What do you want on your Tombstone?

Please tell me I'm not terribly dating myself by making that reference. That couldn't have been THAT long ago, right? RIGHT?

So, anyway... this morning, I'm digging through my underwear drawer (what? Doesn't every truly great blog post start with "I'm digging through my underwear drawer" ??) trying to find the stuff in the back because, let's face it, it was slim pickins in there. And I say out loud, to nobody in particular "God, I really need to do laundry."

And hubs, who was in the room at the time, chuckles this evil little snarly laugh thing and says "That will be your epitaph!"

I guess I say that a lot.

And I loudly proclaim "You, sir, are a magnificent bastard and that is a BRILLIANT idea!" Or something. I may have just snorted at him, I don't remember, it was first thing in the morning and I had Ace of Bass stuck in my head (seriously, brain? I mean... Ace of Bass? WTF???)

But then, as these things often go, I thought that might make a funny blog post! And surely I could easily find something online that would create a custom made tombstone for me?

Well, sure enough, not 2 clicks later I had found tombstonebuilder.com and went to work!


Or perhaps...



HEE HEE!!! This is fun! Imma make some more....








And then I asked The Twitter for some suggestions! Oddly, most of what I got was snarky people just fucking with me. Can you imagine? On TWITTER??? I did get a few good ones, though (and a shoutout to my friend CrunchyNavyWife whom I love and adore but, sadly, whose submission did not make the final cut.)

From TheNextMartha:



From Handflapper



From HuntersLyonesse







From my sister from another mister, Dawn



From CMarieGo (this is a reference to the very fascinating discussion we were having on The Twit about the Nursery Rhyme It's Raining, It's Pouring



From PrincessMuffintop (this one actually had a hashtag in it but there wasn't enough room)



Seriously, though, this is the epitaph I've always wanted. Somebody make a note!

I like 4 and 13. (if I counted right). I really don't know why there isn't one that just says FUCK. I mean, CLEARLY that should be the one you use.

Was it "don't turn around" or "the sign"?

Mine ought to say something to the affect of:

Maybe I'll keep mine sweet and simple: "bit the dirt." Loved all of these, but the drunk and profane one seemed to be dearest to me. Aw.

Falling over laughing.
My recent post Another fun comment to shred!
When I saw the title of your post I had to click just so I could reply, "Cheese and Pepperoni."

Now that I'm here Ace of Bass is stuck in my head too!! Now I am going to have to go make some tombstones for myself. Probably something along the lines of, "When I look back over my life, I actually DO wish I had spent more time doing housework. Oops. Too late now!" That's probably too long . . .

Too bad people didn't really take their tombstones this seriously, I might visit graveyards more often.

JILLSMO!! How did I miss this?

Sonofa...
when we were little, if we got into my father's chair after he got up, he'd come back and say "would you jump in my grave that fast?" i never thought it was strange until recently. so mine could say "here lies sparkling. her father used to lie here but he got up." found you on kelley and anna's linkup
That was hilarious! I am so inspired to make my own now. I love yours, especially the one about stepping on the grave & nothing happening. Ha! So glad you linked up with #findingthefunny!
