A sad realization

[bluegargantua]

Hey,

I just realized what they'll carve on my tombstone:

"...IN MY PANTS!"

I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm partial to the epitaph: "He died as he lived: ON IMPACT!", but I stole that from dinosaur comics so probably not. Maybe it could be: "He died as he lived: a slut". I could live (die?) with that.

I mean, ideally, my tombstone won't have that second date filled in and I'll have it hanging in my spaceship as a reminder of how dumb we all were back when we had meat bodies and now I just cart it around because accelerating it to near lightspeed while I ride the circuitry is just how I show off how awesomely powerful I am, but that's probably not going to happen.

Combine the two. "He lived as he died: IN HIS PANTS!"

Yea, but I bet he dies not wearing pants. This is Tom here...

I just want to die like Attila the Hun, that's all I ask.

Better than the queen that purportedly died from being crushed by the horse that was servicing her...

What, strolling around your yurt, surveying your conquered lands, then all of a sudden, "Hwoh!" and fall over?


No wait, that was Genghis Kahn's famous death...

[bluegargantua]

Yeah, Atila took his child-bride to bed on their wedding night and his "little death" became a full on "real death".

So perhaps a nice solution to this would be to be buried next to someone else... their tombstone says "He died as he lived: in my pants." Yours says "see: ibid."

I'm starting to agree with Asciikitty: "YOU ARE NOT WELL" ;P

You do not have enough faith in technology!
