My recent post about nonstandard funeral wishes got me thinking. And it's something most of us have thought about from time to time. How are we going go shuffle off this mortal coil? Some people want to go peacefully in their sleep after a long and fruitful life. Not me. I'm a blaze of glory kind of guy. And I like coming up with new and even bizarre ways that could happen. But I'd like to hear other people's ideas on the subject as well. And you don't have to limit it to me. Feel free to kill off other members of our beloved site. I'm not gonna set down rules for this, but I do have some requests.
1. Be creative.
2. Try to make it at least vaguely possible. Getting killed by Luke Skywalker in a light saber duel is not possible. Getting killed by Mark Hamill in an actual duel, while unlikely, is at least possible. See where I'm going? Right. Keep it in the real world. No matter how improbable, it should at least be possible. (An added bonus to this is that it keeps someone from going the overdone and trite vampire route.)
3. Don't be obvious. Gravekeeper killed by hat-crazed Nunavutians or Argabarga run over by angry people who've been towed are just two freakin' obvious. Ditto me and someone pissed at me carding them. These are too easy, and as I said, I'm looking for some creativity here.
Finally, there is one method of my demise that I'm absolutely going to forbid, and that is my being fucked to death by Anna Paquin and Keira Knightley in a crazy drunken ménage a trois. I'm forbidding it because I'm hoping that's how I actually go.
So have at it. Let the killing begin!
