Ironically, today, I decided I want my headstone to read
"Bruce: He saw the light, and put on sunglasses."

I just wonder -- what would you like your tombstone/headstone to read? I think I'd like:

Here lies Kevin: Let this be a lesson to you all.

Who said I was dying? :D

I won't be having a tombstone as traditional burials and cemeteries are not eco-friendly.

LOL. Okay, then, what would you like inscribed on your urn/dixie cup/plastic baggie of cremains? :)

I'm having as large, ornat and imposing headstone as possible, with "Here lies [insert name here], and he died a richer man than you"

Name.
Rank.
Branch of service.
Date of birth.
Date of death.
No more, no less.

Here lies a guy who wasn't great, but meh, he never killed anybody.......that didn't deserve it.

Just lay some cookies on the plate in front of you, thanks.

LOL. Okay, then, what would you like inscribed on your urn/dixie cup/plastic baggie of cremains? :)

My remains will be disposed of in such a manner as to be made available to re-absorption into the cycle as quickly as possible, so there will be no urns or other such nonsense.

I know when they buried my grandpa, that was all that was on his tombstone.

Bah.

When I die, I want to be burried upside down in a clear coffin so the world can kiss my ass.....;)

"Developed the first personal nuclear weapons platform, minor accident with trigger."

Or...

"The Cirrhosis got him before the cancer"

My remains will be disposed of in such a manner as to be made available to re-absorption into the cycle as quickly as possible, so there will be no urns or other such nonsense.

I recommend a shallow grave in the tropics, then. The warm weather helps to skeletonize a corpse quickly -- in some instances in as little as two weeks. ;) Nevertheless, the point of the post remains (no pun intended), is there at least a witty rejoinder by which you'd like to be remembered?

"If you can read this then I was wrong about how long it takes a train to stop"

so you wouldn't be against dumping your body in the ocean and allowing the sea creatures to do what they like with you.

Quicklime. *nods*

Of course not, since I will be dead. If the fishies would like it, and it is not of ecological harm, then they are free to devour the husk that was once me.

"Disgusting, vile, pretentious asshole."

That way, whatever is actually written will be an improvement.

I won't be having a tombstone as traditional burials and cemeteries are not eco-friendly.
Seeing how, in the event, you'll be too dead to have much of an influence, I might then carry with me the urge to get you a tombstone with "Traditional burials and cemeteries are not eco-friendly!" on it.

I plan on getting a statue of an angel made that's holding an urn for my ashes.

Then bribe a building owner in Philadelphia to put it in front of the building.

EDIT: And no, I'm not regilious. I just think an angel would look nice. ;)

"There is peace and dignity in obscurity." Satisfied?

I would prefer it you didn't, but if you did, it would have nothing to do with me, as you would have no access to my remains and the resource waste would be on your head.

Aha. Haha. You know I love it when I can catch you in your rare moments of naiveness.

Well, they're not as common as yours of delusion, that's right.

"There is peace and dignity in obscurity." Satisfied?

Nah. I actually feel a little dirty now.

moreso than usual, I mean.

Oh...you meant with the quote. Yeah, that'll do, I suppose.

What do I want on my tombstone?


Mushrooms and pepperoni, of course :)

Nah. I actually feel a little dirty now.

No biggie, I can always lick it off.

Here lies Drunk Commies, beloved pet and sideshow freak.

"See you in hell."

Well, they're not as common as yours of delusion, that's right.

Few things are. *pride*

In order to pretend on-topicness: how about "Sanity's been trying to catch her, but she was faster for all of her 47 years. Race came to a dignified end on XXXX; please find medals below"

Hmm, laboured. Fits you. :D

Labored would fit me better. :)

You're not dyslexic or adjacently USian.

that works. Almost too well.....

"Here lies Ruffy; Boston still sucks"
rofl :D

"Here lies Ruffy; Boston still sucks"
You win for correctly placing a semicolon in your headstone text.

You're not dyslexic or adjacently USian.
Why doesn't anybody ever tell me about the major changes in my life?

"Here lies Ruffy; Boston still sucks"

You little punk.

