« Bird | Main | Tribute to The Great Bird » July 16, 2002EpitaphSpudnuts is a familiar name to the regular WWDN reader. He makes me, and everyone else, laugh and think, and laugh some more. He also types in this form. That. Is. Very. Unique. Well. I recently read something he wrote, and asked him if I could post it here, because I thought it was really cool. Quoth Spudnuts:
But I always notice the generic script that accompanies even the most flamboyant tombstone. It makes no sense. Surely, there must have been some cut-ups, clowns, subversives, eccentrics, mavericks, firebrands, freakshows, or just someone who wants MORE on their grave than... "Died in Troutdale." What is so fucking sacred about a tombstone that you can't be shocked or amused when you happen upon the burial site of some HUMAN? Jesus. It's like being interred at the Christian Science Reading Room, laundry mat, or DMV. So... INSTITUTIONAL and sterile. Then... Who knows? Maybe only the boring ones actually get a gravestone. All the interesting ones had their ashes scattered from a hangglider over Euro Disney. Two years ago, I wrote down about fifty variations I would like on my tombstone. Here are a couple of the better ones... -- Caucasian. Gamer. Hermaphrodite.

I don't think I can argue a word of that... NOTHING is so sacred that it can't be taken with a bit of humor. And if it is, there's probably something wrong with it. Posted by: Clay at July 16, 2002 11:24 AMhow about: How can you take a guy with potato balls seriously?? HA HA Posted by: Rich at July 16, 2002 11:32 AMThanks Wil and Spudnuts. I needed a good laugh today. Posted by: Sarcastic Cheese at July 16, 2002 11:35 AMRemember Night of the Living Dead? Posted by: ze-mag at July 16, 2002 11:39 AMI used to work at a cemetery, digging graves. And they are some of the most beautiful pieces of land around. So many flowers,trees,statues,and very quiet. you look around at all the headstones and realize someday you'll be there too. everything is neatly trimmed and the grass so green. It's like a park. cemeteries are beautiful and kind of freaky also. Posted by: j at July 16, 2002 11:43 AM"game over, man" Posted by: courtney at July 16, 2002 11:44 AM"Check, please." Posted by: Snark at July 16, 2002 11:52 AMWhen I first saw the title of today's entry, I thought someone had died. Then I read a little further and you were talking about Spudnuts! Arrrgh! Don't do that to people! *breathe* Spudnuts is okay... and still funny. Phew. Posted by: Mandy at July 16, 2002 11:54 AMIn Richmond Virginia at Hollywood Cemetery there is a tombstone which reads..."I told you that my foot was killing me" Which is just so funny. Than there is this Civil War soldier who kept marrying his cousins. He was married four times. All of which was documented on his grave slab. Posted by: Artisticspirit at July 16, 2002 11:59 AMyawp. Posted by: Spudnuts at July 16, 2002 12:03 PMI was always partial to this inscription on a tombstone: "Hey Kid! Yeah, you! Steal this tombstone and hide it in your room to impress your friends!" Posted by: Dale S. at July 16, 2002 12:03 PMTo truly appreciate Spudnuts, I dunno Spuds, I think "Died in Troutdale," is pretty fucking hilarious... I mean, how sad do you have to be to be buried there?? I love the "Ask Me About Herbalife! These are all great. We should see more like these on headstones. Why does death have to be such a morbid and serious thing?? how about "I MET WIL WHEATON" I kinda like that one :D or "I was part of Wils posse" Lisa Marie Posted by: Lisa Marie at July 16, 2002 12:18 PMDeath? Morbid? Serious? I love ya, Spudnuts. You're always making me laugh. And thanks, Wil, for posting it. I'm having a really terrible day, and this really helps out. Posted by: Pmacca01 at July 16, 2002 12:27 PMNovember 2nd is 'Plan Your Epitaph Day' From the web site: Dedicated to the proposition that a forgettable gravestone is a fate worse than death. You too can be in a league with -- William Shakespeare: and W.C. Fields: http://www.hardiehouse.org/epitaph/planhome.html Posted by: Jack at July 16, 2002 12:28 PMFrom something I wrote once... This lived I've loved, it's known no equal... "Here lies David St. Hubbins. And why not?" Posted by: hippiewitch at July 16, 2002 12:44 PM"Still Dead." Posted by: darla8855 at July 16, 2002 12:52 PM"I liked pork" Posted by: Lisa Marie at July 16, 2002 12:52 PM
;)
