With "Worms" at the graveside service?
Perfect for the after toast, I think. Maybe everybody could sing along to the "Worms."
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'd probably chicken out and tip at the cashier at the end and let them divide it out however...

What if we use a version actually performed by Leonard Cohen?
That might keep you from being haunted forever, although the Cohen song I'd pick would be "Anthem." Use the Jeff Buckley version and gnats will follow you everywhere, your faucets will run with blood, your bread will always fall butter side down and you'll never get a parking space again.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I can haz internets at the laundromat! The wireless, it haz a flavor.
Seriously, I'm grateful to the Deli in this strip mall for providing me with entertainment.

If you planed Lenny's "The Future" you wouldn't be sorry you were dead. You'd think, "Yeah, fuck it."
Btw, did everybody note that he was voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? With Madonna, the Dave Clark Five and the Ventures? (Weird class)

Consider yourself invited to my wake. You can lead the crowd in the "Worm" singalong and toast.

Are we talking "the worms crawl in the worms crawl out"? 'cause they said on QI that worms don't really do that.

I'm content with it as a metaphor for mortality. The literal minded should pick somebody besides The Pogues anyway.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I want any useful organs to be donated and then I want to be cremated. I don't want to end up in some cheesy urn on someone's shelf. Just toss my ashes in the ocean or something.
Funeral? I can't even imagine. I'd rather not have a somber one at some cold church, though. I'd want my friends and loved ones to gather somewhere warm and inviting to tell stories, laugh, cry, and be together.
