VAM yet again...

Kevy's going to be quite upset that he can't take his junk with him....

You can't take it with you but you can take it with you all the way up to the exact moment when you no longer care.

No you certainly can't take it with you when you die. We all will die. For example you can't take your Wii with you. It's just material objects. As for the wanting an item NOW well that's what makes the economy go around.

What do you mean I can't take my stuff with me!?!?!?!

Strangler Lewis · 11-14-2008, 05:11 PM

I can accept that my father died and that my mom won't be around forever. What's going to be really trippy is when my children, grandchildren and so on start passing on.

As to the add campaign, I was very, very, very mildly amused that an atheist organization used a phrase that I believe assumes the existence of a god whose name is not to be abused. And the campaign still sucks.

It's not like you'll be around to see it (probably). Unless you're a vampire.

That's why i live life to the fullest....and to cherish moments with friends and family. Time is precious.

I think the phrase is meant mostly for money. Unless you're Scrooge, you don't enjoy the money in its money form.

Stop hoarding, spend it on yourself, have a good time or buy stuff. Give to charity. Heck, bestow it on your hiers while you're still alive and watch them enjoy it.

But don't just keep it there ... You Can't Take It With You.

I think it means, don't waste your time making more money than you need. Spend your time on people and things that you love.

That's certainly the message of the play and movie, notwithstanding Grandpa's refusal to pay his income tax.
