My last words would most likely be something along the lines of: " "So long, motherfuckers!"

Personally, I have a hard time really appreciating the significance of "last words." I know that, obviously, the last thing you say is the last thing you say, but I think the words that I'll use throughout the rest of my life will carry with them a great deal more meaning, particularly considering that if I die of old age in a hospital bed after a long illness, my last words may very well be "I really wish they'd served the red Jell-O after lunch" or something along those lines. I also have no intention and see no purpose in making a great speech before I die, unless I'm executed publically like Anne Boleyn. Really, it all depends on the circumstance. Knowing myself, if I happen to die of anything but old age, my last words will likely be something along the lines of "...oh shit." 
I feel this way. I also don't feel strongly about having to say something to people before they died, like "I wish I had a chance to tell ___ I love them" It sort of seems sensationalised to me. Though I can understand the feeling more or less.

non of you will ever say those things. It's nice to romanticize about them, but in all likelihood you will be either too tired to speak or too out-of-it. I mean, don't get me wrong, I think its fun to think about cool things to say before you die, but the truth is that you'll likely say nothing, or if you do, it will likely not be as majestic or clever as you all imagine. I'll save thinking about it until the time comes 
That was kind of my point. Unless you're being publically executed and know exactly when you're going to die, there's really no point to planning that sort of thing ahead of time, and they don't bear any real weight, anyway.
