My kind of death - Funeral at Age 28

[deckart]

I would I have to take drowning over burning. A human being will, by instinct, jump to his/her death rather than be consumed by flames.

Yeah, I don't see what's so bad about drowning...just relax and hold your breath until you pass out and then----->

 

[rocketboy]

Being sucked into a black hole.

Or remember the James Bond film where the guy gets squeezed to death by the girl who had sex with him minutes before?

Drowning or burning? I'll take burning...like others have said, I can't stand the thought of being trapped underwater not being able to breath.

Or maybe while being tortured yelling "FREEEEDOOOOM!" (I loved that movie)

That last one...so heroic, sure it would be painful, but hey, ur going to die anyway right? and once your dead, the pain is over, I mean, really, think of the worst physical pain you have ever felt...do you still feel it? Pain is temporary, and i forget the rest of the saying

As for suicide...hmm...sky diving without the parachute, like the other person said, it would be fun until you hit the ground, and by that point you probably will have passed out!

i think drowning truly encompasses the death experience. i thought of it a long time when i was... that way. I wouldn't mind going out in a bit more glory, but if i was dying because i wanted to die, and i was ready to die... i would only even kill myself if i had really already experience everything in life i wanted. and so, i think, if I'm going to die, i want to really experience dying. and drowning... you have like, that feeling of leaving reality... entering the other side, and there's like... no turning back.

as for the pain... my goal would just be to keep my eyes open. first, i wouldn't breathe as long as i could. then probably little breaths of water, cause you can't help instinct. but all the while eyes open. and then, perhaps i'd pass out, or progress to full on coughing underwater... i just want to see it. sides, if you're expecting it... i think its a good way to go...

Anybody ever read The Awakening? The chick swims out into the Caribbean until she cannot swim any further. Now that's a death. After reading that, I knew that was how I wanted to go out.

Also the chick in Follett's Code to Zero. (She's a Soviet spy and rather than be prosecuted and get the chair, she just swims out to the ocean.)

I remember when I was a kid, I was about drown while I was swiming abit far away the beach! It was really terrible. Awh drinking lots of dirty water and... Fortunately they savd me because I really hate to die in this way. I think people with the same experience like me never have no wish to die in this way!

 

[arildno]

I'm modest:
I just want a little death to be my end.
If I can't get that, I'll go with a bang instead.

Lisa!, I am so glad that you didn't drown. I, for one, would have really missed you. (Even tho' I wouldn't even know what I would have been missing.)

 

[EnumaElish]

This thread's pretty depressing. but here is a simple diagram of how I want my death to go

Let me see... ---> a wife, concubine or servant being buried alive with you (along with the treasures and domestic animals)? Or just angry team members because you're letting them down by passing away in the middle of a really important meeting (and you're the only one who understands the charts you've made or the report you've written based on those charts)?

 

[El Hombre Invisible]

Yes, three cheers for they! Glad you weren't fishfood Lisa! (That's Lisa! with an exclamation mark, not Lisa! unpunctuated - God this is getting confusing.)

 

[arildno]

glad you survived Lisa!

It is better to have a cod for food, than being food for a cod.

 

[EnumaElish]

Although Lisa! might prefer smoked (glazed, even?) salmon, lightly grilled tuna (with black pepper), or skewered swordfish. Yum!

 

[arildno]

I like to eat my cod in one piece.
Why the need of forks, knives, cooking and such?
Raw meat is best.

 

[Lisa!]

I almost get to know why you're strange but this one is really ...

Raw meat is best.

Raw fish is good as sashimi, with pickled ginger, wasabi, and an occasional lemon sliver. There is another green that goes wtih it which is quite tasty but I don't know the name -- I'll call it Japanese lettuce. Raw has vitamins that cooked doesn't. (Bit I wouldn't like to pass away because of the accumulated toxins from eating too much fish, raw or otherwise.)

 

[arildno]

Yes, sushi is good.

 

[Lisa!]

Ah prefa enny kin' o' deyth ta eytin sushi!

 

[arildno]

Well, a Norwegian delicacy is slightly rotten salmon (with some additional spice).
that's good too.

 

[EnumaElish]

Ah prefa enny kin' o' deyth ta eytin sushi!

Must be the "ocean bottom" flashback, eh, Lisa!?

 

[Genecks]

Hmm, dying would probably be a failure if all things don't go according to plan.

However, I would like to find myself dying after establishing the last bit of a revoultion among this planet where the mind of individuals are free and where knowledge means more than money.

Other than that, if I can't have that, I'd love to blow up the world.

 

[Lisa!]

Wha' eur callin abaht?

Neya! as lons as dis liseur is aroun' 'eear i'd call ta thee dis way, reet?

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Lisa! are you ok?

 

[EnumaElish]

Lisa! are you ok?

I thought she was imitating some obscure local accent. What is "reet"? Supposed to be "right"?

 

[Lisa!]

Teur. ah'm fine.

Lisa! are you ok?

 

[Danger]

How can you build an elderly house? Surely it would be new?
