Immediate family first (wife, mom, brother), then anybody I owe freelance work to.

would perform a song and dance number titled "I Have a Story to Tell You" and right as the song gets to the reveal, I eat it there on the stage, never to awake.

ok dmac but what if someone were there and saw it. and it was me, and i recognized you (i'm on vacation) and i'm like "darraghmac! is that you?! it's karl malone! are you fucking dying!? or did i just not know about your missing leg?"
― typo hell #6: i really don't much at all (Karl Malone), Thursday, 30 September 2021 02:03 (two years ago) link
"i see your leg! if you're dying i will leave it there, so? what is the status of your life?"

this is why you need to tell everyone about your impending death asap. word is bound to get around anyway, might as well get in front of it

Idk judt feels like managing the message wouldnt be top of my agenda in the circs idk
― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Thursday, 30 September 2021 02:18 (two years ago) link
there's an elevator speech (~20-30 seconds), and then there's your death speech (~5-10 seconds). you have to hone down your main message so that any time you can yell it out as you're dying.
not that i have one, nor do i have an elevator speech. it's just something you're supposed to have ready, like a will.

if you've got 5-10, you don't want to be spending 3-5 of those thinking of want to say. you want to go straight into it. and if there's nothing to say about life really, at that point, it's worth saying that out loud as well

And i def know that this is it, the big one?
Seems like it would be tough to be so sure after such an event maybe the bus has just horribly wounded me but would i know that

End of life planning is hard
― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Thursday, 30 September 2021 02:25 (two years ago) link
you definitely know it, in this case. someone is holding your leg and they're yelling "NO ONE survives this! absolutely NO ONE! not for longer than 20 seconds or so, i'd guess, tops. long enough for a final speech though...if you've prepared for it like everyone expected you to"

my end of life speech starts like this:
"LISTEN TO ME!!! LISTEN!!", and then 2-3 seconds to build the tension, but also 2-3 seconds for me to think of what to say. from there i wing it then die

I'm sure I've got 5-10 minutes of last words, but 20-30 would be ad lib

I'd tell all of you and request you send me off with a 51 FP salute

I saw this thread title & fir a second I was flooded with relief “You’re dying!”“Oh thank fuck, it’s about time.”
