You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fun fact about Shelbyville:

The city of Shelbyville was founded by Shelbyville Manhattan in 1796

Hee.

ION,

Scientists have produced superheated gas exceeding temperatures of 2 billion degrees Kelvin, or 3.6 billion degrees Fahrenheit.

This is hotter than the interior of our Sun, which is about 15 million degrees Kelvin, and also hotter than any previous temperature ever achieved on Earth, they say.

They don't know how they did it.

Rubbing two sticks together?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm told it's illegal to transport an unembalmed body across state lines.

Three of my grandparents died in one state and were buried in another, with no embalming. (Two died in NY and buried in NJ, one died in Connecticut and buried in Massachusets.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I know you are all waiting to hear how my form filling out is going. Tonight working on them was delayed not from working late, but from dinner with BFF (YAY! yummy!). Anyhoo - since I had exhausted past address info from my "leases" file, I dug into my "medical/IDs" file and my "utility letters" file. I now have full addresses back to 1994.

Hopefully the parental units will have the 93-94 address, then I have from memory the 1979-1993 addresses and I know the parentals will have the 1973-1979 addresses. DONE!

of course, the next form is the financials form which asks for balances on everything, so that is another night of file digging.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I don't want to be burned or embalmed. You can give the good bits away though.

Maybe find me a Jewish funeral home? "she's a gentile who skeeves on the other stuff. can you give us a hand?"

And I love the line

ita, that was hands down my favorite line in the show, too. I'm really liking it. I hope it sustains this level of enjoyable.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

eta: Donation and cremation as well, but still with the tears. Wailing is acceptable. And I'll probably put a clause in my will handing over all my signed first editions to the first mourner who ululates.

I now have the mental image of a funeral with bibliophiles flinging themselves onto the coffin like lemmings jumping off a cliff.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Awww. You may be the first person in the State of New York to donate her body to pet food.

That is a particular exception for Dallas if I'm not found for a few days. It is not carte blanche of me as pet food.

Yeah, yeah. We have you in writing, as quoted above, saying you're giving it away for free and you don't expect us to think of pet food?

Wait, let me think about this some more...
