| While I like to entertain the thought of going out and fixing at least one thing that's wrong with the world with the zeal of someone who has absolutely nothing to lose, I'd probably end up spending the day with family and friends, chatting about good times and giving people my stuff. This is the most likely to happen.
That, or go for one of those rides in a MiG-29. Nothing like having all the blood in my body forced into my earlobes...  (Do they still offer rides in a Mig-25? That would be cooler...) This would happen if I was looking for one last thrill.
I'd also really like to stand at the wheel of one of the old square-riggers, feel the wind in my face and listen to it singing through the rigging... the motion of the deck... glorious. This would happen if I wanted to make my peace with the world and the gods.

No straw-death for me, please! | There is a borges story I love where the main character becomes paralyzed before he dies and the option of a heroic death is denied to him...its called "el sur" (the south in english). It reminded me of your post because the story includes knife fights against malefactors... | |

I had one of the older of those games for Amiga (ah, the good old days!  ) and there's an in-scene with the Le Chuck pirate standing at the wheel of his pirates ship saying "Ah, there's nothing like the hot winds of Hell blowing in your face!"
Only I figure you more like Guybrush Threepwood than Le Chuck. Sorry, it just made me laugh.

Heh... those are great games - Curse of Monkey Island is one of my all time favourites. I could play that again and again, and the music is great, too.

| I'd have to go with MP here and clear my history. Then maybe go and fence.
Scoop the cat's litterbox again, clip his claws (because no one else will once I'm gone). Watch "The Holy Grail" one more time. Talk to my closest friends, and probably hoist a few with them, some really colorful chick drinks. Crack open that bottle of 100-point port I've been saving for when my kids graduate from college (which is many many years away anyway, and they'll be too young to appreciate it when they're of age to drink it, so there). Call my parents and siblings and tell them I love them. Have truly amazing sex - I assume with my husband, but the UPS guy might get lucky if my spouse goes to the office that day. Hug my kids and spend as much time as I possibly can with them, but not let them see me die. Finish Ulysses (on second thought, naaaahhhh). Go out reading "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night." And rage against the dying of the light.
