I'm sure (Brando) as the Godfather didn't anticipate dying in the garden playing with a child either. The guy survives being shot up only to be snuck up on by a kid...

That's what happened to the Waco Kid in Blazing Saddles too. You better watch out!

I'll keep my guard up!

Jimmy! You bastard! I was hoping to pick them up at the estate sale!

I've contemplated the fate of my collection some, but not who would notify my online peers, although seeing as how alot of my family is on facebook I'm sure my name would get tossed into someone's daily post.

As far as what will happen to my razors/mugs/brushes/mirrors/soaps etc, I don't know of anyone in the family who would use them. I gave my Brother in Law a double edge to introduce him to wet shaving, but he only used it maybe 3 times. He's always in too much of a hurry to slow down and enjoy a good shave.

I might leave the lot to the srp monthly drawing, that way they wouldn't just sit on some shelf.

There are two exceptions to that, I have a shaving mug and brush that belonged to my Grandfather and a shaving mug that belonged to my Great-Uncle, those I would leave to someone in the family.

Jimmy, my family has worked in the cemetery industry for quite a number of years and because of this I have been privy to some of the practices that go on inside a crematorium. Some of these practices will hinder your intentions of having your collection cremated with you. Most importantly, all metal is removed from the casket. Handles, hinges, basically anything shiny. This is because the emissions of the crematoria have to maintain certain environmental standards. It is for this reason that any surgical implants are also removed prior to cremation. Just a piece of useless information, pace makers explode when they are cremated.
Also, would you really trust your collection to someone whose job it is to strip dead bodies of surgical implants?

Well at least they wouldn't need to bring their own scalpels!

Read this in today's paper and thought it of interest to post here:

The last place I'd put my various username/password combos is an online service! Why not just walk around with them painted on a sandwich board?

This is rich! Two of my favorite movies. No wonder why I can't win the SRP movie quiz.

Back on topic... this is an interesting thing in the digital age. I keep a lot of secrets online, so I'm not sure I'd want my next of kin finding some of these things (i.e. how much I've spent on razors, for example). Of course, when I get married I'm sure all that will change.
