Your last day

[tomd]

If it was going to be your last day on earth tomorrow, what would you spend it doing?
Ive asked around 30 people so far, some people answering very similar to one another. Be clear it is only your last day, nobody else is aware and everybody else in the world will live on.

The fastest answer i've got so far was "i'd start killing people".

 

[Mr. Tea]

Oh, the predictable stuff, you know: contact my nearest and dearest, ring some friends and relatives I haven't spoken to for ages, put my affairs in order and spend one last night of passion with my girlfriend before spiritually preparing myself for the End.

Or I might just run around Trafalgar square stark naked, biting the heads off pigeons and masturbating furiously while cackling with insane glee.

It's your last day alive, why not try something different for a change?

Well I've tried to vary my daily routine from time to time, but I get no end of hassle about it from your mum.

 

[bnek]

im not sure id do anything different to be honest, it depends on the weather. if it was a pleasant day id probably go to a nice park and relax. otherwise id stay in and listen to music. if it was a weekday id take the day off work. i doubt id tell anybody i was about to die either.

Watch. Listen. Feel. Attend carefully. What else is worth doing?

 

[noel emits]

Drugs. Lots of drugs. And laughing.

 

[swears]

I'd have a bag of those BBQ flavour Doritos, not tried them yet.

 

[noel emits]

I can recommend the Sainsbury's value ones. Only 18p and no additives!

 

[swears]

Nah, I'm going out in style!

 

[Dial]

Drugs. Lots of drugs. And laughing.

And if the man's not on time?

 

[noel emits]

And if the man's not on time?

Yeah the thing is Dial, this is hypothetical. Anyway the original question says it's tomorrow so that's plenty of time to get sorted. Also the man is never early, he's always late so you just factor that in.

I love the idea of Lou Reed actually singing this!

"Once thing you learn is that you've always got to make allowances for the lack of respect for punctuality entertained by members of the criminal classes with regards to those they exploit for profit."

 

[Mr. Tea]

"And what costume shall the poor girl wear...to a three-day live music festival in a former holiday camp on the south coast of England, featuring a line-up of semi-obscure post-rock acts chosen by Steve Albini?"

I thought this film was pretty good: Last Night - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0156729/

The world is coming to an end and it follows what a few people get up to in the last hours.

i find that scary - like, what, is the only thing stopping him kicking off with that programme the fact that hes going to be around to face the consequences?

 

[Martin Dust]

I reckon I'd spend it with my family, nice day out, perhaps a meal. Early bar and fall asleep on sofa.

 

[gek-opel]

Either kill people, or more realistically, sit at home arguing with people I don't know over the internet.

 

[Dial]

Yeah the thing is Dial, this is hypothetical.

It was a Burroughs reference as it happens If that's your way drugs and laughing sounds like a great last day.
