And what's funny? I'd be totally down if M wants to burn me into a brick of hollwpoints.

I think people tend to attach too much significance to some things. Bullets being one thing.
How can you "continue to protect your home and loved ones" after you're gone? You can't. You're dead.
Whatever.

Oh, the whole thing is absurd, but it still sounds better than getting thrown in a hole.

It's like the redneck version of Hunter S. Thompson's funeral. Being shot out of a cannon and all that.

When my dog died I had a plan to have him cremated and then have his ashes shot out of a cannon.
My dad was horrified. To protect his feelings I permitted him (the dog, not my dad) to be buried in the back yard. Oh, well.

I think I'm gonna echo the words of Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
Stick my unembalmed corpse in a hole "so that the flora and fauna (plants and animals) can dine upon it, just as i've dined upon plants and animals in my life"
I hadn't thought of it that way. That just seem to make sense.

I don't really care much what anyone does with my meatbag after I'm done with it, BUT
Getting shot out of a cannon sounds allright, out of a rifle or a shotgun sounds sorta...Wall-Mart.
Gently decomposing sounds allright.
Overall this idea sums up what I think about it:
Gilbert Shelton in Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers #1 wrote:If I should die 'fore the rest of you should,
Just nail my bod in a box of wood;
Tell my friends the terrible news, and invite them in for acid and booze;
You can prop my up by the stereo and play the music as loud as it'll go;
You can get fucked up 'til the rising sun, and then it's time for the funeral run;
We'll go down the street in second gear, in a panel truck with a keg of beer;
And if you find a place that ain't paved over, you can lay me 'neath the proverbial clover.

While I find it all kind of silly, it makes a hell of a lot more sense than being buried in a cemetery.
If somebody decided to put my ashes in bullets, I'd be fine with that. Especially if they went out to a big gravel pit and shot beer cans with me.

I've long been frustrated by the realization that I won't be able to kill or injure people after my death. I had been hoping that maybe my diseased corpse might at least infect some people, but now I can rest easier knowing that my remains can be more aggressively lethal.

Look at the bright side. Most mall ninjas are too fat to be squids.

These are pretty cool, I still prefer the place that makes a gemstone from the ashes though.