"Did we have sex? If so, was it good? Id like to be remembered for that" Posted by: Lisa Marie at July 16, 2002 12:54 PM"My child is an honor student at Glendale Elementary" Posted by: courtney at July 16, 2002 12:57 PM"Sorry, I'm not in at the moment... I've actually been scattered over the ocean... please leave your flowers to rot or be stolen, and no one will be getting back to you. Thanks, and have a great day!" "..too many word's...not enough time." THAT is WHAT it will say on MR.Nuts tombstone! (or he wanted pepperoni!) Posted by: bluecat/redblanket at July 16, 2002 01:01 PM"I was killed by your honor student." Posted by: Jinkster at July 16, 2002 01:07 PM Fantablous. "It was the Salmon Mousse!" For those who enjoyed the Meaning of Life, another great non Wil movie. Posted by: Greg at July 16, 2002 01:28 PMWil, Thanks for another great laugh for the day it was going pretty bad until then. Here is one "If the diet would have worked I wouldn't be here". Matt. Posted by: Matt at July 16, 2002 01:33 PMLONG LIVE SPUDNUTS! For a life without Spudnuts, is not a life at all. "Ask me about Herbalife!" I was rolling man, truly rolling... Good times... And for the person who also initially thought Spudnuts was gone, I was right there with you. Way too scary to think about though. Bobby the Mat, I hope you tackle this one next. Back to lurkin, Headra Posted by: Headra at July 16, 2002 01:41 PMMy ideal tombstone: 5' high slab of black marble, 1:4:9. Blank, except for one thing: in 12pt gold lettering, slightly off centre and not quite level, the single word "Bugger." With the inverted commas and the full stop. To be erected precisely two-thirds of the way up Ben Nevis. And then bury me at sea. Posted by: Dave at July 16, 2002 01:48 PMHow about... "Don't worry, it's just a flesh wound." hey, did anyone else realize it's Corey Feldman's Birthday...? Posted by: Jenna at July 16, 2002 01:55 PMHow about: The best one I ever heard of, and the one I want on mine is: "We always warned her one of her childish tricks would backfire." Posted by: Janis at July 16, 2002 01:55 PM"What truck? Posted by: Jeice Guyver at July 16, 2002 02:02 PMOne of my all time faves is
"They told me they had a cure" Stop looking at me! "I ate too many shaq packs" Posted by: Lisa Marie at July 16, 2002 02:31 PMI'm going to use one of those epitaphs. No joke. I'm just having trouble deciding which one to use, LOL. Posted by: The Bob Talbot at July 16, 2002 02:37 PM"Keep laughing. Someone will be reading yours next Tuesday." "It's all fun and games until someone loses an I." "Mikey wasn't the only one who liked it." "Yeah, I'm dead, but you're still ugly." "You're standing on my unit." and... "I'm not really dead, I'm just tired of all you silly fucks." Last words of some corporal in the Civil War: "Don't worry, there's no possible way they can hit us at this dist---" That would be good on a tombstone. A green moldy tombstone with letters too big to fit on it. Actually, in truth, my response is this: "Speak for yourself, sir. I plan to live forever." Posted by: Da Schmiz at July 16, 2002 02:48 PMisn't that a Sandman quote? Posted by: Jinkster at July 16, 2002 02:50 PM"Feeds upon the blood of the Irving"!?!?!! Oh, my god! Not Irving! I don't get it. Shouldn't that be, "Feeds upon the blood of the living"? I'm missing something, aren't I? Posted by: ttrentham at July 16, 2002 02:57 PM*groan* No, Jinkster, that's a Will Riker quote. ;) Posted by: uss_sillyprise at July 16, 2002 03:16 PMOh, you are KIDDING me. I'm so not worthy these days :) But it sounds just like Hob... anyway, thanks for the smack. Maybe I should start watching tv again... Posted by: Jinkster at July 16, 2002 03:21 PM"Told you I'd live forever or die trying." Of course, there's the old standby: "I drank what?" Or "Y'all watch this." I want two stones, side-by-side, touching. On the bigger stone it says, "He never did plan ahe", and on the second stone, "ad." Bitch about the A/C. They tell us we don't need A/C in Crestline. Great, it's 102 outside and 98 inside. Thanks guys. Posted by: Timmy! at July 16, 2002 03:49 PM"Died tragically while saving his family from a destroyed sinking Battleship." Taken from Royal Tenenbaums btw how many trekkers are gonna have "s/he's dead, jim" on their tombstone? i'm surprised that nobody has posted that here yet! Posted by: davidjay at July 16, 2002 04:05 PMBeautiful. You know, I can't read Spudnuts anymore without Rob's voice in my head! Posted by: quetzal at July 16, 2002 04:06 PMHAAAA!! This post is funny and I love the other ideas people here are coming up with! Thanks, everyone. My day was sad and I needed to smile. :) Posted by: Angelwwolf at July 16, 2002 04:21 PM[unfunny stupid spur-of-the-moment phrase=1] The old standby would be, "Death is