More on Death...

In my more morbid moments, I enjoy exploring topics which are entirely unsuitable and inappropriate. Death has already been a topic of conversation in my blog and now I feel compelled to go further. But this travel into new grounds of death will not be the brilliant academic expose I should be famous for. Instead, how many ways can you say dead/death/dying without saying the aforementioned words...

Bite the Big One
Croaked
Kicked the bucket
Crossed the Great Divide
Pushing up daisies
Basting the formaldehyde turkey (a personal favorite I have only heard once)
The Big Sleep
Shed the mortal coil
Take a dirt nap
Become worm food
Sleeping with the fishes
Go the way of all flesh
Meeting the maker
Left the building
Pay the Piper

So how many can you add to the list without cheating?

    Okay, that last one's a stretch, but come on, let's be honest...
    Oh, and I love "Basting the formaldehyde turkey." :-) Hilarious

  2. I heard that in Chicago once from a friend of a friend. I almost suffocated to death from loss of air due to laughing.
