I don\'t want a funeral anyhow (what kind of a dick move is it to accrue that kind of expense as my last act when my heirs could use that cash towards something actually functional?), but if I did, I damn sure wouldn\'t want one that caused my guests to die of sympathetic embarrassment.
I would have no problem setting aside $1,000 or so for a smallish and low-key get together; enough for food and an open-bar so people could share stories and such,
Note that this isn\'t a funeral, though, that\'s a wake, and I\'m fully in favor of those. I want my people to gather, fire up the Xboxen, and (figuratively; otherwise it\'s a waste) pour one out in my honor.
If you\'re not going to be cremated, every funeral has at least a touch of CrossWits. Six down and three across.
I wouldn\'t want a funeral with a \"Card Sharks\" theme....Might be awkward if they have to go to \"Sudden Death\"....
My brother called me and told me to turn to tlc to see this (which I don\'t have, got rid of cable for netflix/hulu plus in the last move) and described the details of this..fiasco. My response?
\"I hate our fandom sometimes\"
No...I\'m perfectly okay with what some people call a \"celebration of life\". Once I start my family (Good Lord willin\'), I will make that clear that that is what I prefer.
I\'m not okay with them playing Sale of the Century for my personal belongings.
/You can have Brandon\'s Kindle Fire, originally priced at $200
//For the low, low price of $12!!!

But think of how nicely any disagreements would segue into Family Feud.
Now, now....no fighting at the celebration. Someone can have the Kindle if The Price is Right...
/Starting to feel uncomfortable here
//Praying the Kindle is about 60 years past its prime when all this goes down
///Then they can try and sell it to one of those History Channel \"antiques\" shows

\"Get a thousand dollars or more and you win the game, but if the Devil comes up, it\'s all over and you lose everything.\"
\"Ladies and Gentleman, prior to his death, Brandon Foster-Gray placed his life savings into one of these sixty-six surprise packages. Today, someone may win one of Brandon\'s fabulous belongings, or the grand prize of his life savings on...a very special edition of Treasure Hunt!\"

I\'d do a \"Let\'s Make a Deal\" funeral for myself, but I don\'t think anybody would want what\'s in the box.
Some participants may receive some lovely \"parting\" gifts...

No more calls, please. We have a winner.
Seconded. I did a spit take on this one.
No, if I can\'t play what\'s the point?
The only other thing I found was a clip from the trailer on TLC's site. It's literally two seconds long and not worth linking to.To you, anyway. :)
