Sending people off

[Nephew Twiddleton]

On a serious note, when I go, I'm gonna get parted out, and the balance of my carcass will go off to a forensic training "corpse farm".

That's my plan too.

Speaking as a maintenance geek, it bothers the hell out of me to think of perfectly good corneas, kidneys, etc, getting thrown in a hole in the ground.

Because nothing gets wasted around here.

SALVAGE IT ALL!

The grossest part is the skin, but that's also probably one of the most useful parts.

That's gross and unsettling.

Several native American tribes also do this.

I like the scaffolds. They put people in trees, too.
Tibetans have a burial for each of their elements, I think. They do a divination of some kind when a person dies to dermine the mode of burial.

It's true.

You can do soooo much with skin.

So very much...

I think there was a recent post about a gorgeous European lampshade...

You don't know the half of it, mister. Like what they use to get the skin OFF, or the noise it makes.

Ugh.

Not sure what I want to do...but if I'm not cremated, I better go colorfully and with lots of company.

I've considered that. A corpse farm sounds pretty cool. 
Getting parted out would be an awesome thing to do for people too...as long as Cheney doesn't get our shit. 

So help me, if Cheney gets any of my parts, I hope said part backs up in the most revolting way possible, preferably somewhere on camera.

Farm out whatever's useful, toss the rest in a hole under an apple tree.

I hope the bastard gets my colon.

That made me laugh a laugh that frightened me...

It should.

My colon requires redundant stomach muscles.  Without them, I'd flip inside out when I took one of my more epic turds.

Ask Richter.  I dented his toilet.

The thought of that backing up on Cheney, on camera is making me make that laugh again...  It's kind of a lighter version of the one Nigel uses when she peels some poor hipster out of his skin...

Whoever is in charge of the funeral asks if someone wants to speak so presumably the ten year old agreed to it. Whether they did so out of obligation is another thing entirely.

As for myself i want the standard wake funeral and burial. I used to want cremation until i considered the environmental implications. Funeral service is to be nonchristian but some sort of watered down spiritual thing. Getting hammered is obligatory and some whiskey is to be spilled on my grave. Extra points if the wake is arranged such that people think its a party at a bar and theres a half consumed drink in front of my slumped over body with cool kid written on my forehead. Poor bastard who realizes im dead gets one on the house.

Honestly I am surprised the bolded was never acknowledged.

We can do this...  Is "cool kid" obligatory, or may we, in our sodden delirium, improvise?

Totally missed it.

I approve, but for some reason, prudes in government call that "desecrating a corpse", when you and I know it's really "having a laugh".
