Last Requests/Dying Shouts Please (in General)

People rarely use the Battle Shouts. One of the reasons I believe is that it didn't work properly in the past. The main reason I didn't use one was because my familiar would steal most of the kills, or the opponent would die from AMF or GA and so again nothing would happen. It also irked me that only one or two minions out of a four minion team would ever get to shout in most cases.
I suggest that we add Dying Shouts or Last Requests to our minions. This would be a phrase that would be uttered if and when the minion dies. The trigger for this is much better in my opinion since everyone in your team has a chance to utter it in every battle, yet only utter it once in that one battle. It's a much better distribution of comments.
You can keep Battle Shouts of course, they can easily be placed in the same rows as Dying Shouts in the battle log. Who knows, the two opposing comments might make for a good laugh or two.

Based on the subject, I thought this was going to be another "I quit" post ;)

(the dying shouts, not Vestax quitting. *wink*)
If this goes through I want a 4 minion team of UC folks who all scream "Ooooh Noooo" like mr. bill

I'm not into the whole battle cry thing (or death cry, now), but here's a few that I like:
"That felt good!"
"See you in my dreams..."
"That was luck!"
"Nice shot."
"Good grief!"

Here's a list of "Homer'isms" that would fit the bill.
- Don't mess with the dead, boy, they have eerie powers.
- I hope I didn't brain my damage.
- I'm in a place where I don't know where I am!
- Trying is the first step towards failure.
- Operator! Give me the number for 911!
- Son, this is the only time I'm ever gonna say this. It is not okay to lose.
- This is absolutely the last funeral we ever take you kids to.
- Lisa, remember me as I am - filled with murderous rage.
- You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'.
- Sweet Merciful Crap!
- Jesus, Alla, Buddha ... I love you all!

'Smeg!'
There's no adequate way to punctuate that in a way that conjures up curry, desperation, boredom and resigned fatalism....

"I know a trick worth two of that."
"Hey play fair now"
"You don't see me cheating do you?"
"I would have won if I didn't have something in my eye!"
