Drown. I remember reading once that it becomes like a dream as you are drowning. I'll take that to watching myself melt into a big pile of stinky flesh.
Girlfriend and I were trying to argue the relative poopy nature of each. Figured the monkey would know all.
I have a little experience with his, in a kind-of-sort-of way. When I got hit, the lungs collapsing/filling with my own blood/not being able to breathe in the ambulance thing, was by far the worst, only time I felt scared, part of the whole original "incident". Not being able to breathe was when I started to panic. As a kid and young adult, I also spent a sh1t ton of time in the river and ocean, many scary moments were had.
Not that fire would be a trip to Disneyland, but I for sure don't want to drown.

Light my cracker ass up. Almost drown twice as a kid, not fun. As a smith and former cook I've been burned many times. I'll take that over the fear and panic that comes with not be able to breath. A few years ago I thought I was having a heart attack while riding. Fire and rescue team, ambulance, and EKG made for a very scary day/night. Burning would most certainly kick in some massive amounts of adrenaline and give you little time to experience that paralyzing sense of fear.
And Loco only sucks because he doesn't post here anymore.
Ironic considering a catapult would typically have you covered in hot oil and lit on fire and launched at a stone wall, only to smack the wall...and drown in the moat.
perhaps most disturbing is how the current majority prefers soggy bacon.
Bah, I thought this was going to be FMK
Seems like drowning wouldn't hurt and would be faster. Unless of course you are drowned in a tub of boiling water...then it'd probably hurt. And no, I have no sympathy for the lobster. That's why they are here.

But he still lurks.
i'm thinking the burn would cause an endorphin rush and that's going to block pain. once the nerves are burned, the pain can't transmit. of course, it would also trigger a hysteria, which might be enough of an altered state to keep you from knowing what is actually going on.
i think the drowning would leave you more aware of your passing. it would be less painful, but more psychologically difficult. drifting off to sleep as the brain is starved of oxygen would be calmer on the outside, but more terrifying.
