Second the notion, Ibram. Any alcohol involvement? -- that might knock them to second or third runner-up. But doing this cold sober is definitely Darwin Award material.

Definitely. In more ways than one, actually. First, a human ought to be smarter than that. Second, it would be nice if our "suffocation" instinct were triggered by O2 deprivation as well as CO2 buildup. Though I suppose these deaths won't do much for the latter...

I just pray that they had the presence of mind to sing "We are the Lollipop League" before they succumbed.

I guess they thought they'd get a super shot of "laughing gas" like at the dentist's or something. Maybe someone should sue the dentist they went to.

As a former victim of O2 deprivation, I can tell you that there last moments were probably hallucinatory and they didn't know what hit them. Its unlikely they suffered. There's that much at least.

Poor, dumb kids.

Flag on the play!

Loss of pop culture yardage ... that's "Lullaby League" or "Lollipop Guild."

Offense has to rewatch the movie before it's shown on TCM on Thanksgiving Night.

Resume play.

*phweeet!!*
