that hospital must be run by one of my cats

FLOCKE the polar bear cub - need a heart emoticon for him

expatinscotland · 02/02/2008 00:27

oh, that cube is beyond adorable!

too bad he's going to grow up into a man-eating predator at the top of the food chain.

or starve to death from habitat destruction.

expatinscotland · 02/02/2008 00:27

cub, sorry!

he can eat me when he grows up if he likes, that is better than starving to death and I've got to die of something although to be honest I've had my heart set on having my skull pierced by the sharp teeth of a jaguar for some time now

Nah, back in the day when we legal secretaries used to fantasize about how we'd like to see The Most Evil Partner in the World meet his Maker, my ultimate way to perish has always been being buried up to the neck in sand, having the head drenched in honey and then having a hill of fire ants poured over the top.

Yeah, if you gotta go, that'd be the way!

Oh, yes, Califrau.

Cougars have many uses!

Do your neighbours have any pets you don't particularly care for? Got any rotten meat?

Just remember - dawn and dusk and they like small prey.

oohh mountain lions, yes I suppose so - I think they will rip my throat out first won't they? It would be nice to have a useful sort of death
where are you?

OP posts:
expatinscotland · 02/02/2008 00:39

They're pansies, Vacua. They usually just throttle the prey to death and then drag it into the bush to feast.

You're better off straying into grizzly bear territory during cub season.

Far more drama in that.

It's a little far north of Califrau, however, but I'm sure a pit stop chez Cali can be arranged.

Oh, killer bees!

Yes.

That's the other one.

A nice selection of areas in N., Central and S. America to chose from as well, with a holiday in an exotic or desert locale before the moment to stir up an angry colony, using livestock as bait.

Or, for the more aquatic, there's being stung by a school of water moccasins.

death by grizzly also acceptable

prefer the jaguar though, especially a melanistic one

And they have such pretty eyes, those jaguars.

I agree.

Guaranteed to make it into the papers, too.

WAIT a minute

this is not a 'vacua's fantasy death thread'

No, I don't like bears.

Uh uh.

At least with cougars, you have an outside chance, if you throw stuff at it and roar and wave stuff over your head.

With bears you're just fucked.
