Guess we can get that gun now

(An epitaphany shared most closely with Mark, with similar sentiments from Shawn and Joe)

Or
Soylent Green is Heston
(Another popular epitaphany suggested in various forms by Mark, longtime observer Tammy, Joe and Monty)

Or
I'll see you in hell you damn dirty apes
(Kudos to Peter)

Or
Heston is Restin'
(Whoop whoop for Monty)

Or
Guns and Moses
(Stolen from politico.com by Michelle H)
Right wing, gun toting ham and book on tape narrator for Madonna’s Sex Charlton Heston was killed in the family’s weekly gunplay last Saturday at his Beverly Hills, California home at the age of 84. Heston’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease was ironic, given that he made his career playing historical figures no one remembered, like El Cid, Ben Hur, Sir Thomas More, Cardinal Richelieu… Moses. In nearly 100 movies, Heston portrayed the same forceful big block of granite – I mean really, was there any difference between Robert Neville in The Omega Man, Will Penny and Brad Braden in The Greatest Show on Earth? Add in a loathing for mankind and you’ve got Taylor from Planet of the Apes. Add in a couple dozen wives and you’ve got Brigham Young in The Avenging Angel. When not rewriting history or overseeing the end of mankind, he ventured into the disaster genre, getting lowered into Karen Black’s cockpit in Airport ’75 and drowning himself rather than stay with Genevieve Bujold in Earthquake, and battling ants in The Naked Jungle. Along the way, the man who marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. on Washington decided that the real problem with America was that 7 days was far too long to wait to be able to shoot 24 kids at a time in a high school and became the president of the NRA. It was his decision to go on with the show when the NRA had scheduled its annual meeting in Denver the week after the Columbine massacre. He was elected to serve as president of the NRA for the 4th time in 2001, after the association revised its constitution to allow him to serve more than twice, so apparently it is possible to revise a constitution. His 4th term also came about a year after he had entered alcohol rehab, which he apparently started because he was afraid of spilling beer into his gun barrel.

There were only 8 men on a dead man's Cheston, who take 2.5 points apiece: Ern’s Closing Soon at a Theater Near You moves into 5th, My Better Late Than Never takes 8th, Michelle’s Lights, Camera, Casket climbs into 11th, while Aimee, Shawn’s Team Old, Peter, Joy’s Cold as Ice – no longer just an observer, and Jen inch into 29th. Matt is now our pole sittah, coming up on the anniversary of his last hit: Kitty Carlisle Hart.
