So, it's after 0300 and I'm not sleepy. BigCity, as our resident mortician, your input would be most appreciated.

In our small town, when I was in high school, the town's only funeral home was just down the street. The owner was a kinda Boris Karloff kind of fucker and would entertain my buddy and me with all sorts of stories and viewings and shit. We were entranced...

You asked for it.

And for the record, if any of you are asked how I want to be buried, I want a double wide coffin. Stories like this disturb me to no end.

Burned alive.

I would think that nerve gas death would rank up there. A chemical binds up the neurotransmitters that normally terminate nerve impulses. So every time a muscle contracts, it keeps contracting until you die in a mass of cramps. No thank you.

May I say that the woman in the original video isn't unattractive and after a coupla drinks, nature might take it's course. But I would have a problem rolling over and going to sleep afterward...

My number 2 would be being taken by a large constricting snake.
I'm not going to post a video for that.

Having said that, Goodnight! This is not the way to go to bed.

Damn dsiets, hope you don't feel your blankets wrapping around your feets and legs...

Skinned alive was pretty brutal. Saw the whole video. Not sure if they drugged the guy up beforehand, but he was conscious despite having no face, eyes, hands, penis.

I'm with you! I have insomnia too and this thread is one that I never should have oponed as it, no doubt, will NOT help one whit in getting to sleep. Gesh.

Nope. It ain't helping me none.

I shoulda just taken an Ambien or a shot or two of bourbon or both.

Not gonna work Shugart.
It's below freezing here. I've got 3 quilts on top of me. I welcome the cocoon.
Tomorrow, I'll awake, a butterfly, of sorts. I don't know what that means.

That's cool; but not really the way that I have been picturing you.

Burned alive while physically unable to escape.

This would be pretty bad. Also - burned alive or eaten by lion or shark.

Burned or drowned for me.

Scaphism, also known as "The Boats".

Any slow way.

I spend a lot of time on frozen lakes fishing. Going through the ice and not being able to find your way out and drowning was always a horrifying thought.

Being attacked and mauled by a bear has to be dying a thousand deaths. First off you usually see it coming which is terrifying in it's self. Then you normally are not killed instantly you are mauled for sometime. I've read accounts where grizzlies have played with human victims like a cat plays with a mouse for hours.

Alone

Timothy Treadwell had a pretty horrifying end.
