Now that's one way to put the fun back in the funeral :)
I love it! And I am inspired. I will ask that I be contorted into an M shape so other people can stand next to me and make Y & C A hand shapes at my casket!
That's hilarious. they look like they are having fun.
I'm glad they can enjoy themselves. A funeral is supposed to be a celebration of someone's life... It's good to see people able to laugh.
Looks like he was a war veteran too... Thank you for your service sir!
Being a huge OSU fan, I LOVE IT!!! *saving* GO BUCKS!
I'm trying to figure out how, when the time comes, to work my Dad into one of the shapes in USMC, ooorah! He retired after 32 years, and I think it would be a fitting tribute. (I'd only do something like that after he was dead, and even then he'd probably find a way to kill me. Marines are that way...)
That's hillarious!
The old guy probably would have been laughing with them.
Whats an ovto?
To make an "H", Blue Dress Granny would have had to spread her legs... Which would have been inappropriate, because, you know, they're in a church or chapel. Even tacky people have standards. (Assuming this is for real.)
I would walk the heck out if they pulled this at a funeral I attended. A few charming anecdotes with discreet chuckling is one thing... Acting like twits is another. The person is DEAD. You will NEVER see, hear, or touch him again, assuming you LIKED him. He, moreover, can no longer hear, see or touch YOU, let alone appreciate your getting some yucks out of posing with his CORPSE.
I go to funerals to pay respects for someone whose loss I grieve, NOT to be AMUSED.
They couldve at leat put a construction helmet or feathered headdress on him for crissakes.
Something tells me that the deceased probably asked them to do this, maybe it was even in his will. :) I dont think Pastor Mike . . . or whatever his name really is . . . would have participated otherwise, He should have pulled on an OSU sweatshirt over his clerical garb, but maybe he didnt have one handy in his size.Quote:

Here is his online obituary.

He seems like a really great guy. RIP Mr. Miracle. Beat Michigan.
LOL!Quote:

I talked to my Dad about this yesterday, and he actually thought it was pretty great. His solution was to get a few more people involved and go ahead and spell out "Marine" and just make him the "I" as this family did. Not sure how to do the "R"...Quote:

I guess I could still dot the I even in an urn.

no, but when I die, that will be on my ta-do list.Quote:

Well, that was my Uncle Joe for you!!! He was a great leg-puller when he was alive, and he figured that he was going to get a laugh when he went. He specifically told my cousin to put that button on for him... it was great because it was a fairly good-sized button, black with neon green letters!Quote:

Jim Tressel ruined that football program. Michigan will start whipping tale again.
That was fun to watch! And I pass on your suggestion about Semper Fi, he'll love it!Quote:
