This ploy would have saved Stephen King a ton of pages.

Life is such a grind.

Just life imitating a Nine Inch Nails video, nothing to see here.

"You're terminated, f*cker!"

TA reminded me of an old Dennis Miller rant from several years ago where he implored sex offenders to "take one for the team".
Way to go Pennington, you took one for the team.

He told you he was hardcore

Like I always say; if you're gonna go, at least impress the judges.

At the steel mill I used to work at, there were all kinds of incidents like this. We had one guy who lost it one day and jumped into a pot of molten zinc. Another guy jumped off the roof of one of the mills into a dumpster full of metal shavings. Industrial jobs are f'd up.

There is a strange beauty to that sentence.

Hehe, reminds me of the Simpsons episode where they watched the 'World Without Zinc' filmstrip.

zzz...Come..back..zinc..come back...ZINC!

teedeepee		2007-10-27 06:20:46 AM

What an attention whore.

xdahax		2007-10-27 07:43:23 AM

Based on the headline, I was thinking this was a reasonable way to go out. Massive, overwhelming power to crush, destroy and kill nearly instantly and painlessly.

Then I RTFA. Died from suffocation. Not so good.

Nick Nostril		2007-10-27 07:48:22 AM

Yuck.

I came here to make a terrible pun about it being a crushing disappointment, but somebody already did underneath the article. Probably just as well.

Ned the Wookie		2007-10-27 07:57:58 AM

Hope he gets well soon!

Agreed. I heard this same story years ago.

Wonder if the guy had any family.
If so its gonna be some crushing news when they hear about it.

IKillBugs		2007-10-27 08:03:56 AM

I guess you really have to want it to go out like that.

gopher321: "You're terminated, f*cker!"

You're terminated, dumb f*ucker

jayday		2007-10-27 08:06:42 AM

Looks like the pressure finally got to him.

tedZilla		2007-10-27 08:07:47 AM

That's creating a hostile work environment.

"I bet ya I can roll out just before it comes doooowwwwnnn..."

Abe_Vigoda's_Not_Dead		2007-10-27 08:12:06 AM

It only took a second!

jayday		2007-10-27 08:12:53 AM

Now thats a flat out horrible way to go.

Hey what do you expect the guy got dePressed

ADX		2007-10-27 08:35:13 AM

Too bad there's no video of the incident: it would be a smash hit...

Mr_Smartypants		2007-10-27 08:36:00 AM

Meh. Wake me when someone does this:

GoldenMetalRaven		2007-10-27 08:36:31 AM

I wonder if people would find my brother's PSA on why not to commit suicide to be more entertaining?

I believe it went a little something like this (Poppin click)

jayday		2007-10-27 08:46:36 AM

Now when this guy say he's got some pressing matters to attend to, well he damn well means it.

Well yeah officer, the on switch was 30 feet away, but Joe was flexible like that.

On-the-job-suicide?
GASP!

This story reminds me of the guy who stole more chains than he could swim with.

GomezAdams		2007-10-27 09:08:02 AM

About 25 years ago here in Tampa there was a guy who bought some car jacks, went out into the parking lot and jacked his car up. He then crawled under and knocked one of the jacks out to be crushed to death. Must have been hardcore to do it that way.

I'd rather hire a couple of lap dancers to beat me to death with their Boobies.

GoldenMetalRaven: I wonder if people would find my brother's PSA on why not to commit suicide to be more entertaining?

I took that to PSA to be more along the lines of "how to commit suicide for attention instead of OD'ing on pills."

... and your brother reminds me of Chris Farley who, uhm, pretty much committed suicide.
