Headstones-18.jpg

A few years back me and my brother got talking. I think one of the Star Trek actors had just had his ashes flown into the sun. And we asked each other how we wanted to be buried/cremated etc.

I always thought that I would want a funny headstone and possibly a funeral with ludicrous music and a giant picture of me grinning and giving a thumbs up. And to get the priest to read out embarassing things about my family to make them blush.

How do you want to be buried? All solemn and teary or what?

First of all if I'm dead in 30 years I'll be pissed off. I plan on making it at least till 75.

I don't necessarily want a funny funeral but I do want people to have a good time. Make it a party. Have some drinks and just sit around telling stories about how great my horror video game panel was back in 2011. Stuff like that.

I have instructions in my will that there be no funeral or marker, and that I be disposed of in the most economical fashion.  I will live on only in my internet footprint.  If I were to have a funny gravestone it would be a phrase from baseball commentary, I think I heard this the most in one of the All-Star Baseball games on the N64 "The inning is over, but the damage is done".

If all we're talking about is what we want, then I'll go out saving the world.

In reality, it'll probably be sitting in an apartment until the stench is strong enough that it starts bothering the neighbours.  At which point, toss me in the woods for all I care.

I want a full week of national mourning, and my body to be disposed of in a hundred meter tall funeral pyre, with flames fueled by the immolation of a thousand burros.

Then my ashes should be flushed through the toilet, and my memory cursed for all generations to come.

In reality, a party would be nice. People hanging around having a drink, and a good time while remembering weird shit that I've pulled on them.

Oh and my advice is to be a organ donor. I dreamt about this thread last night, and reminded myself that organ donation is really important.  I have an associate who had a heart transplant, her life has been extended by almost 20 years so far.

What if you don't have organs, then what?!

I don't want to be recycled in a toilet or something, that's gross. Not that it matters because for me time is non linear and never ending. I have already seen all your deaths, and I have seen me dancing on all your graves.

Don't be selfish Iga!

When you are terminated, donate your parts to someone who needs 'em!

I'll donate my organ to some fine looking women.
