I want to be cremated, packed into fireworks and blown up - a la Hunter S Thompson. I wonder if can get Johnny Depp to fund it...

It would be appropriate this Halloween for zombies to have their revenge on these nogoodniks. Cremation is the way to go.

This isn't that hard to solve. Just check out the scrap metal dealers in the area and find out who is unloading the urns.

This whole bizarre ritual of setting aside real estate for dead people has got to stop. If you want to remember your loved one, look at photographs or perhaps just think about them. The idea that I'm somehow honoring my family by spending thousands of dollars on an exercise in uselessness is stupid.

Unfortunate how desperate economics can drive people to deplorable acts.

I have family in that cemetery. Desperate times my butt, these people are all a bunch of meth heads and should be shot on sight.
