One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer
I’ve decided what my final request in life is going to be. First, I want a plain pine box, painted white for my coffin. At my wake, I want it to be closed casket, but I want to have an old Irish style wake (read big party open to anyone) and I want people to sign my casket. Whatever messages, drawing or artwork they want to put on it. I want paints, pens, markers, and even crayons available for people. Then I want to be cremated. I want my ashes put in an old shoe box and flushed down the toilet. If it’s good enough for my goldfish, it’s good enough for me.

My friend wants to be burned on a funeral pyre in the middle of a lake like a viking.

Personally, I would have a Viking funeral all the way.
And then I want a powerful triumphant exit heralded by Beethoven’s music, or something majestic like that. Or my Army of Lovers, this bizarre groovy Swedish group.
