Countdown of DEATH



So here we go, the Death Countdown. I had a trial run back in March where I tried to convince myself it was the day I was going to die but that turned out okay. This is the real deal now; it is a quest for a human boy to get nasty with a lady before his ticker stops tocking. This will end one of two ways.

1. I will die on April 23 and it will be all freaky like Final Destination.
2. I will survive April 23 and get on with my life.

Either way, I am currently "seeding the torrent" for my friend Vera's wonderful finished animation project, "Sno-bo." Get the torrent here: Sno-Bo!

Good day to you.

My birthday is on April 23d. It gives me a strange sense of comfort knowing that the day I was born, someone will die.

I'm sure shakespeare felt the same way... when he died on his birthday. Coincidentally, that is also April 23d.

Jeff, you've died before. You should be pretty used to it.

Jeff, I probably don't tell you this enough: You're a moron.

Although having said that there were those weird premnitions of your hideously painful death......

"seeding the torrent" sounds dirty, doesn't it?

Premonition dreams are meaningless! Except when they're not!

I do share my birthday with Hitler. It's not as glamourous as you might expect.

But, considering that it is 4/20, I would imagine it is Weedmaster P's birthday as well.

Good luck on your death, Jeff!

You can hang out with the pope. It'll be fun.

Mitch Hedberg is dead.

Jeff, if you die, you will simply be contributing to the already gaping hole in the world of humor.

So if these ARE your final days of earthly life, you will be spending them... updating your webcomics?

I've been enjoying these extra-much lately!

Don't forget option #3: you die before April 23rd, and everyone laughs at you.

Jeff, Sorry Dude but I'm just going to be too busy late April to fit you in, and I think your file was just mis-filed on the April 23rd pile - we caught the error before it was too late.
Sorry about the premnitions, our bad.
Stay off the salty snacks, and don't be in Paris next Christmas...trust me.

Uhh... whatever floats your boat.

Pshaw, this is coming from the guy who a few days before said it would be fun to die. Pshaw, I say! Pshaw!

Also, my computer likes to pick the coolest things on the whole internet and decide to not support the file type. At first it was kind of cute, but now it's just really annoying.

I'm the fourth person commenting on this whose birthday is April 23rd. It's an obvious omen that you may or may not die.

Wow, excellent short! This is totally worth 6 months of no Return to Sender. Jeff, is there any place I can give props to Vera?

let me check my date book... oh yes, there you are, penciled in for the 23rd. better start getting your groove on.

That's two separate people claiming to be Death with vastly different itineraries. Which one should I be afraid of?

Also Vera will see this so props are given automagically.

Sit down, posers.

Jeff, I'll see you on Sunday. Wear something black.

Yet another guy chiming in to say that April 23rd is his birthday. You'd better keep updating from beyond the grave, y'hear?

Neither is my birthday April 23th, nor is my name Death.
This makes me a minority and makes me feel special.

This April 23 is my 32nd birthday. That makes it a Birthday Palindrome. I'm sure that means something.

April 23 is my birthday, too. I'll be 27. Jeff will be alive. Come on, man, you can do it. Don't bum me out on my birthday.
