    But you wouldn’t be sand, you would be ash. And that would make for a shitty hourglass.

      So you can continue to be shitty in family game night! Don’t you also want to continue to cause disagreements and conflicts between family members?

      Don’t let my family know, I still want to keep ruining speed Monopoly…

      But I wouldn’t object if my ashes are like, 85% sand by volume. I’d be too dead.

      Then you get to participate in game night and be a disturbing anecdote.

        you say that like it would even be noticeable. You would probably just think it’s a weird nuclear fallout snowglobe type thing, until you flipped it over and looked at the bottom. Or dropped it.

      And if you stuck a dagger in it it would cause everyone to turn into sand zombies.

    Reminds me of a comic where Chaos Spacemarines from different factions are holding a meeting and the Tzeentch marine never shows up so the Khorne marine screams “HES PLAYING US LIKE A GODDAMN FIDDLE” but the real meta joke is that the Tzeentch marine is there, he’s the sand in the hourglass.

      Or a stepping stone! I wanna be a stepping stone! You can mix ashes into concrete and it makes it stronger depending on the amount.
