Suicide Is Painless, Unless You Screw It Up



Believe it or not, suicide isn't always a lot of fun. It can tear apart families and scar loved ones for years to come, fortunately you'll be too dead to care! These days there are so many ways to off oneself that it's not always easy to keep abreast of the hot new trends in felo-de-se.

Even those of us who aren't (currently) suicidal harbor thoughts of self-destruction, it's as natural as jerkin' it with a plastic bag over your head while you sit on a cattle prod. But what would be the most befitting way for you to shuffle loose the mortal coil? Everyone has had their own opinions dating back to 1942 when suicide was invented by young wordsmith William Shakespeare. His early visions of Ophelia's relaxing soak in the creek and Romeo's power-nap set the tone for the future of the game. Since then quitters the world over have expanded on these simple methods and thrown in their own special flair. So if you had a good run and were ready to call it a life how would you want to do the deed?

I'll go ahead and kick off the draft with my first selection: Making friends with the ground!



As usual, we've got some rules. Follow them or your death may not be so optional.

1. You may not draft jump off of the bridge at Cornell, because that's totally played out
2. Draft one method of death at a time
3. Wait a full ten picks in between draft picks
4. UPDATE: Must be PLAUSIBLE methods. Fucked to death by Angelina Jolie ain't happenin', pal.



If you are honestly suicidal you probably shouldn't partake in this exercise or watch pre-season football.

  4. I think there's a certain elegance in lighting some candles, throwing on "It'll End In Tears," crafting an eloquent note, stripping naked and then swallowing a bullet while hunched over on the crapper.

  6. I'm packing an SUV with explosives and then driving it into the dead middle of the Joe Louis Arena during a Red Wings game. When I get to the faceoff circle, I'm detonating.

    Because if I'm going out I'm taking a whole lot of you hockeytown douchebags with me.

    Asshole blocking the box at the Holland Tunnel? Bam. Douchebag turning left from the right lane? Bam. Fucknut driving 65 in the left lane? Bam, bam, backup, bam.

    If I made it out of there, I'd head into the city for a little game I'd like to call Yellow Cab Derby. Eventually, I'd get plugged by New York's Angriest.

  72. I would climb to the top of a very large metropolitan building during rush hour. Attached to my back would be 40 foot bungie cord. Attached to my neck would be a 35 foot noose made of steel cable. I would Get an Erection by watching the 2006/2007 Rex Grossman highlight film. I would then pull my cock out of my pants. Then i'd super glue my hands to my face similar to Macauly Caulkin in homealone. I'd then jump off the building. When i hit the 35 foot mark the steel cable would decapitate me leaving my lifeless corpse bungie jumping while performing felatio on myself.

    ReplyDelete
  88. To clarify, I think rocking myself to death would work best were I to stick my head inside an amp and have someone rock out until my brain turned to mush. Also whoa whoa Calvin uncool. You just stole that from bash.org, for shame. Also I can't spell shame, it kept coming out as sgame.

  90. @ calvin - so if you're watching the rex grossman highlight film to get a chubby, then you're a colts fan, right?

    OK...I'm piggybacking on a few others here, but here's something I've always wanted to do that'll probably get me killed -

    I'm breaking into an army base and stealing a tank. Then I'm driving it around for maximum carnage until they finally get me.

    And there's only 2 ways to stop a guy driving a tank.
    1. Blow it the fuck up.
    2. Wait until the dumbass gets it stuck and then open hatch.

    When the latter happens, I'm pulling the pin on a grenade while inside.
