Another exercise in pointlessness...

Okay, I'm bored, so here's something new. Try to write your obituary in ten words or less. Here's mine -

"California native. Spent too much time online. Organs for sale."

(had to edit 'cause I had one word too many.)

Whats an obituary?

Ovalescent · Post by **Ovalescent** » Fri Mar 01, 2002 9:49 pm

You don't know? It's the blurb they put in the newspaper after you die. It basically summarizes your entire life in as many words as your survivors can afford.

Just a short story, but it is pretty good. He proposes a solution to the famine in Ireland. Heh, but what do you expect from the guy who wrote Gulliver

Ha ha! I looked it up on Amazon.com after you mentioned it, there was a compilation of short swift stories. All it said was that he had "a darkly humorous idea to solve the homelessness problem." Sounds like my kind of guy. Combine his ideas with "Logan's run" and our problems would be just about solved. All of the corrupt politicians are OLD white males, anyway, so that would solve another problem. I suppose the old guys would taste kind of gamey, but they'll probably be processed enough to where it doesn't matter.

Curious Czech weirdo. Wanted to see afterlife and killed himself.

And for all to behold in the local newspaper:

"Scholar, philosopher, gentlemen, father, beloved-husband - this loser was not!"

Gee, Ma, your all heart.

LOL! All right, so far, if we all died in a bus crash together, I doubt very many people would mourn for us....

Liked driving really fast just a little bit -too- much.

Would I be the one crashing the bus?

Let's do it and see for ourselves

Can I drive?

Cypress · Post by **Cypress** » Sat Mar 02, 2002 6:02 pm

Sure... just let me get off the bus first, and to show that I'm such a nice guy I'll even cut the breaks for you!

(I'm so thoughtful.)

Canadian youth, trusting and caring, it lead to his downfall.

True, I tend to believe people on the premise of, "Why would they bother lying about that?" Some of the stuff people lied to me about is purely idiotic!

Ashton Webster · Post by **Ashton Webster** » Sun Mar 03, 2002 2:50 am

Hmmm... where could we get a bus?

Cypress · Post by **Cypress** » Sun Mar 03, 2002 7:42 am

Bus Depot, where else? They have everything in vehicular supplies!

Ashton Webster · Post by **Ashton Webster** » Sun Mar 03, 2002 8:01 am

Ok, now to discuss where will everyone sit. I'd like the place that's in front of the bus, on the right side besides window.

Cypress · Post by **Cypress** » Sun Mar 03, 2002 9:16 am

I want a specific place too! I want to go behind on our highway drive to death.

Just get a nice length of rope, a shopping cart, tie one end of the weak rope to the shopping cart and the other on that funny bumper hitch thingy... you know, the thing you use to hook up trailers to your car? That's the one!

Now I'll sit in the shopping cart with a batch of M&M muffins while you spin off from 0 to 100 MPH giving me violent case of whiplash by making the cart flip over and drag on the ground and bashing into multiple parked vehicles... I want that seat please as well as a bucket to put over my head... wait! Nevermind, I wouldnt be able to eat my muffins.

Mmmm... M&M muffins! Goes great with cuncusions!
