Firstly, I'll say that I have made this thread after another one I read on another forum - I have, however, rewritten it. All the quotes I did not myself compile to a list, but the guy who made the thread did, and I give him the credit, Rico at the Frihost forums.
Secondly, I admit this is a somewhat gloomy topic, but I feel we should take it slightly lightly.
If you got the chance to say your last words out loud - i.e, you didn't get killed in an instant my some drunk driver, etc - what would you last words be?
<begin other thread copy>My favorite famous last word quotes are those of individuals condemned to die by execution. I imagine that at a time like that whatever you say is going to be profound, especially if you fluff it and say something totally arbitrary. The winner of all time doff things to say just before you leave this mortal coil is that of Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France. She said “Pardonnez-moi, monsieur." Approaching the guillotine, she unintentionally stepped on the foot of her executioner.
This is a good one, trust the Irish. Erskine Childers - Irish patriot -1922 - firing squad. “Take a step forward, lads. It will be easier that way.”
This must be an American. Francis Crowley – 1931 – electric chair. “You sons of :censored:. Give my love to Mother.”
It absolutely amazes me how some guys keep their sense of humor right until the bitter end. James French -1966- electric chair. “How about this for a headline for tomorrow's paper? French fries”
This one’s kinda poetic, gotta love a guy that’s good with words. Robert Alton Harris -1992 – gas chamber (nasty way to go). “You can be a king or a street sweeper, but everyone dances with the Grim Reaper.”
<end copy /?>
So, what would you say?
Sad enough, some might say, my life revolves around a computer. Some time I might even evolve 95 extra fingers so I can type at lightning speed! Anyhow, most of my friends I have never met, but they are the only real good friends I have. I have one guy, who I meet every two-three weeks, but that's it. I am on my own. Whatever, lets not get into all that ;D
So, my last words would be something along the lines of this:
"Tell my family I love them. <insert more personal stuff here /?> Please tell the guys at HTMLforums and the Gentoo-uk/dk irc channel how I died. I love you all, good<DEAD>"
So, errr, yeah! That's the thread! Post your possible last words. If you feel this is too sickly to talk aboot, go to Word Games, were we are currently squashing the Ferret under my foot :)
