Cemetaries...discuss. Scary or cool? Or both maybe? ;)
 

I'm gonna have to go with both.
I actually like looking at really old headstones, etc.

I guess cemetaries are alot cooler when you're looking around them than when you're buried in them though ;)

Sounds cool! I'd like to see it. That's a good idea for a new thread...CEMETARY PHOTOS...OOOOOO ;) Or you all can just post them here! :)

Very cool. :D

Wow...Your mother was born in a cemetery?...My, that's interesting :p ...I'm just messin' with ya...



But...How about 'interesting' for one of your options as opposed to 'scary' or 'cool'?...


I find cemeteries interesting, especially the old ones...I read the headstones, and figure out the ages of the people who are buried there...When it is a child, I often wonder what happened to them...Sometimes you'll see a parent and a child buried on the same day, and think 'maybe car wreck?'....I've seen up to 6 members of the same family buried in the same year, makes me wonder 'cholera?'...For me it's a bit of a study in human history...Although, reading headstones is supposed to be 'bad luck'...I come from a superstitious lineage...Oh well...:)

Ohhh..I gotta get this pic scanned. I was at the World Trade Center site in July of 2002...and ya know how across from the site there's the memorials? anyways, I peeked behind one of the banners and there was this real old cemtery there, and from the looks of it, it was being moved...they were digging up graves!!!! yeah, it was creepy lookin and I took pictures.

Interesting works too ;) Yeah I do the same thing...I always wonder who the people were, etc....what their lives were like.

Wow, I wish I had just named this post CEMETARY PICS...SHARE!;) You guys are surprising me with all of the things you're coming up with :) I can't wait to check out the pics!

Born in a cemetary?! What a great place to be born! :D

Cemetaries freak me out because it reminds me of death, and my own impending death. It's sad because you have to wonder; why do people have to die?

well in a cemetery near me there is an angel that has read tears coming out of its eyes

i dont think cemetaries are cool or scary.

(i think they are a huge waste o space myself.


that being said i appreciate a lot of the older carvings, etc ...
and the ones they show in new orleans are funky ..

but i just dont understand why everyone isnt cremated.

It's out of respect, urgeok. That's why they don't just get rid of them in the most convenient way possible just to save space! Geez, what are you an economist?




(he he, the newb strikes back :D )

sometimes the really old cemeterys are cool. Sometimes they having funny stories of how someone died on it, like "Choked on a pea" (That was one that I actually saw)

respect is how you treat someone when they are alive ...
i dont think they give a shit when they are a lifeless corpse.

year 2005 and we're still as barbaric as ever.

I grew up with a cemetary at the top of my street. Twas a really old one too. (Well as old as you can get burying white people in the USA. Our British friends might scoff, and rightly so).

Anyway... It was the first place I ever smoked pot. It was also a cool reserve for graveyard dirt...a delightful but morbid magickal component.

even wiccas like Dirt and Worms !!

Gummy worms!!!! I love gummy worms, and gummy bears, and gummy assorted creatures!

i like gummy old ladies :D

I really don't want to be rude...but why do I feel like your posts are always filled with complete BS? ;) I feel like you make statements to try and shock people on here or something, but you over do it a little. If you're going to lie, at least do it better than that ;)

Yeah, that's true too. I feel the same way when I have to go to a wake...you just sit there and look at the body and realize that one day you're going to be the body that everyone is looking at;)

Yeah...I may not have a wake... ;)

I'm not having a wake, and my cemetary is gonna be held in a gymnastics school when they're having a class. Then they'll just throw me in a lawn bag and call it a day.

That's so beautiful *sniff sniff* ;)

Knowing my relatives I'll probably buried with my legs poking up out of the ground.
Strange that some of the cemetaries I've been to have great views, the one near my grandparents town overlooks a beach.

When I travel I like to take pics. of graveyards and such.

I should put them all in a book and sell it, somebody will buy that shit.

There's a market group for ANYTHING. I could make a video of a baby eating another baby, and I guarantee some shmucks would fork over their hard-earned dollars for it.

Cemetaries r orsum cos u can read old gravestones like one i found:
Under this stone
Lies poor John Round
Los at sea
And never found
orsum or wot!!!!!!!!!!:confused:

TOAST

is that you ModestasM?

maybe he was referring to Orsom Wells ..

Cemetaries are total goth magnets. My grandfather owns one, and I lurk around and try to bang all the highschool goth girlys that come around to express their "inner death".

In Glasgow, recently I noticed that there is a cemetry right in the middle of a housing estate - Tollcross Rd, East end.

I studied Env Management at a Uni (yes I did go to school), part of which covered Env. Law. I always assumed that houses shouldn't be built on top of cemetries? Planning Laws etc

Has no one ever seen Poltergiest, for gods sake?

no - because they dont exist ..

I meant the film - houses built on cemetaries lead to scary * I think not* goings on with your tv set.

I don't ever want to be in a cemetary, I have a weird problem with spirit paranoia...although, I do love pictures of cemetaries

my house is built on an ancient dump site ..

we have the ghosts of old milk bottles and used bic lady razors moving through the walls.

why do you make me want to roll my eyes so often? lol

it's what i do ..

i've been doing it to girls since i was your age.


i have no other skills - except for drawing ...

if i draw your highschool picture will you go to the prom with me ?

The one's we have here in New Orleans are cool and creepy but I think of it in a way most people normally wouldn't...

I think they're creepy in the daytime and cool at night.



p.s.
I specified New Orleans because we have tombs instead of graves.

i think they are cool too ... like the old italian graveyards .. a lot of character ... something to actually look at ..

I think you've seen that movie one too many times, hahaha

:D it's the best :)
