The music at your funeral
i fully expect my funeral to be fun. i mean, someone posted here saying this thread has put the FUN back in funeral.
Someone once asked me what kind of funeral I wanted (because, well, a bunch of skinheads said they were going to "get me".) My answer then stands for now: A Viking Funeral
Get rippin' drunk on the beach while my corpse burns in a tiny boat just offshore.
We'd even found a toystore that sold plastic replicas of the helmets, swords, and shields...
Alas (?), this never came to fruition.
Oh man, I'm picturing decalogue's would-be viking funeral and laughing my ass off. A bunch of drunk guys in plastic horned helmets singing and dancing along while a dingy burns just off shore. That sounds like a good time for me. Definitely putting the fun back in funeral.
There was going to be Delicious Viking Girls there, too!
Icing on the cake, man. You're viking funeral's nearing perfection.
Drinking ale out of ram's horns, Swedish girls in chainmail bikinis, my flaming corpse... Really, what else do you need?
I am there. I am so there. It's really too bad you won't be joining us.
so, when people die in your family, xchuck, do they keep the corpses somewhere, the refrigerator perhaps?
hah, more like that Japanese family that kept their dead grandmother in the spare room for 18 months because they couldn't bare parting with her... until the smell got so bad.
i'd still be interetsed in knowing what xchuck's family does with the dead bodies . . . food for worms in the backyard, or easy grilling on the barbie.
They bury them, or cremate(sp) them, but we don't make a ceremony out of it. We just drop them off at the coroner's(sp).
That sounds unpersonal. But, what do I know, it could be great.
my friends in shamokin are fourth generation morticians.
For my [i]own[/i] funeral, I choose either Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music (all 4 sides) or Current 93's Dog's Blood Rising (the whole album).
