(Pick your poison) How do you wish to die?
Hey boys and girls, it’s that time of year again when the nights are longer, we get the Christmas blues, and realize that another year has dropped behind us. Not to mention the CC bills coming due in a rotten economy…so what is there to do, but off ourselves? Soooo, how would you do it (not that you would) but what would it be? Pills? Hose in the tailpipe? Flip-top head? And please, be honest…this is for science and posterity.

My plan is to die laughing. And I’m not kidding.
Quietly. Peacefully.
And hopefully after an amazing day spent with the ones I love the most.
Well, I’ll definitely be doing it clean and sober. I’ve worked too hard to get this way, and I won’t die a failure.
If I HAD to die (because I have a child and I’m a single parent – I would NEVER be selfish enough to off myself and leave her all alone) I’d make it quick and easy. A shot through the roof of my mouth, perhaps?
@Corporate_Avenger Thank you! I mean it’s either that, or going down in flames of glory doing something crazy and loving every minute of it.
I’ll probably die of some kind of cancer or major organ failure.
But if I had a choice. I’d want to go as quick as possible.
Whatever it was I would research it thoroughly since the slightest mistake could put you in a worse situation than if you had succeeded.
@dunkin_donutz – I think you mean “Whatever it was I would research it thoroughly knowing that a mistake could put me in a worse situation than if I had succeeded.”
.
Remember, this is about you…not me. I’m the scientist, you’re the patient…now get back on the table.
@Corporate_Avenger I’m going to assume you’re asking the question because it’s on your mind.
Renal failure or hypercalcemia. Painless, coma, death.
Death is almost always on my mind, because I was a dealer in the Big Suck. But I was spurred by a report of an increase in suicides in 2009. Probably due to the economy and our Dear Leader, THE ONE.
For anyone who needs it, you can make a free call to the national suicide hotline at 1–800-784–2433 any time, day or night. Or 1–800-SUICIDE. I think it’s good to be reminded of this number in threads like this. It’s never an accident when this topic comes up.
@dunkin_donutz – I called them…they put me on hold and I hated their elevator “hold” music
Fast and certain. Large caliber handgun to the head. Shotgun as second choice.
I would like to die doing something for a good cause…helping others..
no fires though. shit.
Ahhhhh, a flip top head for the Stranger. +5
Kids, I can assure you that I have no intent of offing myself, at least not until after the New Year…I have a date. Just curious about the morbid souls that might lurk about here. But thanks for the Hotline number and you are right…it is a good idea to put it out because the life you save just might be your own.
I’m going to OD on NyQuil, burritos, alcohol, and honey.
I’ll probably be so drunk and in a state of euphoria that I won’t even know I’m dying/dead.
@Allie lmao burrito and honey.
I’m with you on that one!
Drive a car into the sun. Figuring out how to do that would probably take up the better part of my retired years, if not more though….
@Allie Burritos and Scotch first. Then the pistol.
Jumping out of an airplane, without a parachute, and right into a meat grinder.
I want to amend my quip above. I wouldn’t try to kill myself. But, having seen many people die (you get that in medicine), I would pick those two entities as you simply drift off….
@Corporate_Avenger So weird. I was just about to ask a question saying “pick your poison,” only I was asking about drinks.
I almost died of alcohol poisoning once, and I don’t really remember any of it other than being wasted and then blacking out for a while. So if I were going to off myself, which I’m not, I’d choose to go that way because it wouldn’t scare me.
I’d down a handful of sleeping pills with a bottle of some sort of alcohol. Then I’d cut my wrists, lie back and quietly fall asleep while bleeding out. Relatively painless.
@Haleth – I have ESPN. I can tell what other people are thinking and I can pick up most major sporting events!
.
And I’ve had a lost weekend on alcohol, too. Ooof!
@Corporate_Avenger Shit. I’m going to go make myself a hat out of tinfoil so I can block out your brainwaves.
toaster in the bathtub style . . .pills and wrist cutting is so played out plus I think I’d chicken out taking those approaches.
to die alone may not be a pick but i know Its going to happen since my social skills are shit and hated by most.
@Corporate_Avenger Wow, total opposites. I can’t tell what people are thinking unless they write me a memo, in triplicate.
@pouncey I know exactly where you’re coming from. Just waiting for the right moment.
When we die, do we go to the great big frizzer in the sky?
@stranger_in_a_strange_land wait for what ive been waiting all my life and i can never seem to be around any good people. i hate myself.
I’m not around good people either but it doesn’t bother me as much I guess, I’m fairly conent in my aloneness. Not completely happy but . . .alright with it
@pouncey AS does that to you. A square peg in a world full of round holes. Other people have this magical ability to read what others are thinking, but we are blind to that. No matter how brilliant we are, we’re still misfits and outcasts.
As painlessly as possible and hopefully I was going when I felt safe, happy and ready to do so.
Maybe in my sleep…
@Haleth Probably just “lights out”, But maybe a chance, however slight of being reunited with beloved.
I don’t have to give this any thought at all. Sometime after my 100 th birthday, the circle of life will assert itself naturally, and that is that.
I’d want to be high as a kite, and die a sudden death from my house exploding. While having sex. On the roof. Under the stars. In my Batgirl costume.
