Seriously, though, if we all suddenly had to choose a pop-culture-themed transportation vessel from this life to whatever's next, what would yours be? I'll start: Arrested Development's Bluth Frozen Banana Stand, a.k.a. the Big Yellow Joint. Life-size replica so I could really stretch out, plus "there's always money" in there for my many travels. Margaret would like this PBR casket and a can of PBR, please. Bruno would like to be cremated and stored in a Flavor Flav-style clock cremation urn, so he doubles as a timepiece and isn't just wasting space up on the mantel. Slezak refuses to play along with my silly games and wants nothing more than "to be cremated and spread on the racetrack." So I will just go ahead and decide that this "racetrack" will be the animated landscape of the chalk drawing in Mary Poppins.
Mandi, being Mandi, wrote all this: "Oh, you know. I might have a standard-looking casket on the outside, but then on the inside, have the material silk-screened to look like the "Recorded List" from my DVR. So it would just be the names of my favorite shows of all-time, and the original airdates of my favorite episodes. And like, where the Star Trek symbol is, they could build a holder for my last remote."
She wins. With which pop culture-y theme would you prefer to leave this earth, P-Dubs?
Apparently, a Dr. Who funeral is not an impossible option. From Geekologie:

I want a Chenbot-themed coffin that says, “But last…” everytime it’s touched in a creepy, ironic tribute to my final resting place. I also wouldn’t mind having “The Ultimate Dutch Oven” painted on the side of it as a tribute to “The Soup.”
sooo getting something Marvel related..
I would like a Pushing Daisies coffin please. All bright and sunshine and French surrealist.
I have told my husband that I want to be cremated and have my ashes scattered in front of the Abbey Road Studios – and he knows I’m not kidding.
I was going to say TARDIS, but apparently someone’s beat me to it. You know you’d have space, though, what with the coffin being bigger on the inside.
That is a very cool idea. I want to be shot into space. No carbon credits needed. http://niceguyswanted.com
Anything related to Buffy ! And if I can get a replica of David Boreanaz by my side, then I KNOW I’m going to heaven !
I don’t want a theme coffin, but Buffy really did warp me into thinking a family crypt was a great idea. And if some sexy vamp wanted to live in it and lay on my final resting place I would be okay with that. Even if it was a teenager pretending to be a sexy vamp, just so they let me oh so cliche Rest in Peace.
I love the idea of “The Big Yellow Joint”. If you needed some cash “on the other side” there is really, literally always money in the banana stand.
FOR NON OF THEN !!!!!!!!! I LOVE LIFE !!!!!!!!!!
