Export thread

Since its October, why not have a thread about the glory of death?

Me personally? I'd want to go out full on hero style, in a fiery explosion destroying the bad guy's base! And then slow pan-out of wreckage and fade to my funeral.

Obligatory: I want to go out peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and terror-filled, like his passengers.

Seriously though, no idea. Obviously, I'd rather die a peaceful death than an agonizingly painful death, but beyond that - I'm not sure.

By finally succeeding in blowing up the planet.

I want to be horribly disfigured. That way I don't have to worry about being stuffed and paraded in front of everyone so they can cry over my lifeless body one more time. I think open casket funerals are one of the most disturbing traditions we have. Put up some pictures of the fun times I had and have that as your final memory of me.

Heat death of the universe.

In my own bed, at the age of eighty, with a bellyful of wine and a girl's mouth around my cock.

So, a United States Congressman?

(9:35)

I don't plan on dying.

Having felt death knock at my door, I'm okay going any way.

Give me immortality, or give me death.

Second preferred death: Disintegration. Quick and easy.

I want to die in a fit of laughter.

High five, bro.

Flaming Marshmallow.

Obligatory:

Set to be released in July 2013:

Saving someone else's life.

Picture it. A beautiful girl is talking urgently on her phone, and accidentally steps in front of a speeding sports car. I jump in front of her, push her out of the way, and the car plows through me. I roll over the top of the car and then tumble to the asphalt, my bones shattered and my organs mashed to goo. In a haze of shock and pain, I see the girl run up to me and fall to her knees beside my broken body.

"Oh my god, you saved me!" She'd say.

"It... *cough* it was nothing." I'd struggle out.

Tears would start to stream down her cheeks, "I could never repay you, never."

"You could repay me by giving me one last kiss, one final moment of warmth before I pass from this world." I'd say. And she'd immediately lower her face to mine, and the last sensation I'd feel in this life would be the sweetest lips in the world pressed against mine.

(Camera pans out, violins play)

And then she goes on to cure all forms of cancer, because it turns out she's a genius biochemist and she's come up with a chemical formula that selectively attacks all types of tumor cells, and she was talking so intently on the phone because her lab assistant was asking her about the settings for the final round of tests they'd be doing. They had to get that experiment right, otherwise decades of work would go down the drain. In the end, the formula is successful, and cancer is eradicated. And it turns out a brief adjustment to the chemical composition also turns it into a cure for AIDS and it also dissolves cholesterol deposits in arteries. She goes on to be wildly successful, rich, and famous. She writes several books. But only at the end of her long and fruitful life does she write her own autobiography. And on the dedication page, apart from acknowledging her family and loved ones and mentors, at the very bottom it also says, To that mysterious hero, who saved me so long ago, thank you. None of this could have happened without you.

(Of course, given my luck, it's more likely I'd end up die saving some random child smuggler or something)

There's been an image going around on Facebook that struck a chord with me:

You know how that guy did that Red Bull space jump? I want to do the opposite. I want to die being shot into space.

Well that's good because at least 3 of us referenced the first book in this thread already.

Why only eighty? Do you really want to die young?

Not getting the point you are, hmm

In some awesome over the top Shonen style fight! ON THE BATTLE-FIELD! But a blow-job sounds nice too.

I wasn't sure if it was two or three references. After all, "heat death of the universe" is a pretty good stock answer for that question.

I query not the choice of death but the age that you choose. I, for instance, wish to live to one hundred plus and then be shot by a jealous husband.

Quickly. Without being aware of it until Death shows up to tell me "Alright that's enough, stop trying to go on with your life you're dead already."

The only thing I'm not sure about is if I want it to be the Discworld Death or the one from the Endless..?

You should watch the link in my post. It´ll explain.

I want it to be quick and I don't want to see it coming. Or in my sleep would work too. Hell, pretty much anything other than wasting away , losing my mental facilites, or in agony.

Dropping out of orbit in a perfectly aimed manner to use all my mass and momentum to aim a fiery punch at my most hated enemy while shouting "Valhalla I am coming!"

FnordBear , may I also suggest strapping yourself with loudspeakers with blare out heavy metal anthems as you deliver the Viking Punch of Fire?

Will this do?

"I'd rather die in a gun-fight, or while watching TV."

"Me too."

"In a perfect world I'd die in a gun-fight WHILE watching TV."

"Spoken like a true American little buddy."
