What to do with the useless dead meat? Really? Slingshot me into the sun.

all i know is there won't be a mess

'Toad - that's brilliant. Really sums up my day!

Cloud 10-21-2009 09:31 PM

wait a minute, wait a minute.

No, it's NOT OKAY THAT I'M DEAD!

I want a full funeral, church, Masonic attendance, military honors and guards, the works. Horse-drawn caisson optional. A trucker funeral procession would be nice too.

Pie, when you pass on, the whole internet is going to be turned off for 48 hours in respect for the fallen alpha-geek.


Me? Don't really care at the moment. Funerals are not for the deceased, but are for the benefit of the families left behind.

So, at present, take me to the chop shop, re-use all usable bits, let medical students learn from the rest.

Just drop me off in the woods somewhere: the bears have got to eat too. ;)

That explains a lot.

PS: Jazz for me, the mo' the better - preferably free improvised.

If'n I lived in the US I'd want to go to the Body Farm.
I'd get more young, educated men looking at me in death than I ever did in life ;)

But, yeah. Donation & then as low key a thing as can be managed.
If possible, stick me in a wood somewhere, in an eco-friendly coffin. Or a hemp sack or whatever.

If the 'rents go first there won't be anyone to mourn IRL. I'd hope you'd raise a glass to me though.
Seriously, my bro knows to contact this place if anything happens to me.
Although I prefer to think of it as me having a brief spell in hospital with a dangerous-sounding but otherwise benign ailment. So I can come back and read all the lovely things you've written.

It's less fun if it happens after I die.

Funerals are for those left behind. So I'd want something they would like. Something tasteful, I suppose. I really don't give a shit myself. But donate my organs if you can.

Trilby 10-22-2009 07:53 AM

I understand some people don't care what is done with "the body" after death - I'm talking the party part. Your body doesn't have to be in attendance. IRL, my body is going to the medical school. I won't be there, but I would love the jazz thing in my name - but it has to be in NOLA and it has to be led by a drunken Krewe and I'd like it to end at Marie LaVeau's grave in St. Louis cemetery #1. (at least that is where they THINK she is)

And so long as the body is still warm...

Has to be Viking.

I'm Danish. Interesting thing about the Vikings. Viking in Dane actually means pirate. The Vikings were actually outlaw pirates. It was Hollywood that gave the Vikings their rough, rugged, heroic, womanizing ways that cool image. The Viking pirates were bloodthirsty ocean pirates. They would go to Monestaries and kill all the Monks, steal everything and leave. Wait a year or two and come back and do it all over again. The bad part was these Monestaries had no arms to defends themselves - they were Monks.

So... I'll do the Vikling "send me out to the ocean in a boat" thing. One request though... I want a haircut and a bottle of Old Spice.

you'd think after a dozen or so raids the Monks would've figured it out and moved or something. ? I'm certainly no expert on the matter; it's just a thought. :vikingsmi

Only the bad part for the monks. ;)
