TOMB, n. The House of Indifference. Tombs are now by common consent invested with a certain sanctity, but when they have been long tenanted it is considered no sin to break them open and rifle them, the famous Egyptologist, Dr. Huggyns, explaining that a tomb may be innocently "glened" as soon as its occupant is done "smellynge," the soul being then all exhaled. This reasonable view is now generally accepted by archaeologists, whereby the noble science of Curiosity has been greatly dignified.

Initially an obstacle to recycling, but in time a site.
Tomb: Resurrection's anteroom.
(Great update today, Doug.)
A monument to the real estate market.
I agree with Al, your update is superb.
tomb, n. the confirmation that the concept of personal space is deep within our bones!
Without tombs we'd never remember where we took the dead ones.
Tomb: Mrs. Jim is to spread my ashes in the places I had wanted to go but never made it. Where should my tomb be? I think my tomb will not be visible to those who wish to pay respect.

Al left no tomb unturned. Know how bad that is, just couldn't resist
Tombs are good for Halloween and vampire stories

Bird bones are roomy, Minka.
Ha, Ariel. I tie balloons to mine.
Jim, from your site that sounds pretty local.
Pia, every buyer is a blessing these days.

Lazarus, come forth!!!
The stone's been rolled away!!!
He is risen!
Tombs always remind me of resurrection.
It's just the word, I guess. It makes me go from death straight to life.
In actuality, tombs are musty, like you said.
Uh-oh, I feel a sneeze coming on...
:-)
In movies they're always boobey-trapped. Is that for recruiting? Indiana Jones taught me to avoid them. And that sand does not equal the same weight as gold. And to well...duck.
... don't mind me as I pass thru... still looking for Grant.
Anyone seen him?
He doesn't appear to be where he was last put.
Lieberman and McCain were both last put into the Senate. A tomb for both of them.
You must be thinking of Antigone.

Tomb: A place to lie immobile forever.
A place to leave your last words to the living.
Not a place of great joy.
A raven will not rest entombed like other mere mortal beings.
Save me a spot, Brother.
Tomc, TLP, is how I always go.
Actonbell, that's almost always smartest. Quietest, at least.
Thanks, Coop. I'll take a 10.
Hahaha, Jenn. Yes, for recruiting.
Saurkraut, did you try under the horse?
Um. Could be, Icy.
SACADA, you have lots left over from halloween, don't you?
You too, A-bell.
Oh, man, Bear. Sorry to hear.
Nope, Terry, that would be a waste of good eatin'.
