I would probably go with the words in my sig
Air Cold, the blade stops;
from silent stone,
Death is preordained

Just remember me the first thing in the morning,
before coffee, before my first cigarette,
then ask yourself, "Do I really want to contact his spirit?"

Oh, I don’t know, reading KM’s sig I see:

Air Cold, the blade stops;
from silent stone,
Death is preordained


Admittedly, a bit creepy and dark, but apt enough I suppose.

So, what would your epitaphh be, Mumps?

Yup. Intentionally mis-directed. :-)

Hmmm, I haven't really given much thought to an epitaph. I ain't gonna care when it's time. Maybe something like:

God wasn't lying when he told him he couldn't fly.

HeeHee,

Not sure if this counts as an Epitaph or Last Thoughts, but, as an atheist, I sometimes hope it is:

“Oh, Wow, hi, you’re God, yeah? Right. Remember me? I am the little girl who didn’t think that you existed. ‘K. about the whole “Heaven not being real” thing, and I never bought into the whole Jesus, Allah, Buddha thing (way too much nasty violence for my taste) but, ya, can I come in anyway?”
