it overwith and b) this is as good a thread as any to throw in on. In order of accomplishment: 1. Score a fat Q bag of the best sh\*t my buddy can find on short notice; 2. Raid the Safeway for as many 4-packs of Guinness as I can get in the back seat; 3. 3 or 4 hours of mad monkey jungle lovin’ with Mrs. O, give her the earrings I bought as an anniversary present; 4. sit on the balcony with the proceeds from 1 and 2, imbibe thoroughly while listening to the 3-CD set of Carl Michael Bellman Mrs. O got me for an anniversary present 5. Stand at the last moment, stare oblivion in the face, and laugh like hell. ---

I’d mix up a huge vat of Hamburger Helper and swim in it. You can come over if you want. ---

Well… that’s a benefit of being a Trek fan. I have my Starship ready. Will beam up family and friends, laugh at the end of the world, and move on. ---

I’d probably just eat a steak, fart a lot, and jerk off or something. Er, damn… That’s depressing… I’d definitely have a nice steak. ---

I would drop by my old lover’s place with a few bottles of very good wine…and make the most passionate love until we are exaused, then drink some wine… make some more love…and catch the end of the world from the top of his building ---

Easy question. I’d gather up psycat and our kids, pull out some movies, make a nice dinner and sit around and talk and snuggle. Maybe talk about what we’ll do on the other side. Definitely lots of hugging and kissing. 😉 ---
