The "thoughts for this year" thread in Miscellaneous has started to drift into things written on tombstones, which made me think, why don't we play Tombstone? I'm talking about Tombstone, the game, by W. W. Cooper.

It's a game that you are only allowed to play once in your entire life. Once you have played it, you are never allowed to play it again. The most you can do after that is to say what happened the first time.

The game consists of this. Imagine that your tombstone contains your name, your date of birth, your date of death, and one word of your choice. Imagine that this tombstone is the only record that you ever existed. All you have to do is answer the question, what is the word on your tombstone?

I've played it before, and when I did I opted for a maniacal laugh. Mwahahahaha! That's my word.

mine would be a four letter word that im not allowed to type on here...

Hibernating.

Freak out everyone who looks at it.

Can you step away please, I never stood on your balls

Just a little reminder here: the tombstone is only allowed to contain one word. Phrases and sentences are not allowed.

The site says: "...It can be any word you want, of any part of speech. No attached articles or other extra words are allowed. It may describe you or some philosophy you have, or not. It is your word..."

Sorry, I misread it. I thought extra words were allowed.
But, with that set straight I'm going for the word mine

Oops, now I've played the game more often than once. Not only that, but I didn't play by the rules the first time. Now what?

tis a silly game

I might have my last words on: "you don't have the guts to pull that trigger"
doesn't matter how i actually die
