The Ultimate Chandelier!

My "weird and quirkieness" has always been low key. Well, ok, except when it comes to cats. Everything MUST be cats. But, there is always room for the [cue wavy 50s horror music and echo]weird... and... unusuaaaal... [/cue]

I have a tiny little fetish for funeral stuff. Always have, probably always will. We're talking the full deal here... graveyards, cemeteries, and hearses (Scott even helped me stumble on what I consider a modern mini hearse, which K&D made even cooler!). Once I even applied to Mortuary School, but thought a veterinarian would make more money. Which just goes to show teenagers really don't know a goddamn thing (Nina).

Went digging around tonight and stumbled onto this which I think is hot as, well, you know, but my mother would kill me since she bought me a 'gothic style' chandelier already. So I think, "maybe a car?", but Scott says that our neighbors probably wouldn't appreciate me parking a hearse in the driveway. He also says real-estate appraisers get all fluttery when a funeral car with a blower through the hood and chrome pipes under the fenders is sitting in front of the house.

So, Skullie, it's time that we re-evaluate our lives and open that funeral parlor. Battie can do the books ;). My mom said she would do the hair and makeup (No really! I come by my quirks naturally!).

Update: Link repaired and spelling checked. Should all work now.

You know, I was really thinking of taking the online mortuary school lessons. Maybe I'll invest after I get my fattieboomdaddie raise.

Count me in.

"This is to be your... grave!" BLAH!

Duuuuuuuuude!! I think that's duable!!

This morning, a guy I passed in the stairway of 3001 asked if our cars were the ones that said "The City Morgue" on them. Yep. He then asked if I actually worked for the City Morgue. I told him it was a magazine we published, hahaha. Yeah, we lug bodies around the apt bldg!!

I am so there for that one! Maybe I can help sell the themed funerals that I am sure we will offer!

New Orleans style anyone? Medieval Norse funeral pyre? Small rocket ashes scattering?

Ellen, you are kidding right? I will never cat sit again if I have to walk in to your dark house with that hanging over your table.
