I predict heart attack, stroke or some stupid accident like walking in front of a bus.

I'm going to die?

WE ARE ALL STARS.

― Moby (ex machina), Friday, 2 September 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

Seriously though, I almost died eating a hot dog while I was driving tonight. Stupid shit!

― Moby (ex machina), Friday, 2 September 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

probably stroke or something alcohol related

Ripped apart by a roving pride of famished hyaenas.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 2 September 2005 05:41 (twenty years ago)

Denny Vertigo can perform at the funeral.

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Friday, 2 September 2005 05:42 (twenty years ago)

Alex, I thought you couldn't leave Manhattan because the island restores your ability to walk, much like Professor Charles Xavier in the Savage Land.

Did I ever suggest that it wasn't going to happen in Manhattan?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 2 September 2005 05:44 (twenty years ago)

daerest hyaenas

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Friday, 2 September 2005 05:47 (twenty years ago)

Roaring.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Friday, 2 September 2005 05:49 (twenty years ago)

Quietly, in my sleep at the ripe old age of 165.

― J-rock (Julien Sandiford), Friday, 2 September 2005 06:06 (twenty years ago)

A terminal case of boredom, with eventual suicide due to lack of anything else to do, a la Kierkegaard:

"So all people are boring. The word itself indicates the possibility of a subdivision. "Boring" can describe a person who bores others as well as one who bores himself. Those who bore others are the plebeians, the mass, the endless train of humanity in general. Those who bore themselves are the elect, the nobility; and how strange is it that those who don't bore themselves usually bore others, while those who do bore themselves amuse others. The people who do not bore themselves are generally those who are busy in the world in one way or another, but that is just why they are the most boring, the most insufferable, of all. This species of animal life, surely, is not the fruit of man's desire and women's pleasure. Like all lower forms of life, it is distinguished by a high degree of fertility and multiplies beyond belief. Inconceivable, too, that nature should need nine months to produce creatures like these which one would rather suppose could be produced by the score. The other class of men, the select, are those who bore themselves. As remarked above, generally they amuse others, outwardly occasionally the mob, in a deeper sense their fellow initiates. The more profoundly they bore themselves, the more powerful a means of diversion they offer others, when boredom reaches its zenith, either by dying of boredom (the passive form) or (the active form) by shooting themselves out of curiosity."

― D.J. Anderson, Friday, 2 September 2005 06:14 (twenty years ago)

How I'd like to die: in me sleep, old but still active (well er up to the dying bit anyway).

How I suspect I'll go: lung cancer, liver cancer, bowel cancer or something else debilitating and protracted to pay me out for my years of stupidity.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 2 September 2005 06:25 (twenty years ago)

or a heart attack mebbe.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 2 September 2005 06:26 (twenty years ago)

I keep having dreams about being on a plane when it falls from the sky in flames, some times I walk from the wreckage, sometimes I just wake up when it hits the ground. I’d rather go that way; it’s a little more exciting than a heart attack.

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Friday, 2 September 2005 06:46 (twenty years ago)

Jesus I wouldnt! Its funny - I dont think I fear the "what comes next?" bit of death, but I do fear dying horribly, because I fear pain, and fear itself, very much.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 2 September 2005 06:48 (twenty years ago)

you know that whole 'the only thing we have to fear is fear itself' bit doesn't make much sense, does it

― gear (gear), Friday, 2 September 2005 06:50 (twenty years ago)

I think too much about this as it is.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 2 September 2005 07:07 (twenty years ago)

So long as it isn't blackly comic. I'd hate to amuse my friends from beyond the grave.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 2 September 2005 07:18 (twenty years ago)

can you die from a sore tummy? cause it's 4:42 in the morning here, and i can't sleep because it hurts sooo much. wtf. i FEEL like i'm dying. arggggghhhhhhhh.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 2 September 2005 07:43 (twenty years ago)

kim, sounds like trapped wind.

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Friday, 2 September 2005 07:45 (twenty years ago)

Sounds more like the Death Rot to me - prognosis, 12 hours to live.

― , Friday, 2 September 2005 07:48 (twenty years ago)

well it's trapped something fierce cause i just spent 20 minutes with my head in the toilet, retching. who needs sleep anyway, right? i'll just keep telling myself that as i "get up" for work in two hours.

death rot - ah sounds about right. guess i should leave work early today.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 2 September 2005 07:50 (twenty years ago)

i think you should have the day off.

