Famous Last Words

[johnny]

Lee Harvey Oswald as he was being escorted out, 'Hi Jack....'

okay, maybe he didn't say that as Jack Ruby jumped out of the crowd.

but just prior to going downstairs the detective (Stetson wearing James Leavelle is attached to him via handcuffs) had told Oswald,
as they walked into the basement area to exit into the police garage, where a squad car was idling, Leavelle said to Oswald, "Lee, I hope that if anybody shoots at you, they are as good a shot as you were."
He said Oswald grinned and replied, "Nobody's going to be shooting at me."


Guess he was wrong...

my favorite last words are the rambles of Gangster Dutch Shultz, Kingpin who was offed by Murder Inc when he refused to listen to the 'Commission', Lucky Luciano, etc.
Shultz wanted to whack the DA (Tom Dewey) who was investigating him. The Commission told him 'no' and Shultz told 'em he was going to do it anyway.

So the Commission put out a hit on Shultz.

Read the transcript. Great stuff about listening to 'mama'

Seeing this thread made me think of the infamous Australian Bushranger Edward 'Ned' Kelly. When he was hung in the late 1800s his famous last words at the gallows was apparently 'Such is Life'. His life story is a great read and he is an icon in Australian history which has been depicted in film, literature and art.

Oscar Wlide..."Either that wallpaper goes or I do." Supposedly.

John Denver (singing to the melody of You Fill Up My Senses): "I've filled up my cockpit, with icy blue water..."

Famous Last Suppers

Ted Bundy:
Illinois prison officials asked a local restaurant to prepare the last meal for John Wayne Gacy. Gary Gilmore was served what with milk and coffee?
On the fictional end of death row, inmate John Coffey requests this comfort food in a famous book by Stephen King (watch clips from the movie). And in one episode of "The Simpsons," Homer opts for beer, doughnuts and fried chicken.





JFK

What would you like your last words to be?

"It's about FUCKIN time"

[MetalHeadBettie]

I have always love the last words of murderer Gary Welch, who I have a roundabout connection to. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/artic...1_CUTLIN583934

[Welch] gave a short speech before the injection in which he thanked the inmates of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary's H unit for clanging on their cell doors before his execution - a tradition the inmates view as a sign of respect.

"I want to acknowledge that my brothers are here for me, to send me off on my journey," he said. "They are here on my behalf. They've already given me my little send-off. So let's get it on, because that's what we're here for."

He then began his chant, presumed to be a reference to Norse mythology. "Valhalla! Odin! Slay the beast!"

[MagnusDippytack]

Whitney Houston:

"Snort, snort, gurgle gurgle."

With Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson gone I expect the LA drug dealers to ask the gubmint for a bailout.

[Rosebud666]

There's a thread for that, it's called "Famous Last Words".

Search doesn't always work very well for me either. Sometimes it helps when search for a specific string by putting the quotes in the search box.

[Ted Challinor]

I'm sure I read JFK enjoyed Strawberries .... that's not some kind of obscure joke btw

[choff]

LA radio legend Robert W. Morgan..shortly after announcing he was suffering from lung cancer told listeners on LA's K-Earth 101 FM ".... "It could have something to do with the two packs a day cigarette habit I had for the last 35 years."..Morgan would be dead a year later.

In the flick "Sweet Dreams"...just seconds before the plane crashed Patsy Cline screamed "Charlie !!" ( Charlie Dick her husband ). Movie thing or did she really say that ?? Many of Patsy fans debate that one..but then again who really knows considering the conversations in the plane weren't recorded and everyone on the plane of course was killed. I guess it could be possible that was her last words but we will never know.

[MagnusDippytack]

[QUOTE=choff;1341120]LA radio legend Robert W. Morgan..shortly after announcing he was suffering from lung cancer told listeners on LA's K-Earth 101 FM ".... "It could have something to do with the two packs a day cigarette habit I had for the last 35 years."..Morgan would be dead a year later.

Not surprising. Robert's good pal and fellow radio announcer "The Real" Don Steele died of lung cancer at the same time. Being tied to a board four hours a day is conducive to heavy cig smoking. I worked in Radio for over a decade combined and I was the only announcer I ever met who did not smoke. Coffee and cigs were most announcer's diet.

[Mammy]

I'm always horrified by the last words of people before they are murdered. There is a guy named John Battaglia on Texas death row for killing his two daughters during a custody visit with them. He had the oldest child call her Mom and while they were on the phone, she heard her daughter scream "No, Daddy, no!" as he shot and killed both children with their Mom on the line hearing the whole thing. Cyndi Vanderheiden was a victim of the Speed Freak killers and considered them her friends since her Dad owned a bar where Herzog and Shermantine hung out often and Cyndi was also there a lot. She got into Shermantine's car with both of them, Shermantine driving and Cyndi in the front seat and Herzog in the back seat. At some point, Shermantine stopped the car and pulled a knife and forced Cyndi to perform oral on him and then he raped her. Herzog claimed he didn't do anything to stop the attack out of fear. Cyndi said "Help me, Slim!" (his nickname) as she was being assaulted and then murdered. Andrea Yate's oldest son knew what Andrea had done to his sister and brothers and tried to get away but Andrea ran after him and dragged him to the bathroom as he kept telling her he was sorry and would be a good boy thinking that would change her mind about drowning him, which obviously it didn't.

[Leasie]

If the bastard Perry Smith was telling the truth Nancy Clutters last words were: "Oh no! Oh please. No! No! No! No! Don't! Oh, please don't! Please!"

I can't remember Sharon Tate's last words but I remember she was pleading with her killers to let her have her baby....

Heartbreaking.

Despite the deaths of Morgan, Steele and so so many others.."radio plus smoking equals GOOD" still exist to this day !! Way too many so-called "program directors" believe that smoking is a good thing as they believe it will "improve the voice"..even today !! A few years ago on a lark I had applied for a part time radio gig at a station in Denver, Colorado. Oh I was offered that job but the catch was that I needed to take up cigarette smoking since "...everyone in Denver radio does it". Alas..I did NOT take up the Marlboros and I am still in the little town of Cumberland, Maryland !! Well at least I will live longer anyway.

[MagnusDippytack]

Cumberland, Maryland, 45 miles per hour. I watched a radio engineer clean up a mixing console that was about 20 years old and there was literally little drops of cigarette gook on the back of the knobs. Coffee and cigarettes help keep the announcer motivated.

[Tiffany]

If I remember correctly, Sharon not only pleaded to have her baby but Sharon screamed out 'mother!' before she fell to the floor. passed
