The funeral.

[evlbstrd]

Services will be held for me on Sunday, June 3, Redemptorist Parish at 5 pm.

[Mabus]

1. Cool.

Will there be a wake?

P.S. Where is the parish?

[evlbstrd]

2. Damn straight there'll be a wake!

I wouldn't miss it.
Redemptorist is at Linwood and Broadway.

[Mabus]

3. Well, when is the wake being held?

Or is that part of the funeral service? I'm not real familiar with how those with Christian backgrounds do things.

btw, can I bring a date or three?

[evlbstrd]

4. My wake will be pagan.

We can have it any time. Even multiple times.

[Mabus]

5. How's your transportation?

I think we're halfway to another weekend.

[evlbstrd]

6. It's still broken.

And I can't afford to have my birthday party, either.

[Mabus]

7. The Admiral was talking about hitting the tables this weekend

If he does, I'll see if he can drop me off at your house. We can call proud and have our own little party. It can be BYOB. Heck, I'll see if Tim and Rex are available. I'd even make you a cake or something. You don't need money to have a birthday party.

[evlbstrd]

8. That sounds like a good idea.

Our group is an instant party. Just add beer.

[Mabus]

9. Thankfully there are liquor stores nearby

How clever of you evlbstrd, if, in fact, that is your name. :evilgrin:

[evlbstrd]

10. I scouted this neighborhood carefully.

Liquor stores within stumbling distance. Check.
Of course that's my real name! Aren't you really Mabus?

[Mabus]

11. Last I checked that's what the name tag on my undies said

:blush:

[evlbstrd]

12. Mine says "Saturday".

Lemme check my drivers license. Crap! It's about to expire!

[Mabus]

13. Made you look

:rofl:

It was part of my grand plan. I knew your license would be expiring and this was the only way I could think of to make you look at it. :)

[evlbstrd]

14. Oh, my license.

I thought you meant my underwear. Double Dastardly!

[Mabus]

15. Actually I'm a little surprised

that 1) you wear underwear and/or 2) that you could pry them away from your body. :evilgrin:

[evlbstrd]

16. That raises another question.

When the hell did I get "Saturday" tattooed on my ass?

[Mabus]

17. I think the undertakers did that

Your funeral is on a Sunday, right? They tatooed Saturday on your ass so they'd know when to dust you off.

By the way, what time is your party on Friday? See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=153&topic_id=8179&mesg_id=8179 Rex says he'll drop by my house at 5:30. We can be at your house by 6:30. We really hope you'll be there.

[evlbstrd]

18. So much for an open casket.

Friday at 6:30 should work just fine.

[Mabus]

19. Huh?!?

If "Saturday" is tattooed on your ass, how would that affect whether it was an open coffin or not? Do you have a glass bottomed sarcophagus?

[evlbstrd]

20. If the undertakes would do that

they'd put me in the box ass-up.
Fuck it. No box. I have matches.

[Mabus]

21. Okay

So what's really going on June 3rd?

[evlbstrd]

22. I can't decide.

It's a Sunday. I could mow my lawn and listen to the radio. Or I could crash the funeral. I'd love to sign the guest book.

[Mabus]

23. I get it now!

If you signed the guest book you might needlessly freak out a lot of people.

[evlbstrd]

24. I could wear a name tag.

Hello
My name is...
And bring my poor traumatized family.

[Mabus]

25. Just because your family was traumatized

doesn't mean you should traumatize another family.

How long ago did this guy die? Your family got the card before St. Patrick's Day. Does this mean your real name is James Brown? Or have they buried him yet?

[evlbstrd]

26. You're right.

I wouldn't do that, but evljr called the church and told them they had the right name but the wrong guy and the wrong address.
I don't know the exact date. But it was in early March, I think.
We were gonna legally change my name to my screen name. Can I be James Brown now? Ooooooooo-ow! Get down!

[Mabus]

29. Must have been a procrastinator

Late for his own funeral. :rofl:

I hope evljr didn't try to give them your address.

[evlbstrd]

32. Something somehwere is confused.

They already have my address. Same name, wrong guy. Two different sources, one of them being the church itself. I understand he was a successful attorney. Maybe I have checks coming.

[Mabus]

33. I've seen this movie

It was called "The Three Faces of Eve". Apparently one of your split personalities was pretty successful. You should see if there was any insurance where you are the beneficiary.

[evlbstrd]

34. This could get very interesting.

Especially if it gets out to my immediate family.
Otherwise, the name makes us clan.

[BuelahWitch]

27. Won't the name tag be on your toe?

Awfully hard to see down there, even for us short chicks...

[evlbstrd]

28. I'll put my feet up.

I might even wash 'em.

[Mabus]

30. I was hoping he'd wear it as a nose ring.

:rofl:

[Mabus]

31. We could make it a party for two reasons

;)

[evlbstrd]

35. Whatchoo talkin bout?
