The Blues


This just in from Tomb Wrecks reader Neil R. - he has assured me that the grass and the John Deere tractor are indeed blue.

I personally enjoy the shape of the stone. It looks as though someone got a new power tool and was just dying to carve big chunks out of something.

Airhead



This angel has wings growing out of its head. I bet he's always picked last at angel sporting events.

Say Cheese


Oh trust me, with that full color laser etching, I'll never forget you.

IOU for Sunday


This is a Sunday success. A theme was chosen, and the flair illustrates it nicely.

I could never do this. It's like a tattoo. I'd like it for 6 months and then I'd want to swap it out with a new one.

Maybe they could install one of those rotating things like you see on billboards. One day my stone would have a cute girly skull with a bow on her head, and the next day you'd see a herd of wiener dogs tromping across there.

IOU for Saturday


That's unfortunate. Forget about 15 minutes; you'll be lucky to get 2.

Hot Stuff

Folks, I love me some tombstones. I do. But currently here in Texas it is 100 degrees out, which makes tomb hunting, um, damned near impossible.

I will continue to go through reader submissions and my archive, but they are running low.

I still plan to post something daily for you. Maybe an awesome wreck. Maybe a stone that just caught my eye.

And I promise, as soon as I drag my ass out of bed at 6am to get to a cemetery before the heat sets in and I burst into flames*, all of the posts will be truly Tomb Wreck worthy.

I feel compelled to mention that this is somehow all Meg's fault.

*This coming Saturday.
