Your Death

You are like "Chloe" in "24" - I can't do without you.

Every time she breaks protocol, it's for him.

She even gets arreststed for it....

:heart:
just read on wiki - seems he found her rather annoying at first :D ah well *shrugs* x

They are all false and wear colored clothes.

I only come here drunk, and so I am an honest man, if drowned, as in Twlelfth Night.

There is no rescue here, just honest conversation.

But O! .... FOR A MUSE OF FIRE

But pardon, gentles all,
The flat unraisèd spirits that hath dared
On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth
So great an object.

I feel a bit sad now, but I've never needed to be rescued. I want it, sometimes, but humans want lots of strange things.

:rose:
 
I want a large wake, people singing 'when the saints come marching in.' Good food, weeping and laughing over memories of me and certain men berating themselves for not being able to hold on to the little bird. I want one particular jerk to trip while carrying dip and do a face-plant in a bread bowl full of ranch dressing. Then I will go off to that gold bird cage in the sky.
 
The way he says "play" is so enthralling. I am trying to figure out which type of voiceless bilabial stop it is, but I'm a total dilettante at that sort of thing. When I say it, it sounds soft and blah. "Play." Blah. Maybe I need to incorporate my diaphragm or somep'm.
i does sounds as if he starts the word one place in the back of his throat, then engages that push from further down to force it more plosively up and out.
 
I want to be placed in the ground naked while my friends cover me with dirt.

I don't want a box, or a pretty dress. I don't want makeup. I want it done quick within 24 hours. Quick is the mourning.
 
Something quick, with not too much pain or discomfort, but something to allow me to think, 'Hmm, so this is what dying feels like.' Plus, if there is an after life, I wouldn't be so confused crossing over as I might be while sleeping and wondering if this is a weird dream.

No big funeral, the family can just get together and have hotdish (Minnesota tradition).

As for my body, part of me wants to go Klingon and say to the survivors, 'It is only an empty shell, dispose of it as you wish.'

The other part of me wants cremation, then pour my ashes into a mud pit, and have an all nude lipstick lesbian mud wrestling extravaganza.
 
Something quick, with not too much pain or discomfort, but something to allow me to think,
Oh, Richard Nixon and Charles Logan again...

By the gods were their head on pikes.

The English were brutal... but there was no second-guessing.
 
marwan ordered you to post the jacobi link again? awesome :cool:

having watched it a couple of times, i'm finding it more interesting now listening to it without the visual distractions - what a voice that man has. i think my first real encounters with jacobi were in I Claudius way back in the 70's.

I'll make Shakespeare in the Dark happen for us one day, chippy. I promise. I may not be able to talk Derek Jacobi in to getting on board, but so help me gravyjesus I will try.

:heart:

try this freaky thing, feelya:

open the jacobi link, then open another so they're about 5 or 10 seconds apart

listen as they play simultaneously - don't try watching. listen with your eyes closed.

it's amazing! my head's expanded!

It is wonderful.

It is propaganda in the most sweet terms one might ever imagine.

Oh my! That was a lot to handle! I hid my face behind my hands for a second, like that would help. Wow! It takes up so much space that way.

Oh my.

HELLO YES THIS IS PHELIA I AM HAVING VERY A LOT OF FUN DEFINITELY NOT KIDNAPPED THIS IS PHELIA TYPING RIGHT NOW.
 
I would like to be ritually thrown into a volcano.

However, as volcanos are in short supply in New Jersey, I'll just donate my body to science. I know it would be abused, but some good might come out of it, whereas if I go into a random Funeral Home all manner of shenanigans take place and I people have to pay for it.

Play this song:

Because it's from a game, it's about science, it's silly and it's funny and that's how I'd like to be remembered.

"Still Alive" - Jonathan Coulton

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here, huge success
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
And the science gets done
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
So I'm glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive

Go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Anyway this cake is great
It's so delicious and moist

Look at me still talking when there's science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me, I am still alive
I'm doing science, and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive
While you're dying, I'll be still alive
And when you're dead, I'll be still alive
Still alive
Still alive
