Man, why with fire? It's pretty metal, I guess, which is a plus, but that's about the only one that comes to mind.

Seriously though, I want to know why someone would choose to commit suicide with fire (though I'm probably better off not knowing). That's a really horrible, painful way to die.

--- Quote from: A Wet Helmet on 14 Sep 2010, 02:10 ---So my grandfather died Sunday. It's not like it wasn't expected, the doctors gave him two months to live well over a year ago. Almost a month ago they said he wouldn't last two more days. Despite the fact that I am enormously glad he's not suffering anymore, I am sure going to miss him. He was the coolest guy ever. He rode a jet ski every weekend the weather would allow well into his eightees. In fact, he retired from his third career at age 82 or 83 when the doctors told him he wasn't allowed to stand ten hours a day anymore.
He taught me to waterski when I was all of five years old.
He once built rubber band guns for every kid in the entire neighborhood.
He was silly in a way that every time I would watch the Cosby Show as a kid, Dr. Huxtable's antics would make me think of him.
He drank and smoked like he was Don Draper from Mad Men, but didn't have the slightest bit of jerk anywhere in him. The one time he ever got mad at me, it was because I sank a boat. I totally deserved it.
He had a huge collection of Playboy's, that me and my cousin used to swipe.
You couldn't go anywhere in town without running into someone who knew him. Nowhere.
Anyway, I get to pack up my family and fly this weekend so I can bury my grandfather, and it is about the last thing in the world I want to do.

Your grandfather was a fucking badass.
A Wet Helmet:
Yeah. He was. I didn't even scratch the surface of it.
