gravestone quotes

[dehro]

what is going to be yours?

I'm torn between

"what are you looking at?"

and

I prepared explosive runes

[The Glyphstone]

I always liked the picture of the one that said

"Respawn Timer: 9"

Here's some - at least claiming to be - factual, amusing gravestone quotes:

[Telonius]

No gravestone for me. Put me in a little boat, set it out on the ocean, and light the thing on fire.

[Lady Tialait]

"Here lies Fred,
A rock hit him in the head,
Nothing more can be said,
For we do not speak unkindly of the dead."

or

"I told you I was sick!"

[Atelm]

If I was to choose one at present, I'd try to write up something similar to the Witch's Epitaph (http://umineko.wikia.com/wiki/The_Witch%27s_Epitaph).

[Theodoriph]

Here lies a simple man, who died of complications.

[The Glyphstone]

His Last Words: "I'm not dead yet!"

[Adlan]

In a Thurmont, Maryland, cemetery
Here lies an Atheist
All dressed up
And no place to go.


I like that one.

I won't be buried. Can't put me in a Jewish Cemetary in any case, and I'd prefer to burn, or green burial.

Pretty good article. My reaction to this one:

On the 22nd of June
Jonathan Fiddle -
Went out of tune.

:smallcool:

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAH

[Cyrion]

Delle zampe sul mio naso.

No one but my wife would understand it, but that's OK.

[Icewalker]

Sic labitur aetas

[[Thus passes a lifetime]]

[dehro]

Delle zampe sul mio naso.

No one but my wife would understand it, but that's OK.
you've either got a cat... or a very weird wife :smallbiggrin:

sorry, couldn't help myself

[Cyrion]

Yes to both, actually, as well as a copy of Sword in the Stone.

awww...that's sweet!

[Dr.Epic]

I'll put a question mark at the end of my death date kind of like how movies did that with the word The End? to imply a sequel.

[GrlumpTheElder]

"I told you I was sick!"

As used by Spike Milligan :)

I live three minutes away from where he's burried :smallbiggrin:

[Marillion]

"Maybe I used too many monkeys."

[IonDragon]

"See you soon"

[Lycan 01]

"Get off my head!"

"They said I couldn't take it with me.
So I burned all my money and wealth
And burried the ashes with me.
HA!!"

[Tricksy Hobbits]

"Maybe I used too many monkeys."

You have that song stuck in your head too? I thought I was the only one.

Anyway, I wouldn't mind something about using concrete to keep me from rising as a zombie.
Or "I lost The Game and now you all did too."

[Lycan 01]

I lost The Game, jerk. >.>


"I beat you in the Human Race."

[Emperor Ing]

"Epic Fail"

[Ichneumon]

"It was inevitable."

[Dogmantra]

"You think I have it bad? You feel sorry for me?
You're the one standing in a field full of dead people."

[Eldan]

"If only I had learned to play chess..."

[The Glyphstone]

"Rez please."

[Dvandemon]

It's dark in here
>.>
<.<

[Grumpy-Mcfart]

"wait a minute, I had a 22!"

that or "a study in decomposition"

[The_JJ]

"Here Lies One Whose Name was Writ in Water"

[Eldan]

"Here Lies One Who's Name Was Chiseled In Stone:

[Name here]"

[Cobalt]

I'm torn between these two:

"See you next Tuesday."

"I rolled a one."



More seriously, though:

"At last, I rest."

[Devils_Advocate]

Huh. That's actually missing the one that I find most memorable. Allow me, then:


Remember, friend,
as you pass by:
As you are now,
so once was I.
As I am now,
you too shall be.
Prepare, therefore, to follow me.

[Lord Raziere]

"Checkmate"

that is all.

[Cyrion]

awww...that's sweet!

And our friends can't stand to be around us!

[Eldan]

"Checkmate"

that is all.

"HOW DO THE LITTLE HORSES MOVE AGAIN?"

[dehro]

And our friends can't stand to be around us!

well...you DID marry a squirrel :smallbiggrin:

[Cyrion]

In a way- she's adorable, has frenetic energy and runs around all over the place interspersed with sitting calmly and watching the world go by, and has a very nice tail. :smallamused:

I must say that I am terribly impressed that you knew the Italian and a fairly obscure Disney film well enough to recognize the reference quickly!

And to come back to the original topic of the thread:

It's only a flesh wound!

[Inhuman Bot]

"NO EXTRA LIVES!?! NO CONTINUES?!"

Yes, I'm an avgn fan.

disney classics aren't obscure! (also, I watched them all either in dutch or italian to begin with..which helps :smallwink:)

[Mercenary Pen]

"I'm sorry, I can't answer the door just now..."

[TheThan]

Here lies Lester Moore,
Four shots from a .44
No less, no moor

Famous epitaph from boot hill.

How about this:

“I’ll be back”

[littlebottom]

i dont want anything in my grave stone other than a TV monitor and 2 controllers spouting out the sides to play pac man or pong or space invaders :smalltongue:

or mario kart or sonic, or bomberman... well virtually anything people can pop along and play for the fun of it :smallsmile:

ive not really thought seriously about it. because i hope not to die soon.

[Frozen_Feet]

"Not home right now. Will return in three days."

"I was right."

"And so as you read these words telling you now of my state, I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could, but it's too late."

"Ottakaa te ilo irti elämästä, ja täyttäkäätte ikävyyden lovi. Myöhäistä on silloin kun tuonen tuvil' tullaan, ja hiljainen on mullan musta povi."

"Neener-Neener!"

"Raiding Hell. Will be back in a sec."

"Taking it up with the management."

"So long, suckers!"

My gravestone will be a small, portable memorial with a photo or something. My body won't be anywhere near, as the last thing I'll do is go to a forest and pick up a fight with a wolf / bear / moose / wolverine / hippo / elephant / crocodile / dragon, and presumably be eaten by said critter once it's done.

That said, if my offspring are so inclined, they can fetch my bones and make a chair out of them or something. Or maybe I'll just pick a fight with them. :smallbiggrin:

[Mystic Muse]

"Okay, I'm dead. Happy now?"

Or that "No extra lives no continues?" one.

Might think of more later

[mucat]

One of my favorites has always been the epitaph that the Hungarian mathematician and all around crazy cool guy Paul Erdős wanted for his gravestone:

"Végre nem butulok tovább".
("I have finally stopped getting dumber").

(They didn't use it. If I'm ever in Hungary, I'm totally finding his grave and changing it. Though I'm certain I'm the first geek to hatch that plan, so either it'll already be done or the cemetery will have countermeasures in place.)

[Partof1]

"Do not mourn for I have died, celebrate, for I have lived."

"I have accepted that nothing is eternal, and pray you do the same"

Though I would like a less than serious epitaph should one come up, I couldn't imagine giving one to any people I know now, whether they wanted it or not.
