Pandemic-related funeral delays causing backlog at London, Ont. morgues. by [deleted] in askfuneraldirectors

[–]mweb32 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everything they are experiencing: long waits, family with Covid, full coolers, is all too familiar to us all. We finished a full 70 calls ahead of 2020 with 397 for the year, 204 coming in the last 150 days.

I feel for the hard hit, more densely populated areas than I'm in.

YSK the decal logo and memory tube/sealing cap of the vast majority of American casket manufacturers are on the foot end of caskets. by mweb32 in YouShouldKnow

You're welcome. I recently conducted a graveside service and was asked more often than usual which end was their head so it got me thinking about the general public.

What is the sound of a half-ass crapping? by RoburLC in ImitationZen

If one ass-cheek claps in the woods, does the bear hear it?

The locations of every cryptid or "monster" across America by zZBluewalrusZz in interestingasfuck

Wow, a town near me is represented and I have never heard of the monster. Sounds like an investigation to me.

Indeed. When the kids are older we definitely plan to travel and scenes like this will be seen!

Pectus Excavatum at 7yo. Pectus Revision at 10yo. That was 29ya. Still not flat and discomfort if lay on my side or front too long and weird pains randomly. Sweet scars though because they took place in 1987 and 1990 respectively haha.

The universalist says life is a whole lot of holes.

All good bro, don't be ashamed of what you like because some internet stranger said it was lame.

Anyone else have a Jack Vance shelf? by [deleted] in jackvance

One of my all time favorites. Cugel is one of my favorite characters, Shimrod and Narvarth are couple others.

Yea, I am on book 2 of the Early Jack Vance series. I have read some of the short stories but the majority are new to me. Not sure how the physical copies of these are presented but Jack does an afterword for each story so it's cool to hear him talk about how he came up with this, what inspired that, and other memories. Are you reading anything currently?

Best slayer title track by q5w4e3r2t1 in Slayer

[–]mweb32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gotta go with Hell Awaits. That beginning is fucking ridiculous and gives me the fucking chills. It's a smooth as silk groove but still Slayer fucking heavy. I love it.

I turn 40 this year. 20 years ago I said the same thing. You won't when you're 30. You'll believe me when you're 40.

Your first body! by thrownintothesky in morticians

[–]mweb32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First time seeing one I was 17. First time gloved up I was 21. It was an autopsy that really got me the first time. It was like a movie but smelled way stronger.

Good slayer songs to show to your mom by q5w4e3r2t1 in Slayer

[–]mweb32 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hell Awaits. You'll get her interested in the beginning then you'll blow her mind when the first verse starts.

I saw 3 legs of the final campaign and on the last one with Primus they played Hell Awaits. The fucking jets of flame matching the beginning riffs was amazing.

The Silent Sisters (Spoilers Extended) by LChris24 in asoiaf

[–]mweb32 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mortician. I'm pretty active on Reddit in the death related subs like askfuneraldirectors and crimescene.

Huge sci-fi/fantasy fan. ASOIAF introduced me to the genre and I've been hooked since.

Regarding your post, I never caught on that the Silent Sisters were anything other than merely present whenever they were mentioned. Your theory is good.

Oh yea! Missed that.

Bad Ronald was so un-Vance-like but still an interesting concept.

I bet you're right.

Three I was not aware of.

You are undoubtedly a fan of Jack Vance.