"No dancing"

that works. Almost too well.....

I'm sure I can extract more soilage from whence the previous one came, meaning my service will not work itself out of a gig.

We were never made aware of its presence.

Well it's true.

I don't need no tombstone.

Oh, nobody ever tells you anything?

:

Yay!

Never praise a post before the thread's over- you do realize that this means I'm bound to encourage your death to come as quickly as possible, so that I may marvel at your headstone while still able to travel wih relative ease?

Sorry, my security from arbitrary arrest and right to council and to challenge my detention cannot be guaranteed in the US. We'll always have Montréal, though.

Oh, nobody ever tells you anything?

Just because I'm told doesn't mean I listen.

Well it's true.
Psht...you came to boston with your family on the hottest day of the year.

Come up again, and I'll show you a real view of Boston

Can I have a cake first?

I won't have a tombstone, I will be cremated and half of my ashes will be spread across the runway at my airport, and the other half will be let out of an airplane at 3,000 feet.

I'll be there in a few hours. Meet me at the worlds largest tea pot.

I'm afraid that subjecting yourself to my baking skills might in fact be the very thing that'll bring about your death.

Fancy. What's all the effort for? It can't be for your own good, and it won't, say, give your loved ones a place to pilgrimage to (which seems to be the sad excuse for the whole coffin-in-cemetery thing, as if they'd be in danger to forget you if they couldn't do the taking care of the grave routine), either.

Just because I'm told doesn't mean I listen.
Just because you say so doesn't mean it is so.

Sorry, my security from arbitrary arrest and right to council and to challenge my detention cannot be guaranteed in the US. We'll always have Montréal, though.Ah yes. I've heard Montreal has great festivities planned for Sissymas.

I'll be there in a few hours. Meet me at the worlds largest tea pot.
where the hell is that?

Ah yes. I've heard Montreal has great festivities planned for Sissymas.

Montréal has great festivities planned for everything. It's the gayest semi-little town in the world. *sighs, misses*

They could visit me at the airport, and comon, why would you want to be buried at a place you'll only check into and not check out of? I mean would you rather have your final resting place be a place that means alot to you when you were alive. Thats why I said in my ghost thread I'll probably end up haunting my airport.

"Joseph...

Were only he not taken from us when not having sex with the winners of the last three Miss World Contests at the same time, whilst driving a monster truck coated in communist propaganda into the White House...

Alas, this was actually what happened.

Gutted."

I have no problem with that. Just gimme cake!

Point taken for the one half.
and comon, why would you want to be buried at a place you'll only check into and not check out of?
I'm sorry, I'm not into being buried at all. But, umm, I suppose I'm supposed to take that check in, check out thing figuratively? Which, you know, I probably wouldn't care about whether my physical decaying body coud figuratively check out of the place it's on/in.
I mean would you rather have your final resting place be a place that means alot to you when you were alive.AMF, I tend to not fancy any "final resting place" at all, but ven if I did, I wouldn't care as to where it'd be, considering how I don't think a dead person notices where exactly the body is.

I have no problem with that. Just gimme cake!

Ugh...you want me to go all the way down to the BCEC/WTC? Why? there's nothing down there....


meet me at Newbury.

Tombstone implies grave. No grave. I will be bodily consumed by my loved ones.

My remains will be disposed of in such a manner as to be made available to re-absorption into the cycle as quickly as possible, so there will be no urns or other such nonsense.

So... you want to be ground up and used for mulch. Groovy. ;)

Your place; I'll bring the flour, and you are responsible for the rest.

Fine. Bring money.

Tombstone implies grave. No grave. I will be bodily consumed by my loved ones.

And there's no love for worms?

My plan is to vanish without a trace so I don't even know if there will be a grave. But if for some reason my body is found and buried or my empty plot has a stone placed, I'd like:

"Wake me when it's over."

"Worms tickle"

"You should've seen the other guy."

or

"There goes the neighborhood" -Rodney Dangerfield's epitaph.

"Herein lies entombed your demon-god, appease him lest he return and smitith thee for your insolence. Leave him beer and malt liquor."