Mother Nature's way of telling you to slow down." Mine'll read, "As soon as I talk to Death, you're next." [\unfunny stupid spur-of-the-moment phrase] Posted by: The Silent Strider at July 16, 2002 04:37 PM"Dont look at me like that, it could be worse I could be dea.... awww crap" Posted by: EnglishBen at July 16, 2002 04:38 PMmy tombstone..... "ummmm, someone call a backhoe! I'm not really dead!!! HELP!!!!!!" Oughta keem em goin' for awhile. Posted by: Derf at July 16, 2002 04:59 PManother of my faves: "i told you he was trying to kill me" Posted by: kaye at July 16, 2002 05:15 PMhow about....now this is from an old commercial if you remember it. "THAT WASNT PACE PICANTE SAUCE" Posted by: Lisa Marie at July 16, 2002 05:27 PMhey it's not just the tombstones...the whole death industry is just nuts!...dead bodies embalmed, perfectly preserved, dressed, complete with makeup!...the ultimate case of all dressed up with no place to go!...like a hundred years from now there's gonna be some kind of beauty pageant for corpses...and after what they've done excavating the native american burial grounds, you just know they'll dig us all up later and put in a new subdivision!...and we'll have no choice but to get our revenge as marauding poltergeist! save time, save money...it's shake and bake for me...and dump my ashes in the nearest significant body of water...d.burr Posted by: d. burr at July 16, 2002 05:42 PMHere's what mine would probably say.... "I'm still not dead yet.... I'm getting better." Posted by: SpiderWebb at July 16, 2002 05:50 PMyou obviously haven't seen six feet under -- --His friends jumped off a cliff. favorite epitaph "Here lies Larry New, living proof of man's mortality." Or maybe something simple, no birth and death dates, just my name and pager number. Posted by: Larry at July 16, 2002 07:49 PM"look out behind you" "your message here ... call 1-800..." "Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Arimathea. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of aaaaagggh" "they really mean it when they say 'don't touch that'"
ok ok ok i know ive posted like A MILLION TIMES....but i was sitting here and i thought of the best one....
Thats whats going on mine..........after my FAV. MOVIE & SOUNDTRACK OF ALL TIME :) Lisa Marie Posted by: Lisa Marie at July 16, 2002 08:33 PMIn response to the Pace Picante Sauce epitaph... "NEW YORK CITY?!" Posted by: Courtney at July 16, 2002 09:12 PM"Still alive and kicking in a parallel universe" Posted by: Fred Fowler at July 16, 2002 09:42 PM"I see dead people. Do you?" I know its kind of stolen, but I thought it was kind of funny. And I know, enough with the kind of's. Posted by: Melissa at July 16, 2002 10:16 PMBeing an AD&D fan I think that they should be represented here as well. -- I punch the demon. --Come on guys, I have 99% magic resistance! I'll center the fireball on myself. What could -possibly- go wrong? --What what that *ka-chunk* sound when you unlocked the door? --I'm positive, there are no TRAPS in the room. --Stupid Wight. Onto other things. I'm not sure what my epithaph would say...maybe "What would you like your epitaph to say?" here's mine, if that day should every come up... "He went were, way to many have gone before"
Curse you all! I'm laughing so hard right now, I'm crying! And now for something completely different; my additions to the list: Thank you! I'm here til Thursday! Posted by: Radiofreewill at July 16, 2002 11:00 PMHow about a rhyme, Spud? 'Here lies Fred, now he's dead.' Or and this is one of my favorites, "this dead guy here is very lame, he went before he came' I must admit, there are many great comments found I'm Dead Jim. being 1 of the best... how about?, been there, done that. Posted by: wade art at July 17, 2002 12:07 AM Mine would be "I apologised to Lord Vader" I came up with: "Dont look so sad , Ill see you in no time " Spike Milligan (the late British comedian) has "I told you I was sick" on his gravestone. I'm planning on being cremated, packed into fireworks, and shot over the ocean. I feel the need to go out with a bang. Posted by: Dee at July 17, 2002 02:10 AMstolen from d.burr... "all dressed up and no place to go" Dee, I like your idea. I wonder if we can convince anyone to actualy do that. Fireworks by Grucci presents: "The Goddess" (ooh's and aah's from the crowd) Posted by: the goddess at July 17, 2002 02:18 AM..uhh.."nice" ideas. I dreamt once that i dead! it was...incredibal. I was so calm, and sad becouse I left my family...! But I don't afraid to die now!!:)) (just the pian) Posted by: Agi at July 17, 2002 02:49 AM
