1. Peacefully in my sleep, not crying and screaming like the passengers
in my grandfather's car.

2. Backseat of a Stolen Lambourghini with a hooker during a police chase on fire
that about covers everything.

3. Of natural causes, preferably during old age....
And of something painful enough to make dying something to look forward to, rather than fear...

4. While having sex. How come THAT wasn't choice?
I bet THAT option would get a lot more votes than "while being tortured" does.

Just sayin...

13. Because in any new order, there are so many choices.
Convince me your late-entry choice will happen.

Convince me of a lot of other things too...

22. But, but, but....
Have you considered the unrecoverable trauma to whomever you were boinking at the time?

25. Oh TELL me a man couldn't find a way to brag about it...
I'll grant you, the type of man I'd be in bed with would hopefully feel bummed at my demise--but ya just can't tell...


:evilgrin:

Let the gender wars commence...

5. So dying of old age in one's sleep is not an option?
I'd prefer to die in my sleep, completely unaware of my demise. I'd rather it not be by violence, but if it is, I'd rather no one else get killed or injured during it and that the individual was not someone liked or loved by anyone who I was close to.

27. Because I haven't fathomed those two possibilities... they seem far less realistic too.

15. One punch in the face from each woman that...
I have given the best orgasm of their life to.

This will virtually guarantee that I will live forever.

16. Having a heart attack on "Big Thunder Mountain Railroad"
at Disneyland.

Also acceptable would be: Space Mountain, the Matterhorn, Splash Mountain, or the Indiana Jones ride.

17. In bed, with my lover
giving me one last big sendoff before I go. :evilgrin:

And when I do go I don't wanna be playing no fucking harp for eternity either. ;-)

18. An overdose of some psychedelic drug while riding a giant rollercoaster.
when very old, and diagnosed with a terminal illness. First of all, it would be the best place in the world to be high, and then my dying brain, depleted of oxygen, would stretch my final moment of life into eternity, creating the illusion of eternal heaven in the form of being high on a rollercoaster... forever.

28. Morphine Overdose when I'm 95
I want the doctor to take me out when I get that life-ending illness by injecting enough morphine into me to make it pleasant, and deadly enough to make it fatal.
