I think so too, but make sure you also request stories from wakes, sitting shiva, and any post-funereal gatherings. THAT’s usually wherein the fun lies. Although I always enjoy a good eulogy-gone-bad story.

Make it an ensemble comedy, like “Bridesmaids.” That way you could include the woman on RHONY (“Martini Train”) who has never appeared on the show sober. Or maybe she could be a wacky neighbor or coworker.

I am not Jewish and one of the things I admire about Judaism is that Jews don’t proselytize. I have lots of Jewish friends and a couple of friends who converted to Judaism to marry their spouses. Never have I been asked to convert to Judaism and my convert friends made it sound like getting into Harvard Law School…

One million prostitutes (I take it this includes prostituted children, a useful term I just learned upthread) in a country with only 67 milion people? That’s an amazing statistic. I don’t think America’s tech industry, unless very loosely defined, employs as many people as a percentage of the population, and that’s…

Are they still making new Law & Order SVU episodes? The whole franchise’s back catalog must be vast. You can’t escape L&O while flipping around your cable dial and I always watch when I stumble across one and I swear I’ve never seen a rerun.

Oh my God, from those images I realize I had a college roommate who was Kermit the Frog in disguise!

Was there anything after the funeral, maybe a lunch at least, where everyone (or at least you) could go get good and drunk?

Ivana Trump is still alive. I wonder how much she got paid to just completely disappear and never breathe a word about The Donald. The settlement probably caused at least one of his many bankruptcies.

Maybe there will be a Pissing Contest devoted to strange/awkward/horrible funeral stories.

A therapy horse! How did they do it? Was the horse in a courtyard or something? How excellent.

And did you ever see the episode of Law&Order SVU she appeared on? It was a straight role and she was amazing on it.

Did you see the one where a woman had like conjoined breasts or something? SHE got operated on, because it was some strange malformity.

I don’t understand what has happened over at Gawker. I have read the site from the beginning, a dozen years ago, and the comments were the best part. I still remember some of the original commenters. But in the last, say, two or three years it’s been overloaded with all these pointlessly nasty commenters who get…

Oh, Barb did better than that. I might be mangling this but she visited a “refugee camp” in Texas, I think, and was supposed to have said something like, “Well, I think they’ve done pretty well for themselves,” meaning “They got a free ride out of that hellhole that was always New Orleans and look, here they are now…

It looks awfully watery. I’m guessing draft Bud Light (shudder).

If I predecease my husband (odds are pretty good that I will, since I live like a borderline alcoholic college sophomore and he lives like an especially health-conscious Mormon) I plan to haunt him, but in a much more insidious way. He could live without me, I’m sure, but he couldn’t live without a dog. So I’m going…

She’s tied with staunch defender of family values Rush Limbaugh, who’s been divorced three times. His second wife was a college student.

I like the old Batman TV series series where Commissioner Gordon could not tell that Batgirl was his own daughter. (RIP Yvonne Craig.)

In Italian the words are even closer, anno and ano, and the difference in pronunciation is extremely subtle…

There are apartments in that Rent Is Too Damn High guy’s Greenwich Village neighborhood that rent for two and three times that amount. New York is insane.
