Morbid fascinations.

Jan 15, 2008 16:26

Sometimes I want to gnaw off my own face in frustration, but my friends are always there to gently buckle me into my comfy white jacket with all the fancy straps. Ok, so that's a weird metaphor even for me, but whatever. Thanks Milady Teacosy, a wise woman who knows that the best cure for sunburn is a little dose of darkness ( Read more... )

There is also at least one drive thru funeral parlor in the us.

My plan for my grandparents' ashes to be stored in matching salt and pepper shakers has been approved by my very catholic grandma. How completely awesome is that? I probably shouldn't have been so surprised. She's more practical than sentimental. She keeps grandpa's ashes in the closet where they don't get in the way.

I can totally belive that.

The salt and pepper shaker plan is pretty dang fantastic. Though I imagine one would have to be somewhat careful about where they go - I mean, that's one sort of seasoning you probably wouldn't want to add to your dinner.

That is an AWESOME vid. I wish I had something more substantial to say, but... yes.

Isn't it, though? The little jackals* are adorable.

*I debated trying to say Anubises or Anubii, but decided that would just be undignified.

" He's Anubis...ANUBIS! " " Ohhhhhh Marster Duckula CLOSE YER EYES! "

I had to put that joke in there

I was going to say something about them but refrained because I could not decide what to call them.

This doesn't really have anything to do with anything but...how would you gnaw your own face off? I mean I could probably see you getting your lips at least and the cheeks if you go from the inside...and maybe part of the nose if you maybe like pulled it down far enough? Hmmmmm *ponders ( ... )

re: face-gnawing... well, see, that just shows you how frustrated a person can be.

Oh yeah, formaldehyde is such an aphrodisiac.

Ghana coffins are seriously kickass. Green nerf float is somewhat... odd.

Oh yeah, formaldehyde is such an aphrodisiac.

Maybe to morticians lol. " Darling! *sniffsniff* Is that...Eau de Mortis you're wearing?!?!?! KISS ME *smoochsmooch* " XD

I wanna be pencils! All my friends can write novels with my ashes. I like that idea . . .

The first half of that made me feel bad for the havoc my inevitable death will wreak on the planet, and I felt as though I should crawl off and quietly decompose somewhere. At least if the pencil thing doesn't work out.

If only I could make a mix so deeply goth that it would cause a total eclipse . . . take that, sunburn!

Oh dear, I didn't even notice at first, but you are (were) listening to Soulsavers as you typed!!! Joy! Celebration! Success! I am so pleased!

In an unrelated note, I followed to link to Mortuary, and was astonished and a wee bit depressed to see that Denise Crosby AKA Tasha Yar was in it. I guess I'm glad she's getting work, but DAMN! She left TNG for this? Whooof.

pooryorick January 16 2008, 21:03:29 UTC

Yes, of course I am listening to your terribly wonderful music! Yesssss.

And oh yeah!! I knew I forgot to mention something about that movie. She's the mom/incompetent mortician. I recall staring at her for some time in the movie until I suddenly went OMG TASHA YAR. Crazy!

rosynose January 16 2008, 20:37:17 UTC

Oh boo, it says the video is no longer available :c I wanna seeee.
Sorry about the frustration *hugs* When you're back drawing we'll badger you constantly with demands to draw everything we can think of, to make up for it :D

rosynose January 16 2008, 20:44:01 UTC

Oh wait, false alarm. Man, that's one cool short! And funny despite the subject matter. You've got to laugh, eh?

pooryorick January 16 2008, 21:05:51 UTC

Glad you got to see it. And well, I think it's amusing.

rosynose January 16 2008, 21:37:37 UTC

I'm afraid I only went off the idea of being buried after I saw photos of adipocere formation in embalmed/buried corpses *sigh* So shallow. I love the tree-fertiliser and 250 pencils ideas, though (who would you sell them to, though? Would one give them out at the funeral, like party bags? Do you have to put 'made of CORPSE' on them when you sell them? So many questions).
