Author Topic: What is the Best/Worst Way to Die? Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-30-2004 05:33 AM                        Finally, a good thread! What would be the best and the worst possible method to die, do you think? Here are some I can think of: Worst -Drowning in sand. -Stuffed inside of a suitcase being tossed around by a gorilla. -Eaten alive by zombies. Best -Big explosion. -Spontaneous combustion. -Smashed by falling semi. I'll post more later as I think of them.  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 06-30-2004 05:43 AM                     I don't want to die drowning in a vat of bleach. I would like to die in my sleep.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 06-30-2004 06:53 AM                     Best: Desentigrate while approaching light speed. Worst: Bored to death.  |  IP: Logged Mike Fitzgerald Expert Film Handler Posts: 224 From: Castle Hayne, NC, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 06-30-2004 07:01 AM                     Every year around this time we have someone get stuck in a grain silo. That would be a awful way to die. Seeing everyone there trying to help you out and getting sucked in. It happened yesterday and they had to build a wooded box to place around the guys to dig them out it took hours to do.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 06-30-2004 09:02 AM                     I can't think of a "best", but being beheaded on television by that piece of crap over in Iraq seems to qualify as "worst".  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-30-2004 10:27 AM                        Worst - an electric chair with worn-out rectifier diodes? Also, jumping in front of high speed trains, which seems to be becoming a more and more popular form of suicide nowadays. There's a station about 20 miles north of me in the Vale of York which has now become so notorious for 'jumpers' (there are only one or two stopping trains a day, but expresses thunder through the platform at 100mph plus, hence it's an ideal venue) that they've installed CCTV cameras on the platform linked to the local police station. It can't be that bad for the people who do it (being hit by a 200 ton object at 100mph must be quick, if not clean), but for the engine driver, and especially the policemen who have to clear up the mess, it must be about as bad as you can get.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-30-2004 12:44 PM                     "nd the best way to die would be after " You mean the unique experience of coming and going at the same time  |  IP: Logged Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 06-30-2004 01:42 PM                     Carbon Monoxide poisoning while sleeping best way to die barring dying in your sleep naturally. Worst way to die? - watching some movie written by Akiva GOldsman , made by the spawn of Joel Shumaker and Nora Ephron(OK, yeah I know) on video and then flailing your hands in frustration knocking off the candle sitting on the table next to you, setting yourself on fire, then choking on the popcorn you are eating and still unable to switch the wretched movie off in your final moments.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-30-2004 01:56 PM                     The dying after sex thing reminds of that line from "Basic Instinct": "He got off after he got off." IMHO, there's not very many "good" ways to die: * Peacefully dying in your sleep from old age. * Anything where death is very instantaneous. There's lots of bad ways to die, here's some scenarios that give me the creeps. * Drowning in a submarine miles below the surface. * Car tunnel collapses, and you're not killed instantly. * Getting eaten by crocodiles. * Being buried alive. * Being burned at the stake. * Getting crushed like the Terminator in "T1". * Falling into an open pipe in the ground 100 feet deep, you get stuck and can't move and there's rising water.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 06-30-2004 01:58 PM                        I agree with Jeremy... during would be the worst. The best for me would probably be going bungy jumping, the cord breaks and I hit flat on my face from a thousand foot cliff.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-30-2004 03:57 PM                  The worse to me: * Having your head sawed off as Jeff mentioned. * Burning to death in a fire while still conscience. (I already know where I'm going for my final reward. I don't need a preview) * Being slowly squished to death during an earthquake or tornado. My "Preferred way": * In my sleep in old age. (Yeah, I know...I'm a wuss!) * Blown up by a bomb. * Shot in the head. (Since I live in LA, any of those are possible.) Jen: I've done much bungee jumping and sling-shot bungee... LOVE IT!

I ONLY commented cuz I need to up my post count!) >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 06-30-2004 04:27 PM                     I don't want to die of decapitation, drowning, or being crushed. Dying in your sleep is best but not too likely. In fact, I'll never die. I'm an immortal!!!  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 06-30-2004 04:34 PM                     Worst Ways to Die: Being crushed or suffacating slowly Having someone torture you While looking at porn on your friends computer Best Ways to Die: In your sleep While getting it on Spontaneous Combustion  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 06-30-2004 04:46 PM                     Worst: A Xenon bulb explodes in your face and the glass cuts your throat and you die. When breaking down a print, the platter becomes loose and slices you in half when it flies off. Drowing in anything: sand, water, oil, etc. Best: Peacefully, in your sleep. In the arms of the one you love. Getting knocked in the head, falling unconcious, and then never waking up. AJG  |  IP: Logged
