Has anyone considered being buried in your car? The S2K is about the right size, still room for a sixpack. Top down of course. Wedge the horn on hust as they fill the hole.

Murphy has the right idea. spirted drive across Mulholland. Sprinkle to the left sprinke to the right. Stand up sit down fight fight fight

I might go for Latigo, strap the ashes to the car and let the turns throw the ashes out. Yeehaw

"No Other Name", Peter, Paul & Mary
(read the last stanza)

Know me by the light of a fire shinin' bright,
Know me by your bed where I've lain
Know me, and you might, if just for a night
You'll know me by no other name.

Some girls will bring you silver
Some will bring you fine Spanish lace
Some will say "I love you"
Some will have my face.

Some will bring you gold, babies to hold,
I'll bring you only pain.
You can know me, if you will, by the wind on the hill
You'll know me by no other name.

Some girls will die for money,
Some will die as they're born,
Some will swear they'd die for love,
Some die ev'ry morn.

I'll die alone, away from my home
Nobody knows where I came.
The stone at my head will say I am dead,
It knows me by no other name.
It knows me by no other name
.

Or, to paraphrase W.C. Fields,

"All things considered, I'd rather be in New York City."

I'm going to be cremated and scattered to the winds in a special place, but one of my favorites is "I told you I was sick!"

I've no plans for a tombstone either.

IF I did, I hope it would say something simple like "She was kind."

Now, maybe I don't live up to that every moment of every day, but it's a good goal.

Is an epitaph a tweet from the past? Is there a limit of 140 characters? Why do I even think about this?

No tombstone for me. Told my wife to take my ashes to an autocross for one last run, and then toss 'em in the nearest dumpster.

No tombstone but" Blue skies and a tailwind" would be appropriate

" He did the best he could with what he had"

Now get the hell off my chest.
