I'll probably put it off.

I'd try every food that I'd always wanted to eat. Like roast pig on a spit. Taste every good alcoholic drink. Go bungee jumping, sky diving, and parasailing.

then smack a stripper on the ass, I never got to do that.

Make funeral arrangements so that I am creamated in my best suit.

the 40 minutes before, I'd prepare my body, get in the suit and pine box with a doctor on stand by to pronounce me dead.

Rob a bank, hold my local tv station up for hostage, and tell them that they'd have to put my face all over national television ;)

Id run down the street naked - Tell my family all my secrets and what I really thought of them (good and bad) - Go ask my friends if they wanted to join me on 24hr quest - Go steal a really nice car, I figure by the time they know who stole it, Ill be dead (Ferrari, Porsche) - Go speeding in that car - Steal a really fast motorcycle, etc - Go talk to hookers about their life and if they are happy with it, and what they should do to make it better - somehow get to Glacier national park, but that isnt really possible since I live some 36hrs away from it (I guess Ill just get a plain ticket). Climb all the way to the top of a mountain, look around, at the wonderful view, then lay down and stare at the sky till I die. I think thats all.

I'd eat the good stuff, lobster, filet mingon, caviar. I like gotsmack's ideas of stuff like skydiving and stuff. Not like you have to worry about your parachute not opening. :p Renting an exotic sportscar would be nice. Kind of hard to prosecute speeding tickets on dead people. :D
In the end I'd suppose I'd go out holding my wife's hand with my last sight being her. God I'd miss her.

24 hours is not that much time. I would drink beer and watch TV.
If I had more time, say 48 hours or more, I would fly to Hawaii, find a nice beach, and enjoy the remaining time.

Yeah, like download and install Windows XP corporate! lol

*EDIT* 5 minutes before I die, I'd pretend to die, then sit up and say "gotcha!" and keep doing that until I can't anymore =)

I would buy an expensive video camera and rent a crew, do alot of crazy stuff and video all of it. I would get my family to produce it as a reality tv show. We could call it "wont- survivor" and it would play out something like the show 24, without all the terrorists.

heck, I would watch it...
