Boob(s)

This lovely piece of work comes to us from Amanda. She tells me this marker is inside a church in England. Fascinating. I'm pretty sure if this was in a church in the U.S. there would be a big black censored box involved.

Wait, What? Again.

Lindsey S. found this mystery.

Are the husband and the child buried here?  Or was this wife saying her husband acted like a big baby?  Or did this lady actually marry her son?  My brain hurts.

Wait, What?

WMD was kind enough to share this mystery with us.

Is Vera the first wife?  Or the second one?  Who is buried here?  Just Elmer?  Just Elmer's second wife?  Is that Vera?  I'm exhausted.

Three's Company

AJ found this gem in a mormon cemetery. Honest.

Is anyone else singing in their head?
Come and knock on our door...

Pimped Out

I can't think of anything 'pimper' than a football, a basketball, and some kick-ass records.

AJ, do you think they'd ever do a "Pimp my Headstone" show? Me neither.

Tasty

Wait, we can pick spices to represent us on our headstones? Hmmm, based on A Colbert Christmas*, I definitely want to be nutmeg.

*The greatest gift of all!

Explorer0713, you can have Lawry's Seasoning Salt.

Oh Stewardess...

Today we have planes, trains, and um, nursing caps.

I love that the stone says "stewardess" instead of "flight attendant". Gives it a nice retro feel. Also it makes me think of Airplane.

Explorer0713, have you ever seen a grown man naked?

SCREWED

AJ, this is a pretty unfortunate last name for a devout Mormon family. Also it is totally awesome.

Vacation

Hello Tomb Wrecks fans*!

*Or fan.

I'm back after an awesome vacation at Walt Disney World.  My husband and I are quite the Disnoids, and we had a magical time as usual.

I know the lack of tombstone photos has created a tremendous void in your lives, which you most likely tried to fill by ingesting large amounts of donuts, beer, and/or nachos*.  Rest easy, stomachs!  The tombstones are back.

Yours,
Steph

*If you have photos of this, please send them in most urgently.

Tombstone Tombstone

I wonder if Dimitri was a big fan of Little Caesar's pizza?*

*Or should I say pizza pizza?

To Jen - thank you thank you.

The Indians Strike Again

Once again the Indians get top billing on a headstone. I love the border around the phrase - kind of looks like a used car windshield: "42 years, low miles, ran great, just killed by Indians..."

Great job, Jen. Perfect accompaniment to the first one.

Monsters

They're ALIVE!!!

Wait, no they're not.

False alarm, Heather B.

Embarrassing

Explorer0713 found this nickname gem.

Sweet punky isn't so bad, but fruit noodle? That sounds like something you call a kid after he gets spaghetti stuck up his nose. Which by the way is disgusting to those of us who don't have children, so please don't share that photo with me on Facebook. Blarf.

Boxing Betty

AJ sent me this wonderful copyright infringement headstone.

I like to think this woman actually hated Betty Boop, so she hung those boxing gloves as an eternal reminder to Betty that she better shut up or else... boop-boop-e-doop ka-pow!

1/1/11

Jen sent this wreck to me months ago, but I've been saving it for 1st wreck of the new year.

I can't think of anything more appropriate to celebrate the arrival of 2011 than a pioneer wagon, a guinea pig, random San Francisco icons, and a Church Lady quote.

And, yes, it is special.
