Incredible Downer (Maybe Alanis Morisette really is God) Isn't it ironic? Don'tcha think?
An elderly (and probably really nice) Texas man spent his entire life serving his community and watching motorsports. He had always dreamt of one day hitting a professional track in a speeding car like the top drivers in the world. And thanks to a very generous group of drivers, for several minutes the World War II veteran was living his dream in the passenger seat of a speeding automobile. Then, the car blew out a tire, crashed into the wall, and tragically killed the 87-year-old man. Let that be a lesson kids. Stop dreaming because it can kill you. http://www.chron.com/disp...10830.html MY COVER OF PRETTY WINGS

That's the Alanis definition of irony, which English teachers have taken her to task about for years since. MY COVER OF PRETTY WINGS

Well at least he died with his boots on | |

He died living a dream. I'd be willing to bet, if you could ask him, that he wouldn't regret it for a second. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

That's what I'm thinking! He went out doing something he always wanted to do, probably feeling the most exhilarating high! Instead of falling asleep in front of the telly, wearing Depends and dying while sitting in his own piss. RIP ole dude!  | |

Seems to me he found a good way to go - heart pumping, adrenalin rushing. And at 87, I'd take that. | |

was afraid to fly He packed his suuuuuitcase

See, that's the part of the song that bugs me the most. To be ironic, the song should go like this.... Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly so he never went anywhere but one day he was walking down the street and a plane fell out of the sky and landed on top of him Now that's ironic.

that reminds me of my auntie who is deathly afraid of birds like she has a total bird phobia (I think I tell this story every year )
she went to a party where the hosts had an old parrot on a perch in their living room where all the guests were mingling she didn't want to go in that room, and in the end her friends managed to persuade her that it was OK, that parrot hasn't left its perch in years. so she walks into the room, and the parrot flew up her skirt and she wet herself | |
