You *can* take it with you

Kindly join me in imagining that, contrary to the popular saying, you can take a limited number of personal possessions with you to the afterlife. What 5 things do you take with you?

  • No details are available at this time of what the afterlife is like or whether said objects will be any use to you there
  • Money in a single currency counts as 1 possession
  • You are not under any circumstances permitted to bring the complete works of Shakespeare with you. Or even the partial ones, for that matter.

For me I’m going to bring:

  1. My e-reader loaded with all my favourites and my huge list of unreads
  2. Media player loaded with as much music as I can fit on it in 96kbps mp3
  3. Bluetooth speaker
  4. Solar charger to keep all of the above topped up
  5. My glasses (with the magnetic sunglasses attachment)

Of course, if it turns out I’m in everlasting darkness then none of that will be any use for very long, but it’ll help take the edge off the first day or two of it at least.

Definitely hell if it’s being played through a bluetooth speaker!

Listen, if you all hate the idea of the bluetooth speaker so much, I’ll replace that and the media player with my phone instead: that gives me one extra possession to bring with me if I just play everything through the phone speaker.

Hey, it’s your afterlife, don’t listen to us idiots!

Seems like there’s going to be a fair amount of nudity in the afterlife!

I’m guessing that’s the main reason you’re bringing the guitar, for strategic placement midway between your sunhat and slippers.
