What a way to go?
« on: June 06, 2009, 10:51:53 PM »
Didn't know where else to post this; but this has to be seen to be believed.

"This is at a funeral home in Alabama. Just when you thought you've seen everything... and yes, this is a regular funeral home.  Dead, in his favorite chair (reclined), remote in hand... new, silky, black & gold pjs, slippers, beer and a pack of Newport's in his ashtray, AND the football game is ON!"

Reminds me of an early biker flick- "Wild Angels"--I think.
They did something similar.
Dude sitting up--brought in some ladies, weed, etc.

Ashes are the way to go. Buy the time many of us die, it might be required anyways. Only so much room on this planet and it is more useful for those that are living.

Makes Me Remember

...... the actor Errol Flynn had just been to the burial of one of his best friends, Jack Barrymore (Barrymore had actually lived for awhile with Flynn in his mansion). Flynn and W.C. Fields rode in a procession car together and naturally for those two, stopped at a bar for some drinks.  Flynn couldn't take anymore, so he went home to his mansion.

Flynn came in the front door, turned to go into the living room and saw Jack Barrymore sitting in his favorite reclining chair with a cigarette in his mouth, his arm stretched out on the armrest with a drink of booze in his hand,....... as always his favorite position.  Flynn screamed like a maniac, turned, and went running out of his house.

Flynn's "friends" had arranged the entire thing.  That's why W.C. Fields delayed him at the bar while others took Barrymore's body and made all the arrangements in Flynn's house........ Flynn said he never drank again........ until later that night.

Gerhed, I wish I did it! It is pretty cool. I stumbled across it while exploring the dark corners of the net. Not the really dark corners where bestiality reside, more like the dimly lit ones! :D

A high profile gang member (slightly elevated above the usual scum by being bigger scum) died recently in NZ.
His bros' put him in a V8 and toured the country dropping in to do visits at all the major jails this dirtbag had wasted his foul life in.
The road trip took a week and as he hadn't been embalmed I guess they got sick of his carcass after that and finally buried him.
When they came to my jail I had great pleasure in shutting the gates on them ha ha ha.....what an epitaph....I spent most of my living days is jail (rape, murder, armed robbery etc).
I think his tombstone should read, NEVER WORKED, NEVER CONTRIBUTED TO SOCIETY, PROBABLY POLLUTING THE GROUND RIGHT NOW. :D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!