"Here lies Dragontide. Please don't repo my tombstone! The check's in the mail" :D

And there's no love for worms?

No. I hate when it rains & the rank stench of annalid fills the air. Besides, modern graves are worm-rpoof. Concrete crypts in the ground.

No. I hate when it rains & the rank stench of annalid fills the air. Besides, modern graves are worm-rpoof. Concrete crypts in the ground.

Not for me. *shakes head* I want to rot.

I actually plan to have a little fun with my death.

On the night of the viewing, I'll have one of my family member pull a switch, which will release a spring under me which will push me to sit straight up! :D

Then during cremation, I'll have someone remote start a tape recording of me screaming 'AHHH IT BURNS, LET ME OUT! I'M NOT DEAD YOU BASTARDS, OH MY GOD I'M BURNING UP!"

:D

Wir sitzen hier am runden Tisch und saufen bis er eckig ist!
Modify that to "Wir liegen hier unter'm eckigen Grabstein und saufen bis er rund ist" and we're talking..:)

"insert coin"

"Is He Dead Yet?"

I'd like

"died after years of being a burden on the tax payer and his family"

" I plan to live forever..........Damn it!"

Mine will say and I quote''What the Hell are you doing in a Graveyard anyways?,don't you have anything better to do?''

I won't have a tombstone...

"Don't let your children's hands morph into the shape of Playstation controllers...like this poor bastard."

I think it's a mix between that and "Dammit Dan! What did you do this time"

Maybe the best:

Royal Tenenbaum's epitaph: Royal O'Reilly Tenenbaum (1932-2001) Died Tragically Rescuing His Family From The Remains Of A Destroyed Sinking Battleship

Hopefully: "Not technically dead, mind uploaded on December 17th, 2073"

"When I die bury me deep, lay my bike at my feet. Strap a helmet to my head, I'll keep ridin' BMX when I'm dead."

I stole it off of my favorite T-shirt. :D

Something like this (http://dcpages.com/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=Six_Flags_Fright_Fest&id=DSC02713)...

"I told you I was sick".

I won't have a tombstone...

You'll have a pyramid.

According to the Talmud, when the Messiah comes, the dead will roll underground towards Jerusalem.

That seems kinda undignified. So unless I can be buried in Jerusalem, I will be buried in what amounts to a missile silo. My coffin shall be a fully functional ballistic missile capable of reaching Jerusalem (I'll have to use some advanced technology to get that kind of range on an engine that can be mounted on a coffin). When the Messiah comes, my tomb shall slide open, and I shall fly towards Jerusalem in style.

Until then, here is my epitaph:
Shema Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad
Baruch Shem K'vod Malchuto L'Olam Va'ed
E=mc2

Translation:
Hear O Israel, The Lord Is G-d, The Lord Is One
Blessed Be His Glorious Name, Forever And Ever
Energy Equals Mass Times The Speed Of Light Squared

The first two lines make up the Shema, the Jewish creed, and IMHO the most beautiful prayer in the world (the second line is supposedly angelic in origin). The third line is perhaps the most famous equation in all science.

Kinda sums me up.

This is all academic, as I plan on using a combination of advanced medicine and procrastination to avoid death.

This is all academic, as I plan on using a combination of advanced medicine and procrastination to avoid death.

Yeah, I'm banking on that one combined with a gradual cyborgization of my body as the technology advances. Eventually, once I'm 100% machine I can just be integrated in to the self-aware supercomputer and live for as long as I want in an infinite number of computer generated worlds. Matroishka brain, here I come...

Add in artificial reincarnation, preferably with an occasional choice of worlds and you've got it as good as you possibly could. I wouldn't mind having a few lifetimes in somewhere cool like a Dune universe or one of Isaac Asimov's worlds...

You'll have a pyramid.

Or they'll just throw your body into a ditch with a hundred other dead corpses. Sweet and simple!

Oh, you can join your Smunkee when you die too. :)

*Scratch and Sniff Grave*

*Free Beer to the first one down here!*

"Bite Me, Fan Boys!*

*glues self to smunkee*

You're insane.

