Ok Misa was considering putting people's names and maybe funny sayings on gravestones.

I for one am VERY supersitious and DO NOT want my name on any grave, even if its just my karma name. *spits to ward off jinx*    Tongue
waaay too creepy for me. Undecided

   So I'm curious and wanted to know:

1. who WANTS their name on a gravestone and maybe a funny saying with it.

2. who DOES NOT want their name on a grave and is superstitious like me!!

3. suggestions for cool/funny names can we put on gravestones.

Suppose I will have to ask in chat too, but would like to see those that are in forum's response and feedback.

(hopefully not bad) Karma

I don't want my name on a gravestone.  I'm not superstitious exactly, but I believe what you put your energy into is affected by that.

I have no problem with a tombstone with my name on it - heck, some might even enjoy seing it ;-)

I have no qualms with seeing my name in granite.

Sayings.. hmmm....

  I beat you in the human race (doesnt really work for tinies)

  He who dies with the most toys...
    is still dead

  Let me out!!

  And they said I couldn't drink the whole thing!

  They said he was only sleeping.
    They were right.

  Hey!  Get off my lawn!

  Watch your step, please!

  Quiet!  I'm trying to sleep down here!

  I can see up your skirt and
    You aren't wearing any panties!

  Here he lies. He wouldn't be neat. He came in the house without wiping his feet.

  I knew I shouldn't have eaten the worm

One of my faves:
  Stop ye stranger and cast an eye...
  As you are now, so once was I.
  As I am now so you shall be
  Prepare for death and follow me.

And an entire web page of them:

A few more!

  I told you I was sick!

  I knew this was going to happen to me

  I Am Woman / Hear Me Roar / And Boy Did She

  Here lies an atheist / All dressed up, / And no place to go

  Here I lie, snug as a bug in a rug
(then, two rows down in same cemetary)
  Here I lie, snugger than that other bugger

  I was Raglan Born / and Raglan bred / and here I lay / Raglan dead!

  We all have a debt / To nature due / I've paid mine / And so must you.

  Grim death took me / without any warning. / I was well at night, / and dead in the morning.

  Wherever you be, / Let your wind go free. / For holding it in, / Was the killing of me.

  He got a fish-bone in his throat / and then he sang an angel note.

  Grim Death / To Please His Palate / Has Taken My Lettice / To Put in His Sallat.

  Blown upward / out of sight: / He sought the leak / by candlelight

  His foot is slipt / and he did fall. / "Help; Help" he cried / and that was all.

  Dinah had a little can / 'Twas filled with kerosine / And soon among the twinkling stars / Dynamite Benzine.
(Dinah might been seen)

  Once I wasn't / Then I was / Now I ain't again.

Oh YES!   
I always wanted something like this, but I don't know if I'll ever get a tombstone irl (or rather ird!) so what I'd like on mine:

A treasure lies buried here
(arrow down)

 

[Legolas Ceawlin]

 A treasure lies buried here!  I love it!

[Edward Pearse]

I told you I was sick!

Spike Milligan has this on his grave.

[Sarah Irling]

My late sister insisted that on her tombstone it read "See, Told you I was sick".  The cemetary tried to fight it, but she said if not, she would be buried elsewhere.  My sister's wish was granted.  Now her gravestone is one of the most popular where she is buried.  The director told us that when people visit their lost friends and family, they always make a stop on the way out at my sister's grave.  Even in death she is still putting a smile on their faces.

[Legolas Ceawlin]

That's a great story, Sarah, and a great legacy.  I'm glad she stuck to it and got her way!
