May He Rest in Yeast

This 67-year-old Chicago man is planning for the future - with the end in mind. He's survived five whopping heart attacks and has come to terms with passing away someday, but not before getting his custom made Pabst Blue Ribbon beer can inspired casket completed in time for his departure. If the dude's life "revolves" around his fave beer, then why can't his afterlife? The obsession may sound absurd and sick, but where there's a beer - there's a way. See the "end" result below.

"I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me. I said to her, ‘You have a drink on you? You have a car?’ She said, 'Daddy, it's me - Tatum!' I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it's my daughter. It's so sick."

"Ladies' man" Ryan O'Neal admits in a cover story for September's Vanity Fair that he mistakenly hit on his own daughter, Tatum O'Neal, at Farrah Fawcett's funeral. Vanity Fair is releasing two different covers for September - one featuring Farrah Fawcett and another for Michael Jackson.

Family: Uninvited Guest Wildly Disrupts Funeral

I keep searching for signs in Nicole Leonard's face that she's batshit insane, but she looks perfectly normal to me. Make no mistake, though, this one's a nutter. She recently showed up at the funeral of a stranger, began dancing, waved a wand around the casket of the deceased, opened up the casket (!), touched his face with it, and then topped it all off by throwing flowers at the stunned mourners. Yo Nicole! Time for some heavy-duty meds! Click here to read more about the funeral crasher.

Kid Rock and National Guard Playing in a Theater Near You

The National Guard has taken its recruitment marketing to a new venue: movie theaters. Music videos featuring real National Guard members and celebrities like Kid Rock, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Three Doors Down, are playing in lieu of movie trailers. The tributes to the men and women serving in the National Guard paint an alluring picture of what that service entails. Oscar winning director James Mangold directed the campaign that will air in movie theaters throughout September and October.

In "Warrior," dramatic images of soldiers leaving for war, Middle Eastern children, and Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s National Guard-clad race car mix in while Kid Rock sings:

So don’t tell me who’s wrong or right when liberty starts slipping away
And if you ain’t gonna fight, get out of the way
‘Cause freedom ain’t so free when you breathe red, white, and blue
I’m giving all of myself, how about you?

Do you find the video to be propaganda, or an honorable effort to help Americans take pride in serving their country? If the government wants to play rock-star videos about joining up, should Americans also be able to see embargoed images of caskets coming back from war?

I think my aunt killed my uncle.

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 23:00:07 -0800

OK, I know these are serious allegations and all but a lot of people think this too. A couple of weeks ago my uncle died suddenly in his sleep, this poor guy had ALWAYS been mistreated by his entire family. He used to be an alcoholic, but I actually can't blame him because living with any one from my fathers side of the family is hell on earth. My uncle's family in our country never cared much for him either, his kids had no love or respect for him (even though he always provided for them and always lived with them) and my aunt used to beat him constantly.
One winter he was really drunk and my aunt kicked him to the back yard and beat him senseless then proceeded to wet him with buckets of water and left him laying on the ground struggling to get up and tumbling all over the place. If it weren't for my grandma and father coming out to take care of him I would bet the poor guy would still be laying there, I couldn't do anything, I was maybe 12 or 13. I remember him sleeping out in one of my dad's cars after struggling into some dry clothes my grandma gave him. He was always lonely and depressed, I felt for him.
My aunt would also empty out his liquor bottles and pee in them or put toilet water in them, he would come home so drunk he couldn't tell the difference. His son always called him piece of sh*t as if that were his name, when ever he talked to him or referred to him that's what he would call him. His two daughters would do the same and just pushed him around.
When we got word that he died my mother went to see them and my aunt told them that she would always go to check up on him and for some reason that night she didn't go in his room. She was putting on a HUGE act and crying and yelling and just acting like she was out of breath. One of her sisters asked her why she was putting on such a huge show if she didn't care for him when he was here, I'm not sure what she said then.
They refused an autopsy and just moved on to his wake and burial, she said she knew the liquor had killed him, I would have thought the same thing had I not known how badly he was treated, then a few days later one of her other sisters found out that she had taken out a life insurance on him and was on the verge of collecting.
I don't believe her fake tears or his kids, on his funeral day his son started screaming and asking why they were closing his casket if he was just sleeping and putting on an HBO worthy act, everyone kept looking at them like they should just stop this circus performance and let the man go in dignity, everyone knows they didn't love him or have any sort of value for him or his life. It was ridiculous and enraging to see that after all they had already done to him.
I never went to any of the events, first because I hate my dad's family, second because...I don't mean to sound cynical but I honestly think that dying was the best thing to happen to this guy and that now he's in a better place. third, because I would have laughed in her face or said something that would cause an uproar and out of respect for my mom I decided that it would be best for me to stay away. Myself and others think that she put on such a crazy act so that no one would question her reason to decline an autopsy and think about the broken widow she was, but we know better. We think that she might have been poisoning him or something, when they found him he had been foaming at the mouth, I don't know. I don't know what to do and writing about it makes it a little better, I know I can't go to the cops cause I have no evidence and I can't just show up on a feeling, everyone who saw these things happen would never tell on her even if she did do it cause they are her immediate family and besides all the beatings and mistreatment I don't remember her threatening to kill him and all though I know these things from my cousins I have been away from them way TOO LONG to have any weight on my thought or word, I haven't had any contact with them for many years now and I seriously despise them for the way they always mistreat people including me and my mom. I just hope that if she really did something to him that she will pay for her actions.