You're insane.

:D

I'm going to have a little pressue sensor by my grave, so that one someone steps on it, a speaker under the ground will make it sound like I'm banging on the coffin, yelling "HELP! WHERE THE HELL AM I?".

That is my dream.

As for my Tombstone:

"You're standing ontop of my carcass, jackass."

What do I want on my tombstone?


Mushrooms and pepperoni, of course :)
OMG! I definitely thought of pizza when I saw this thread, too!

"Here lies Ruffy; Boston still sucks"

That's awesome, Ruffy!


Hmm, I wanna be cremated. Then I guess just my name, date of birth and death. Altho, maybe something like "Her death did not stop the world from spinning. We have no reason to believe it stopped her from spinning, either."

OMG! I definitely thought of pizza when I saw this thread, too!

I thought of that when I wrote it, too, which is why I worded it carefully.

"See, I told you I was sick"

I just wonder -- what would you like your tombstone/headstone to read? I think I'd like:

Or

(As the above indicate, dying isn't in the plan.)

"Rez Plz"

I only rez for gil, but I'll consider one as a favor. ;)

"The cross, the stake and the garlic didn't work, so we went with this tombstone"

Considering the way I plan to die:

'Don't eat yellow snow'

<Your Ad Here>

My remains will be disposed of in such a manner as to be made available to re-absorption into the cycle as quickly as possible, so there will be no urns or other such nonsense.

You, of all, should know that funerals and the trappings of death aren't for the dead. I would also like to be disposed of in a way so that I can be 're-absorbed', but how do you make sure your survivors feel the same way?

"<= I'm with Stupid"
"Out of Order"
"Red Warrior Needed Food Badly!" (Gauntlet reference for those who don't know)

What I would like is to be cremated and have my ashes spread over Lake Superior so I'll eventually filter down through all of the Great Lakes system. I think my family would see this as a suitably emotional gesture to make for a proper funeral.

"One day, you'll be dead too"

i think i'd want to get scattered somewhere. if people want to put a memorial for me somewhere it'd better be light-hearted and funny and with no religious under-/over-tones.

"Here lies Chris. If not, please notify the undertakers at once."

Seriously though, I think having your ashes spread somewhere is a great idea. It appeals a lot to me - were it not for two facts:

1) you kinda have to be cremated to have your ashes spread anywhere. Which, well, let's just say I would hate to be cremated. :/

2) as nice as it is for you, it might very well suck big time for your loved ones, because there won't be a place "where you are", where they can come to and pretend to be close to you. Yeah, of course it's stupid, but from my own experience, it's also really important to have, stupid as it is.

I'd be digging to make goddamn sure he was dead and buried! ;)

Well, the only way he can get me to expend any effort on his behalf is by finally continuing the damned dungeon thread. :p

"Here lies Chris. If not, please notify the undertakers at once."

You really think we'd start digging just to check? :p

I think the thing is not to notify them if it isn't him; it's more to notify them if he isn't lying the way he's supposed to. As in, "if you notice the grave surface to bulge strangely and/or you hear muffled sounds form underneath, please notify the udnertakers AT ONCE".

1. Why?

2. You could have your ashes spread at a certain place, perhaps one that means a lot to you. Then your family could go to that place to remember you. You might not actually be there in the flesh, as it were, but it'd be a link to you for your family.

well, before i was cremated i'd want to be injected with something to make sure i didn't wake up incase i wasn't dead yet.

my friend's gran was cremated and scattered over a rose garden. i think that was nice. personally i think i'd want to be scattered on the beach at home in jersey or wherever i'm living when i die, aslong as i'm near a beach.

Don't you guys get your drinking water from the Great Lakes? :eek: :pMy friend has said that he wants to be cremated and have his ashes served in the food to the guests at his wake. I'm not sure if he was kidding or not...

Unfortunately it wouldn't be very likely that someone would drink any appreciable portion of my remains because the lakes are kinda big.

Today, 20 percent of the world’s fresh surface water is contained in the five great lakes: 5,473 cubic miles (22,812 km³), or 6 quadrillion gallons (22.81 quadrillion litres) in all.

