My feeling on this whole thing...
"I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
-Mark Twain
I'm quite sure i could not have said it better.


I prefer this one:

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that"

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Note to self: Do not shoot revolver in or at cop car.

If it was anyone of us who shot a revolver in a squad car, this story would be in the obituaries.

You know, there are a few unfortunate, untimely ways I'd be willing to accept as the end to my existence. Plane crash, auto crash, things of that nature. I mean, no one WANTS to go, but I wouldn't be embarassed to have them on my obituary.

Being crushed by someone's stupidity, however, would be considered unacceptable.

I think I have found my Ultima Verba. My 'epitaph', if you will.

If I'm hit by a car tomorrow, laying in the road dying, I hope that I have 5 seconds left to look the world straight in the eyes and yell,
"FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU".

Please make certain my obituary explicitly details those last words.

I'm convinced the people who are still convinced Obama isn't a natural citizen are equivalent to Flat Earthers.


When the “Earth is Flat and Only 6000 Years Old” crowd blathers on, what they demonstrate is how badly they don’t understand basic science. The Birfers however show they have a real hard time with telling the truth. Every bit of their “evidence” has shown to be a lie. The birth certificate provided is not a forgery as they maintain, no African relatives made a claim that Obama was born in Kenya, his college has not released documents showing he got a scholarship for foreigners, there never was a travel ban for Americans going to Pakistan at the time Obama visited that country. Obama has not spent million of dollars defending his case. The reason why every time they go to court their cases are tossed out is the same reason why the Creationists cant get published in a legit scientific journal. They have no proof.

BTW - Anyone that has ever placed an obituary, birth or wedding announcement in a paper knows that you simply cant call up the local paper and give them the announcement. The papers have to verify it with the vital statistic people.
The Birfers are nothing more than sore losers. They see that the rest of America is rejecting them, their leaders and their values, and its driving them crazy. So crazy in fact that they will believe any lie that is told to them, as long as it satisfies their self induced victim mentality.

the next host to inteview him is gonna end up in the obituary

It appears the Paul Kelly Tripplehorn, Jr. (the President of i53, and the speaker in this video clip) passed away yesterday.

The obituary was linked from a post on his website here (http://www.legacy.com/DFW/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=120813856).

His life was apparently turned upside down after he made news in 2003 for an email scandal that played out while he was interning at a Senator's office in DC.

i53network is a Christian Broadcasting Network, and I want him to stop using the advances of Science to bash science.
Mr Tripplehorn is Not very nice"/a>"


Slight correction: He WASN'T very nice http://www.legacy.com/DFW/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=120813856

I would humbly bow before the King, but I don't want to know what you'd try to put in my mouth, so I'll just say congratulations, and thanks for all the fish.

Also, fantastic job done by DFT on the poetry. I have a sense it was made in advance, much like obituaries. Do you also have one that says, "We come here today to mourn the loss of KP when he had 999 star points."?

Oh, and KP...YOU'RE WELCOME!

I want my funeral here and you guys to write my obituary. I'll let you know if I die.


That doesnt compute... something is out of order in the universe here.

I want my funeral here and you guys to write my obituary. I'll let you know if I die.

^I'm contemplating writing you an obituary that incorporates just that... would be awesome. Sad thing about obituaries is that you'd probably be dead, so you can't enjoy it! I want a George Carlin-esque obit, myself:

"Today a man was found hanging in his garage. His suicide note said the following: 'Hello. If you're reading this, I'm out in the garage. I'm the dead body hanging from the rafter. You people drove me to this. Fuck you. You'll notice all your favorite things are lying directly beneath my body and that I'm not wearing pants. You'll no doubt notice the very empty pot of beans in the kitchen too... happy spring cleaning."

That would be a grand legacy.
