I hope i can die in as awesome a way as this guy.

I thought dying drunk with no knowledge of it would be a good way to die, you know, like on your 80th birthday drink twenty pints of ale then choke on your own vomit or something.

But this is cooler. I am very proud that here in Britain people still die in jousting mishaps, but thats beside the point..

What do you think would be a better way to cash in your chips?

**The Dreadnote**

It says he died doing what he loved, but it also says he had never jousted before?

**Amaya**

Death from Orgasm.

**Fifty**

For a number of years now, I have wanted to die by being eaten by a Tiger. I saw a comedian who asked a few pertinent questions during a comedy sketch, including;

1) Why does everyone always die after a long, brave battle with cancer? You never hear about anyone giving up and dying of cancer quickly, do you?

2) Instead of a newspaper headline reading

"Fifty died after a long battle with cancer"

wouldn't you be more interested to read that

"Fifty died after a short battle with a tiger"

If I am unfortunate enough to ever get cancer, the day I realise it is terminal, I'll be heading to the tiger enclosure at the zoo.

**Lord-Loss**

I don't think i've ever thought about how I want to die, guess i've been concentrating on avoiding death.

Hmmmmm...

A glorious way to die, very unique.

**Kilkrazy**

Who can read this story and claim that Health & Safety has gone too far?

**Corpsesarefun**

Preferably in a battle of some form taking out as many opponents as possible before being overwhelmed.

Zombies would serve the purpose nicely.

**Commander Endova**

I don't particularly care, so long as it's for something meaningful. Ideally, I can take a bullet for a person or cause I care about.

That is the first time in a very long time that t'interweb has made me genuinely laugh my head off.

**Jihadnik**

I reckon Entrophy is the best way to...oh my god, dude, that is the freakiest avatar I have ever seen, corpsesarefun!

**Emperors Faithful**

It took him seven days to die with a piece of wood in his skull. Why am I a bit unsure about agreeing with you here matty?

Also, Lord-Loss, that was both hilarious and disturbing.

**Amaya**

I heard that if you take a bath in tobacco the nicotine will kill you within seconds.

Darth bobs is worse but he isn't round these parts much.

I felt it needed changing back to my original avatar since a certain gaggle of members compared my other photograph to that of a typical teen heartthrob

**mattyrm**

Emp, i always thought you were merely winding me up with your incessant girly man attitude, but are you actually taking me seriously and think that i want to die in my fifties, via the medium of having my eyeball impaled with a shard of sharp wood?

Its for fun mate.

feth me, its not like a thread called "we all want to die painlessly in our sleep at an advanced age" would be interesting is it?!

**Orlanth**

One of the things I noted is the attitude surrounding the death of the jouster. You can be assured under the last regime this story would be an excuse to crack down on re-enactors. Last thing we need is a Sword and lance = bad dogma.

Another genuine LOL moment.

**mattyrm**

True that Orlanth, they wouldnt be happy unless we all wore nothing but grey, grew beards and spent all our spare time sitting in a big circle and talking about our feelings.

And they use rat poison and nails for shrapnel in their IEDs Fifty, so i figured a big bag of pork scratchings and a shovel full of those bacon bites you get from Pizza Hut will serve me almost as well.

**Jihadnik**

Wouldn't a 2kg bag of pork scratchings be a bit to big to stuff in a backpack?

I know, I find the whole idea of being killed in a joust/swordfight/boomerang-match-off to be absolutely riveting. I just don't want to stick around 7 days after the fun has come and gone.

LL, yours was awesome, but i thought of a cool one for me. Rushing into the HQ of ISLAM4UK, getting Anjem Choudray in a head lock, then detonating my backpack full of C4 high explosive and a 2kilo bag of pork scratchings.

Ah, matty, you always make me laugh. But tonight you have excelled yourself. Good show, sir, Good show!

**mattyrm**

Cheers mate.

And dont let the details ruin it Nik....

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

A good death for me please.
In bed
nice and peaceful
at a very old age
all faculties in tact
all affairs sorted
content with my lot.

**Emperors Faithful**

If I was going to go out, whether it was getting stabbed, hit by a car, wrestling a horny gorilla or having a heart attack I would prefer it to be quick...and that I was stone cold drunk during it all.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Can we have less of the religious hatred please?

**mattyrm**

Not a bad idea, i dont know what they are though.. are they like those little reddy/pinky dried bacon bits you get from the buffet in Pizza Hut?

Or what about modifying a baton gun to fire frozen sausages? I bet you could kill someone with that.

Or fill a Nerf gun with cooked sausages, ?

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Chibi. Im merely jesting, take your easily offended keister to another thread. If real life people can blow people up via the medium of a suicide bomb, i can jest about carrying out a nerf gun shooting surely?

Whatever are you suggesting?

Close enough.

Or what about modifying a baton gun to fire frozen sausages? I bet you could kill someone with that.

Or fill a Nerf gun with cooked sausages, perhaps to goad a Muslim child whilst walking your nephew to school?

Good God, you're insane! Though the baton gun does have a certain appeal...

**mattyrm**

On topic, i always thought a good way to die would be decapitation. Surely its over pretty fast then. IE. Guillotine is better than hanging?

My missus suggested falling from a plane because it would be exhilirating. :S

If i knew i would go splat when i landed, i doubt i would enjoy the ride frankly.

Guillotine was very quick, but the older style of decapitation could take several swings to get right. And that would be pretty painful.

Ah, the thrill would of course be wondering if your missus had packed you a parachute...or a sandwhich.
