I've contemplated .... at times .... what my last words on Earth will be. An exercise in futility. For chances are I will die alone with none to hear them. And having no fame to speak of, even dying in the presense of another, my words will likely be forgotten as soon as spoken ... even to an attentive ear. My words would likely die with me. Better a grunt and a moan. And if someone should choose to erect a stone and engrave it, most likely they'd pick something that suited their tastes. I'd as soon not have the stone. Still ... I contemplate what others have said ... others who passed on that weren't unknowns. Famous last words:
Am I dying or is this my birthday?
~~ Lady Nancy Astor, d. 1964
Nothing, but death.
(When asked by her sister, Cassandra, if there was anything she wanted.)

I'm not sure but I'll probably go with some version of the standard- aarrggghhhh...gasp...gasp

I've seen a few people die. If only everyone could be so eloquent. My mom said something about wetting the bed.
Death aint all that....

That's depressing, Nash. My sincerest condolences.
-
I'll never forget my father's last words: "Son, is that thing loaded?"
-
Last words will probably be something like "AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHYABASTAR D!"
But going on my gravestone will be:
You should see the other fella

No squealing way your sober.
Just saying. I'f your going to argue I'm wrong, "OK" in advance, cuz i won't argue, but gaddamn.

Last words I heard from my father were...
"Someone answer the phone."
He was beyond delusional at that point and thought it was ringing. Wasn't even aware of the people in the room with him.
-
I hope I still have the same feelings about death that I do now. Ever since i was a kid, I've thought of it as the ultimate mystery and have wondered what's behind the vail. I hope when my time comes, I'm saying something like... "TALLYHOOOOOOO!!!!!"
-
when I die I want to die soundlessly in my sleep like my grandfather... Not like all those hysterical screaming sissies in his car. (old joke).
Stupidest one I heard was "how is my bike?"

Yup Creamo I was sober when I went to bed and it turns out I woke up sober this morning. You oughta try it sometime. :aok j/k bud.
I guess it was kind of shocking? I don't know... To be honest the whole ordeal kinda messed me up at the time, but I don't really see death as any big deal now.
Like lazs said, "how's my bike?", people say what they say when they die
-
I want either:
"I expected this, but not so soon."
or
"I told you all I was sick."
-
No idea what I might say but I don't want to die in my sleep, I want to see and know it's coming.
-
When I die, I want to be running around, literally. I want to die in mid air and hit the ground dead.
That would be funny.
-
My mom died in 1984. I was speaking to her on her last day and I told her the Cubs made the playoffs. (She was a huge Cubs fan). She smiled and said "That's great honey". That's the last thing I remember her saying.
-
"Watch this *****"
-
my last words will probably be "Here, hold my beer"
-
when my grandmother went she was dancing. the song ended, she sat down to catch her breath and died. not a bad way to go at all.
-
I dont know if i will have the strenght or the time to say something, but for sure I will think:
"not now, not now, give me more time, please"
Or maybe I will be so lucky in the future to wake up one day and think:
"ok, I am satisfied, from now on any moment is good."
But this is fantasy ;)
-
For me, I imagine my last thoughts will be something like:
"Those religious bastards better have been wrong."
:D

Ustinov's "Keep off the Grass" isn't bad either.....

The last words Arlo will hear are going to be "Hey are you Arlo?" They will be uttered by Mr.Black or his latest iteration at the 2004 con. Someone be sure to video it please.
-
"**** this **** I am out of here!"
I could die with that;)
-
nash... In all fairness... I was holding part of his brain when he said it.

fancy deaths you guys have seen.
When my grandma died, there was no sound she was not able to speak cause the stroke disabled her ability to speaking.
When my granpa (my dads father) died we did not hear a single word cause he was laid into a respirator.
Dying is normal but dont fancying it it kinda suck, we all have to go some day but dont make it like a rose-red happening it just happens and usually with no words like described over.
