Every now and then I start thinking about the mortality that I hate to acknowledge exists about me, and think about death and dying. Not so much that I am afraid to die, or wonder what's going to happen after I die (I'm secure in that knowledge), but rather how it's going to happen.
I imagine most people want to go quickly and painlessly, and not be in some situation that their kin will someday see in a "Faces of Death" video or something. For me, I'd rather not die in a hospital bed, or at home... "peacefully in my sleep". I think I'd rather go in a more defiant, stylish way, something representative of the way in which I lived or hope to be, what better way in which to die?
Some of my prefered ways in which to take my bow and exit:
1. Fall into and drown in a vat of Jack Daniel's old time #7 Tennessee whiskey.
2. Take a bullet for the President, the Pope, my family/friends, etc.
3. Croak at a slot machine or table game in Las Vegas, with my drink in one hand and a cigar in the other.
4. Die of starvation/dehydration after freeping for too damn long.
5. Get beat up and die in a street fight with some Communist punk from Rage Against the Machine (and take the other dude with me, too).
6. Have my car blow up in my face.
7. Go out to the desert and wait, taking in the serene desolation of the Mojave, quietly awaiting eternity.
8. Die in battle defending my nation.
9. Throw myself onto my own sword (a la Marc Antony) if diagnosed with a terminal illness which is immeniently threatening.
10. Heart attack during sex.

OK, these are just a few of my own.
So how would YOU like to go out?
And no, I'm not asking for what you think happens after you die, I'm not looking for a religious or faith discussion, we can do that on another thread. Just want to find out how my Freeper friends envision or hope they'll take their final bow.

I can't detail it out for sure, but I know it would have something to do with a snootful of Glenlivet, and Shannon Elizabeth.

Die defending my family, my friends, my nation or my values, in any other situation I refuse to die.

Ed: That's no way for a man to die.
Frank: Well you're right Ed. A parachute not opening, that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine. Having your [you know what] bit off by a lamplighter, now thats the way I wanna go.

If I was being executed by injection, I'd clean up my cell real neat. Then, when they came to get me, I'd say, "Injection? I thought you said 'inspection'." They'd probably feel real bad, and maybe I could get out of it.

Close as I could come to that subject!

Hey do you have a big shiney head on top and a little dry one down below like the real Stone Cold?
To: VRWC_Member428
LOL, I had a feeling that one would come about eventually!
To: oceanperch
Well, no I don't. And I don't want to know how it is you happen to know that about the real Stone Cold, thank you very much!

This one was related to me by a friend, it is on the lines of "if you knew you had a cruel and painful terminal ilness, and it was beginning to get bad, and would only get worse."
On a cold clear night, put on running shorts and shoes, and put a 5th of your favorite whiskey in a day pack.
Run a few miles up a mountain road to the summit. Sit down and consume the whiskey while enjoying nature.
Lie on your back and look at the stars....forever.

I do not want to present at my death. I am looking for volunteers to go in my place.

One of the very few things I admired about Nelson Rockefeller is how he went out.
He was in the middle of sex with his [very] much younger "research assistant" and died with his boots on and pants off so to speak.
I think he was in his late seventies or early eighties, the old rascal.

AT my Lord Jesus The Christ's best use of my dying for His Kingdom and/or defending some defenseless poor souls in His Name and Love.
