So how are you going to be remembered?

[Ellen Forradalom]

No one's going to apply the words 'precious' or 'angel' to me when I go. I think it's going to be more along the lines of 'exasperating' and 'clueless.' What adjectives will be dusted off when it's your time?

[flvegan]

1. Can "asshole" be an adjective?

That would sum me up, I think.

[Ellen Forradalom]

5. "That's Mr. Asshole To You, Sir."

[redqueen]

2. barely?

:shrug:

[triguy46]

3. I won't be, a more ironic fate.

[MrCoffee]

4. who?

[1gobluedem]

6. I'm not

I've resigned myself to it.

[BarenakedLady]

7. "Not so normal"

:silly:

[Ellen Forradalom]

8. High praise

Be sure to spend the rest of your life earning that accolade.

[BarenakedLady]

29. I try

Really I do. :)

:hi:

[billyskank]

58. Normal is overrated anyway

I wouldn't want to be with anyone who's normal.

[mikeytherat]

9. "I never thought a plane could do that; and where did he get all the monkeys?"

mikey_the_rat

[catmandu57]

10. I want to leave as small a foorprint

as I possibly can let those who come after do the living.

[deathdog]

11. No reason to think I will be remembered. nt

[Midlodemocrat]

15. No reason to think that you won't. You matter. Everyone does.

[MissMillie]

12. For being the old spinster, probably

:shrug:

[Ellen Forradalom]

13. With 134 cats

[Critters2]

40. My sister and I always say we'll be the crazy spinster sisters

with 45 cats. But I'll bet we could squeeze in a hundred or so more.

[yellowdogintexas]

56. same here, my sister already has a running start on the cat part

This was the Year of the Black Cat.

[Hugin]

14. Vaguely.

Hell, it's already happening and I haven't left yet.

Talk about prescience. :eyes:

[NewWaveChick1981]

16. Naughty.

:evilgrin: And nice. :) :hi:

[Zephyrbird]

17. "Ding Dong the Witch is dead."

I'm sorry I couldn't resist. Actually, I think having a pagan for almost 40 years, I'll put it on my tombstone.

[Ellen Forradalom]

21. Lol! that's great

My tombstone should say, "What Was That All About?"

[Frustratedlady]

26. I wanted mine to say, "I told them I didn't feel well!"

Nobody listens to me, so that will fix `em. ;-)

[Hand]

18. Two old geezers viewing my ashes...

OG #1: So, you know anything about this guy?

OG #2: Well, I know I outlived the son of a bitch. Good enough for me.

:rofl:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. I probably won't be.

[_testify_]

20. An episode of Dateline or 48 Hours Mystery.

If all goes well.

[Inchworm]

22. I am invincible

and will never die.

:hide:

[graywarrior]

23. "Who was that masked-woman?"

Since I have several, unintentional persona's I have no idea what they'll say.

[Bucky]

36. "several, unintentional personas"

Heh. Now THAT is interesting.

[graywarrior]

54. Are you wondering which one is responding?

*snort*

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. Who?

Nobody will even know I'm gone. Well, maybe my kids...

[TK421]

25. I'm not so sure I want to be remembered..

:toast:

[applegrove]

27. Sweet.

[Deja Q]

28. Ask me again in 30 years.

:P

[Mike03]

30. Eh, probably as an aspiring Buddhist

whose heart was in the right place but in the end was too shy and fucked up, never attaining wisdom or enlightenment. Or else, who went off the deep end.

[trof]

31. "He was always willing to help."

My epitaph.

[Ellen Forradalom]

53. "...plant a bomb."

Which is what did him in.

[Phillycat]

32. I want the entire chorus of "The Bitch Is Back" by Elton John on my tombstone.

Not that I'll have a tombstone, since I'm donating my body to science. But still. :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear Ellen Forradalom!

Well, I can't be completely positive...

But I'm hoping for loving, smart, big-hearted, and like that...

:shrug:

[Ellen Forradalom]

49. "She wielded the words 'my dear' like a razor-sharp machete in the jungle"

:-)

[SoxFan]

34. "Oh, him."

[Bucky]

35. That moron killed by trying to fuck a live Walloby. My tombstone: "What the hell was he thinking?"

What I will have been thinking, of course, is that fucking a dead Walloby is just sick.

[Ellen Forradalom]

50. Your moral sense is unimpeachable.

:applause:

[FloridaJudy]

37. "She was nuttier than a fruitcake"

But she sure knew some great dirty jokes, and made some fantastic quilts.

After going through an absolute horror of a funeral for a dear friend, orchestrated by a minister who'd obviously never met the lady (she was an atheist: he made it all about Jesus), I turned to my son and insisted "During my funeral, I want it mentioned that I collected pornographic Tarot cards. And instead of that sickly sentimental "footprints" poem, I want the Dead Parrot Sketch".

The kind of funeral I want: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsHk9WC7fnQ

Anything but mindless good taste.

edited to add: I want a Sky Burial (google it). It may sound creepy to some, but I like the concept. I can picture the birds burping and commenting "My! That one was delicious!" Go out making something happy.

[Ellen Forradalom]

52. That sounds awesome

You have the right idea. I also sat through such a funeral and it was comical in a sick kind of way.

[havocmom]

38. Vaguely

[femmocrat]

39. "She was my art teacher".....

I must have taught the entire population of western PA over my long career! LOL

[Ellen Forradalom]

51. Oh, that happened to my dad

He was a professor of music and taught Gen Ed music classes to possibly thousands of college students.

[Redstone]

41. Because it's impolite to speak ill of the dead, I suspect that at my funeral, the conversations

will run about like this:

"He sure was tall."

"Yup."

Redstone

[Ellen Forradalom]

46. "Any more Jack Daniels?"

"Nope."

Pause.

"Sure was tall, wasn't he?"

[Redstone]

55. Hey, thanks. I gotta remind Mrs R to stock up on the JD when the time comes.

Redstone

[Ellen Forradalom]

47. I've seen double-posting....

[Ellen Forradalom]

48. ...but how the hell did I triple-post?

I should change my handle to greatauntoftripleposts.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

42. "Which one was he?"

[Ekirh]

43. I probably won't be N/T

[DarkTirade]

44. Hopefully by at least one or two people...

[Xipe Totec]

45. "The Harder They Come" Jimmy Cliff

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGE4dnrPPZQ


That's how I'll be remembered.

[Deja Q]

60. You must have a very happy wife...

:hide:

[yellowdogintexas]

57. by my daughter as "The One with Too Many Books"

since she will be the one to go through all my stuff. LOL

[billyskank]

59. I'm not.

My epitaph will read:

Here lies somebody.

(I dunno, you tell me).

[KatyaR]

61. Rarely and briefly at that.

People have a hard time remembering me now while I'm alive. :eyes:

[cobalt1999]

62. As that guy who got in his boat, sailed off and was never heard from again.

Hopefully, they'll be a few rumors that I'm alive on an island drinking margaritas, or that I fled to escape an angry husband. That's how I want it to end...in a mystery.

[DS1]
