tell ya what, when i die? no burial for me, just call the taxidermist

maybe i could have disney do an animatronics job on me and i could step out of my own coffin at my funeral and do a sassy little lip synch number to "slave to the rhythm", then after doing a few final shimmy/jazz hand combos, lay my dead robot ass back down to my eternal slumber.

I think you'd have to rock this routine:

i do that every morning when i wake up as it is, so my body would already be pre-programmed for it!

Anxiety said:

with the jazz hands/shimmy shakes AND the chicken wings?!

someone once responded to that clip by saying "it's like they're pantomiming my entire sexual history by way of interpretive dance!"

OMG! That is brilliant. Was it John Waters? When does the chicken come into the picture?

Dead man stands throughout 3-day wake
Family fulfills Puerto Rican's wish by propping up his body in living room
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26290833/

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A Puerto Rican man has been granted his wish to remain standing — even in death.


A funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the corpse of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina standing upright for his three-day wake.

Dressed in a Yankees baseball cap and sunglasses, Pantoja was mourned by relatives while propped upright in his mother's living room.

His brother Carlos told the El Nuevo Dia newspaper the victim had long said he wanted to be upright for his own wake: "He wanted to be happy, standing."

The owner of the Marin Funeral Home, Damaris Marin, told The Associated Press the mother asked him to fulfill her dead son's last wish.

Pantoja was found dead Friday underneath a bridge in San Juan and buried Monday. Police are investigating.

i wonder what would happen if someone he couldn't stand showed up?

Is it me or does his arm looked detached and maybe just hanging there because of his shirt?

wouldn't it be something if one of the family members snuck downstairs at night and shifted dude around so in the morning he was standing in the kitchen with a cuppa coffee and a ham sandwich?

applekisses said:

no, it was a friend of mine i showed it to. but honestly, if that dance could be translated into words, i'd want those words on my headstone.

That looks crazy as hell. I understand that they love their relative, but man. I think in the old days before funerals that people use to keep their dead in their houses. I'm not sure though. I vaguely remember seeing it in a documentery.
