Last words?
 

Obviously, one cannot know for sure, but what do you think, or want, your last words to be?

This can be the last thing you think, or say.

Me, probably: "Interesting" or "Weeeeeeeeeeee!" or "Wow!"

I think it would be cool to go out with a bang so to speak. Like standing near the top of a mountain and see a nuclear bomb go off in the distance, and see the explosion radius come toward you...Woosh!

This poses an interesting question.

Right now, my closest ties are with my family. I hope I can go happily and in their arms. In this situation, saying "I Love You" as my final words would probably make me happiest.

Should I go in some other manner, as unfathomable as it seems to me right now, I think "Wow, that was fun!" or some such.

"Either these drapes go, or I do." Wait, is that taken already? Damn.

"Oh really? *loooong sigh*"

"this is only the beginning"

To my son..."you're adopted".

Being completely realistic, my final words, or word in this case would be..."shit."

A paraphrase of Oscar Wilde's last words. Gazing at the wallpaper of the room he lay dying in, he sighed: "Well, one of us had to go." May well be apocryphal. It is also reported that, as he lay dying and sipping Champagne, he said "Ah, well, then I suppose I shall have to die beyond my means."

I like Spike Milligans epithet (not really last words). "I told you I was sick."

And then there's the ever popular "You're standing on my oxygen tube..."


My personal favourite were the real last words of General John Sedgwick, Union Commander in the U.S. Civil War. "Snipers? They couldn't hit an elephant at this distan..."

I kid you not.

Mr Mephisto

Apparently this is also the last word found on many airplane black boxes. Seriously.

I hope i'm saying something like, "Girls, you may both be 20, but I'm 111, so be gentle with me."

rrdj, you've come up with another good one. Happy Samhain, dude!

i'd much prefer that i did not have last words, since i'd be asleep

Thanks to Amy Jo van Bodegraven for some ideas.

"Rosebud...."

"The money is buired in the....gaaaagghhh...."

"I drank what?"

Ok, seriously. If I cannot say this when my ticket is about to be punched, then I want it on my tombstone:

The time is gone, the song is over
thought I'd something more to say

I always liked "Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees." But truthfully, it's hard to get worked up about my last words. It's the life that counts.

Not sure where I saw this, but I found it amusing...

"what does this button do?"

"Hold my beer and watch this."

Well in my rich fantasy life, I'd like to say something along the lines of "A POX ON THEE!" while making wild gestulations, but I somehow doubt that will happen.

"Now I'll know....."
or "I get to ride the waves once again....."

"Sure, pity me now--I'll see you soon."

Oh. Well. If you DOUBLE dare me...

Knowing the way that I tend to live life, my last words will most likely be something like:
"so then I what the heAARGGGH!"
or just "huh?!?!"
If I had a choice, I would write down my last "words" then actually say, "last words"

i sort of don't want any last words...rather go for a hug and a kiss

"I see Jesus"

It's hard to really say, a lot depends on the situation. But I'm assuming that it's a death that is forseen.

I'll just go with "Well, that was fun." or "Well, that sucked" depending on my mood at the time.

I'd like to go with something nice and memorable, that my kids (If I live that long) will be able to tell their kids someday, but realistically, it'll be, "Yes, I know how to do it, I've done it before. No, I won't get someone else to do it and I don't need help."

"What the....listen, I'll call you right back! This I gotta see..."

I'm not going to have any last words. I'm going to be raptured.

I can't really think of anything right now, but in years til I die (i hope)
I'm gonna try and think of something really witty and profound.

Last actions only concern me.

it depends on how i'm dying... if i'm lying in bed and only my wife (or a nubile young woman) is in the room, i think i'd like to say something like "i've always to die with my dick in your mouth."

if i'm skydiving and the chute doesn't open? i think i'll yell "splat."

or if i'm surrounded by my family in the hospital... "jesus? what's with the horns and all the red?"

"I'm not going to have any last words. I'm going to be raptured."

If you're serious, what makes you think you will be when the billions of people before you havn't been?

Besides, you'll still technically have last words.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Dylan Thomas

I'll see you again. But I guess it would be in context with how I died.
"Only death cures fools"

"...Make sure this bottle gets to the recycling depot so it can be turened into something useful, and Johnn?"

"Yeah"

"Keep the nickle"

Im going to part with the crowd as say

"I did my best, this is just a beginning to another tale, I love you.."*dies*

Nothing, just a light smile that's it.

"Boy, that tasted a little funny"

My wife swears I will die from eating the old leftovers.