It's an awfully large headstone. So i'll have to construct it out of recycled paper mache to save money.

Which science? May we choose?

Absolutely. Why would I care at that time? Give a few suggestions, it'd be fun to know ahead of time.

Then what shall I write on your forehead while I'm dissecting you in my gross anatomy class? :)Pledgeria was here.

Reanimation Studies? Android Development? Biotechnology?

Pledgeria was here.

A poem for Bitchkitten's forehead:

Pledgeria was here,
But now he's gone.
He left his name
To carry on.
Those who knew him,
Knew him well.
Those who didn't
Can go to --

(sorry, ran outta room) :) Then when Shikishima turns you into Robocop, we can cover it with the helmet.

I'm not bothered about what happens to my body once I'm dead (other than donating my organs).

Ground me up into dogfood for all I care. :)

I just wonder -- what would you like your tombstone/headstone to read? I think I'd like:

Back when I still smoked, I was outside a Starbucks with a newspaper, coffee, and a smoke -- way away from anyone else and downwind at that. This lady comes over, about 30ft out of her way, to tell me "you know those things'll kill you." In my best deadpan I replied, "No, my driving will kill me long before that."

So, "let this be a lesson to you all" seems to apply to both. :D

I am dead. I died in bed.

Whan a chainsaw fell on my head.

Here Lies Nate: Died Tragically While Saving His Family From a Sinking Battleship

"AAAAH! GET OFF OF ME!"

"They loved me or hated me. Or thought I was okay."

"Never sniff Coca-Cola"

"My embalming fluid is beer"

"This is why you should get your brakes checked"

"Never listen to country music in Compton"

"Here lies __, inventor of the lead zeppelin"

"It's just a scratch!"

"Red wire to blue wire, right?"

"Exhume at your own risk"

"Here Lies [MY NAME], (yes, in caps) The Man That Stopped Il Ruffino."

There will also be some inscription about how I died years later in battle with some other person, but I won since I died when I was on my feet.

"Fighting for the orphaned children of Il Ruffino, Ruffy was shot at point blank by a man crazed with envy-- For the children, and their happiness, God save Rufferto!"

EDIT: We know how to spin things to our advantage, here in Ruffyland. ;)

Mwahaha!

No one will ever know I was trying to blow up your oil reserves!

Sheesh Ruffy, it's in good fun. Man, a superhero can't make any comment these days about his planned exploits of stopping pure evil.

I want mine to be a giant statue of a man clad in Giant Artificer Armor, holding before him a mighty sword and a crown of spikes upon his head. I want it to state: "To The Glory of Chaos!"


(Yes, that is a Warhammer joke.)



Seriously though, I don't plan to die.....ever.

LOL, I seriously thought you were going to say ALL YOUR GRAVE ARE BELONG TO US or something. :)

Nope, I love Warhammer too much.

Seriously though, I don't plan to die.....ever.

I think Ol' Grandpappy Nurgle may be able to help with that.....

My remains will be disposed of in such a manner as to be made available to re-absorption into the cycle as quickly as possible, so there will be no urns or other such nonsense.Yeah.. I saw that @ Waterworld..

Seriously though, I don't plan to die.....ever.

Other then the suicidal and the very old, I don't think anyone PLANS to die. Though, my daughter did make me promise to never die....

"If you notice this notice, you'll notice this notice, is not worth noticing. So don't notice it."

:rolleyes:

I want to be made into Harlesburg Flambe.
No Tombstone required.

Well, there are two options here.

1. If I somehow manage to make it to age 100 (unlikely, given my current habits :p ), then I plan to jump out of an airplane with no parachute. My last few moments will be a BLAST, damnit!

This will be done over water, so as to minimize the chance of doing damage to life or property. Whatever is left of my corpse will be eaten shortly thereafter, I am sure.

2. If I die before then, I will request that my body be left somewhere in the Rocky Mountains for animals to fight over...if this is not possible, then cremation, the ashes spread in the Dolomite Mts. in Italy.

Yes...I've thought this through. :p
