1. These people must have had a lot of love in their lives.

[Jake Stern]

2. Jotting down that fudge recipe

Not creepy at all . . . . .

[Lochloosa]

7. When Obama was elected, I had to suppress a rather puerile impulse I had to go...

...piss on Aaron Burr's grave - it's near where I live - to let him know that there had actually been a worse Vice President than he, in Dick Cheney.

Of course, now we have that stupid bigot Pence in the office, along with a so called "President" who is actually an ignorant uneducated gangster whose thugs, as we're seeing, are engaged in interesting mob tactics like money laundering and God knows what else.

If Trump and his pet inquisitor Pence are both driven from office and into prison, I may not be able to suppress the urge to visit Aaron Burr.

5. My favorite tombstone epitath wasn't written by the deceased, but it was brilliant

From Boot Hill (cemetery) in Tombstone, Arizona

HERE LIES LESTER MOOR
FOUR SLUGS FROM A 44
NO LES, NO MORE

[NNadir]

6. Well, as my life approaches its end, I'd like to be witty, but I hope not to be buried, but...

...rather be subject to excarnation, a process where a body is left to rot above the ground eaten by scavengers and insects.

I have come to realize that this is actually possible in the United States, if one donates one's body to a body farm of the type utilized by schools for training forensic scientists and police investigators.

Of course, the matter is not up to me and in any case I will be unable to offer any opinion on the subject, being dead.

It would be appropriate however.

Alternatively I could have my flesh dissolved, and my skeleton hung in some class room. This, I think, would be an excellent memorial to what I was in life.

10. Noble, but ghoulish.

I realize I've never thought about how forensic scientists and police investigators were trained.

[NNadir]

11. In Tibetan Buddhism, this practice is known as a "Sky Burial."

The Wikipedia article covers it quite well.

Sky Burial

What I like about it is the nutrient flow, particularly phosphorous, an element I have borrowed while I live but which is certainly not mine to keep forever.

Phosphorous is not a "renewable" resource, and as we, in this generation, have robbed all future generations of so much, I feel the least I can do is set my phosphorous free so they may have at least that.

I like this idea. I'm trying to sell it to my wife and kids. It will be their call.

[Beacool]

8. Great sense of humor.

The fudge recipe, I guess that she was constantly asked for that recipe.

The tomb that mentions that they finally found a parking spot is quite appropriate for my town. I'll keep it in mind.

[blaze]

15. The fudge recipe

I read somewhere else that she always told people, "I'll give you that recipe over my dead body!"

Don't know if it's true, but I like it.

[Gamey]

9. Confederate tombstone in Ohio

WE Killem. Oh, the irony.

13. Is that from Boot Hill in Tombstone?

I visited there with my grandmother when I was in high school and I remember.

[JonLP24]

16. Yes you are correct

I think the crime was horse thief or hanged the wrong horse thief.

14. 12. Judge Somers

HOW does it happen, tell me,
That I who was most erudite of lawyers,
Who knew Blackstone and Coke
Almost by heart, who made the greatest speech
The court-house ever heard, and wrote 5
A brief that won the praise of Justice Breese—
How does it happen, tell me,
That I lie here unmarked, forgotten,
While Chase Henry, the town drunkard,
Has a marble block, topped by an urn, 10
Wherein Nature, in a mood ironical,
Has sown a flowering weed?
