How do you want to be remembered?
As that eighth giant squid.

I'd like to be the he. Is there a problem with that? :ph34r:
i just want to be remembered
I've always wanted my headstone to say
"Buried Alive"
I want to be remembered for not dying.
Honestly?
Honestly.
I don't want people to make me out to be a saint. But I don't want them to make me out to be a villain, either.
I want my positive attributes right there alongside my negative ones.
I want people to understand that my passing is probably inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, but that doesn't mean I'm worthless. To my family, friends, and my (as I should have by then) kids, I know I mean a lot.
I'd like people not to suffer because I'm gone. I'd like them to reflect on the past. And, as I said, that means honestly, not just focusing on the good or the bad times but everything holistically. But I think they'll find that even the worst parts of me had something going for them. At least my aggressive devil's advocacy made people really think about what they felt and believed, even if it ticked them off most of the time.
And I'd want them to know that I'm going to miss them.
"How did he die?"
"He eighth too much."

I have to say, this is a topic to which I have not given much thought...
Here's a first draft.

"Met Death. Kicked him in the crotch. Now realises this was a bad, bad idea."
"Death. The eternal blink. The capricious dance of Now You Stop Moving Forever. Well, contrary to popular belief, death isn't just for dead people. It can happen to anyone. I know, it's news to me too. And it's not just people either, it's all kinds of stuff. Horses, fiddler crabs. Did you know that even a potato... can die?" - The Tick
Is the speech I want spoken and I don't want a stone or to be buried. I want my ashes to be shot out of a cannon with fireworks.
