How would you like to die?

[Merrick]

I was thinking I'd like to be eaten by some majestic animal, like a lion or a bald eagle so that my body's molecules would become part of something cool like that, but then I figured it would probably really hurt to be eaten (especially by a bird), so I figure I might take some heroin first or something.

How about you?

1. A recreation of the final 30 minutes of "The Wild Bunch," complete with Gatling gun and ...

Ernest Borgnine.

[More Than A Feeling]

33. Kewl!

You're right, that would be sweet!

[Omphaloskepsis]

2. In your arms...

Seriously.. In my sleep without pain.. I'm a total wimp..

[Shell Beau]

39. That isn't whimpy. Really, do you want your family knowing you suffered?

No, they can rest easily knowing you died in peace.

[Chan790]

42. Leaning towards heart attack in bed with a 19 year old.

[Little Wing]

3. quick and unexpected

or, if faced with something like burning to death trapped in a car, using the knife in the side box to cut my own throat

[Merrick]

4. Yikes

That sounds very unpleasant.

[Little Wing]

9. it happens quite a bit though

I had a friend tell me a story of a car accident where a car got smacked by another one and caught fire. The guy was trapped inside, and by the time the police showed up he was screaming for help. There was nothing anyone could do at the moment, and it was obvious the guy was beyond saving anyway, so the cop put a few rounds through the door. Don't know if it's true, but I'd hope a cop would do that for me.

40. A friend of mine's nephew was racing this other teen and they

ran a red light. Well, the nephew hit a truck going over 100 mph. The poor innocent people in the truck were 2 brothers. One lived and had to watch his brother burn to death. He has said that he still hears those screams. It was an awful story for all involved. The nephew was burned over 90% of his body and died a couple of days later at the age of 16. The other teen saw all, freaked out and went home. Told his mom what happened and she called the cops. The brothers were also really young. In there 20's. It was terrible. So many suffered. But the burning to death was what stuck with me. Awful!!! The other family ended up suing the teen's family. Not sure what came from it, but the teen's family had mega bucks so they probably settled. It was tough, they suffered too. Their son died as well, but they also had to deal with the fact that someone else died because of their son. So sad.

My whole point is that burning to death HAS to be the most painful way to go!

[babydollhead]

5. I will lock myself in a hot car on a summer day, pass out,die.

[ohiosmith]

6. How would you like to fucker?

Sorry! I responded prior to reading your entire post.

[Duncan Grant]

22. LOL.

:spray:

[mainegreen]

7. instantly vaporised unawares. n/t

[johnnie]

8. Spontanious combustion

Ka--boom.

[Mad_Dem_X]

10. Preferably in my sleep...

...Either that, or underneath Jake Gyllenhaal. :P

[itsmesgd]

11. I'd rather die in my sleep like grandpa

not yelling and screaming like the passengers he was driving in the car

[guitar man]

26. beat me to it, damn :) nt

[Redstone]

29. That's a damn old joke, but it's still damn funny. Thanks for the chuckle.

Redstone

[TommyO]

46. OK, so I posted the same thing before I read the thread.

Oops.

[edbermac]

12. Like Al Pacino in Scarface.

In a blaze of coked-up glory...

[slj0101]

17. Beats dying like F. Murray Abraham in the same film.

Remind me never to go on a helicopter ride with Colombian henchmen.

[edbermac]

35. LOL...well he deserved that, the little rat.

[Parche]

13. DIE

While doing..........'IT' several times!!!!

[Taverner]

14. Opium Overdose

I hear it's the most fun way to go...

[Blue-Jay]

15. Skydiving.

I figure that if I had a double malfunction, I'd pretend like I was doing the breaststroke as I was nearing the ground. At least it might make a few people laugh.

[Little Wing]

16. Yes, that would make me laugh

[Blue-Jay]

21. That's because you're a sick bastard.

I like that about you!

I used to own a shirt that said "If you go in, can I have your gear?"

[bif]

18. Duperino!

Didn't see the other one.

[mainegreen]

19. Dupe!

:rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

20. Making whoopie with all the lounge Naughty girls

:evilgrin:

[Duncan Grant]

23. One more for the "in my sleep" category.

I'll never pack enough living into this life to satisfy me. If I die in my sleep, I'll at least be saved from the frustrating realization that there are things left undone. :)

[dropkickpa]

24. The attention-seeking part of me sez "Meteorite"

the rest just doesn't want it to hurt.

[unpossibles]

25. I like your idea, but I'll have to go with a naked skydiving orgy

just because it's the only time you'd ever get to try that...

oops. I forgot my extra ellipses.........................

[Redstone]

27. At 97 years old, crashing my Ferrari into a bridge abutment at 150 MPH

because I got too excited from the "services" of the 22-year-old black-haired waitress who was in the car with me.

Of course, she'd be OK. Airbags, you know.

Redstone

[Orsino]

28. Not very much.

I'm procrastinating.

[SPKrazy]

30. Shot Dead

cut up into pieces and fed to the fish.

:shrug:

I estimate that the odds of this happening seem to be increasing some each damned day.

[Merrick]

31. Told my mom how she's gonna go -

Thought when she's on her last leg we'd donate her to Hollywood as a stunt double. Let a director make a really realistic scene about an old lady driving off a bridge or getting attacked by ruffians.

[Rhythm]

32. old...not in pain... preferrably alseep

is that too much to ask?

[Deja Q]

34. With whip cream on top?

:9

Dunno how to answer this; it is rather morbid...

[Sacajawea]

36. At sea -- over the rail attached to a very heavy weight (and seriously premedicated)

I'm a major league Patrick O'Brian fan, and this appeals to me.

Another benefit: Right back into the carbon cycle.

[China_cat]

37. Very, very, very slowly

like over the next 75 or 100 years.

[Shell Beau]

38. I guess I am boring and not morbid, but I would like to be old

and die in my sleep. Peaceful without all of the suffering! But I would think the Hippo would be the coolest animal to get eaten by even though I think they are veggies. They could rip you in half and then it would be done. No torture there, just the fear of the hippo chasing your ass. And they are faster than you think! They are mean creatures they are. But they are freakin' awesome!!!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Quickly.

[Alexander]

43. Crushed by a runaway semi driven by the Incredible Hulk.

:evilgrin:

[TommyO]

48. But something like that is highly unlikely

I suspect you'll live forever!

[Alexander]

50. It's actually a Futurama reference.

It was Bender's favorite method of death.

And living forever wouldn't be that bad. I'd certainly be very wise in 1,000,000 years. :-)

[Cobalt Violet]

44. I'd like to get really, really sick with a prolonged agonizing...

Death. I'd like to die on the liver transplant waiting list after living with end stage liver disease. I'd like to have the veins in my esophagus burst and extreme fluid build up in my leg and belly and mental confusion.

[TommyO]

45. Quietly, in my sleep - like my grandfather

Not like the screaming passengers in his car. (I know, it's an old joke)

In all seriousness, I would want it be quick, or quietly in my sleep. Though there is part of me that would love to be conscious until the very end so I could actually experience it - is that strange?

[HEyHEY]

47. Hail of RCMP gunfire!

[ContraBass Black]

49. Calmly.

[Rabrrrrrr]

51. Of immortality

[Art_from_Ark]

52. You mean like what's-his-face?

The Greek guy who wished for immortality and ended up skrinking to death, whatever his name was...

[dysfunctional press]

53. quickly and painlessly, when the time comes.
