A brief typology of Fun til Death

Typology of Fun til death.
we are often asked- what is Fun Til Death?


 Fun til death- Neil Young captured it best when he said " it is better to burn out than it is to rust."    I might burn out my knees, or my wrists, or my back. But I did it having fun. Fun til death is every day trying to find a Walden Pond where you can suck the marrow out of life. Even if at your Walden you are mostly watching your bean patch grow, takes a lot of work to get it growing. . Even if you live in a relative paradise like Boulder,CO  real fun takes a real decision to get off your ass, and that can be real work and real work takes it out of you. All that sucking the marrow sooner or later is going to kill you.  You are going to die...if the fun doesn't get you, something else will. Call it fatalistic, we call it Fun Til Death

 Fun til immediate death : Easily combined with a number of other types of FTD ( See: FTD resulting in glory) Encompases anything that is fun...but might also kill you real fast. example:  Tight roping over Niagra Falls,  

 Fun til prolonged suffering resulting in death: Untreated venereal disease for example.


 Fun til death by family or friend or spouse: Its all fun and games until you really piss some one off.

fun til death resulting in glory:  Your epic adventures go down in history. your soul ascends and spends eternity with a thousand party demons.

fun til death resulting in ridicule: Stupidity and boldness live close together.  If you die due to fun, there will be some that will question your decision. You may even be the butt of a joke or two.
