  • H Henry Minute

    Apart from someone elses' name, or Spike Milligans' "I told you I was ill!" I have just listened to a radio programme on BBC Radio 4 that had Roger Law of Fluck and Law (Spitting Image) fame in it. Peter Fluck, it seems has moved down to the West Country and taken up stone carving. He apparently told Roger Law that he was making them both a headstone. Rogers' would say "Roger and Out", whilst his own would say "Petered Out". So I was wondering, if you could pick your own epitaph (max 5 words), what would you choose? If I was a Buddhist I could have "Back in a Minute", for example.

    "Head shot!" or "Monster Kill!!!" or any other classic UT phrase. At my funeral I want everyone to sing 'In the Jungle', just for sh*ts and giggles really.

    My failometer has shot off the end of the scale! I seem to have misplaced my ban button.. no wait... found it!

        I was going to say that real men get the 'Meat Feast', but in all honesty that could be taken either way. So instead real me should just eat raw chillies on bread.

                                    Well, my most used quote is "Meh, I've seen better". I would appreciate if somebody put that on my gravestone - although I wouldn't request it myself. Because clearly, I'm too awesome. (Quite literally- people see me and collapse to the floor in awe)

                                    My current favourite word is: Delicious!

                                    That's called "stench", SK

                                    Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy.

                                      Game Over... Deal Again? Alternate: ***STOP 0x0000000A (0X000013B0, 0X00000001E, 0X00000001, 0X804E2458) [most effective on a blue tombstone, of course]

                                      Personally, I'd prefer STOP 0x0000007B (inaccessible boot device). What's sad is that is one BSOD I don't have to look up to know what it means :( Dybs

                                        Apart from someone elses' name, or Spike Milligans' "I told you I was ill!" I have just listened to a radio programme on BBC Radio 4 that had Roger Law of Fluck and Law (Spitting Image) fame in it. Peter Fluck, it seems has moved down to the West Country and taken up stone carving. He apparently told Roger Law that he was making them both a headstone. Rogers' would say "Roger and Out", whilst his own would say "Petered Out". So I was wondering, if you could pick your own epitaph (max 5 words), what would you choose? If I was a Buddhist I could have "Back in a Minute", for example.
