You're not going to die, (it's Christmas, you know) but you do have one last request. What would it be?

It's not a wish, it's a request. The difference is, the first is granted by fairies, and the latter is without magic.

If I'm not going to die, why is my request final?

I think ik911 means that you can wish/request anything within reasonable realworld parameters, but nothing that would require supernatural intervention. For instance, I couldn't wish on my deathbed that every politician henceforth be cursed to tell the truth about everything whenever they opened their mouths. Though it would be worth dying for that to occur.
Instead, I suspect I'll request a quiet Gardnerian witch ceremony, the reading of a poem by John Donne to my wife, and the scattering of my ashes.
EDIT: One other point. Before I'm cremated, I'll want my organs donated to science. I see absolutely no reason to carry anything into a furnace (or into the ground, for that matter) that can improve somebody else's life and which will otherwise be useless.

That the closing credit music in Lord of the Rings be changed to the Led Zeppelin LotR tribute tracks, Ramble On and Battle of Evermore.
And I want Don't Worry, Be Happy to be played at my funeral.

In this case I want "Stuck in grave - send help" engraved on my gravestone when I die, and a cappuccino right now.

To have my life celebrated, rather than my death mourned. And my funeral to be damn well away froma church!

Good one.
A request hmm... Perhaps someone to read me from one of my books while I... pass away. It seems calming.

I wouldn't want a tombstone. It's just an expensive rock, not a memory. Memories are everywhere, not in stone.

That everyone be required to wear hot pink or some extremely bright color to my "funeral", which would really be a great big party. I DEFINATELY don't want a sappy funeral. Oh, and to be cremated and to have my ashes scattered in the sea.

my final request will be to travel to just outside of Kamloops BC with 4 feet of fresh powder on the ground. there's an 80 foot drop with (at my skill level) only a 50% chance of surviving. if its the last thing i'm ever gonna get to do, i wanna huck fat air off that bad boy riding a 164 Ride Mountain. the landing is secondary to the launch.

I would seriously want to hang out with Angus Young. But I would probaly choose to loose my sad teenage virginity. I'm shallow like that.

If I am to die - and had one wish, I would wish for world peace and understanding .... awww, I'm so nice these days
Or wish something nice for others anyways.
Regardless - if I am to die what good is any wish for me if I am not alive to enjoy it, thus I'd use it on somebody else | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
