going out like the dinosaur?

You may want to make this next week a special one.

Feel free to swim with the dolphins, see the pyramids, or simply punch that guy at work who slaps on way too much aftershave and always walks around with one of those earpiece cell phone things that you just pray is giving him a brain tumor. Take up smoking again and eat all the ice cream you want. You can even make it the full fat good stuff with the four-digit calorie count. Forget about hygiene. Max the credit cards. Lose every shred of social restraint you've been showing for your long and quiet life.

What I'm saying is that you need to go utterly batshit crazy and then make peace with a God of your own choosing.

I don't mean to be an alarmist here, but a huge asteroid is slated to "make an exceptionally close approach to our planet early on Monday, July 3".

So go ahead and shoot off all those fireworks while you're at it.
