"He died doing what he loved"

[crusoes]

As opposed to Nelson Rockefeller, who died doing who he loved.

That's how I want to go. Rich, and nailing a blonde.

 

[Mayfly]

I hate, hate, hate that phrase. I love playing with my kid

Me too

RIP, Cap'n Kirk

At least he died doing what he was lousy at.

yeah, the basketball game has gotten a bit rusty with age.

And have never been a very good golfer.

So, in two out of three cases, you'd be right ;)

Have you been violating the Prime Directive, Captain?

let's just say 'Beam Me Up' can have several meanings...

"He died doing what he loved: clutching his chest and gasping for air."

John Entwistle died after a night of hookers and blow. I believe Pete Townshend himself remarked that the Ox was a man who truly died doing what he loved.

Beloved Minister Dies Just As He Lived—Of A Heart Attack

SHADY CORNERS, VT—The people of Shady Corners (pop. 712), a sleepy little town near the Vermont-New Hampshire border, came out in full force Sunday to say goodbye to the man they knew as their pastor, their neighbor and their friend: Rev. Walter Booth.

Though the end was sudden, those who knew him say he died just as he lived—of a massive heart attack.

What about all the other kid motorcyclists who don't die while practicing? They work just as hard and deserve coverage too. It's unfair to not give them a write up just because they live.

 

[Mystery_Meat]

My kid died just as hard as that other kid, where's HIS front-page story?

 

[Zeemer]

So does that mean this was an untimely death?

"He died doing what he loved"

Eatin' it face first into a dirt mountain after flying off the handle bars at 50 mph?

 

[BillyT]

I'm glad they used that headline. The kid would have wanted it that way.

Ace, I really needed that!

Let's play two.

 

[BillyT]

and assists to Meat, Zeemer and Poindexter!

I'm glad they used that headline. The kid would have wanted it that way.

Am I a bad person for laughing at that?

 

[bigbadeagle]

If God strikes me down while putting for eagle with a stripper, then yeah, I died doing what I loved.
How trite has "(Johnny Bum****er) died doing what he loved" become?

 

[Shaggy]

If it helps pops cope with the death of his son, let the mother ****er be. Christ.

"It was the way he would have wanted to go -- without paying."

"He died with his boots on -- and his socks off."


"He was loved by one and all -- just once too often."

 

[MU_was_not_so_hard]

He died the way he lived -- with siphilis.
There's a phrase you don't ever hear.

Saw a story on the local TV news tonight about some kid who was attending college prep school down in the SoCal desert and drove away from school with two friends and slammed into a tree. All three died. The story focused on family and friends remembering the girl, little on the crash, which was described as a "freak accident." No weather issues, but somehow a VW Jetta just slams into a tree? Anybody think tv and print go heavy on the hearts and flowers but back away from stories of irresponsible teens that play a role in their own deaths?
