Requesting your tombstones

For Halloween, Little Wallaby and I are putting tombstones in our front lawn. I have come up with one, we need more.
Here Lies
FELIX
In Space No One
Could Hear Him Scream
So now I need more. Who wants to help and has ideas? Maybe some from pop culture, maybe strange and rude. But we want to make people laugh if they take the time to read them. However, we want them to be original.
By the way, if you like Felix, feel free to use it.

Dear Sweet Leota
Beloved by All
In Regions Beyond Now,
Having A Ball
(and it would be best if you could find a way to put a sculpture of a face on it ... and animate it to give it very subtle movement, or eyes that open/close or ...)
Never mind, it's all been done before.

Near the library, there's a PaKua studio; when they decorate their windows for Halloween, here's a couple they have:
Here lies Master Vick
Hit in the head with a roundhouse kick.
Blow to the ribs
Kick to the head
That is why this poor ninja's dead.
While actor DeForest Kelly was alive, he worried about two things: being typecast (for non-Trekkies, he was Dr. Leonard McCoy on the original Star Trek series), and his tombstone reading "He's dead, Jim." The first came to pass; the second he circumvented by being cremated and buried at sea. I would think he could've ordered his tombstone to just give his name and dates; apparently he didn't think of that.

Under that, you should just have some silver gloves and boots sticking out of the ground, with a small torn parachute!
when I saw the thread, I was about to say "pepperoni and sausage!"

Loved De Kelley - a true gentleman, and a very funny one. I recall a joint interview he gave with Bill Shatner back in the 80's, when Shatner was starring in the cop show T.J. Hooker. Kelley talked was asked about the typecasting, and whether it bothered him that people would call out to him, "Hi, Dr. McCoy!"?
His deadpan response was perfect: "Better that than, 'Hey, Hooker'!" :D:
