Last words, tombstone engraving, and knuckle tattoos for me are all the same:
“Taco Time”

Tombstone “He died at his post defending his country”

Song “On Some Faraway Beach” Brian Eno

"see, I told you I was sick"

"Watch this"

I support this.

"Hold my beer"

"I feel inadequate"

There is nothing to do and there is nowhere to go
There is nothing to be and there is no-one to know.

Things proceed from nothing, through nothing, and to nothing.
Hegel

Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. That was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of ‘world history’, but nevertheless, it was only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die. One might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature. There were eternities during which it did not exist. And when it is all over with the human intellect, nothing will have happened.
Nietzsche

Hope there's a Groupon at the engraver down your way.

Groupon! Ha. Remember that thing? 'Member that dude here made like a gazillion dollars when he sold it?

It's crowd-sourcing now for things like this.
