Who will you die with?
Is that too morbid a question? It sounds like a plane load of lobbyists just went down in Alaska. We generally don't choose our time of death but do choose who we hang with...
Alone, no question.
Of course, it's hard not to be "at work" when a tragedy strikes at that work, as these people on the plane were "at work."
That'll take a crazy person with a semi-automatic, I'm in the prime position for such a shooting.
Still, though, alone.
Make sure you leave a stack of hand-scrawled poems on the table.
Before or after I feed my cats?
Don't worry, your cats will feed...:yeldead:
I'm sorry, I don't get the poem reference. Maybe I seem too melon collie in my answer, but when a middle-aged woman has no children it's a huge possibility that her last hours will be alone.
Not the way I'd like it, but I don't see anything changing any time soon. It's really just the way it is. I'm a bit of a loner a lot of the time anyway (when I'm not a raging social butterfly) so it seems fitting.
:)
I was referencing the thread about suffering or being quite dead for artistic recognition. Sorry about your collie today, keep your chin up kid.
Ah, yes. It's true. We've come full circle, as I said earlier I was the Vincent Van Gogh of...well, you know.
I'm just all kinds of collie lately. Mid-life crisis or something. Chin is up.
It's an interesting question. My mom was with my grandma when grandma passed away: I think mom wanted to be the only one there at that moment because it had always been those two struggling against the world, when my mom was growing up. It was important to her, I think.
For the good of mankind, I would be willing to die with Bin Laden, Limbaugh, Palin, The Pope, Kevin Costner, UG, Bill O'Reilly, The Dallas Cowboys, and Lady Gaga. Round 'em up!

Now THAT is a hero!
*swoon*
Just don't let Costner be all lamenting his impending death. I couldn't take his monotone monologue about seeing the light and crap.
Yeah, give him and Palin one microphone and two knives.

Isn't that a porn site?
Thought provoking question. At first I would say I want my family with me, but I'm not sure if that is selfish of me or not. Perhaps it would be good to say all those goodbyes ...
On the other hand perhaps it would be better to get hit by a train or taken out real quick without the fore-knowledge of the impeding event.
I hope to die with the wife/girlfriend of a jealous husband/boyfriend.
But, it'll prolly be alone.
Oh alone alone alone. Not in the dark though and I think if I could choose it'd be a bright dawn or morning. But as we have no say in the matter I just hope above all I'm not in a hospital.
I don't know who they are but I'm taking as many of them as I can when I go.
I hope I die in my sleep, just like Grandpa.
Unlike his bus passengers....
I will probably go with all the other drooling , diaper wearing bitches during a hurricane flood :eyebrow:
Everyone dies alone, unless other people die at the very same second like in a plane crash. It just so happens that when you die alone there may be some living people about.
Now that' we've made our plans, let's set a date!

I'm so glad I went back to read this thread... I almost missed this one.
Very good !!!
Pretty funny. I missed it.
I get to see many various ages of people die in my work. It is really not all that spectacular. All the bits just stop working for various reasons.
It is the reactions of those who are left behind that are most interesting and humanistic. We all will experience it, death and the death experience.
Now that' we've made our plans, let's set a date!
I'll bring the kool-aid!
I'll bring the undertaker
Liquor too, we're gonna need lots of liquor.
Why is Spex posting pics of my other half?
Shawnee, girl, you and me should go together -thelma and louise style -right after I've dealt with these over-nerfed brats who are stuck inside with too much energy due to weather......
Drivin' around (in the convertible) drinkin' and shootin' people. I like!
:lol:
OK, I've dealt with the brats. although I can still hear them.... the further away i can get the better....
who's getting the convertible? I have beer and paintball guns......
I have a convertible! We're all set. Now, where's the nearest canyon?
who gives a fuck about nearest?...... let's go for the mariana trench...
Who? An oceanliner full of US politicians hopefully.
Lookout, do you not care at ALL about the environment??? ;)
I'll go with 6 billion others, with me standing on a hill top watching the asteroid come in. I'll be pissed if it hits the other side of the planet.
who gives a fuck about nearest?...... let's go for the mariana trench...
OK, I'll drive, you navigate, because I have no idea how to get there!
Fine, I can be Thelma.
But I'll do most of the shooting and drinking. Safety first, you know. :lol:
Works for me, I hate cleaning the damn barrel. I'll only drink when you're holding the wheel.
Dude, I just realized: I'm the one who gets to sleep with the young Brad Pitt substitute. Wooohooooooooooo! :jig:
Whatever floats your boat, honey :lol:
Hey, I'm a lonely middle-aged woman...give me a break.
And I'm so not usually about looks but he was teh hawt in that movie!
;)
with my bike.
FTW - My mountain bike buddy and I have one particular climb that provides a stress test away from all medical support. My preference would be to blowup on a downhill and get brained.
Just thinking here of the couple of times when I flipped myself over my handlebars inadvertently. Although I remember picking myself up off the road, I have no recollection of flying through the air-if I was going to die on/with my bike, that's the moment I'd choose.
Who has watched a human die, right in front of them? under any circumstance? please describe.

While I was working in the hospital - ususally very old and sick folks. Never dramatic.
gunshot to head. quick and final.
beheading in KSA. also quick and final.
Just make sure you hit the brain stem. I have cared for to many assholes who just shoot the cortex and lived for hours. Esp teens, shoot the brainstem dude and stop torturing your parents....
Wasn't a suicide. .40 between the eyes tends to finish things quickly regardless of the angle.
Well I wish that were true. I have seen more than one in the ER with the top of the head off wide awake.... and a pair of tortured parents. Reality trumps fantasy in this case.
Merc! Why you gotta go and ruin it for us?
Just keeping it real dude. Not trying to bring down the house.
Just realised Shaw & Mons made a death pact without me.
Hey! This is the remake, it really doesn't have to be faithful to the original.
There's an extra passenger in this one, okay.
I'll be the comic relief. I'm not saying you're not funny, but I have the body type least likely to appear in a Hollywood movie (being white I mean).
I want to have some sex before I go too. So there can be a scene in which we all get laid. Separately if you like. I suggest we come across a male cathouse somewhere on the outskirts of a town. Our mature wisdom and wisecracking really appeal to the young pieces of meat we've paired off with, and they genuinely plead with us not to go, mapping out an alternative ending where we take over as madams and keep the boys in line. Sadly we decline, with a poignant moment as we drive away saying, "Well... maybe we should turn back...? Nah!" and we all laugh.
If either of you doesn't want to have sex with a young stud you can have a heart-to-heart with one instead, where he admits he's gay and in love with another of the "boys" and you convince him to give up the lifestyle and find true love somewhere where he doesn't have to live a lie.
Not that I've thought this through or anything.
