[EatMyCookie1234]

E-choked on a peach

V-squished by a train

A-fell down the stairs

N-died of an ennui -- wtf?

E-choked on a peach

S-perished of fits

I- drowned in a lake

C-wasted away

A-fell down the stairs

I wonder how many similar alphabets this has spawned. Thanks Gorey.

Basil reminded me of a disagreement I had with my culinary instructor. He insisted that the spice was pronounced "base-ill" because "Baz-ill" was the name of the guy who was in the old Sherlock Holmes movies. (Basil Rathebone)

I wonder if anyone mentioned this to "Roz-mah-ree" Clooney.

Why didn't you use A Gorey Demise?! His name's in the title, and it's based on this book, so it would TOTALLY make sense!

Y - head knocked in

L - swallowed some tacks
