Death Can't Touch Us

A faithful reader points out that today's edition of the Update does not have a single funeral announcement in it. How are we supposed to begin our day without that little pick-me-up? And anyone remember when the Update used to print who had been admitted to the local hospital?

Oh yes, I do. And babies that were born as well. My mom has been at the messenger for over 20 years so needless to say I have been reading the Messenger and Update for MANY years.

I don't think most people would think a person's obit is a pick-me-up, Barry.

I used to read the "Hospital Report" on KWCS brought to you by Hawkins Funeral Home.

I always thought that was a bit odd.

12:45PM - I used to do the same on KJRT (KBAN for all you original Wise and Montague County folks), except it was sponsored by Owens & Brumley........it was weird, but funny at the same time..........and sad when the families would call in, expecting us to change some stuff we were given by the funeral home, which would end up taking 4 or 5 minutes of air-time extolling the virtues of the now-dead family member, and we would have to politely decline......shiate. Me? I would take down their every word, say blah blah and yada, but when we read the obit on air, it was back to the old original limit the station imposed. I did get a few biatchers here and there. Oh well.

3:02PM - I need to meet you up with a friend of mine from New Mexico who feels the same. He's a world-renowned rolfer, and his wife is a weaver. They live in an adobe house, and their 5 year old child is a certified wacko. I told them they should move away from all that radioactive shiate, and come stay with us here in Montague County as that day nears, but he said they like the scenery. Oh well, I tried.

Bbbbbwwwwaaaahhhhhh!

When you're dead, you're dead. I wish you Christian freaks could just get over that. I welcome the day I will experience ever-lasting slumber...........I won't even wake up if and when your Rapture occurs.

No funerals! Those Hawkins are probably out doing something evil; like hunting, fishing or golfing. Not to worry though, we should find out in the next edition of the Index!

4:57 It sounds like there is no need for you to wake up...sweet nightmares and enjoy your cozy and hot slumber!
