Title: Most Awesome Gravestone EVER!
Post by: BlueStarLizzard on September 15, 2011, 06:57:48 PM: Today, while helping my mom on some things, she stoped at an graveyard out in middle of no where fluvanna county and asked me,
"you want me to show you the funniest headstone you will ever see?"

Predictably, I said "yes, of course."

After I I read the (rather large) headstone and laughed my ass off, I ran back to the car to take pictures so I can share with you lot.
:lol:

Enjoy.

the overveiw....

Isn't wife #2 lovely?

So, here lies Buckshot.... But not wife #1, because they got devorced....

(notice that he kindly provided us with his SSN, so the government KNOWS where he is)

However, Buckshot got along with wife #1 well enough to have four kids, before marriage to wife #2, who he clearly liked much better....

But they only had one kid...

And here's his resume.... He had a fourth grade education, founded a bunch of stuff.

I guess he figured it was good to have on hand before going to see st. peter. Clearly, he was well preped for that interveiw....

In summery, he was a good, modest guy (loved his wimmonz and kids), although, that bit about being straightforward may have been a touch redundent...

:laugh: :lol: :laugh:

Too bad Buckshot has passed on. He'd probably fit in around here.
=D

Post by: Scout26 on September 15, 2011, 07:12:02 PM: Looks like Ol' Buckshot married Russel's mom when he was about 30. ;/ :O ;)

And it's doesn't appear that Mrs Buckshot#2 is dead or if she is, she ain't buried with Ol' Buckshot. ;/

Grim? You ain't seen grim 'til you've checked out the cheery little monuments known as transi tombs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadaver_tomb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadaver_tomb)

Married Mrs#2 - 16 July 1973
They had one son - Russell - born 17 Sep 1944

Which means Little Russ was just shy of his 30th Birthday when Mom and Dad got Married. ;) =D ;/ :O

Nope, nothing compares to grim like the Ossuary at Verdun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douaumont_ossuary). Nothing like looking in the windows and seeing the bones of over 130,000 killed in WWI.

Title: Re: Most Awesome Gravestone EVER!
Post by: Scout26 on September 16, 2011, 03:09:41 PM: Nope, Second Mrs. Buckshot had RUSSELL in 1944, 30 years before she married Ol' Buckshot in 1973.

Doesn't say when Ol' Buckshot got rid on the First Mrs. Buckshot, but they had their last kid in 1932. So I'm going to guess that sometime between 1932 and 1944. Although something makes me want to say it was probably right around Summer of '44 when Mrs. Buckshot the Firstest gave him the old heave-hoe.

Call it a hunch. ;) =D

Actually, i'm slightly concerned by the Gatewood on that stone.

Buckshot may actually be related to me.

Funny thing is I don't think momma noticed that.
