what happens HERE when a pastafarian dies?

[_Tex_]

I would like to be boiled and served to family and friends with a nice sauce.



Of course, there may be some laws that interfere. Our religion is being repressed by the man!

actually it is in my will that i should be cremated and the ashes baked into a cake. this cake will be eaten at my wake.

Y'know, it's a really interesting experiment. How far will your family go to venerate your will?

[Duke]

How would we (us on the forums) know if someone dies?


Duke

One would hope that the family of the deceased would let us know.

A ha, but how would the family of the deceased know to let us know?

Ok, everybody, say in your will that your family members are to contact us when you die!

The hospitals can have whatever parts they can use for transplants. I won't be needing them.

But my wish is I'll be so ancient, and so thoroughly worn out after a more than a century of debauchery, that none of my innards will be fit to be fed to a dog.

They can just burn the rest.

Duke,

Dan has all the information to be able to contact the forums that I go to, and all the stuff for closing out my e-mail, etc.

I've already closed my e-Bay and PayPal accounts (if paypal will ever actually DO it) and stopped anything that has automatic billing.

There are instructions for all of it. You set it up, stash it away where someone responsible knows where it is, and then you don't worry about it. live until you're dead, die as much as possible on your own terms, and don't get all bent out of shape about extraneous crap in the mean time.

Don't take this existence too seriously. You'll never get out of it alive anyway.

I don't think about those things. Happy I don't have to. Yet.

family wont. But my mate Chris will make sure, he's very hard to say no to.

Don't die on us, Auntie!

I'm currently living in blissful unawareness of death and decay, and I don't particularly want to write a will and depress myself. Besides, I'm a legal minor, so I don't have much to give out...

[Sir Francis Drake]

You are truly an inspiration for us all, Aunt DeeDee. You aren't mean at all, but strong... strong as a Nor'Wester!!! Long may ye blow!

ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

[MeatballEucharist]

I suggested this elsewhere but I think as a formal part of the Loose Cannon I think we work from Viking funerals. Very Pirate like, very epic, and with a few tweeks when we file for religous status it will be legal in time for me to get one.

[fueledbycoffee]

Well, I would say we know, now. Sadly. What happens is everybody makes posts dedicated to the deceased, we get a sig banner, and everyone mourns him like a friend or acquaintance. Seems like what happens in real life.

Aye, that be true. But don't forget that we all spend time thinkin' about what the departed meant to us, and how our lives arrrrgh better for knowin' 'em. There are, sadly, a very few of us in the world, and the loss of even one is a great one.

And to define terms, us = rational, intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate, humorous, and yes, faithful beings. Faith isn't just something for a church, it's bigger than that. Believing in us, in our ability to be more than what we are, is the most important thing in the world. And the people here remind me of that. Not always - sometimes I just chuckle, or shake my head, or wonder what the hell they were thinking (or not thinking) when they posted. But on the whole that's what this is about. Not accepting what was as what will be. Questioning, laughing, enjoying, learning, and growing. And our dearly departed helped us with all those things.

...blah blah blah... and with a few weeks when we file for religious status it will be legal in time for ...blah blah blah...

Wait a second... have we REALLY filed? Because if we have I need to know what it takes to become an ordained minister!

When we Die, 15 zealots of our kind must gather and drink while sitting on us, in full pirate regalia.

'15 men on a dead man's chest. yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum.'

In Canada that's, "Yo ho ho and a bottle of Molsen's, eh."

[anickels]

Personally, I'd suggest that the best way to mourn death and simultaneously celebrate the glory of the heaven to which the departed is traveling is to drown your sorrows in beer. Much beer. As an added bonus, once you've imbibed enough, you can still talk to the departed!

*Raises Beer*
Here's to Saint John The Blasphemist.

[Angel-Hair Archmage]

We could cremate and mix into pasta and make a Spaghetti and ashballs, but I don't know who would eat it.
Maybe mix into beer? or shove it down a stripper and make her O.D.
