h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

as you go through life my brother, whatever be your goal
keep your eyes apon the doughnut and not apon the hole!!
p.s don't feed the animals

I'd like to steal Spike Milligans epitaph ......"I told you I was ill"

I also like "Then Eccentric, Now Dead"

A Chris Morris-ism but strangely fitting for an old freak such as myself.

Here lies the body of Demon Drawer
No more articles churning over,
Busily in his active head.
Everyone knows he was well read,
From sport, to literature and tea,
We’ll greatly miss our dear DD.

Don't weep for me now
Don't weep for me never
I'm going to do nothing
For ever and ever

So what was that all about then?

I rather like the Ctrl-Alt-Del It beats the "At Ease" my wife and I have on our stone. (Both ex-military). I was quite insistent that no closing date was applied to my segment, mind you.

I have liked every single one what you guys have put up, so i would like to put mine up.

Here i lie broken hearted,
I know i smell but i am departed.

How about:

"Finally, a deadline I couldn't avoid."

or

"Here lies Gradient.
As usual."

Oh, dear life, you were great when we started,
but now, tis the end, so I have departed.

They say for someone like Ollie Reed "He's gone to the bar in the sky" or for someone like a jockey they say "he's gone to the racetrack in the sky". How about "He's under the ground in a box"?
A fitting anti-climax for 70 years that never looked like reaching a climax anyway.

How about:

*He's gone to a better place if you consider being buried in a box six feet deep a better place.*

Good for athiests and agnostics alike...

cl zoomer -

I would personally rather donate my body to science than have it buried. Such a waste.

the burying v cremation argument cant understand where people are coming from when they say they dont want to be buried because they don't want maggots crawling through their body. Eh?

They're dead anyway. What does it matter???

Eggs-actly. But even so *I'd rather be burned to ashes than rot.* is a very odd thing to think anywho.

If you are buried then you are inside a sealed coffin anyway, it will be a long time before you get eaten by maggots, you will probably only be boned by that time.

there better be a bar in hell!!! and do they have ice?
