Don’t worry, I have NO intention of offing myself. There is too much life out there, you’d be a fool to give that up.
But… I have come to realize that I mean less than a flee’s butt in this intricate dance we call life. So. happy life. I’ll have one, no matter what you do. ( no worries, im not gonna kill myself. I might be depressed, but I’m not stupid)
I think the method involved in your demise would have a lot to do with it. Personally, I’d like to simply explode. Pretty much everybody for several blocks would notice, if I did it just right.
Weirddave,I can quote your sig by heart. You make me laugh. You’re bright, and witty, and have a friendly typeface.
I’d notice.
Lots of people would notice if I died. You know, like friends and family. I’m pretty average in that way.
Then they’d get on with things and accept it and wouldn’t think about it as much as time went by, at least if they were well-adjusted.
Hopefully I won’t have to worry about this for awhile yet! 
Re: the OP.
It depends on three things.
- Do I owe you money?
- Do you owe me money?
- Am I mentioned in your will?
Seriously, you would notice, and as much as you care about the outside world you should care about yourself just a little bit more. In your world, nobody enjoys a cold ice cream on a hot summer day as much as you do. Nobody cares about what you care about as much as you do. Nobody strives for the goals you care about as much as you do.
Besides, if you leave the ratio of good guys to bad guys is skewed just a little bit more in the wrong direction.
Hmmmm. Note to self: I get tenses all mixed up when I’m drunk. Work on that.
LOL- thanks folks. I think I’m gonna go get an ice cream cone.
Who else could I give shit about Trent Dilfer to? 
Disagree though we may on some stuff, I happen to enjoy our football debates (and it pisses me off to end when you make a point that I can’t counter!). Hope you’re feelin’ less down.
Hmmm, think I may grab some ice cream this afternoon as well.
Would there be a free buffet and open bar at the funeral?
I think your cats would notice if you weren’t around to feed them. 
Perhaps sitting around and drinking by yourself isn’t such a good idea, since it tends to lead to maudlin late-night postings/IMs/phone calls. Just a thought.

No one.
Absolutely no one.

Hell yes!
When the Ravens finish in the basement, who’s going to take all my shit?
The person who finds your body will definitely notice you’re dead. I mean you would be a little ripe.:eek:
Just kidding. I know everyone would notice.
Hugs and Good Wishes!
I’m sorry, did you say something?
Looks like someones getting philosophical eh?
What’s my place in the universe, do I make any differance and all that stuff.
You having a mid-life crisis Dave ?
Seems to me you need to go out and get some innapropriately youthful clothes to wear, maybe a sports car-open topped of course, some horrific smelling aftershave, a chest wig and a huge gold medallion on a chain.
You’ve gotta do this thing right.
Mercutio,
Look, I’ve never been formally introduced to you on the Board or anything, but I found your response to the OP sad. Unless you don’t want anybody to miss you. But I bet you have people in your life who would. I mean, now that you said that, I’m thinking about you, so I would miss you, because I am thinking to myself, “Here’s a person who thinks nobody would miss him if he died.” That’s just not right, as far as I’m concerned, so know this: I am thinking of you, even though I’ve never met you, and I would care if you died. Seriously. So there.
I think most of the DC/VA/MD dopers would miss you.
I know those of us who get lost trying to get to Falc’s place definitely would:)
Welcome to the boards and shake hands hello with my thick sarcasm. I talk to weirddave all the time, therefore he would get the joke and I was hoping others would too.
I think I’m gonna go end my empty empty life, right after my game of Scrabble™.
Creaky, thank you, but I did get what Mercutio was saying, and I took it how he meant it. If he ever calls me old man IRL, tho, I’ll do the old man funky chicken dance all over his ass, the little pipsqueek!
Thanks also to everyone else who chipped in.
Merc,
Hmmmm. what can you spell with an “n”, two "o"s, an “s” and an “e”?
Weirddave and Mercutio,
I’m glad that Mercutio ain’t seriously depressed. I’m new and am still getting accustomed to the personalities of all of the SD posters. I just hate to think of people in distress.