"I found this Epitaph on WWDN" migster Posted by: miggy at July 17, 2002 03:20 AMPersonally, my favorite has always been the one that's supposedly on Benjamin Franklin's tombstone. I don't honestly know if it really says this, but the idea of it makes me giggle. "Here lies worm food." Posted by: Shelly at July 17, 2002 05:26 AMI ate you. Posted by: yoyofool at July 17, 2002 05:39 AM"Just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean they AREN'T out to get you..." "I guess you CAN have too much chocolate!" "Listen to your mother when she says 'put on clean underwear before leaving the house'" "Could somebody feed my cat?" Posted by: tj at July 17, 2002 06:29 AMIn all seriousness...mine will probably say
My Sister-in-law didn't go for an epitaph, but she had the Federation emblem lasered in color onto my brother's headstone. He would have loved it. Of course, the eulogy given by the minister was bizarre. not knowing my brother other than that he was a huge Trek fan, and that Spock was his favorite character, and that my brother did NOT want a sermon, he ended up bringing up moral messages from Trek and then saying that Jesus was a trekkie too based on those principles. (he just had to sneak that in) It was funny as hell, and I think my brother was laughing about it somewhere. We sure were. Posted by: sapphire at July 17, 2002 06:55 AM"He had the Right-of-Way" Posted by: Ken at July 17, 2002 07:15 AMLOL! There's nothing like a few dozen zany epitaphs to start the day off right. If none of the above work for you, you may find inspiration in http://www.tapetrade.net/The_Ballad_of_Verna_and_Barry.mp3 , which was ad-libbed by a warped but musically gifted friend of mine. A bag of Jelly Babies goes to the first person to guess the background music track! Posted by: Nancy at July 17, 2002 07:22 AMIn regards to "The Ballad of Verna and Barry": Hahaha I found "He was kind of funny in an annoying sort of way" kind of funny. :) Posted by: Chelsey at July 17, 2002 08:22 AMMore rpging last words (hmm... should start a thread...) "So, you Amazons are lesbians?" "Thank God we got away from those vampires... what's all this mist in here?" *player passes note to GM* "God, we're screwed now." ... that's it for now. I love you, Spudnuts. Posted by: redhaiku at July 17, 2002 08:34 AMi like the oldie but goodie.... it wasn't the cough that carried me off it was the coffin they carried me off in! but thats not too funny....Spikes' my favourite... how about - i said cut the red wire - one for bdu... or - guess what i left you nothing.....nothing!! haha. or - i screwed your sister.... sorry getting a bit sick now.. long day at work! xx a xx Posted by: andi at July 17, 2002 10:02 AMTo quote Red Dwarf: Some gaming variations that actually happened(7th Sea, In Nomine, Call of Cthulhu) - Theres only one of them. How tough can it be? Heres my favorite. I'd have this on my grave. "Can't say I didn't enjoy it" or "She hated Scrappy-Doo" But I am not being buried. I am being cremated and I want my ashes thrown at people I did not like. Posted by: Laura at July 17, 2002 10:31 AMSPudnutz is one funny gentleman. How about --Died for our sins. As I sit here at work bored off my ass. I think of my Spudz and fondle myself under the table. One other one... "Oy!!!!! Wussy ass dragon!!!!!!" Posted by: redhaiku at July 17, 2002 10:51 AMI should have taken the blue pill ... Posted by: J3M at July 17, 2002 11:12 AMCall Before Digging: 1-800-DIG-SAFE Here's what I think I want: Brian Hart: "He loved irony and hated speling errors." Posted by: Brian at July 17, 2002 11:27 AMSpudnuts rocks my world. Thanks to all of you. I needed the laugh today. Posted by: sandra at July 17, 2002 11:53 AM[delurk]My current favorite epitaph is on my best friend's grave. She was a classy, hippie goddess (but the stupid funeral home STILL insisted on dolling her up in makeup! YUCK!). She has a marble bench with a labyrinth carved into the top of it. The front of the bench has her name and dates, along with "To Be Continued...." I love that lady.[/lurk] Posted by: Kim at July 17, 2002 12:05 PMI stole this from a friend
