Feeling Lucky? These people should be!
Reminds me of the time I was standing in Home Depot, and a toilet fell from three risers up and missed my head by inches. I was too stunned to move.
And then I felt blessed. :-) I'd hate to be killed by a falling toilet.
Isn't that how the character died (the falling toilet) in Dead Like Me? I only watched a few episodes before I realized that I didn't think God wanted me watching the show so I stopped.... but I vaguely remember that being how she died.
How funny/strange, Leslie. I rented the DVDs to "Dead Like Me," and, like you, watched only a little bit before I got a nudge to turn it off and send it back. So I did. And I really don't remember much about it, but a falling toilet sounds like something a writer would think of. :-)
Yes, Dead Like Me was killed by a toilet seat falling from the space station. They call her "Toilet Seat." I've only recently started watching, but haven't felt a nudge yet. It's a very obviously anti-God show, though. Any time the character talks about Him or church it's very negative. Not to mention the whole after-life mythology they've developed. Honestly, it's losing it's draw quickly anyway.
I'm also very glad you weren't killed by a toilet. Or any other thing for that matter.
I remember at the time it was so hard to turn it off because I really liked the characters, acting, and writing, but now that I look back on it I couldn't care less.
Its an object lesson I need to remind myself of more often.

Those are amazing and gasp-inducing! Glad the toilet didn't cause your demise!

Glad I wasn't totally mis-remembering that.
