OT: Doctor dies trying to access home through chimney

[elocomotive]

The sports radio I show I listen to locally mentioned this story today. They have a segment called Donkeys of the Week - people who donk themselves off in weird, unusual, or stupid ways. This is a DOTW Hall of Famer...

Full story

What a dumb way to go.

Is there a doctor in the house?

Lol.

 

[juliansteed]

Wow!

 

[elocomotive]

Wow!

I mean, you'd expect something like this from some dumb ass lawyer. But a doctor? C'mon!

Reminds me of Gremlins and Phoebe Cates father in it.

Uh...wha....wha... what was it we were...t.t.talking about?

I cannot remember.

I think in Gremlins ( I saw it in the theater when it came out when I was a kid then never again so I may be wrong) she told a story how her father tried to surprise them for Christmas and slide down their chimney. He fell to his death and lodged in the chimney and they found him days later when he began to smell. It was actually supposed to be serious and even as a kid I could not stop laughing.

I was only a little kid when that came out and wasn't allowed to watch it. I probably should see it now, I don't think I've ever seen the whole thing.

Clearly doc never saw the movie either.

sorry, I had to step away to watch the highlights of Phoebe Cates' - Paradise
it's just a Blue Lagoon ripoff, but she's starkers in a good part of it.


/adds to Bluray list

Duh, everybody knows that you go headfirst down a chimmney. It's way easier to see if your gonna get stuck.

Ho Ho Ho! I need an iron lung, stat!

I had heard that one of the people that live close by thought they heard someone calling for help but it sounded like it was off in the distance and ignored it.

Not the smartest thing for her to do but if you think about it that is an awful way to die.
