Time for new brake pads?

I have about 1/8th" left brake pad before it hit's the the warning mark.  Should I just keep driving it till it wears out to that mark.  Or do I only have a short amount of time left before I need to replace it anyway?

might as well replace it, why push the luck?
It's Gumby's fault.

The rule of thumb that I use:
When the lining is the same thickness as the metal, time to replace.
