Burn
It's a crazy thing, but the last time I checked James Brown hasn't been buried yet. He lies in state in his house. Apparently there is a disconnect amongst the various Brown factions as to where he should be interred.
That's why I'm going to be burned. Like a Viking. My ashes sown in Wassaw Sound. Look: I'm at my ultimate beauty now, as pitiful as that may be. Age will only detract from that beauty, and death will most certainly diminish my better features. As Black Panther Huey Newton exhorted, Burn, Baby Burn!
So I would like my blogfriends to step up to the plate, and guarantee my immolation. At the very least my rotted skeleton won't therefore be clawing at your window late at night, after an interment gone awry.
Especially your bathroom window.
It's like insurance. Only I don't make you cough up every month.
That is all.
I'm all for cremation. I have made my wishes known.
Name me your executrix. I'll make sure you are toasted properly.

Just an FYI.

Posted by: Libby at January 12, 2007 10:45 PMDid you catch the tribute to Hunter S. Thompson last night? Hunter was obsessed with a pyrotechnic sendoff. He envisioned a tall tower on the back section of his property. The tower was topped by a fist with two thumbs. His ashes were to be encased in a barrel that was set to explode from the top of the tower. Johnny "Buggery on the High Seas" Depp mumbled something about being the only one to pull that off. I have no idea if he actually accomplished that feat after the death of Dr. Gonzo.
I suggest that you should be professionally cremated. Then the calcified remains of your carcass should be twisted into an enormous "Spliff" using the wrapper from the "Big Bamboo" album by Cheech Marin and Thomas Chong.
Cheers!

I love the smell of napalm and crackling human fat in the morning.
I love the smell of napalm and crackling human fat and burning whiskey in the morning.
I love the smell of napalm and crackling human fat and burning whiskey in the morning. Not too crazy about the Piss-Steam, though.
Posted by: Elisson at January 13, 2007 8:46 AMTook care of my 'arrangements' about two years ago... $700 to the National Cremation Society.
Posted by: Jean at January 13, 2007 9:11 AMHunter was fired from the cannon as requested. Johnny Depp paid for it all, including the security needed to keep it from becoming a public event. I believe the cannon lies where it was that day, a monument to the good doctor.
Veloc--Viking Funeral is great, you should demand it. I'll come and strike a match. Hopefully many, many years from now.
We could practice at the snake roundup in Claxton...

Posted by: Eric at January 13, 2007 6:19 PMA visit from Vman from beyond the grave?
Would that you be a Zombie?
or just a dissatisfied Ghost?
I'll bring some homemade fireworks...
Posted by: holder at January 13, 2007 8:46 PMCrap. Did I miss something HST related? Am reading Steadman's book right now.
I'm really conflicted. I do want the burning, but the family plot is in Bonaventure and I'd hate to miss an opportunity to use up a space.
