A heroic last stand that'll be forever immortalized in schoolkids' textbooks?
And hopefully it'll include lots of aliens/zombies/monsters and very big guns, with everyone singing "Another Night" while firing double handed with automatic weapons.

Y'know, all of these heroic last stand things sound mighty interestin', but I would rather have one where I survive against all odds. :D![]()

I agree, survivage is generally preferred... just saying :)
So I departed, leaving behind a pungent smell of brimstone. Just something to remember me by.

That's the point. Survive many great heroic last stands, die peacefully at a nice old age.

Yeah, so technically our answer to the thread should be, "the best way to die is to die old".
Something 100+ would be cool. Though no suffering at that age.

My grandfather died old and he was always complaining about how all his friends were dead and how he wanted to go soon. I think he wrote his own obituary and planned out his coffin and stuff.nathanielandbartimaeus wrote:Yeah, so technically our answer to the thread should be, "the best way to die is to die old".

Oh yeah, loneliness too. That would be bad. Well, my grandparents didn't have to suffer from it because they all died early. I don't have any now.
And yeah, I too would love to see 3 centuries =D. That is 110 for me.

Three centuries? Would suck to die, a day into 2100, but I'd be 106. Would have to wait three months before my birthday in March.
I'd love to live forever in the body I have now, or perhaps the one I'll have in a few years.
Living to 110 isn't anything if you're a shriveled old bat.

"According to some, heroic deaths are admirable things. I've never been convinced by this argument, mainly because, no matter how cool, stylish, composed, unflappable, manly, or defiant you are, at the end of the day you're also dead. Which is a little too permanent for my liking."

My chosen death;
Parachute failed to deploy on a sky-diving expedition at age 109. Lived in three centuries. Still looked like a rockstar, until face met the ground.

Well... that's pretty awesome. Ya never known, bone enhancements may have come a long way, and people have survived (non-faceplant) landings before...

Looking at certain ageing rockstars, I'm not even sure a ~120mph intersection between one's face and the ground would prevent that.Lilith wrote:My chosen death;
