Ok so you're dead. What do you want generations to read when they look at where you're laid to rest.

Mine will be:

Kegboy
1974-whenever

the coffee was good

Mazarine

02:39 / 01.12.03

Okay, the first thing that comes to mind is:

"Mazarine. 1980 - 2078(?)

Off to go and pick a fight with Bert Brecht, Kostya Stanislavski, and a bunch of other dead Scandinavians, Russians, and assorted Europeans. Look for me in my latest reincarnation in about six months. Oh, and no plastic flowers, please. It's 2078, we should have something better."

Okay, so I'm gonna need a monument.

Tryphena Sparks

Better, brighter, quicker and more agile than you. Really.

'Did not go gently into that good night,
Fought against the dying of the light'
Beloved by all our great Emperor is missed,
Died as he had lived- pissed.

Although of course 1,150 years is a conservative estimate for my age at death

I'll be back, Goddamnit.

In much the same style:

six feet down, but digging fast.

or:

I'm not in right now, please leave a message

though frankly, anything this side of "Sponsored by McDonalds" will do.

Or something. I don't know. I do like the 'Enemies' line, though.

A pop-up tombstone that says "bjacques! Be as h4rd as this tombstone! No prescription needed!"

Cheap. Easy. Cruel.

1975-?
He lived well.

Here lies Money $hot

1974 - ?

Back soon.

I was dead for billions of years before I was alive and it didn't inconvenience me at all. This, however, sucks.

Hmm... what's an accurate Latin translation of 'So Long, Suckers'?

fussycat

13:12 / 01.12.03

I don't want a tombstone. If you put my remains in the ground and put a stone on top of them I'll come back and haunt you. Ruthlessly.

Like to thank my Mother
For inventing Rock'n'Roll
I'd be lost without it
I would not be whole.

Or any of the rest of the Tombstone lyrics.

Seriously: "Bisexual Feminist". If one can have "Loving Wife and Mother", then I am owed at least that much. And I will hope not to be declawed by the shifting patterns of linguistic usage.

Matthew Fluxington

14:42 / 01.12.03

I'd like something to the effect of "he was the best chain fighter ever," even if that's a total lie. Especially if it is a lie, actually.

Cheap. Easy. Cruel.

15:16 / 01.12.03

Pepperoni and Black Olives

pointless and uncalled for

What the hell are you looking at?
