oh, dear U-pop – how we miss you from our element. soon, you’ll be gone due to Christmas music taking your xm car slot… I hope you return after the holidays!
Saw Tropic Thunder tonight – it was better than it might’ve been, but I was fooled by previews, and didn’t get as good a show as expected. Jack Black and Ben Stiller didn’t do much for me, but I was impressed by ol’ Downey and Nolte. We had a nice Thursday night date, anyhow! BHK got her allotment of popcorn and I enjoyed a soft pretzel and some crunch bar bites.
The earliest of the three is a winged death’s head, with blank eyes and a grinning visage. Earlier versions are quite ornate, but as time passes, they become less elaborate. Sometime during the eighteenth century — the time varies according to location — the grim death’s head designs are replaced, more or less quickly, by winged cherubs. This design also goes through a gradual simplification of form with time. By the late 1700’s or early 1800’s, again depending on where you are observing, the cherubs are replaced by stones decorated with a willow tree overhanging a pedestaled urn.
Pay special attention to the graph of the popularity of each motif and the slideshow of example gravestones. (thx, peterme)
