Man, oh man.

Okay, in the interest of not burning out my creativity, I’m cutting the applications off at evilbeth. Sorry, everyone else, but I’ll be writing these damn things forever if I don’t stop it now. Bribes may be considered, but keep in mind that chocolate, beer and sex seem to be the only legal tender on the MB. Oh, and I don’t like chocolate, and I (legally) can buy my own beer.

Here’s a couple more for you vultures…

In loving memorial of Valerieblaise

Twin friends Val had  
Who’d make her glad  
When life threw her a little off kilter.

But I’m sorry to mention  
That, for lack of attention,  
Her breasts revolted and killed her.  
And one more…  
God bless ssskuuggiii

Triple Word Score!! 637 points!  
Gone on to that giant Scrabble game in the sky.

Flypsyde memorials-epitaphs so good, you’ll _wish_ you were dead!

Here lies Flypside,  
We thought him asleep,  
His creativity lapsed  
And his epitaphs ceased.

HUGS!

And one for dearest elelle…

On a May morning fair  
Near the bounds of O’Hare  
I dozed in chest with no locks.

Now I’ve gone to my rest  
As St. Peter’s Guest  
And I ain’t gettin’ outta _this_ box.

God dammit, **Veb!** That was **UncleBeer** that did that to you! UNCLEBEER!

“Ukulele Ike” has all those Ks and Ls in it! “UncleBeer” has NO Ks and only ONE L!

And it has a capital B, which “Ukulele Ike” doesn’t have at ALL!

Although there ARE the same number of Es in both, I think that all the differentiation in the Ks and Bs and Ls should make UNCLEBEER and UKULELE IKE separate and distinct indentities!

However, if UncleBeer does something nice for you, you may feel free to thank me.

– Ukulele Beer  
Aw, shit.

I WANT ONE TOO!

Indeed, there are people who know me and would  
pay you if you could make it so you had to do  
an epitaph for me.

Tick one more off the list…

For Ayesha

Ayesha, adored,  
Passed to her reward  
And this marker is all left to see.

A consummate sweetheart  
In whole and in part,  
And a paragon of modesty.

Stop giggling.

I have to do another Cristi one. I don’t know why…

Here lies Cristi  
In eternal sleep.  
Eons and eons,  
With nary a peep.

**THANKS, Flyp!** I love it!

It gave me a solid, heartfelt laugh in a very rough day.

And UkeIke? Uh, right you are. Sorry about that. It _was_ UncleBeer who dumped on me. ::blushes:: Suffered a minor fugue state there.

Here lies Flyp  
Down 'neath the dirt  
He may be forgotten  
But not his swell shirt.

Wow. Two from Finagle, not a one from Flyp.

Nice to know _someone_ cares about what my final words will be. 😉

(BTW Finagle, I know we’ve never spoken, but thanks! I like them! :D)
