Write your own epitaph . . .
July 28th 2008 00:58
Sounds easy – but is it?
Afterall – it is your final words to the world, a statement – something that will need to live on long after you’ve gone and something that will not only need to be truly representative of your life but display something of your own personality.
They are words you want to be remembered by.
Ok - so apparently words are cheap – but when the deeds you are judged by have faded and the friends and family you keep are no longer there – what would be your autobiographical footnote to the masses.

such sexyness never was before
nor will ever be after
Upon this Earth.

It will indeed be a sad day for all when this epitaph is eventually written.
Though I'm guessing, John Doe, Fog, Cib, Bryn et al would have something to say about this
Cheers buddy

laughed as you now do,
cherished memories as you now do;
But sooner or later, you will join me,
a pile of bones six feet under ground,
with people reading your epitah
- as you now do.
or more to the point -
Get off my fucking grave!
You're standing on my face

Very clever . . . spooky (and a lttle weird) but very clever.

How do you respond to that!
Lest to say that the more succinct version certainly grab my attention.
Nice . . .

Here's to you
Here's to me
Here's to friends who'll always be
And if by chance you don't agree
Then, F*@% you
Here's to Me!
Love & stuff

Love is the slowest form of suicide,
And that's what got me-
Avoid Cupid's arrows like the plague.

So many applications . . . High School cheers, pubs, social events, wedding toasts - hmmmm - perhaps not wedding toasts.
Nice

Boy - salient - but don't know if I'd want these to be the words I would want people to remember me by.
I guess the truth is sometimes unpalatable.
Stay well

(actually, that's one from a Key West gravestone, but it's a good one)
or

I'm not sure how may grave stones there are in Key West, but "I told you I was sick" is definitely and most famously Spike Milligan's epitaph.
I like that it's comical and has great double entendre.
I think if I was going to have one it would read:
"Not here by choice"
OR
"F**k off with your flowers - its my grave not a friggan garden"

Yes, I love the sense of the absurd-especially with death issues. Death always gets the last word in...
Also loved Oscar Wilde's last words on his deathbed: "Either that wallpaper goes, or I do!"
Great epitaphs!
