Epitaphs

[Lynneski]

Ok, maybe it's the recent passing of Hallow's Eve and All Saints Day ... maybe it's the approach of the shortest day of the year ... maybe it's the last of the leaves have fallen from the maple outside my window ... whatever the reason, I find myself in a somewhat morbid mood today.

So, here's today's topic: Epitaphs. Some famous samples:

"That's All Folks." - Mel Blanc

"And Away We Go." - Jackie Gleason

"If after I depart this vale you ever remember me and have some thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner, and wink your eye at some homely girl." - H.L. Mencken

Anyone want to take a run at your own epitaph? Or write someone else's?

"Here lies Lynne Sosnowski.
She ran with scissors."

"Either that wallpaper goes or I do."
oscar Wilde

"Here lies Taxi Trix, the comic.
Not Catholic, Jew, hindu, islamic.
He's died before,
and played the bore,
but this time was the plague bubonic."


- can't shake this limerick thing.

"Here lies the man who stuck 382 lentils to a steel flying fish." (my epitaph).

Really, this topic is more morbid than Jim's attempt to get us to revisit our experiences at Halifax. I simply cannot afford the therapy anymore.

Harry Truman asked that his grave stone had the words "Here Lies A Real Son of a Bitch."
Unfortunatly he passed before his wife and she did not allow that on his grave stone.

For me, I want just "He was a real smart ass."

Not sure of my epitaph yet, maybe something to do with stilt walking marathons? I just got back to Denver from again stilting the Dublin Marathon. What a BLAST.

I AM saving up for a 9 foot casket however!

Walking Tall, (a lot) and stretching imaginations!

i havent actually decided on a epitaph...but as a clown with somewhat morbid tendencies (dont worry,martin,youre still king) i have thought about my funeral....
it should be a closed casket,with dado on the p.a. slowly,methodically,churning away at a Jack-in-the-box....slowing painfully at "pop goes the weasel."
people who know me would expect no less...
