Okay, that was a pretty weak joke, but every time I see a couple of death posts I tense up at the thought of someone posting that lame reply, so I need to change my outlook on it.

Man, three guys named David Carradine all going out on the same day.

What're the chances?

[Omniscia]

It's like the beginning of The Terminator.

Grasshopper, snatch the rope from my neck.....

If the above article is correct, no he didn't.

What is the attraction with stranglebating?* Wasn't the INXS guy some sort of warning sign?



*EDIT - any attempt to honestly answer this question will get you on a list. A list you don't want to be on. FYI

I didn't know it was called stranglebating, but it deprives you of oxygen (duh!) and that is supposed to cause a more powerful orgasm when you masturbate.

We had a tragic case of it here in Missouri some years back. Three kids in the woods were doing it and two of them died.

I am wondering now if that is what happened to Carradine, though. If you did want to hang yourself in a wardrope, you might tie the rope around your lower torso, which in this case might mean it's tied between your legs in some manner, and then loop the rope over the bar and tie it around your neck and use your body weight to cause the suffocation. Of course you wouldn't have to be naked to do that.

I'm sure we will hear a lot more about how he died soon enough.

The slang for autoasphyxiation is known as scarfing. It came to attention in the UK when a MP was found dead at his kitchen table... naked apart from womens stockings, a satsuma in his mouth and a bin bag over his head.

[Mark Asher]

His manager thinks it might have been an accidental death:

"His manager, Chuck Binder, said Mr. Carradine had been in good spirits and the death "seems accidental" but is "under investigation."

[Bahimiron]

I'll believe the BBC before I believe CNN, CNN before wild internet speculation and wild internet speculation before I believe his business manager.

Why can't people just have fun playing computer games, like me?

[Demon G Sides]

Seriously. Especially David Carradine :(

We had a tragic case of it here in Missouri some years back. Three kids in the woods were doing it and two of them died.

And of course there was the Baptist minister from Alabama who was found dead, hogtied and wearing two rubber suits, with a dildo up his butt.

It's acutally terribly sad that someone would die from something as harmless as having a wank.

Perhaps he was despondent that Sony's motion controller won't be out until next year.

you owe me a new keyboard

and monitor

[Tim James]

That's why I made sure to say computer games.

Those console guys are loose cannons, I agree.

[Hugin]

Clyde Bruckman was right.

[quatoria]

Perhaps he was despondent that Sony's motion controller won't be out until next year.

It's also possible that he felt it would be more dignified to be found dead with a rope around his genitals than to be like Tim James. Me, I dunno - seems like a fifty-fifty split.

[Tim James]

Honestly quat, I really don't deserve a four day old thread resurrection for a snide comment. I'm not that important.

He was probably offended by your anti-console barb and it took him this long to come up with the witty rejoinder.
