Was just reading about Steve Jobs' last words...
They were simple and profound. He looked at his family members gathered around him and said "Oh Wow".

Lotta class there. Simple. Heartfelt.

I told my wife I want my last words to be "Turn me over, cuz I want the Repubs to kiss my ass!"

No class.. but heartfelt feeling.

1. Thanks for the chuckle, Bigmack.
Heartfelt for sure. Don't do that too soon, okay? I have me lotsa good memories of Kingston, one having to do with a ferry boat!

Best wishes.

2. Not exactly. He wasn't looking at his family members when he said
OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.

According to his sister, he was looking past them.

3. I want mine to be, "My god... it's full of stars." That would be awesome.

But more than likely, it will be, "Baby monkey... baby monkey... riding backwards on a pig, baby monkey..."

I want to face the end with my eyes wide open.

8. What a way to fuck with humanity for hundreds of years to come...
Or at the very least, the iCophants.

That Steve... quite the character he.

9. Not "Oh wow" - - - "iWow"
I just hope my last words aren't "Oh, shit" or "what's this button do?"

10. I suspect mine will be something like "It's cool - that was just a dolphin!"

11. I'm from Arkansas, so mine is likely to be:
"Hey ya'll, watch THIS!"

12. Over the years, I've observed that people from Arkansas can be EXTREMELY creative,
so I really want to be there (at a safe distance) when you say it. I'll even hold your beer... :)
