He Died "With His Boots On"

I dunno - this has nothing to do with the WoT - but we all have to go sometime, and the following story seems fitting as a reminder.
Michigan Man Bowls 3rd Perfect Game, Then Dies

PORTAGE, Mich. (AP) - A bowler collapsed and died at a bowling alley shortly after rolling the third perfect game of his life. Ed Lorenz, 69, bowled a 300 Wednesday in his first league game of the night at Airway Lanes. When the retiree got up to bowl in the fifth frame of his second game, he clutched his chest and fell over, and efforts to revive him failed.

``If he could have written a way to go out, this would be it,'' said Johnny D Masters, who was bowling with Lorenz. Friends said Lorenz started bowling in 1957 and ended last season with a 223 average. He rolled his first two 300 games over a one-week period in 2004.

#5  My only hope is that the Swedish Bikini Team is somehow part of my demise.

I can read the obit now, "Doctors and mortuary officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, claim that the smile could not be removed from his face."

#3  Something similar happened in my father-in-law's senior softball league a few years ago. Guy made a great play at second base, accepted congratulations all around, and dropped dead right there on the field. His wife said the same thing - it was exactly how he would have wanted to go out.
