Damn, that’s a cool one!

Bonus points: you spelled Grolsch correctly!  
Minus points: the upcoming event is under the UEFA umbrella first, and only a FIFA tournament in the secondary sense. But hey, close enough for a Yankee 😉

In fairness, I shouldn’t even ask, having completely flubbed my turn when drafted–by UkeIke, just for the memorial record.

But being still sigless and profile-less, it would be a great comfort to me to have a fitting epitaph. I will be cremated, but a nice memorial stone would be nice. So far all I’ve come up with is, “Uhhh…who?”

Can I try?

Ashes to Ashes,  
Dust to Dust,  
On her sepulchre,  
A red-headed bust.
