Written April 22, 2001... a Sunday, I think

I, Finnius, being of sound body, do hereby decree, upon my death, decapitation, mutilation, or dismemberment, that the following will should be followed IN ITS ENTIRETY.

 

To Cerulean; or failing that, a circus monkey that resembles a mango, or is named "Mango," I leave a wedge of plexi-glass.

 

To Wyvern; I leave two (2) pair rubber gloves and a proctology manual, to be used as he sees fit.

 

To Mr. Hydrus Hydrobear; I leave the much-fabled ReChanter of Bottomless Fuses, in hopes that you can find a use for it.

 

To Gyrfalcon; I leave the decaying corpses of Story Board Mods 1-27. I extend my sincerest apologies for keeping them so long.

 

To All Multi-Mages Currently Residing in Terra; I leave this piece of advice: Run! The Administration Office knows your names, addresses, and non-existant multiple personalities! They are coming after you! Go now!

 

To Orlan; I leave all the toiletries I have stolen from your personal bathroom over the years, with the exception of a box of tampons marked "For personal use." You have to explain that one, bub.

 

To All Undead who entertain thoughts of attending my funeral; I leave "the Curse of the Great God and Pharoah Nanotoknonnen." (Wave hands ominously.) I hope this videocassette will be enough to bribe you away, you soulless monsters.

 

To my Split-personality; I leave all of my monetary posessions. Should he be unavailable, I leave said possessions to any penguins residing in the Terran Zoo.

 

To the Terran Doctors' Association; I leave my skin, in hopes that you will find out why it is blue. On second thought, I leave it to the worms, who will devour it.

 

To Black, or failing that, Tamoranis; I leave two cloves of garlic and a wooden stake.

 

To whomever delivered my eulogy; I leave a pat on the back. It would not, however, have killed you to praise me as the "finest mage ever to to grace our pitiful souls with his perfect perfection of perfectness."

 

To Arawn; I leave a slide rule and an abacus. Upon my death, you will be the last living person who knows how to use them.

 

To Peredhil; I leave my express wishes that, after my death, your cult should consider me for godhood.

 

To Culex; I leave an H-Bomb with a three minute timer. I figure that you'll know what to do with it.

 

To Canid; I leave the severed heads of 13 Newbies, in the hope that this will abate your hunger for human flesh and paper. Specifcally the paper.

 

If I should be romantically attatched to anyone at the time of my death; I leave said person my heart. Also, my arteries, pancreas, and adrenal glands.

---------------------------------------------

Directions for my Funeral:

 

1) My funeral should be held at the Terran National Hospital, as I have been promised admittance "over my dead body."

 

2) I wish to be buried in the nude.

 

3) Anyone who cries at my funeral should be thrown into the grave and stoned, immediately following the procession.

 

4) My obituary should read as follows: "Finnius, (Age), is dead. Get over it.

 

5) My epitaph should read: "I'm gettin' hungry, so would you please/ In lieu of flowers, just leave cheese?"

 

6) All attending my funeral should dress in neon-day-glo-fuschia jumpsuits. The organist should be prepared to play "Disco Inferno."

 

8) Any pets in my care should be buried with me, along with clothes, jewelry, and children.

 

9) My pallbearers should throw themselves into my grave, and procede to bury themselves.

Wyvern quickly plots of ways to kill Finnius in order to obtain a free pair of rubber gloves and a proctology manual... if only he knew what that was..

Just kidding. GREAT post!

Canid, I have no idea what I was thinking when I posted that. I kind of like it, though.

BTW, I notice you said nothing about the hunger for human flesh... Is it true?

 

Should we not feed the wolves?

Well, it isn't my favorite meat, but herbivor/omnivor(vegans are better though) meat is all the same to me, I don't mind. Still, why not feed the wolves even then?

theres a reason I go dressed in full plate.... so much harder to gnaw on me then. And in between the wolves, cannibals and crazies, you need all the protection you can get.

The heads of the previous mods! How thoughtful *grabs one by the ears and yells at it* AND YOU LEFT ME WITH THIS? HOW DARE YOU?! I'LL RESURRECT YOUR CORPSE AND THEN I'LL KILL YOU! I'M A NERVOUS WRECK BECAUSE OF THESE PEOPLE! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF THEM!

 

err..... disregard the last sentence. *forced grin*

Using a small illusion he makes an apple look like garlic. Then floats by.

"I wont be at your funeral. But this isnt your funeral is it." He says eating his garlic.

 

"Mmmmmmmm, good garlic." He said as he flew off.

To Knight, Canid, and Tam:

You people are freaking vultures! The first thing you ask after I die is "How will this help me, Where's my cut, and Why wasn't I first?" I'm DEAD!!

 

Now that that's been said;

 

I'm glad to see that you liked it.

Arawn bursts into the room, tears running from his eyes.

"Alas poor, Finnus I knew her well!"

 

Someone leans over and whispers into Arawn's ear. A look of suprise appears on his face.

 

"Oh, sorry, I meant 'A lad poor Finnus......"

 

The person leans over again and whispers into the Mad King's ear. Arawn turns as red as his words.

 

"Are you sure?"

 

The man leans over again, and whispers.

 

"But I don't know a Finnius!"

 

Arawn stands there for a moment thinking it over. He quickly dries his eyes

 

"Nevermind that, where's my abacus!?" Arawn grabs it and runs off.

 

OOC: Just kidding Fin,(Can I call you Fin? ) loved the post.

Seeing as I have not spoken German in quite a while, I have no idea if that was spelled correctly. I may just have embarrassed myself greatly.
