How do you want to die? And other fun musings

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: The Kitchen Sink: Questions, Questions, Questions: How do you want to die? And other fun musings

By Blue Berry on Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 8:01 pm:

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."


By Lolar Windrunner on Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 8:31 pm:

I wish to die well and with honor. Preferably in my sleep at an old old age.


By Mr. Flint on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 12:22 am:

I plan to live forever.


By constanze on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 1:54 am:

As long as its not like fox mulder ... :)


By The Late Nitpcker on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 4:56 am:

Long enough to finish typing this pos-- Thump!


By Sophie on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 6:59 am:

"I want to die like my Aunt, piecefully in my sleep.
Not screaming, like the passengers in her car."


By Sven of Nine on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 8:08 am:

I think death is over-rated.


By Alice on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 9:02 am:

I plan to live forever!

Or die trying....

(Vila from Blakes Seven, but I claim it as my own...)


By CR on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 3:19 pm:

Sophie... shouldn't that be "peacefully"? (Pick, pick. :) )

How do you want to die? Aw, is that the only alternative?


By Who fan and nursing home worker, Benn on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 10:31 pm:

"Hope I die before I get old." (I plan to do so, too. )


By Potato Townsend on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 12:40 am:

Hope I die before I get mold!


By Sophie on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 2:38 am:

I stand corrected. :)


By CR on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 7:37 am:

Unless, Sophie, she ended up in pieces! :O


By Peter `File` Townshend on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 8:09 am:

Hope I die before my parole.


By Influx on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 10:09 am:

Like Edward G. Robinson in Soylent Green.


By John A. Lang on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 9:01 pm:

After my 100th birthday....Just like George Burns.


By CR on Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 7:05 am:

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.


By Brian Webber on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 12:47 am:

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*


By Blue Berry on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 3:30 am:

Why do you think that post'll get dumped? Seriously, why? You use no profanity, insult no one, and, well, is normal.


By Sophie - who thinks the local fetish shop is a saddlery on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 5:56 am:

What's wrong with selling dolphins?


By Sven of Nine, CEO of easyDolphin on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 6:28 am:

Darn. There goes another profitable enterprise.


By Blue Berry on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 7:58 am:

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.:)


By kerriem on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 10:29 am:

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...)


By Flipper on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 11:48 am:

Ekkk-ek-k-k-k-k-k-eeekkkk-k-k-kekkk-kkkkek-kkkekkk!!!


By Brian Webber on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 1:02 pm:

kerrie: My therapist passed away several years ago from breats cancer.


By Sven of Nine, bringing the train of thought back on topic on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 2:37 pm:

Not a good way to die.


By Kerriem (Kerriem) on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 2:49 pm:

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.


By Blue Berry on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 5:32 pm:

Kerriem,

You saw my smiley. I see your smiley. Deltet away.

Oh, your not a jealous husband, are you?:)


By Smarty Pants Kid on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 5:59 pm:

A tad of an over-reaction, IMHO, Kerrie, as I did put a wink afterwards but I won't repost.


By Sven of Shirley on Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 2:15 pm:

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.


By Blue Berry on Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 7:21 pm:

Dying quickly so would be terrible. I want to linger and make everyone suffer.:)


By kerriem on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 10:40 am:

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...") :O


By Blue Berry on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 1:45 pm:

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".:)


By Callie on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 3:20 pm:

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!)


By veQDuj on Friday, June 13, 2003 - 9:26 pm:

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.


By Benn on Friday, June 13, 2003 - 9:54 pm:

Was it Courtney Love, Tom Arnold or Pauly Shore?


By Sven of Nine on Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 12:24 pm:

I'll bet it was Rosie O'Donnell. :O


By Sven again on Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 12:27 pm:

Or Tonya Harding. :O :O


By veQDuj on Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 4:47 pm:

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!


By Scott McClenny on Sunday, December 14, 2003 - 2:52 pm:

Perferably with all my teeth!


By Blue Berry on Sunday, December 14, 2003 - 4:40 pm:

George Carlin on his calendar says he like to be on a cross town bus then inexplicably burst into flames.


By ccabe on Monday, December 15, 2003 - 10:21 am:

At the age of 181, removing a bra with my teeth.

(how Lister will die on Red Dwarf.)


By roger on Sunday, October 10, 2010 - 8:13 pm:

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.