― David Merryweather Goes To Far (scarlet), Friday, 2 September 2005 08:50 (twenty years ago)

There's a road in Oxfordshire - the B4027, which runs from Forest Hill down to Islip - and I am convinced that I will die in a traffic accident on it one day. I have had such vivid premonitions about this (the exact spot where it will happen, and everything), that I avoid travelling along it whenever possible, even if it means taking huge detours.

― C J (C J), Friday, 2 September 2005 08:56 (twenty years ago)

way to go!

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Friday, 2 September 2005 08:57 (twenty years ago)

I guess I'd probably like to go via cancer or something like that so I could just off myself and end things on my own terms.

― Fushigina Blobby: Blobania no Kiki (ex machina), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

i'd like to be eaten by a dinosaur.

― latebloomer: not just indie rock but also rap, industrial and pop. (latebloomer), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

my life is so flippin dull I'm sure my cause of death will be no great shakes either.

I'd like to be fried by space aliens invading earth.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

in order of likelihood

1. heart attack
2. cancer
3. kidney failure
4. electrocution involving wet hands and light switches
5. murder (possibly involve ignition key tied to bomb, mafia style)
6. road accident (as a pedestrian)
7. road accident (as a driver)
8. untreatable virus
9. exhaustion due to excessive sex
10. obesity

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

I'd like lots of people around, weeping and wailing and me in a blue negligee and full make-up, expiring delicately and elegantly.

But I'll die roaring, I know it. It'll be embarrassing.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Friday, 2 September 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

or be beaten to death by a huge silverback gorilla

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 2 September 2005 14:00 (twenty years ago)

squished by an M1 tank

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 2 September 2005 14:04 (twenty years ago)

I'd like to die sandwiched between
ihttp://www.caraibes-webdo.net/Galerie/images/naomi_campbell1.jpg
and
ihttp://www.caraibes-webdo.net/Galerie/images/tyra_banks2.jpg

But will probably die here:

And it won't be pretty.

― Stone Monkey (Stone Monkey), Friday, 2 September 2005 14:04 (twenty years ago)

perhaps die in the loo, sandwiched between naomi and tyra

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

9. exhaustion due to excessive sex
ha

stone monkey, i'm guessing yours will be a fall from say.... a 9th floor building, or a tram accident.

just kidding.

9. exhaustion due to excessive sex

Does that mean: too much sex? Or does it mean sex that is decadent?
Either way would be good...Especially given my recent record in the copulatory arena.

Laughing.

In a hellish battle between the progressive, socially responsible and the reactionary, conservative fascists. In two years.

I predict I'll die of pancreatic cancer swiftly in 2052

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Friday, 2 September 2005 14:21 (twenty years ago)

i think it's more likely the decadent kind than the too much kind (otherwise the queue may get too long)

but where's this copulatory arena?!? is that like a sex colisseum?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 2 September 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

I have always thought that I'd end my own life when the going becomes too painful or unbearably dull.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 2 September 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

I will choke on my own words.

― pappawheelie II, Friday, 2 September 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

In a perfect world, the exhausted odalisques will conspire to kill me for a well deserved rest. In order to allay my suspicions, they will dispatch a gaggle of the most comely girls to seduce me and kill me in the throes of passion.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 2 September 2005 15:16 (twenty years ago)

Your search - "the most comely girls to seduce me and kill me in the throes of passion" - did not match any documents.

So much for dispatching that google.

― pappawheelie II, Friday, 2 September 2005 15:24 (twenty years ago)

I would like to walk into the sea at the point I can no longer be a glamorous old lady. However I'm guessing it will probably be cancer (old) or run over crossing street (young).

Then again, I have the occassional thought about becoming a war reporter, so maybe killed in the line of duty would be quite good.

Probably get hit by a bus, it's nearly happened half a dozen times already.

― xanux (dymaxia), Friday, 2 September 2005 17:43 (twenty years ago)

I will not die. At the last moment, steveblueski will send me one of his immortality pills and I will join the transhuman generation of immortals.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Friday, 2 September 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

If I don't die by accident, it'll probably be from skin cancer. Fucking Florida.

I will probably be involved in some Navy experiment to make a ship disappear...and I'll be fused to the ship as it goes terribly wrong.

― Carl Allen, Friday, 2 September 2005 18:24 (twenty years ago)

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

I have also been thinking about the fact that in some odd way people seem to enjoy chaos and disaster. It makes them feel alive or something. That too was a thread on ILX.

ILX: the place of mind-readers.
