If you have to die dramatically, how would you go?
It's verboten to answer "having sex" -unless there is an unusual twist in the tail (:shock:) that leads to your demise (and makes us laugh).
(This thread inspired by the stingray stab-through-the-heart death of Steve Irwin "the crocodile hunter").
What do you love doing so much that if there was an afterlife, you wouldn't be pissed off to find that it killed you?
Electrocuted whilst playing guitar - but as I play acoustic thats not going to happen. Probably be knocked into the path of a big truck by some miserable old pensioner on a mobility scooter and flattened whilst motorists cruise on by talking on their cell phones and motorcyclists in flip flops and baseball caps swerve in between the slowing cars whose occupants are rubbernecking my demise, or something like that. roll
I'm thinking maybe death by parents who have only one child and take the whole thing way too seriously....... perhaps suffocation by duct tape or stabbing by a weapon made wholly of duct tape.....
Death by chocolate . . . .no maybe a G&T overdose
Seriously?
I think we all wish for a painless death, but as I look around at my peers dying of the various age related problems, it's not so much how but when we go.
I see more and more people slowly dying from either Parkinsons, Altziemas or some other disease that robs them of their dignity.
I remember seeing a movie "Soylent Green" some years back. It was Edward G Robinsons last movie. His character had decided his time had come. Amongst all the chaos of a future New York there was this one building that housed a euthanasia room where you were made comfortable while music and videos of your choice was played while a lethal injection slowly put him into a sleep from which he would not awaken from.
Thats the way I would like to go.
Ah, but in this thread you have to die dramatically, see. roll
(dramatic death can be pretty instantaneous, you know. Even if violent, they may even be pain-free, and furthermore you don't have the mental anguish leading up to an expected demise.....)
...or harpooned by a streak of frozen pee falling from the sky grin
I would imagine I'll be long finished playing when its time to shuffle off but if not, I'd quite like to snuff it immediately after scoring the winning goal in an important footy match.
That said though, bit mean for my team mates to have to deal with that right after. We were all walking round in shock the other night when one of our lads tore his anterior crucial ligaments so a death would probably not go over well!

Not trying to sound horrible but do you think this has anything to do with your age and how many friends you have seen die?
Or have you always been this way?
I'm going to have to think about the dramatics before I answer :grin:
Maybe it has something to do with how close to death you've been, either yourself or a loved one. Death never bothered me, until I tried it recently, I went off it immediately. It's a slow and usually painful process.
Like Keith, I don't want any dramatics, i don't even want to be aware of it. I just want to be here one minute, gone the next, preferablly without any pain whatsoever, and as sex is ruled out, I guess champagne and chocolate will have to substitute. There you go, a freak accident, I'm eating chocolate cake, opening a bottle of champagne and fell my worst enemy with the cork, who falls off a cliff or into traffic and I die of enthusiasm and a lack of guilty conscience. lol

No it's your age that seems to be the problem.
You are the one that posted this morbid subject. Getting close to that change?:smile:

what :???: I didn't start this topic but I was interested in your reply to not being into the dramatics. Considering you were the one that brought up friends having died I didn't want to just presume by putting two and two together. why - because I've noticed a change in both our parents regarding dying, and I believe one of the reasons is that over the last few years a couple of our aunts and uncles have died and I know they found it hard even though my parents were still very matter of fact about it. It's their joking side that is disappearing. But then, I know my mum has been through a lot and so has dad having to watch her.
Annie, I can totally understand where you are coming from. It's interesting, though, because my mum has been told that if her aneurysm goes in her head it will kill her and she won't know anything about it so it would be like one minute you are there and the next you are not. But both her and dad have a hard time with this fact. I'm not sure if it is because last time one went pop she was in such unbearable pain that she doubts what the doctors tell her. Or whether it is knowing that this is what will happen and it is a depressing thought.
