Well, if I wanted a figurehead for a horror named the Urban Death project, that’s the one I’d use. But Katrina? I have some rather bad news for you, dear. Every molecule that makes you up originated on the earth and every one that you disintegrate back into will remain here. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The rest is just process.

What to do with a corpse? Soylent Green?

If I can’t get my wish of a Viking Funeral, (big party on the beach, at sunset push the boat out into the bay and set it alight) I am going to go for the pine box option.

We should really start thinking about assisted suicide for this entire group.
Really.

Only thing that would piss off the enviro-nuts more would be to douse the boat with old gasoline and oil, for big clouds of black smoke!

The Conqueror Worm must have his due.
I would rather have a pine box and no chemicals. Unfortunately I think being buried like that most places is illegal. Maybe they’re afraid I may break wind in the afterlife.
Sometimes I have this weird vision: We should stand tall before the Man in our birthday suits, skeletons; not with all the impedimentia of embalmed flesh.

Weird. I was going to write a piece on how Lesbianism affects Climate Change.

My daughter has promised to burn me on a pyre of old tires.
I only hope that she waits until I really AM dead.

I wanted to be cremated, but now I might consider a traditional burial so that I can contribute to “climate change”.

Why would I care about climate change when I’m dead?

I think it's illegal for disease reasons. Bury a body of someone with say Ebola in a pine box and as soon as the box rots, you've got a contamination of the soil/groundwater that could be uncontrollable.
Some bodies should be cremated for health reasons.

How many tires do you figure it will take for someone that is six foot and 225 lbs? I’ll start saving the road side ones discarded in my area.
