I haven't been too sure if the time was right for posting this, but seeing as how things have been a little...

*watches tumbleweed roll by*

dead around here lately... I figure this may be the best way to break the boredom.  So...

Given that there's going to be a number of changes from the original game, in the remake, I've been thinking that one of the changes could be some new epitaphs in the graveyard.  So post here if you can think of any good-sounding ones.

The rules:

- They can't be copied from any other game that has a graveyard. (like Quest for Glory 4 or the King's Quest 2 remake)

- They should ideally be 4-6 lines, but one-liners are acceptable. (like "Thorp's corpse" or "She done her best", but obviously not those exact ones)

- Rhyming ones are preferrable, but not required

- If it's a pop-culture reference, or a famous person, please specify

- Remember, the ghosts in the mansion are buried in the graveyard too, so... any ideas for their epitaphs are also acceptable

Finally, here are a few examples: (since it wouldn't be me if I didn't have some)

- This one is a Police Quest reference, as well as a song reference.

"J. Bains

1947 - 1988

He fought the law, and the law won."

- A Quest for Glory reference.

"Bruno

1543 - 1587

Here lies an assassin; whose poisonous blade
killed many a victim, till a mistake he made.
Challenged a great hero, one dark and cold night,
who defeated this madman and set everything right."

(I considered making it Minos' grave, but then I realized there would be two rich old misers in the graveyard.)

- This one is for the weeping lady ghost in the mansion.

"Betty Cowden

1363 - 1385

She waited and waited, for his safe return,
but troubling news she would soon learn.
His ship had been caught in a storm so great,
and her heart could not bear the news of his fate."

- This one is for the boy ghost in the mansion.

"Willy

1422 - 1429

'Stay out of the attic!', they'd tell this poor boy,
but still he would play there, with his favorite toy.
Had he only listened and stayed in his room,
he might not have slipped and fell to his doom."

- This one I just randomly thought of.

"Heed well this advice, to all who should read,
Stand not in the path of a rampaging steed."

So, yeah... feel free to post any that you can think of, or any comments you may have on my examples.
