He was right
We was wrong
But we strung him up
And now he's gone

1. I thought, therefore I was. But now I don't, so I'm not.

I came up with that about 30 years ago and it is still what I want.

3. Remember, friend, as you walk by....

...as you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so shall you be.
Prepare for death, and follow me.

11. Here lies no one...

because this soul hates the stupid custom that once you're gone a bunch of people freak out over the Corporeal shell you've left behind and waste some prime land to try to immortalize you. What an ego trip. My carcass is going to science, they can mine it for whatever they need then throw it on the scrapheap when they're done.

And y'know why I don't care??? Cuz that won't be me. I'll be dead.

12. I told you I was sick.

For years now I have been begging Mrs Lasher to agree. So far she has not relented.

13. I don't want a tombstone

Mr. csziggy has be told to pick out a nice tree and plant it on the spot where I am planted. No embalming, either - it could poison the tree!
