Yet another Darwin Award candidate

A place for the discussion of all things not closely related to the sport and its competitive side. (Locked down several times a year during the major championships)

So far... But if I should die from falling down a smokestack after getting the photo (or seeing a view) of a lifetime, or from a rattlesnake bite or mountain lion attack in the wild, or because of a starter who accidentally used a real loaded gun at a meet, at least I'll die smiling, knowing that I died doing something I love. (wink)

Obviously there are even better examples I could use, but gh would probably delete the thread or ban me if I mentioned them, considering that threads like the female pole vaulter thread are routinely deleted... ;)

How about a starter pistol like this:

I think you guys will approve of my death wish - at 100 to be shot by a jealous husband.

Woman mauled by lion while getting nookie in the African bush. Boyfriend escapes wearing only a condom.

"He is a fisherman and he used to meet so often at the same spot with his girlfriend who is now deceased. The unidentified man was naked since it was hot. His girlfriend, Sharai, was a vendor and the two were romping when the incident occurred. In fact, they were 'doing it' sideways. The lion came from behind and roared. The guy managed to escape before stopping at a distant where he witnessed his companion being attacked. He later rushed to the road seeking for help", said another highly placed source.

I wouldn't call this a good candidate for this thread. More like bad luck and something similar to a bear attack here.

I guess you're right. Rather error on the side of bad luck than deciding to go for it in the middle of a lion's lair.

Sounds good.

I have a tattoo on my right shoulder - the Olympic Rings. Got them on my 50th birthday.

On my 100th birthday, if I make it, I plan on crawling, or being wheeled into some tattoo parlor somewhere, and getting a naked woman on my left shoulder. Should be fun. Wish me luck.

Well, it seems like maybe she did choose a boyfriend who opted to run away and leave her with the lion, so maybe this qualifies a little if this story is true.... The fact that the story states that they were doing it sideways, and that she was also known as Mai Desire, makes me wonder if it's legit though...

Sadly this reminds me a little of that old joke we've all heard about the two hikers, with one commenting about the other's decision to wear running shoes in case they encounter a bear... "Ha! You dope. There's no way you can outrun a bear even with those shoes"........"I don't have to outrun the bear.... I only have to outrun you."

What will you do if the tattoo dude has a sense of humor and gives you a tattoo of a naked 100-year-old woman. :)
