    You know that this is in the New Members Welcome Area right?

    For whatever reason (I guess because its first down the list) the New Members Area seems to be the default choice for new discussion and polls. At least when started from the main (all categories) portion of the website.

    Planning my funeral.

    I'm still looking for a stripper agency that caters exclusively to funerals.

    Where is an option "I have a life besides BG:EE?".

    I'm *always* planning my funeral. It'll be the best party I'll have thrown since my wedding. Assuming I can't be stuffed with a big grin on my face and both thumbs up and kept in a largely unexplored corner of my house to surprise unwary visitors, or cremated and thrown in the face of someone I never liked, both of which I gather are illegal in Canada:

    -The video reflecting on my life which will be played once the doors to the funeral home are locked will be 30 seconds of me enjoying life followed by ninety minutes of hardcore pornography.

    -Instead of pallbearers my coffin will be delivered to its grave via slip n slide.

    -My headstone will bear the inscription "Wish You Were Here".

    -People will be encouraged to stand around the hole singing "na na nana, na na nana, hey-ey-ey, goo-oodbyyye."

    -This will be followed by an all-night dance party on my grave.

    Between planning my funeral, I'm also working on the next Overhaul game with new written content, and making plans for the one we'll do after that. Busy Busy busy, though not so busy I can't post on the forum, apparently.

    Its only illegal if you get caught? I think out in Alberta (that is where Overhaul/Beamdog is so I'm assuming thats where you are) your family could probably get away with throwing your ashes just about anywhere if its crown land, with or without permission from the government. Well, except for maybe the provincial legislature grounds. Putting aside any moral or environmental issues involved here I think it would be hard to get caught unless they made a big show of it. That said actually throwing it in someones face would constitute assault. So I guess it would depend on just how much the thrower liked you and if they were willing to put up with maybe a 90 day jail sentence and probation for a few months after.

    You'll also probably need an industrial strength slip-and-slide. A regular one won't cut it I'm guessing. Otherwise all things considered it sounds like it would be a blast!

    Let's see. I want my body to be lowered into a massive monument to my greatness, somewhere along the size of the Pyramid of Giza, some F-16s doing barrel rolls overhead, on and explosions lots of those too. Heavy metal music as well.

    And its very Falloutish. There aren't many good books out there, so why not write one? 9 Chapters typed and 16 chapters written in my notebook.

    Playing BG2 , IWD and PS:T , obviously.
  • elminsterelminster Member, Developer Posts: 16,317
    Trying to get IWD2 to work on my mac using Wine. So far...not a lot of luck. A lot of screen flickering in game though. I can run BG1 on it fine though.

    Where I grew up there was a "famous" oil painter. Anyway, when he died and his house was cleared out they found the stuffed body of a tramp, who had died a few years before. In a cupboard if I remember rightly.

    Know any eccentric artists?

    Nope and from the sounds of things I don't think I want to! Then again I'm not a tramp so I guess I'm safe?

    @elminster well, I think the tramp gave his body over, it wasn't against his will. It makes me wonder how people think of waxworks of themselves.
