I can't remember the protagonist of the anecdote, or even where I read it, but there was an ancient Roman actor, a comedian, who performed at one of the annual festivals, and won the prize for his troupe. The winners had a banquet thrown for them, and the comedian entered, sat down and asked for a mug of hot wine, took off the winner's wreath, propped his mask up against a dish and put the wreath on it like it was his own head, then sat back in his chair and was still. Nobody noticed until his neighbour nudged him and told him his drink was getting cold.
So there's that: dying when you've just had a great triumph and even you don't notice your own passing.
Then again, the combined influence of Cialis and a woman 1/4 my age would be a joint favourite (when I'm 80 or 100 not now)

Rather die with a bang instead of just slippin' away because of pills.
I want to die saving someone's life. I thought about this a lot in Afghanistan. I know reading this sounds strange but I constantly thought of a grenade situation and I think if I couldn't kick that fucker I'd be on it. I know some of you will cry white knight but I truly believe "greater love hath no man than this: that he lay down his life for a friend." Grenade comes in my hole or little kid is about to get killed by a car I don't think I could stop myself Or that I'd even want to... I think that is part of being a man and being a protector. You should be willing to die for someone you love. Not anyone but there should be some people.
Unconvinced of my own mortality.

Giving a life for someone is a noble thing from more than a physical viewpoint. There is something else at work when a man does it. White Knights never intend to die or risk their lives for real.
Death in my opinion is just a door you pass through. Anyone who has experienced out of body travel knows that there is something beyond the physical. And the funny part is that most people could learn those techniques that give them proof of it. Still - life has to be lived in full here and now and what we think lies beyond matters little actually.

With a few close friends in an arena vs others. Mostly just want to die before I'm old and feeble and not laying on a hospital bed waiting for death from some health issue relating to internal organs.
Some of you guys crack me up.
War is not glamorous or cool, 300 is a fantasy movie.
Fighting is not glamorous either, have you ever been in a fight?
How many people die of Cancer, loads right. I am sure you have seen someone die this way, not a pretty sight is it.
One thing is for certain, many on this forum will die this way.
I want to die by not living a boring life.

I would like to die at the age of 95, shot by a jealous husband.

Hopefully from a bullet wound in a war battling the army of the SJWs, feminists, and the U.S Banking elite, on my hospital bed as I am watching the victory parade for the good guys on CNN.
