I know it's a little wordy, but I would love this quote by NDT to appear on my tombstone:
"I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime."
What do you want on yours?

I think I would have John Cleese doing his Dead Parrot sketch

Permalink Reply by James Cox on December 28, 2012 at 8:30pm Could mine have a functional avatar app, that goes out into cyberspace and looks for anything in the news feed that validates some petpeave or prediction for the future? Then everytime someone walks by, the avatar says,'hay you, yes, you in the stupid silver outfit, I noticed that you are wearing the new Microsoft sneaker line, whats the matter with you, religion was not good enough, so you had to pay 4000 credits for them?'
If this was possible, I expect that vandelism would become a whole new growth industry, paid by other family members, to finally silence nerdowell dead family. I expect that a few/most, would have such irritating avatars, that even the secret service would offer their services. LOL

I've made plans to be cremated (no ceremony) and dumped into the ocean, so a epitaph would not be in order, however a few lines of Jimmy Buffett would please me: "Mother, Mother Ocean, I have heard your call... wanted to sail your waters since I was 3 ft tall"
