Valeview is a small farming community northeast of Griffinborough and due south of the Royal Honkytonk Inn. It has a small cemetary across the bridge from the main part of town that contains some interesting markers...
- Don't ask for whom the bell tolled, it tolled for me.
- This was rather harsh for a speeding ticket.
- "Whats the worst that could happen", he asked.
- I wish I'd checked the wind direction before the 'bigger they are, the harder they fall' challenge.
- Ha! - gutted by his own razor sharp wit.
- Sorry, Ma, How was I supposed to know "step on a crack, break your mother's back" would lead to this?
- She stopped going out because she was afraid of what might happen, so she stayed at home and died of boredom.
- So my idea for a dragon-flamed burger restaurant didn't work out. What are you, perfect?
- Don't make fun of dragons, you aren't big, you aren't clever & you most certainly aren't flame proof.
There are a couple of easter eggs here as well:
- This tomb previously raided by L. Croft.
- There's nothing here but a weathered fedora hat, looks like that Jones fellow beat you again.
The former refers, of course, to Laura Croft of the Tomb Raider video game/movie franchise while the latter refers to Stephen Spielberg's Indiana Jones movie/game franchise.
- Poor Nero, He was done in by a Wolfe.
Nero Wolfe, in case you're wondering is a fictional New York City detective created by Rex Stout in 1934. There were 33 novels and 39 short stories written about the detective.
The memorial statuary in the center of the back row of the cemetary has a quote from Katharine Hepburn.
"Life is hard. After all, it kills you."
