Not a pleasant topic, but has anyone got a witty or thought provoking answer? Mine is, "I want to be murdered by a jealous husband when I'm 98."
I wish to die well and with honor. Preferably in my sleep at an old old age.
I plan to live forever.
As long as its not like fox mulder ...
Long enough to finish typing this pos-- Thump!
"I want to die like my Aunt, piecefully in my sleep.
Not screaming, like the passengers in her car."
I think death is over-rated.
I plan to live forever!
Or die trying....
(Vila from Blakes Seven, but I claim it as my own...)
Sophie... shouldn't that be "peacefully"? (Pick, pick. )
How do you want to die? Aw, is that the only alternative?
"Hope I die before I get old." (I plan to do so, too. )
Hope I die before I get mold!
I stand corrected.
Unless, Sophie, she ended up in pieces!
Hope I die before my parole.
Like Edward G. Robinson in Soylent Green.
After my 100th birthday....Just like George Burns.
I'd kind of like to see America's tri-centennial celebration in 2076... of course, I'll be over 100 then.
Soylent Green... now there's an original addition to this list. Creepy, but original.
February 2nd 2082. As for the how, who cares, I'll be 100. I'd settle for dying during a dolphin flogging session.
*sits back and waits for post to get Dumped*
Why do you think that post'll get dumped? Seriously, why? You use no profanity, insult no one, and, well, is normal.
What's wrong with selling dolphins?
Darn. There goes another profitable enterprise.
Oh, flogging the dolphin means choking the chipmunk. I get it.
Flogging threw me off as I pictured domantixes, riding crops, Flipper, and a dead Brian Webber.
Brian, Berry's right; while I would heartily recommend you showing it to your therapist next session, there was nothing overtly Dumpable about your post. (Unless of course we have any dolphins in the audience who want to complain...)
Ekkk-ek-k-k-k-k-k-eeekkkk-k-k-kekkk-kkkkek-kkkekkk!!!
kerrie: My therapist passed away several years ago from breats cancer.
Not a good way to die.
Sigh...y'know, they warned me there'd be Moderatorial days like this, but did I listen? Noooooo.
OK, final determination:
Edited Brian's original post slightly, not for content.
Deleted Berry's post with all the helpful suggestions on how to ad hominem your friendly neighborhood Mod (and my subsequent reference to same). William, I know you were kidding, but.
Deleted post from 'Smarty-Pants Kid' on grounds of ...well, actually, now that I think about it, I may have overreacted on that one. Smarty, feel free to repost.
Which brings us up to the present. Brian, you apologise to Flipper there, and I'll apologise (quite seriously) for making cracks about a trauma I didn't realise you'd had.
After which we all...erm...get on with our lives.
Back on topic: I'm not real concerned about method of death, as long as it's relatively peaceful and painless. All I ask is that it's not senseless and/or premature, ie. so that I can 'feel like I've really lived' as they say.
Kerriem,
You saw my smiley. I see your smiley. Deltet away.
Oh, your not a jealous husband, are you?
A tad of an over-reaction, IMHO, Kerrie, as I did put a wink afterwards but I won't repost.
Me: Not a good way to die.
You're right, Sven. A parachute not opening - that's the way to die; getting caught in a combine; having your nuts bit off by a Laplander. That's the way I want to go.
Dying quickly so would be terrible. I want to linger and make everyone suffer.
True enough. I've always hankered after one of those big deathbed scenes, with the family gathered round mopping my brow and leaning in to catch my final words of wisdom, in suspense over final bequests, etc etc. ("And Sister...to you I grant my most prized Beanie Baby collection. Watch over them with the care they deserve...")
I'd go for the scene where you end the sentances whith "Ahhh...", turn your head to the side, and relax everything. When everyone thinks the long ordeal is over, turn your head and say, "and to you my niece please watch over Henry." Of course this is best if no one knows a "Henry".
Even better if 'Henry' is your vacuum cleaner!
(In case there isn't such a thing in other countries, there is a vacuum cleaner called a Henry in the UK!)
For those people who saw the Simpson's episode "Life's a glitch, and then you die" It was one of the halloween specials I Think.
I want to die in anyway, but In the rocketship that was going to the sun. It's not the sun that bothered me, no... it was something in the rocketship itself.
Was it Courtney Love, Tom Arnold or Pauly Shore?
I'll bet it was Rosie O'Donnell.
Or Tonya Harding.
It was Rosie O'Donnell...
I had forgotten about Tonya.
But now that you've reminded me, I'd have to say tha__ WHUMP! Thud!
Perferably with all my teeth!
George Carlin on his calendar says he like to be on a cross town bus then inexplicably burst into flames.
At the age of 181, removing a bra with my teeth.
(how Lister will die on Red Dwarf.)
Other fun musing:
It's 10/10/10, 10:10 now.
How come nobody's had any other fun musings here in 7 years?
How to die?
A typical Hollywood heroic ending.
Painless, of course, surrounded by lots of nice people, and the bad guys get some suitable comuppance.
