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."

Gimme That Old Time Religion - PAGAN FOR LIFE!

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

"A dying man can co nothing easy." -Benjamin Franklin

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.

I love you.

hmmm- some more options:

"Now, that's the ticket...."

"Make sure you change my underwear"

"See you on the other side"

"it's like climbing the rope in gym class...."

Given the number of women I've been with that end up being married, mine will prolly be "Who the hell are you?"

Someone I work with said the following as he was leaving a biker bar last night:

"Would someone move that fucking bike!"

Those were almost his last words.

The horror! The horror!

That's not Dylan Thomas's actual last words.

They were:

"I've just drank 17 straight whiskeys. I think that's a record."

well depending on how life pans out, it will be "Thankyou....." or "Gee it took long enough...."

anyone knows how elvis went? or did he spontaneously combust from one too many peanut butter sandwiches?

OK, I'll go ahead and make your day.

I've got no regrets.

Mine will probably be "Hey y'all, watch this!"

Don't judge me too harshly.

"So... that's the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything..! Fuck, that was funny!"

"I hope death is better then life, Love you all"

"I'm feelin' lucky."

"Oh shit, this is gonna hurt." said in a very calm manner. Or atleast I'll be thinking that.

Upon meeting everyone in the afterlife(whatever it may be):

"Oops, my bad. Sorry"

"Remember me... as a leech on society... gahh..."

"So, like... how many of these do I have to lift?"

"I just landed a 540 bitchin' Rodeo! wooh!... whoa... what's with all the angels?"

"Hold your lighter to my ass, I want to see if I can fart flames"

Honestly when I was in a fairly serious car accident, if I would have died, my last words would have been "OH SHIT--", and my last thought while the accident was just about to happen was "whys this taking so long?"

A few
"what doctor? i have how long to live?"
"i leave everything to Santa"
"No you don't have to ground yourself"
"Wait, you said the red wire right?"
"Hey look i'm better"
"Hey that dog has rabies"
"This isn't a gram this is only half a gram"
"duck, for what?"
"who needs a seatbelt i'm only going to the store"

But seriously if i could get to say anything right before i died i would say
(in an english accent) "i'm not wearing any pants today it's too hot that's what i say"
-that line is in the extras of a movie called Bat Thumb said by the butler

depends on the situation...if it's in a lab..."oops"

"Thank you God. Thank for for my life."

God is more an idea than a person. I just want to thank that person, that event, that change that allowed me to live.

"Aaaaaaand scene."

"I hope my cellphone gets reception out there---CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?"

"Lates."   

Want:
"Good evening Mr Bond, I've been expecting you..."
"Hahaha! I got away with it all and now there's not a damn thing you can do about it!"

Think:
"Nonono! Not THAT one!"
"Don't wave that thing at me with the safety ca..."
"For God's sake, woman! I know what I'm doing!"

if i have kids i'll hopefully be a "cool" dad and my last words will be...

"hey kids, watch this"

I'd love that one... plus I really want to know what the hell 42 means in the right context.

Of course, there're others I'd like, such as:
"This round's on me!"
"Carpe Noctem"
"Five bucks says I know for whom the bell tolls."
"Dust in the wind..."
"I'm not going anywhere 'til you pay me back that hundred bucks from the last roadtrip."
"L'enfern, c'est les autres."
"Come quick or you'll miss the show."
"Well, boys... it was a helluva ride. Gotta do this again sometime."
"As far as I'm concerned, when I go, the world goes with me."

Realistically, I'm gonna end up with something like this:
"Damn damn damn damn damn..."
"That's it?"
"Cry about this and I swear I'll fucking kill you. This is my death, let me do it my way."

That one just killed me. :D
