I've been thinking about it. I've thought of the old standards like, "Hey asshole! You're standing on my face." "I could have sworn the light was green." "I just knew I shouldn't have gone out with that ax murderer." yadda yadda yadda. on and on. I must come up with something before I die. Otherwise I'll be stuck with one of those boring born this time, died this time, beloved wife, mother, things. I hate those. No style. After all this this is the very last thing you have to represent you when you can't speak for yourself anymore. We're more than that people! Think about it now. what do you want written there? Do you really want to be one of the millions of beloved born and died dead people? Or do you wanna stand out in a crowd. I personally intend to be a lively dead person. So how about it? What do you want written on your tombstone?

LOL Wayne.
I'll be creamated as well, Crabby. Hadn't really thought about this much but, on one of my ancestors, John Peter, the grave marker reads:
"Remember man as you pass by. As you are now once was I. As I am now you must be. Prepare for death and follow me."
Kinda spooky, huh? Being a biker, I'll have some of my ashes painted on one of my Harleys. Maybe I'll have a sort of crypt with my urn and the rest of my ashes in it on our land with an encryption that reads:
"Trust me, I'm still on my Harley."

That's some pretty deep shit! I am not sure what I want to say yet, but it has to be a totally funny, smart ass saying. If people don't leave my tombstone with a smile on their face then I didn't do my job. What if my stone was in the shape of something....maybe a big pile of shit that says "I left my mark on society and now I am just fertilizer".Hhhmm kinda cheesy, I better think on it a bit more!
Love your blog!!
Poor, Linda. Maybe she could toss a pillow case over you during, well, moments. Sadly, somehow I have a feeling you'd wiggle your way out.
Hey Doc, I like the idea of mixing you with the Harley paint. Then people could say, "Doc put a lot of himself in this bike." ahhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha!
Trouble, I think that's a good one. Definitely go with that.
Hey Tumbleweed! Thanks for the compliment. Stick around and play. I wonder would it be much more expensive to have your stone shaped like shit. Cause I could loan you one of Lucy's loads. After awhile if you don't pick them up they get kind of petrified. I never tried writing on one but I betcha you could.
Milky, if I told ya once I told ya 4 times, I'm not doin all your work for ya. But in this case. snicker snicker. I might make an exception. If ya promise to use what I come up with.
Jane! At least give me a couple of hairs to bury or something. You of all people need a kickin stone. I'll help come up with your epitaph (how in thee hell do you spell that?" Anyway, I'll write one for ya. You can trust me with your final message to the world. Egads! ya know, you just gave me the best idea. By Yiminey! I'm gonna leave my DNA behind to be cloned. there could be a whole army of crabcakes. I get all tingly just thinking about it.
I'm going to be cremated. I would like on my urn, that I insist Linda keeps in the bedroom, " I'm watching"