This is the same friend who wants to have it written into his will that any time his wife hears him reffered to as 'the late Mr. Smith' she has to say "He's not late, he's just not coming" and when people say they are sorry to hear her husband died she's supposed to say "why, did you kill him?" I just thought of this one: "hey, you ever feel that cold chill when you're in the shower???... that's me!... nice rack." Posted by: DrNudi at July 17, 2002 12:20 PM"Speak for yourself, sir. I plan to live forever." Knew that was a Riker quote 2 seconds before I read on to confirm it. As for my epitaph... for down the line. "Alas this lass never drank enough Bourbon. It's either that or one of my favorite Irish blessings- "May all your children be born naked" "May you be in Paradise a half an hour before any demons know your dead!" Sorry a weekend with 50 irish New Yorkers drinking constantly has me buzzin' Irish. -MKF I'd like the following. A gravestone that says "GAME OVER" with a little insert of the same matching rock mounted on it with a spring. Like a button you could push that says "RESET". :D Posted by: Linnhe at July 17, 2002 12:30 PMHere are my options: 1) Be burried with a tombstone that reads one of the following:
a) put into the coffee makers of my least favorite people. b) be scattered in the wind to become a cinder in someon's eye. Posted by: Brian Bock at July 17, 2002 12:32 PMThat was very funny! I love this one:"It's fucking dark in here" Posted by: Brandon at July 17, 2002 12:51 PMWell, it's like this: tombstones aren't there for your amusement. And they're not there for the deceased. They're for the bereft -- you know, those people who will visit the grave year after year and solemnly/joyfully/tearfully contemplate the life of their deceased love one, as well as their own mortality. The bereft are rarely in the mood to be witty and clever so that some cemetery loiterer can get his jollies for a few minutes. If you want pithy cleverisms, scan the car bumpers at your local parking lot. Posted by: ToastedAmigo at July 17, 2002 12:54 PMAmigo, I hope my bereft "get it" as much as I do. Folks, the thing is, the best you can hope to do is affect about 500 years of bystanders, but 490 of those years aren't going to be about today's popular culture. So when you compose, do avoid epitaphs that require an understanding of the latest Mtn. Dew commercials. "Forty-two." Posted by: Chewie at July 17, 2002 01:26 PMIf ya wanna mess with the future historians... "My Mother was a Test-Tube, My Father was a Knife" Or, this is funny.... "All your base are belong to us." Posted by: Ken at July 17, 2002 02:05 PM"See, I TOLD you I was sick." Posted by: Ken at July 17, 2002 02:20 PMThis one is TOO easy! So many good ones, but I'll just post two. "I plan to live forever, and I'm doing good so far -- oh damnit!" "Do me a favor and listen for a pounding noise." Posted by: MacManKrisK at July 17, 2002 02:42 PMComing here to see me? This makes you feel better? Coming here to see me? This makes you feel better? I once saw this gravestone saying: "Our father was a hypochondriac. But this time he was right" Whoa! Bye, Helene Posted by: Helene at July 17, 2002 03:35 PMWil, and everyone, ok another one I came up with is " I should have known she was married" just had to add it. Later, Great Ideas. How 'bout: * The brochure said I'd get my own whole damn pyramid! * Here lies Joe Smith: * Yeah? Wait until you hear about *my* day. * Go do something fun - I'm not going anywhere * Guess how high the watertable is? * Okay, next time I'll get a proffesional to install the new stove! * That was quick. * I like heaven - there's no conservatives! * STOP IT! Now your making ME feel sad! * Don't try the fish. * ...and I'm still hungover * Next time I'll drive! * 3 wars and a Navy Seal snipper for 30 years - and I die on the crapper! As one who hangs out in cemeteries, looking for celebrity graves, I had to laugh at this. The best one out there is, "Go Away - I'm Asleep" on Joan Hackett's grave. We have also found funny names, like Shady Lane (no joke, I have a pic). Posted by: Karen at July 17, 2002 04:12 PMMy favourite tombstone is this one: HERE LIES LESTER MOORE Speaking of Johnny Cash... "They live by a six-gun, That threeway offer still standing, Spudnuts? "This stuff'll kill you." A giant obituary in the paper caught my eye the other day. After "years of bitter depression", a local psychiatrist committed suicide. The obit said he was hung himself, and was "eventually found in the basement." Kind of unusual to include that little detail in there -- usually they just put something vague like "passed away peacefully". I was thinking it might be more interesting to put specifics in the obits... if my only near-brush with death had ended badly, my obit might have read: "She choked on chocolate." It would be nice to think that my death could temporarily entertain complete strangers. Posted by: MockTurtle at July 17, 2002 07:04 PMHi all, I want a button that says "click here" on mine.

