What Would You Want On Your Tombstone?

"Hey quit standing on me!"

An old manager and I agreed on mine: "Well, he tried."

No beer either, eh?

Hard to beat this one. Boot Hill in Tombstone, AZ.

Well, that didn't work

Yeah, you know Randy, I think it was it was huge for us. Obviously, we had, you know, seven really good games to evaluate. And, you know, what are we doing? Well, you know, where are those margins for us that we need to continue to fill in? And, you know, what, what are, you know, what’s the process for us to get there. And, you know, I, again, I, we really spent the first half of of last week, you know, really in in that process, which I think helped us, we did it on offense, defense and special teams. And, you know, I think anytime you get a chance to do that, it gives you a little bit more clarity. And, you know, a lot, obviously, a lot of that will keep in house as we continue to prepare for these last couple opponents. But, you know, I think the biggest thing for us is evaluation of, you know, who, number one, do we have the right players on the field? Number two, man, are we putting those guys in the right position to be successful? And, you know, and then if we’re not, you know, how do we make sure whether it’s schematically or personnel wise, do we make the changes we need to make moving forward?

Holy crap.

I fully expected to see "Meat Lovers" here @BCClone.

Is this place full of dad jokesters or something? Because I clicked fully intending to make a pizza joke. But the cheesy jokes were already in full force.

Although I do not want a grave or grave marker.

Same. I find cemeteries fascinating - but you look at old graves where they are forgotten and unmaintained, and it is super depressing. Also, burial isn’t a super sustainable practice with overpopulation.

I just want to be cremated and then my family to take a great trip and spread them somewhere I loved.

If my family wastes money on a tombstone or funeral I will haunt the **** out of them. A simple announcement will suffice: "Duff is dead. He liked some of you." Then toss me out with the garbage.

Honestly, if my husband was going to have a tombstone, that would be PERFECT!

When I lived in SoCal we took a day to look at celebrity graves. Interesting and a way to walk down memory lane.

Two graves that were most surprising were Al Jolson and Burt Lancaster.

Jolson has a grand area while Lancaster is one small square mixed in with many others.

Wow...that's a really interesting idea.

A lot of geocaches are hidden in cemeteries around Iowa; we've been to many of them. As we're walking around we try to guess family groups by the names & dates.

we figured it was a way to get an idea for an older more traditional name.
