One's own death is not a pleasant subject to think about. I always tell Elena that the best way to die is to make beautiful love with someone that you care deeply for. Then you fall into a peaceful sleep where you never awaken again. Elena does not agree with me on this point.
Yesterday I was watching the new Cosmos series. They were talking about the famous British mathematician and astronomer from the 1600's Edmond Halley. Halley's comet is named after him. In his final moments of life, he drank a large glass of red wine. He then fell off into eternal sleep. Now that's another great way to leave this life!

Rockefeller did it better. Boffing his 20 something "executive assistant" while "working" on an "art project" at his townhouse. Go big.

I dunno, I'd like to go like my grandfather, peacefully in his sleep. Not like the screaming passengers on his bus.

Okay, all jokes aside, I want to go when I'm 70 (and my wife hates it when I tell her when I'm going to die) because if I haven't done it by then ... well, I'm pretty much not going to do it. I'm not impressed or happy with the life of people that I've seen that are past that age (something about living life to nap, just doesn't appeal to me). And, yeah, I would LOVE to just go to bed one night and not get up the next morning. All that said, I will probably live till I'm 87 and have a long, drawn out painful death in the end. Yeah, getting old and contemplating death pretty much suck.

From what I've heard and read, the secret to having a happy old age is to never retire, just transition to doing work you love.

I've leared and have promised to never ponder how I would like to go.

My father God rest his soul. Always said as far as I could remember..

"When I go, I want to be walking down the street and have it just hit me BAM! just like that and it be over. I don't want to languish in a hospital or nursing home.

He got Alzheimer's and spent about 5 years in a home before he finally gave up the ghost.

Nah, that's just propaganda brought to you by corporate America.

Next they will convince you that volunteering full time as a Walmart shelf stocker for no pay or benefits is the path to old age bliss.

When the time comes that someone has to change my Depends, this is how I'm "checking out"...

To each their own. Personally I'd rather be like this guy and stick around with my team of - I guess -personal assistants?.

Sluts in Waiting.

They have laid out their serial divorce strategies and just sit waiting in their pussy webs for rich dumb sticks.

People suffer plenty before that. It's ok: it's just life.

Dying is not such a big problem: 1 min you're here, the next you're gone.

It's only hard to let go.

Especially if you own expensive real-estate.

And if you know it will go to your millennial children.

Well the trick then is to not get legally married.

Time to die can take from microseconds (massive, violent explosion) to several minutes (heart stopping to irreversible brain damage), and perhaps longer depending on how you define death.

Beaten to death at age 80 by a stadium full of jealous husbands, all with ample reason to seek my demise.

I think you mean Stiff Assistants.

I've been in and around the nursing home recently - dad I think is going the dementia route. Going again later on this afternoon. I thought going to the laundromat late at night was depressing...

I intend to sail off into the sunset towards the Arctic with a carboy of Laudanum. I got mild frostbite before and the sleepy wierdness you feel when you're deadly cold is a helluva lot better than a slow painful death or wasting away for years.

Tossing aside the M134 after the last of the 25 million rounds of belted ammo is exhausted and throwing myself with nothing but a commandeered scimitar into the barking throng of starving cannibal neonazis to fight to the last, plowing through the hoard, laughing at the howls of agony and the ring of steel bouncing off of bone!

Get yourself on a terrorist high priority kill list and let the taxpayers do it for you!

I used to work in the medical industry and spent a lot of time in nursing homes.... It's really SAD....

I would think that the odor would be the worst thing about that.

smell of urine

The smell of dried urine, suppurating bedsores, and despair.
If there is anything to "Aromatherapy" the atmosphere in these places must contribute to the feelings of helpless rejection.

Nice, the federal taxes I pay will go to something worthwhile!! You got the phone number for the CIA???

Oh I'm sure if you say the right things into your cellphone they'll find you...

At about $.43/rnd for 308 Winchester AFs last stand fantasy has already run up a bill of at least $11M USD.

But I suppose you can't take it with you....

And at 3000 rounds a minute, that's almost 6 days of non-stop firing.

That's a lot of neonazis cannibals.

Steven Wright:

My girlfriend asked me, "If you could know when - and how - you were going to die would you want to know?"

I thought about it for a moment, then said, "No."

"Okay," she said. "Nevermind..."

31   futuresmc   2014 Mar 29, 5:25pm  

Personally, I'd prefer quick and unawares. Perhaps being blown up in a massive explosion without ever realizing I was in the slightest danger.

I just want the Two Minute Warning, per George Carlin.
