Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How Do You Want To Die?

A two story fall from the bedroom window of the cutest fox in town. Make my reputation and ruin hers.

Opposite for me...I just wanna wake up dead one day..

I always thought that death caused by something stupid you did would suck. Like walking into a grain bin or getting caught under a tractor. Or getting pulled into a piece of equipment when you stuck your hand in. Getting old to the point where everyone is relieved you're dead might be the best for all concerned. It'll give your principal a long time to earn money if nothing else.

Been a few mornings i woke up and wished i was dead!

I do not know how or when I will meet my demise. BUT, my obit pic has already been distributed to the proper parties for deployment.



( Another disturbing use of altoids)

That might be the best episode in the series.

When I wrote this:

In the street, in a pile of hot brass, with primary and secondary smoking and empty, knife in one hand, hawk in the other, and covered in the blood of my opponents piled around me. With an extra hole in my head.-

That is what I had in mind. Always envisioned the "opponents" as commies of one stripe or another. Don't have enough enemies for the scenario, otherwise...

Oh!

Ditto, don't want to see it coming.

Knew a wonderful old gent several years ago, one of the warmest and most personable folks I ever met. His end came while riding shotgun in a Toyota Hi-Lux when the driver ran a stop sign and drove right out in front of a beet truck going 60 mph on US 95. Folks that know what a fully loaded sugar beet truck looks like will know that it was instantaneous. He had started to have some health problems and I like to believe the good Lord called him home with no pain or advance worry as a final reward for a life well lived.

I'd like to get deathly sick, linger on for a few weeks and then get well.

My mother in law had a mild heart attack and we all came and told her that she scared us and we loved her and whatnot. The next morning she had the big one and died eating breakfast.

Ask me after they've handed me my first great-grandchild. I'll let you know.

I'm going to drag myself off someplace secret in a blizzard with a bottle of something. I don't expect to die in my sleep, and I'm not going to lay around and wait, either.

Kicking and screaming covered in someone else's blood, just like I came into this world.

we believe we manage everything on this urth until it comes to our death.

at that point, mostly we allow nature to take it's course. which it does.

wonder if ever we'll get to the point of managing death?

i kinda doubt. there's too much ego involved?

if i die in my sleep, i won't be able to ask for forgiveness for some things.

I suppose I'd like to go peacefully and quietly in my sleep some night when I'm well into my 90's. That's the way my father went except he was only 57 and suffered from worsening emphysema for about 5 years. Of course, whenever I hope for something the fickle finger of fate seems to point in a different direction.

Huntsman has to right....

"if i die in my sleep, i won't be able to ask for forgiveness for some things."

Sure you will, if you ask every night before you go to sleep.
