When you die - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Send me to glory in a Glad Bag,

Don't waste a fancy coffin on my bones.

Just put me out on the curb next Tuesday,

Let the sanitation local bear me home.

When you die,

You stop drinking beer.

When you die,

You stop being here.

When you die, some people cry.

When you die, we say goodbye.

I want to be paraded around town in a Santa outfit every Christmas.

I would like to be buried.

In heaven, everything is fine

Nah - we just starve Tony for a few days, then throw them in his cage

I love the blood spatter on the lovely white snow

You should see the floor around the cage

Into multiple personality disorder, perhaps?

Great denoument from my favorite Coen Brothers film; good-ish idea for disposal, but a tad messy, don't ya think?

Mind you, you could set up the wood-chipper's nozzle to go through a less favoured neighbour's letter box, I guess...

Give them something to remember you by

I'm with ya on that one, Miracle. I never understood what the big deal was about what to do with someone after they die. They aren't living anymore, therefore they no longer have a purpose! Dispose of them! While they were alive, it was different, but after we die, I just don't see the point of prolonging the inevitable. We will eventually become dust in the wind (like that pun, fellow Kansas fans?), so why bury us as if we are going to care one way or another how we disposed of? I'll be dead then, so I won't care.

I agree. Were it not for my grisly fate I wouldn't care what happened to my body. I'd prefer it be donated to science to be most helpful or have my organs donated to other people. But I think it comes down to what your loved ones want.

Yeah. I would say donating my body to science, then cremation is the way I'm gonna choose to go. Just makes more logical sense.

Has anyone said "wood chipper" yet?

I'm pretty certain that I will die as a member of the space marines sent to kill the giant Billy Mays terrorizing the world in the late 2020s. He's probably going to eat me so I don't really have much say in the matter.

Wait a second.........you're not........Captain.....Kirk.......?

No. No, don't be preposterous. I'm not Kirk.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.
