I've just received a sympathy card.
From the staff of Literacy Kansas City.
Apparently, I'm dead.
Sorry, folks. This will put a bit of a kink in the St. Pat's plans.
Unless, of course, insurance money arrives next week.

1. So we can't party with a dead guy?
Do we have to say the rosary?

2. Didn't they make a movie about that?
It's far too late for rosaries.

3. What's weird is my sister's boyfriend died
and no one is sending out sympathy cards. He was a pretty miserable excuse for a human being. He spent most of his adult life in and out of prison and somehow he hooked up with my sister and then got her hooked on meth. Now that's an evil bastard and not in a good way.

Oh yeah and dibs on your computer!

4. My computer is haunted now.
But it's nice to know that someone will send a card.
I'm going to write back and thank them.

I know a part-time exorcist that might be able to help out.

11. Now that would be interesting
If you were a screensaver I could resize you and/or make multiple copies of you and pass you around to everyone I know to with as they please.

13. I have a much more plausible idea why you're nose is running
It's actually foam from your beer that's gotten caught in your moustache. I've seen it happen before. :P

5. So does that mean you are not the real evlbstrd?
But only an evlbstrd lookalike hired to impersonate him after he died? Like they did with Paul McCartney?

6. There is only one evlbstrd.
I'm not typing from beyond the grave. I haven't seen proof of one yet. But, I'm definitely typing. And if I'm dead and I'm typing, I think we can safely conclude that I'm typing while dead. However, If I'm not dead, why am I even typing about it?

I was afraid I'd have to buy this in vinyl and play it backwards to hear "I buried Evl"...

9. Do it anyway.
Edited on Sat Mar-10-07 07:31 PM by evlbstrd
There has to be some kind of deep hidden message in the backwards yodelling of Slim Whitman.
I'm not sure I'd want to hear it, though.

He played here back in the seventies. I wanted to go and shout "Stairway to Heaven!"

19. Why are you opening mail that isn't addressed to you?
Hmmmm! What if, instead of a sympathy card, it had been a surprise birthday announcement? You'd be feeling kinda bad about spoiling that, wouldn't you?

BTW, any idea what killed you?

20. That would have been a real surprise.
My birthday is/was at the end of May.
I don't know what killed me. I figure I wasn't shot or stabbed because the beer still leaks out the way it used to.

21. That don't make no sense. No sense 'tall.
Maybe you can 'splain sumding to me. Maybe not. :shrug:

Let's say I shot you in the leg and you bled to death. Why would beer come out of your leg? Does your digestive system route itself throughout your body? Just sign me:

23. Actually no
When the movie was released I was living with a pretentious idiot who didn't believe in going to movies unless they had subtitles. The few times I actually went to a movie without him I got these lectures of how pedestrian my humor was. He was a real piece of work. :eyes: Believe it or not, I lived with him for almost four years. It probably would have been reduced to two years if I hadn't been working 30 hours at one job, a couple of part-time jobs and going to school full-time. It was only when I was able to spend "quality time" with him that I realized how much I loathed him. Anyway, I have about a four year hole in my popular culture knowledge. "Beetlejuice" is part of that "missing time". It's weird, it's like I was in a time warp for four years.

That's what the Navy was like for me. There were hippies when I went in and punks when I got out.
You'd love "Beetlejuice."

At least it's not a Hallmark card. (In case you all didn't know the Halls are BIG repuke donors)




And evl's family is taking this very hard

33. That happened *after* your wake
Edited on Tue Mar-20-07 02:50 PM by Mabus
Unfortunately it was not because of your demise. Instead it had to do more with being trapped in a car for close to an hour with someone who had loaded up on corned beef and cabbage at your house. I believe he was calling Danny back to the glen. By the time I got home I was ready to jump into your grave with you.
