Lightsabers and Lollipops

ABC Family is showing a "Bring It On -A- Thon.

well, i got my day planned.

i woke up this morning and realized that when i die i want to be placed in a coffin like the one they used for Spock in Star Trek II The Wrath Of Kahn.
yes. for all those nerds out there, i know that he was shot out in a torpedo tube.
i'm just sayin', that's what i want. i want to be disposed of in a big shiny black capsule.
if i could be shot into space that would be even better, but i bet that costs a whole lot more and insurance will refuse to cover it.
even though it would be better to be shot into space than be buried in that thing. what if i did come back to life like Spock six feet underground encased in a large black bullet?
we all know i would be too lazy to dig myself all the way out. i might, if i even tried, get about half way and then decide it wasn't worth it and go back to sleep.
the "shot into space" scenario isn't much better.
unless scientists change their minds (like they did about Pluto) and decide that any of our other planets are inhabitable and/or contain an oxygen enriched environment, then getting out of the torpedo tube out there is a big no-no as well.
i would implode.
i think.
i just like saying implode.
really, how often can you work that word into a conversation?



so that's how i wanna go:
Star Trek II torpedo tube
shot into space
implode
play the song "Dead" by They Might Be Giants
the end.

that's right.

my daughter is watching classic Tom & Jerry cartoons and Jerry (the mouse) is dancing in a fancy restaurant with an inanimate doll that's used for a place holder.

she says,"that looks like a nice girl. cuz she doesn't argue or complain or anything."

my 7 year old said this.

all i could say was, "wow. i'm going to write that down."

...so i did.
