grandfather

My girlfriend's grandmother's

Why all the Death Threads?





have you met Murderdoll?:D

I think it's his way of flirting with her...:p


It probably works, too

I haven't been to one...I think I'd decline if I was asked to any aside from immediate family, I'm not comfortable with the whole deal...

I officiated a memorial service for my friend Carrie when she died 5 years ago. I became an internet-ordained reverend several years back in order to marry some friends and have performed several weddings now (two more coming up this spring) but I wasn't prepared Carrie's family to ask me to perform the ceremony. How could I refuse a request like that.

Hard gig. Tough crowd.

2005 really sucked for me. I had to be a pall bearer at not only my grandma's funeral, but also an aunt that died in her early 50s too. If people think attending funerals is a downer, try carrying a wooden a box containing your dead loved one around for an hour & riding in a limo right behind the hearse with whoever happens to be grieving the most for them. It makes merely attending funerals feel like a day at the beach.

My aunts and before that my fathers.

Haven't done that yet, thank god. But performing the ceremony was no fun either. Carrie was a comedian and I was instructed to "keep it fun and funny."

She also happened to be Carol Burnett's daughter.

So I'm on a stage in front of 600 people packed into a small Beverly Hills theater and I'm looking at Harvey Corman, Tim Conway, Carol Burnett - all in tears, and trying to keep it fun and funny.

We had a few laughs - Carrie would have loved it.

i was forced to the funeral, i told my mom im not even going to my own
