Ok, you're dead...

Trilby · 10-21-2009, 03:27 PM

Now what? What kind of funeral do you want?

Choose wisely, weedhopper. This goes on your permanent record. I'm torn between New Orleans-Style and Viking. Maybe I'll mix the two to come up with mine.

fargon · 10-21-2009, 03:31 PM

I wanna party.

Pie · 10-21-2009, 03:41 PM

No funeral. At all. There was damn little to say about me while I was alive; why would anyone want to talk about me when I'm gone?

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.

Well, I wouldn't leave this world BEFORE my beloved, and, I'd not want to be a part of it WITHOUT her...

So, we'd be going, together, and, well...

Cremation. On top of one another. Tendons not cut.

Gettin' jiggy with it, all the way to the great beyond!

One last piece of ash.

hmm. Don't like jazz, am not a warrior (Viking style only good for men!) and Elvis is okay in small quantities, but . . .

I guess I really don't care, except there should be food. And preferably, some games. (those who know me well will understand).

And no religion.

smoothmoniker · 10-21-2009, 04:27 PM

Call everybody I ever gigged with, have them bring their axes, rent a studio, throw a helluva jam.

Sheldonrs · 10-21-2009, 04:34 PM

All of me will be going to a medical school, except for any donatable organs. If anything is leftover, they can dump it in the trash for all I care.

After donation and cremation, I want a celebration! then throw my ashes off Glacier Point when no-one's looking......

lumberjim · 10-21-2009, 05:05 PM

love the viking idea

Cloud · 10-21-2009, 05:12 PM

You would. Bri, you can't go to Valhalla--you'll end up spending eternity serving mead to the warriors while they party. Bah!

and besides--where are you going to find a place to burn an entire ship? or bury it? or, for that matter, the ship . . .

or pyre. Do they even let you do that? or . . .

shutting up now.

you're so right! I would HATE that stuff!

Have to re-group here...maybe I just want to hang around and haunt?

I always tell my wife when I buy the farm, to throw a party and get laid. She blushes demurely and tells me to shush. Seriously, I don't think it really matters...not one bit.

regular.joe · 10-21-2009, 06:53 PM

PS..it matters what we do while we are alive.
