    If you have a good quote, you should use it if it adds to the story. It was the person's words about their loved one. Even though it may not be the best words from the sister, it still fits within the context of the drunk driving story, not well, but it does.

    You may be right but that doesn't mean the quote was taken out of context.

    I like Ace's explanation better. :)

    I kind of got a kick out of the picture that accompanies the story. Look at that rumdum next to the memorial. I just picture him thinking " hey look! I'm gonna be in da paper. I'm gonna be downright famous".

    Leave him alone. He's got a bad hangover.

    That's got to be one of the stupidest cliches out there. No one dies doing what they love. Unless you really love bleeding to death or not breathing or being blown up, it's just not fucking true.

    Some people's kids.

    What about people who die during erotic asphyxiation?

    They make George Carlin proud to be alive.

    What if they were by themselves. Then I think Michael Hutchence would be to differ.

    Still, he didn't die having sex. He died having a heart attack. The relations caused the heart attack, which killed him.
