Now HERE'S a good suicide!!!

I have no time for fuckers who go out on a building or bridge and tie up traffic for a couple hours in a plea for attention. Or teenage girls who try to OD on Flinstones vitamins. If you're gonna kill yourself, be a man. Do it right. Shoot yourself in the heart or brain. Actually jump off that bridge. Hide along the freeway and jump in front of a semi. I think if it ever came to it, I could do that. But this guy...

No fuckin' WAY I'm gonna get a couple hundred feet of rope, tie one end to a light pole and the other end to my neck, roll down the window and start the car.

To qualify as a real BAMF, he should've used razor wire instead of rope!

Meh. I always figured that if I was going to off myself, I'd just go to the beach and swim out into the ocean until I couldn't swim any more. Glub glub.

drowning?!? no fucking way. For me, it's abottle of sleeping pills mixed in with my favorite ice cream. Put on dvd with some sexy guy and I'm off to dreamland ...

A friend of Mrs. Spider did exactly this about four years ago. I figured he thought he was trying to horizontally hang himself, but grossly miscalculated.

IIRC, everyone found out when a couple of children happened upon his severed head.

I don't think I have it in me to commit suicide- it's too much like quitting. If I were going to though, I'm thinking either a bottle of pills and a bottle of whiskey, or take a BFG out in the woods and turn myself into bear food.

My plan, should I ever need to use it, is to dump bleach + ammonia into the toilet. Should be quick and foolproof. IMHO since suicide is such a selfish choice it should be done in such a way that it is minimally traumatizing. Another good way to go is inside an ER. What's another body bag to them right.

Actually, death by chlorine gas is very nasty and hurts like a bitch.

Did I say it wasn't/wouldn't?

Firend of ours with serious depression issues decided to off herself once. She got in her car and drove south, intending to go until the gas tank was dry, and wherever that was, she'ddo it. Her car konked out somewhere in Virginia. She checked into a motel, and took a whooooole bottle of.... mild anti-anxiety pills.

She woke up two days later and called her parents to come get her.

Dude, you have at your disposal exotic vehicles with which you may exit this realm in a most spectacular fashion, announced by a roiling pillar of burning aviation fuel to mark the moment in a Viking-like manner.

Just aim it someplace where it either won't hurt anybody, or it'll do some good.

Yeah. Chlorine gas is pretty damn traumatizing. You'd be found with your body all contorted in agony and likely some sort of horrid frozen scream of pain on your face. Not to mention that in your closed-up bathroom full of deadly gas, whoever found you first would probably get a nice lung full as well.

Oh, and let's not forget the blood coming out of your mouth and nose from your ruined lungs.

Oh. No I meant in a numbers sort of way. E.g. not parking your car in front of a train or the example Volpone used of jumping off a bridge into traffic.

I don't think the Libertarian in him would let him destroy his employer's property to commit suicide.

Sounds like a Saturday morning to me.

Marso, you're a good and dear friend and I hope you NEVER, EVER do such a thing, but if you ever decide to commt suicide by aircraft, for God's sake have the decency to aim the damned thing at a housing project.

Do some good and help out the taxpayers in your final moments.

Who knows; maybe you'll get 72 virgins for it.

If he ever does that, I'm thinking there's no better target that Westerboro Baptist "Church" - 11 AM, Sunday Morning.

If we're gonna lose a good man like Marso, might as well get rid of Phelps in the process.

My idea is better.

^ That'll work too.

WRONG

The ER staff get really upset when they lose a person - to the point that they have to grief counselors on site to care for them.

I'd prefer a self inflicted gunshot to the heart. At least they could have a viewing that way. Can't imagine an open casket viewing when you have a hole in your head. There's only so much the mortician can do to pretty you up.

Suicide?

Fake your own death, collect the insurance money and retire to Cuba.

What an odd way of killing ones self. Extra points for ingenuity?

I'd be more impressed if he did it without the car, you know just running away at a brisk pace. Of course it really would've made a statement if he used a row boat.

I have to admit, it is a cool way to off one's self. Creativity and mess each get points. IN this case, a lot of points.

Some other idiot did this a year or so ago in UK. Copycat takes off a few points.

Heheheh. Reminds me of that old, old episode of "South Park", where the shop teacher decides he's going to kill himself, so he lays down on the table saw conveyer, feet first. After a few seconds, he's like "Jesus, what was I thinking!? That would'a hurt like hell!" and turns around so his head will be the first thing to hit the saw.

Didn't some guy do this not too long ago when his wife won alimony in a divorce case?

It can be done. I fixed them a number of times back when I was in the business. Plaster of Paris and wax are your friends.

I worked freelance for different funeral homes. Repairing trauma and gunshot wounds were some of my specialties.

Oh, man, one of my grandmother's ex-boyfriends did that.

Totally works. Better than a shot to the head.
The head is totally overrated.
Heart, guaranteed death, instant, they can't fix it.

So, in your expert opinion, if you did (not that you would) but if you did, how would you do it?
