The closest I ever came to dying was when I took a walk around my neighborhood during the height of Sandy. Piece of sheetmetal ripped off of a building came half a foot from decapitating me. Luckily I was really really drunk.
Speaking of which,
@LightningStrikes I invented a drink during Superstorm Sandy that I called the Slippery Sandy.
Fill a blender 1/3 ice and 1/3 coffee ice cream. Throw a banana in there. Use a coconut rum of your choice. Fill the now-almost-packed blender up about 1/4 of the way with it. Add about half as much Kahlua as rum. Blend until it's like a milshake. Mix cocoa powder and brown sugar separately. Rim a glass with it, pour your Sandy in, and enjoy.