His gravestone is to read: I told you I was ill! He wanted to be buried in a washing machine - to confuse archaeologists… What is with all the death around your site? Posted by: Brian at July 18, 2002 07:52 PM- Professional Jackass. I like cemeteries, too. They're very peaceful, and it's interesting to see what people have written. One that stuck out in my mind for some reason said, "Gone Fishin'" While I'm more for the scatter-my-ashes-here, here, and here school of thought... if I had to have some sort of epitaph, I suppose it would read something like, "Woo-Hoo!"

The most recent additions had me laughing until I got the hiccups! A couple more from me to you: -Whoever you are, I'm sorry I didn't live up to your expectations. I'm also sorry I didn't live Hey Amanda, shouldn't that be "I Poked Badgers With Spoons" (past tense)? Posted by: Radiofreewill at July 19, 2002 01:13 AM"Hey, stay! I'm hungry!" Posted by: Agi at July 19, 2002 03:05 AM"If you are close enough to read this, then get off! How about some respect for the dead, numbnuts?" "Shows at 8 and 10 Nightly" "I'm going to haunt your house!" "I'd still rather be me than Pauley Shore" Posted by: Zeno at July 19, 2002 07:20 AM"Move along; nothing to see here." Although I'll probably go for some words of encouragement, such as "This could be you tomorrow, so live while you can!" Posted by: Kvan at July 19, 2002 03:02 PMBilly Connelly has the best idea for a tombstone. At the back will be a speaker and on the tombstone will be extremely small writing so when people walk forward onto the grave to see what is written they will step on a pressure point which will set the speaker off and Billy's voice will shout out, 'Oi, get off, your standing on my balls', classic. Posted by: Chris at July 20, 2002 07:29 AMI desire to be buried under one of the following epitaphs: * </LIFE> My god...those are hilarious! I like the "He was funny in an annoying sort of way." Your a funny guy Spudnuts. Posted by: Kaitlin at July 20, 2002 11:00 AMThe funniest damn tombstone I ever saw was in Tampa. It had the dude's name and birthdate and "Murdered by the U.S. Army." Funnier still, there was no date of death listed. "worms crawl in the worms crawl out." Posted by: bluecat-redblanket at July 21, 2002 11:50 AM"Klatu! Vertatu!....mmrrmmbleATU! There, I said the freakin words!" How about: - I *still* don't like doctors. - Please, I like to be referred to as the chicken "lover". Here lies Jim Bob "Bubba" McGwinn "Hey, get off of my grave! You're killing me here! Geez, I can't breathe!" Okay okay, stop I'm busting a gut here.... 'ROTFLMAO' Sorry had to add my two cents, What do you expect for 2 cent?? Spudnuts, your a charator! Look what you started! later! Posted by: tye at July 22, 2002 05:32 PM~~ "Brains ... Braainns" ~~ "I'm standing behind you" remember Posted by: d. burr at July 24, 2002 05:18 PMThere is a gravestone nearby here that says "Not Dead, Only Sleeping." Freaky as anything to walk past after a marathon of zombie movies, but it's kind of cool. Posted by: Ash at July 24, 2002 05:58 PMBurried here beneath this clay Mine: Oops! It should read: I really embarrassed myself to death this time. Posted by: Jim M at July 26, 2002 11:46 AM"Pull My Finger" There is a gravestone, in some graveyard on some island in the Florida keys that I saw on Australian tv last year. Simply put it had the name of the deceased, the appropiate dates, and then the writing underneath, 'TOLD YOU I WAS SICK!' I laughed for 3 days straight. At least one old guy had a sence of humour. Posted by: Karina at April 22, 2003 01:48 PMgotta gravestone for ya "here lies a fucker(only one, he left his chicks at home). One word for him:ambition.
