I don’t know why I’m so interested in this, but I’m OBSESSED with knowing how much it costs to ship a dead body on an airplane. I don’t know why. Just curious I guess! It’s really hard to find out online and obviously, I’m not going to call a funeral home (who arranges these things) because how awkward is it to ask about something like that “just in case.” they would probably think I was some kind of famous murderer.
I’ve been doing some research and it turns out that you need to buy a big box, called an air tray to put the casket in when it goes on the airplane. I found a website that sells them and for reasons only they know, they also sell air tray themed t-shirts and mousepads! I don’t know who else besides me would want something like this. Instead of posting the shirts online, they should have just called me up and asked for my credit card number. The regular design is pretty good, but the 25th aniversary one is amazing! A grim reaper! An airplane turning into a coffin! Ughh I need this for Hanukkah.
(I posted the mouse pads because you can see the images better. go to the website for more information)

I was on craigslist last night looking for a display case for a store (long story) but I actually came across an unbelievably awkward REAL post from some crazy lunatic. I would link to it, but craigslist posts expire, and I want this to be around FOREVER. The photo is taken from the image attached to the ad. Read it, and then just let your mind grapes bonk around for awhile trying to figure it out.

This is me in kindergarten, in a slammin’ cowgirl themed outfit that my mother allowed me to - no, encouraged me to - wear OUTSIDE THE HOUSE on a very regular basis like it wasn’t the ugliest outfit 1991 had ever seen. Um, so all the white stuff you see there is real live fringe that moved all over the place. I think the bottom is a skort, not a skirt. It’s hard to tell, what with my super ladylike pose.
So as you can see from the calendar, it is March of 1991. All photos should have a calendar in them; it makes it much easier to know when the photo was taken. I am half-remembering that in my class, we did birthday parties for each kid where their parents would come in and bring cupcakes or something and maybe tell all the five year olds about how a cesaerean section works or something. Since I had a July birthday when school wasn’t in session, they made me have my birthday day in march. The fuck? It’s hard to tell a five year old that they are going to pretend it’s their birthday but it’s really four months before their birthday and their parents are in on it but no you are not six years old…or something.

So, you know those T Mobile comercials for their MyTouch phones with the Cat Stevens song and whoopi goldberg? Well, have you noticed what’s on the screen of the phone whoopi is holding? An illustration of herself as a Dracula satire! So bizarre! You know that someone actually came up with this idea and then had some illustrator draw it out. AND THEN THEY USED IT IN THE FINAL CUT OF THE COMMERCIAL! augh!