I want to die in my sleep.
I want to slowly waste away to nothing and fight it every goddamn step of the way. I love a great fight, and by God, I don’t want to be cheated out of this one. I want the chance to tell my daughters how to handle damn near every possible bullshit story that’s going to hit ‘em. I want the chance to teach them how to spot bullshit with pinpoint accuracy, and how significant it is that they were not born with astroturf foreheads with WELCOME stamped on it.
I want the pending death to push me to teach them with urgency that I could never have in my daily life, how important it is to love mightily and embrace life with all the strength they can muster. I want to tell them how important it is to have character, and that you can’t fully have character until you let go of the damn past.
I want to make SURE they know what my mistakes are so that they never make ‘em. I want to sing songs with them that mean something – and record ALL of it. I want to sprinkle loads and loads flower petals on top of them while they giggle. I want to play This Old Man, and contemplate with them what the hell a knick-knack-paddy-wack is. I wanna have family hugs – often! Like we do now. But it’ll MEAN more then.
I want to love them as hard as I can, as long as I can. But after that, I am ready to go, baby. Because I tell ya, this ride has really sucked for me. In my last days, I wanna fucking LIVE! All the best life has to offer, condensed into a few months of everloving JOY. Man, what a way to go :)
@phillis THAT was awesome Phillis. Damn, your kids are fucking lucky to have you.
Now for me, ever since I was 18, I’ve had this premonition that I won’t live beyond 50.
I’ll prolly end of dying in a plane crash or something since it’s one of my biggest fears.
Perhaps my death will go down in history and I’ll be brutally murdered by my jealous lover or something.
Or maybe zombies will eat me.
If I had it my way though, I would die of a broken heart.
If I ever get married, I pray that I will outlive them so they’ll never have to grieve over their loss of me. If it works out according to plan, I’ll die simply because I can’t live without them.
Happened to my neighbor. I want to go out the same way.
This one is mine, i call it ’‘the piñata effect’’...
… stuffed full of candy and confetti and glitter and thrown off a tall building.
@pouncey Yep, a waste of IQ points. At least if you’re blind or deaf or in a wheelchair people understand. But when your brain doesn’t operate on the same frequency as the rest of the world, where things that other people don’t even notice bother you intensely and when the closest we can ever come to happiness is being totally alone, what’s the point?
@Vunessuh, you’ll probably be on a flight that was hi-jacked by zombie Taliban terrorists in turbans while you’re screwing your lover in the bathroom as your husband waits in the coach section.
Come to think of it, that’d make a pretty damn scary horror flick. The Talibans That Wouldn’t Die. We’ll get Al-Queda to sponsor it.
@phillis We’re writing that one next
jots down idea
Oh and we can’t forget the snakes. Must release the snakes on the plane. Fuck it, make it a bunch of hungry baby hippos. The snakes thing has been done before.
In the zombie ‘pocalypse, naturally.
Barring that, I’d like to die in my husband’s arms.
to quote a quote ” i would like to go like my dad did… peacefully in his sleep ,,,,, not screamming like his passengers.
I’d slam a handful of Viagra, (slow release) about 2 grams of Meth and throw down my honey until the ticker gave out.
I would like to die on the upstroke so I get one more coming down.
I agree with @The_Anonymous_Witch.: “I want to die in my sleep like dear old Grandpa, not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.”
Failing that, I suppose getting hit by a truck would be quick.
Oh noooooo!!! its summer here by us and just too much fun in the sun!!! Cant think of any way that I wish to die! (”,)
@Vunessuh. its just an old qoute hun ;-) i think @Dr_Dredd said it as it was originally stated though. but i think it was a bus ..??????????
Old age, peacefully, in my sleep.
i’d like to die doing something I really really love, I love driving, so If I die driving a ferrari I’d be happy I guess… driving a regular car, no…
Car crash. Going out doing something I love.
Wow, what a morbid question.
If I had my choice, I’d go a la Cleopatra and get a king cobra to bite my neck. Apparently, it’s painless and almost pleasant.
Aside from that, I’d like to go in my sleep so I have no idea what’s happening.
I wanna go doing something stupid. And then I wanna be nominated for a Darwin Award. No one is going to remember me otherwise.
@The_Anonymous_Witch You have a wicked sense of humor!!!!
@phillis Another brilliant answer!!! But why wait until you’re dying??? Technically we’re all dying now just by being here.
@The_Anonymous_Witch I don’t know if bus was in the original quote. I always heard it with “car.” :)
There’s this girl I just met with an awesome tat on her back. I wouldn’t mind dying with her sitting on me, facing the other way – staring at the artwork.
@The_Anonymous_Witch
All the ABers-“Lex watch out!!!!”
Lex “Zzzzzzz” CRASH!!!
LAWL!!!! I know we aren’t supposed to slam AB on here but Anon set me up for that.
While attempting something completely off the wall. =P
If it has to be another Ruby Ridge, so be it. Better to go out on your feet than on your knees. and I’m a much better marksman that Randy Weaver. I don’t want to be in armed conflict with the country I served for so long, and I don’t give them any reason to come calling. But if the Gestapo wants to kick down my door… aim for the head, they wear body armor.
In the middle of having great kinky sex.
