Me, too. Add to the fact that I'm claustrophobic as hell, and I'll pick a good old bonfire, any day. Followed by a kegger!

A claustophobic corpse, FTW.

I can't stand the thought of being locked in a box, which is buried! Yes, even though I'll be dead. I have a deal with my cousin....if she outlives me. I'll live on her mantle, and she'll put a few drops of beer in my urn, every day.

I understand. What if you're not completely dead & you wake up? That is so far fetched, but you never know. Also, I will never watch the movie Buried. I would squirm in my seat from start to finish.

haha... yeah, good point. My old man told my sister to just "toss him in a ditch somewhere" and "save yourself the cash."

Do you know that that's where the phrase "dead ringer" comes from?
That people used to be afraid that the corpse might not really be dead, and some sort of bell string, was run into the coffin, so the person could ring the ~above ground~ bell, should they wake up.

What's the Jeff Bridges/Keifer Sutherland/Sandra Bullock(?) movie? Crap, I can't think of the name of it. He's BURIED alive, in a coffin. I'd just die of a heart attack, right then and there!

I think it's titled Vanished...that's the one where Keifer & Sandy stop at a gas station and she disappears, right? Jeff Bridges is some Eastern European doctor/professor?

Great movie!!

YES! I've got it on VHS, somewhere. I've not seen it for probably 7 years. It is a really good movie!

Oh I've totally heard of that before! I'm like shaking uncontrollably just thinking about something like that. If I woke up and rang the bell, it would be my luck that on that day the person supposed to hear it would be dead himself, or on break. It's more unlikely someone would wake up nowadays though. Especially since I want to donate my organs, so I know there would be no possible way I'd still be alive. Unless I turned into a Zombie. I watch too many movies *sigh*

[HomerMcvie]

Me too, on the organ donation. Raid my body of anything useful, then send my ass to the incinerator!

That's why I rarely watch it. The burial part, scares the sh*t out of me!

It took me a long time to come to this conclusion, but cremated. I want to be spread around someplace by beautiful water. I figured there's just no point in me having a grave and headstone... I'll never have children or grandchildren, so nobody will really be alive after I'm gone to warrant a grave. After all, cemeteries are for the living, not the dead. Plus, it just seems horribly wasteful to fill the earth with cemeteries. And I hate the idea of being stuck in a box... and my remains possibly getting flooded or eaten by insects. It just seems more sensible and responsible for me to be turned to dust instead of rotting in the ground in a cemetery no one will ever visit.

I love this quote.

[DefDumbandBlond]

I plan to live forever.

Ok no really, I'll be dead, I don't care.
