I'd say drowning cause its the only way you could have an open casket and your body not be mutilated in some form!

Shot in the face...seems like the quickest, least painful way to go.

Nonsense, your face is to pristeen! Aren't u worried about not having an open casket wake !

Nope...more worried about not dying an agonizing death.

But that way you'd just look like a sultana in a very expensive suit (and casket).

How about sacktime with Spats? That's a bad way to go but as long as he doesn't "sacktime" all over your face you'd still have your open casket.

It's not in your list, but I really want to die by being shot in the back of the head while I'm walking down a street when I'm about 50 without knowing about it. Least painful way to go, and I'd never see it coming.

Otherwise I take your shot in the face option. Next best thing, except you have fear.

The train option.

I want to fall off a building!

Sure, you know you're going to die, but in a weird way it would be fun too.

Not really, but ok.

I've jumped off a cliff before. I know what I'm talking about!

CarrieMpls said:

Did you die?

minneapolisgenius said:

no, silly. But I did chip one of my front teeth. Dentists have offered to fix it before, but I think it gives me character. And I get to tell the story of how I chipped my tooth jumping off a cliff.

CarrieMpls said:

YOu jumped off a cliff to escape the after London Invasion, didn't you? I understand, Muse is a cruel traveling companion.

CarrieMpls said:

Interesting.

Do nine out of ten dentists recommend it?

minneapolisgenius said:

No, they usually just ask if I've ever thought about getting it fixed. And I say no. And that's the end of the conversation.

Anything but Number 8!!!!

I jus want somebody to come up behind with an axe and chop my head off

Drowning. I came close to drowning when I was about 5. I was in the pool trying to learn to swim. Water went up my nose and I couldn't breathe. Another time, I almost choked to death on liquid and I felt like I was suffocating. I ended up popping a blood vessel in my eye because of it. So at least I know what it's like to have to fight for air.

I couldn't imagine being burned alive. It's one of my worst fears....being trapped inside a building during a fire. What if it's a tall building too.....then you have the option to jump to your death, breaking every bone in your body with your brains splattered all over the street below or burn to death. Jumping would be suicide and I'm not sure I'd wanna go out like that either. What a horrible choice to make. I guess I shouldn't think about things like this all the time.

It's like that old joke:


"I'd rather die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa did ... not screaming my head off like the passengers on his coach".

AnckSuNamun said:

And yet you STILL choose drowning?!

Shot in the face

and I don't want an open casket funeral no matter how I die. Cremate me and scatter me in a beautiful place

minneapolisgenius said:

yeah....at least I'll know what I'm in for It's less gory too....no mutilations. Kinda weird that I adore gory slasher films.

Here are your options
1. Fire
2.Drowning
3. Falling off a tall building
4 Getting shot in the face
5. Getting hit by a train
6. Quartered
7. Stabbed Nicole Simpson Style

...those are all occupational hazards so I guess if I had to choose, I'd rather get shot in the face...quick, fast, to the point, and over in an instant...or so I'd like to think, so no one needs to debunk it.....I have an IRRATIONAL fear of drowning, so that would be the absolute worst way for me....

AnckSuNamun said:

Yeah, I love the gore as well. In stories anyway. I'm sure I'll die a horrible, bloody death though. It's just inevitable for me, since I've thought about how it would be so much.

NO ONE would want to die by fire. At least not if it wasn't from smoke inhalation. My sister and brother-in-law are firefighters and they have plenty of truly horrendous stories about burn victims and what happens when you burn alive. A lot are still fully awake and coherent for a while afterward.

I don't trust crematory places. I feel like there would be some ashes still left behind. Your urn will be missing an arm or something My distrust incresed ever since that story broke a few years back about the crematory in Georgia. The owner was too lazy and cheap to actually burn the bodies,so instead he'd just burn basic fire wood and bury the bodies out back in his yard. Hundreds of bodies were discovered. Imagine being the family and receiving basic ashes instead of the deceased member.
