  • Outcaster51, on 11/02/2008, -4/+193FLAWLESS VICTORY!




    FATALITY!
  • DinosWillDie13, on 11/02/2008, -0/+175Sad, but at least he went out in a great way for him. Good he died happy, too bad he was only 62
  • RyeBrye, on 11/02/2008, -8/+156When people say "He died doing something he loved" usually they are wrong. In this case, he died shortly AFTER doing something he loved. He loved bowling - not heart attacks.
  • inactive, on 11/02/2008, -2/+138I know how this guy feels. I once bowled a perfect game on Wii and got heartburn from a bunch of nachos.
  • doublefelix, on 11/02/2008, -9/+139You don't ***** with the Jesus.
  • twiztidsinz, on 11/02/2008, -4/+93Better to die happy at 62 than miserable, confused, lost and with a load of ***** in your diapers at 82.
  • ncapone, on 11/02/2008, -4/+58These are the worst comments ever.
  • RodBorn, on 11/02/2008, -7/+55um...how about to die immediately after:

    1.banging Angelina Jolie prior to her birthing litter
    2.banging Angelina Jolie after her first kid
    3.banging Angelina Jolie after her second kid
    4.banging Angelina Jolie after you roll a 300 game
    5.banging Angelina Jolie after she rolls a 300 game
  • AuburnTigers, on 11/02/2008, -2/+43People don't watch the Simpsons anymore? I appreciated the reference good sir.
  • ryanonfire, on 11/02/2008, -0/+39Exactly, a street racer doesn't enjoy getting burnt alive in a mangled car wreck.
  • stickstickly, on 11/02/2008, -1/+39obviously you're not a golfer.
  • gannondork, on 11/02/2008, -0/+38Well all comments regarding massive faggotry aside I think that he was referring to the guy going out doing what he loved, and dying with the knowledge that he had achieve at least one of his lifelong goals, rather than dying at home alone while taking a ***** on the toilet at 2:30am.
  • whahaa, on 11/02/2008, -7/+42Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors, and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and up to Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling. And so, Don Donald Doane, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.
  • username7410, on 11/02/2008, -4/+37His life would have only been downhill from then on out, so...
  • xartion, on 11/02/2008, -0/+25don't worry, you'll never be famous
  • dafragsta, on 11/02/2008, -2/+26OVER THE LINE!
  • ILikeVagina, on 11/02/2008, -1/+25I'm sorry but do you realize in an average bowling game, you can't knock down more than 120 pins?
  • Bennito, on 11/02/2008, -4/+2811. Banging Angelina Jolie after YOU banged Jessica Alba and immediately became Jesŭs.
  • Fitness03, on 11/02/2008, -3/+2113. Kill a swan. Take a ***** on it.
  • Gr1nch, on 11/02/2008, -2/+18THERE ARE RULES OK. THIS ISN'T 'NAM.

    edit: upon looking at the username, i realized this could be a racist comment.

    ....i'll allow it.
  • Edwaldo, on 11/02/2008, -1/+17Well, at least he went out on a high...
  • Yankees368, on 11/02/2008, -22/+37Did he choke on the 300 balloon?
  • zapwow, on 11/02/2008, -0/+15@ 0:50 - "You could have heard a pin drop... what, too soon?"
  • Rev0lver, on 11/02/2008, -0/+14Not only was that unfunny, it was just plain stupid.
  • Michigan85, on 11/02/2008, -4/+17I guess it just isn't Michigan's year.
  • mtcobb2, on 11/02/2008, -16/+29This makes him the greatest bowler ever... At the end of the game 301 pins fell.
  • ShadowCid, on 11/02/2008, -2/+15Specifically: http://www.hulu.com/watch/12141/the-big-lebowski-d ...

  • sgtbutterscotch, on 11/02/2008, -3/+16@supergoth, how does Angelina Jolie banging someone before you bang her help?
  • AmazingSteve, on 11/02/2008, -0/+13Goddamn it Walter!!! Why does ererything have to be such a travesty with you?!!! And what was that ***** about Vietnam?!! WHAT THE ***** DOES ANYTHING HAVE TO DO WITH VIETNAM???!? ***** Walter!
  • inactive, on 11/02/2008, -1/+14well, at least he died doing something cool.

  • jamesdew, on 11/02/2008, -1/+13clearly he does not
  • Princeamor, on 11/02/2008, -2/+13He probably died because he made a prayer years ago saying "God, all I ask you, is to let me roll a perfect 300 game before I die" And God answered his prayer...
  • xkorbin, on 11/02/2008, -0/+10I see what you did there, and it was not executed properly.

  • Lokomis, on 11/02/2008, -3/+12Dugg for Big Lebowski
  • MackDiesel2010, on 11/02/2008, -8/+17So the best ending is an inescapable pain pounding in your entire chest, feeling as if an elephant were standing on your chest as your heart dies and the oxygen in your brain slowly crawls to lower and lower levels, but always enough to stay concious just long enough to feel your heart give it's last, strained beat.
  • inactive, on 11/02/2008, -11/+196. banging Angelina Jolie after you hit a home run.
    7. banging Angelina Jolie after she banged Jessica Alba
    8. banging Angelina Jolie after she banged Jessica Alba that just banged Sophia Monk.

    10. banging Angelina Jolie after she banged Jessica Alba that just banged Sophia Monk that just banged Every Sports Illustrated model that just banged Jesus.
