Halloween Grave Contest!

Attention all boos and ghouls! Announcing a very spooky Halloween grave contest! Please help us add to our collection of very special Halloween graves that we display every year.

We inherited a collection of handmade, hand-written humorous graves from my parents, and proudly put on a big display every year. It's always the hit of the neighborhood, but we need to update our collection with some new material! Can you help us by writing some new graves for us?

EXAMPLES:
+++++++++++

http://www.flickr.com/photos/schumm/3930907641/
....I couldn't find "Kris P. Corpse", but needless to say it involved someone playing with fire!

We have 40+ graves like this! Most tell a brief tale of how the person died, or why they'll be remembered. Puns, limericks, poems, and funny names are welcomed! There is no uniform format, so have fun with this!

RULES:
++++++++
1. Nothing dirty, sexual, or overly graphic, and no swearing.
2. No references to real people or fictional characters.
3. Be sensitive, no graves about well-known tragedies (especially from the last ten years).
4. The writing should fit in large letters on the gravestone (no more than 2-3 short sentences), and must not require special props, special font, colored writing, or any other artistic medium.
5. YOUR WORK MUST BE ORIGINAL. Do not copy ideas from any other person, site, or product. Any entry that does so is automatically disqualified.

Otherwise just be creative! Submit as many ideas as you can come up with. Don't be afraid to break the mold a little and try new things. Just remember the spirit of Halloween and make something a little creepy and VERY funny! Make us laugh!

PRIZES
+++++++

1st Place - M$6 + tips
2nd Place - M$3
3rd Place - M$1

I reserve the right not to award 2nd and 3rd place prizes if no suitable entries are submitted, but I have faith in all you ghouls!

As a bonus, I will also give a tip to anyone else who creates a grave that we use! So I could really empty my wallet on this contest! Thank you all, and good luck!

I came up with two just off the top of my head.

Name: Ivy Inna Coma
Text: She slept through the seasons without any reasons, and now she sleeps here for good!

Name: "Buzz" Harvey Watts
Text: He helped to light up our beautiful town... too bad we wasn't grounded.

I'll add more as the silliness flows...

Asker's Rating:
• After a long (and loud, bickering) conference call with my whole family to vote on the winners--since this all started as a family project--we eventually came up with our list of winners.

1st Place - Bunnyphuhu

2nd Place - mysterygirl89

3rd Place - twinpairs

Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you all for the help! Happy Halloween!

I love it, Phu! You've got the right groove, and you definitely made me and my parents laugh (they pulled a "pop-in" just as I was reading your answer).

Great job. Keep it coming!

(Oh, and great pic too!)

His name is Ti Mi Shu or Tie My Shoe... I made this one up in High school a few years ago.

I am sure I will be adding more when I think of some. You can write this on things like your sign. I just have bad hand writing sometimes So I did not want to mess it up. I hope it is okay that I posted them like this. I could make them by hand if you really want.

I HAVE MORE but no pictures sorry. Photobucket is not working for me right now.

Here lies Slim Pickens
Had a farm and a few chickens
Farm foreclosed, birds flew the coop
No more mortgage, no more chicken poop!

Instructor C. D. Rhodes lies here in rest
After conducting one too many driver's test.
His student, unfortunately, did collide,
Making it Rhodes very last ride.

Here lies Red Velvet who died from an ache
Which all came about from too much cake.
He ate and he ate til his belly got fat
Hope they serve cake wherever he's at.
