In Loving Memory

Since I've been soaking in all this death lately, I've been giving thought to preparations for my own demise. In particular, I've been pondering a good epitaph for my gravestone. For many years, I'd wanted "Little. Yellow. Different. Better." but it occurs that that might not age too well.

I think I've settled on a better one:

Neddie Jingo
1960 - 20XX

Off to revise my will...

You just punch a hole in the son of a bitch.”

Another fun post, Neddie. Sorry about the sad inspiration -

W.D., you killed me. How, exactly, did I not see 'ervrqzfh' coming?

My options:

He liked pie.

They were rubber, he was glue.

Here I lie, brokenhearted...
