I was playing my domain-name game tonight, which consists of plugging in various names.com, just to see what comes up. I hit gold on my first try when I visited nork.com.

At first I was just browsing through some mundane pictures, until I noticed one of the topic headings labeled Grandma's Passing. I wondered if that could be what I assumed it was so I took a look.

Sure enough, it was. Which prompted some questions, due to the fact that I've never been to a funeral.

1) Is it normal for people to be so happy? There's a hell of a lot more smiling going on than I would have imagined.

2) Is it normal for a person to take this many pictures at a funeral?

3) Is it normal to take a photo of your dead grandmother and then post it on your website?

All things considered, think of your "virginity" as a good thing. Then again, there's that old saying, if you don't go to other people's funerals, they won't come to yours. That said ...

1) In many cultures, the funeral becomes a true celebration of the life of the departed. Exchanging fond memories can't help to bring up smiles among the grieving.

2) I don't think so, but ...

3) You can find most anything on the Internet. I think it's safe to say that if photos of dead relatives didn't exist on-line, man would have to invent it.

I used to say I wanted to have a tap run through me forehead and have my chest cavity hollowed out to hold lunchmeat. Having my groin removed to make room for caviar was optional depending on cost.

Now I think I would rather be taken to a mountaintop, chopped to bits with machetes and left for vultures.

My father was fairly boring. We burned him - no one got to watch. Then we stood around the pot he was in and drank a bit and ate a lot telling stories about his life. That works too.

No pictures. Lots of smiles. You should pick someone, wait for them to die, and go sometime.

You see, it's wine I like. Beer is one of those aquired taste things, and like most aquired tastes, I have no idea why anyone would want to aquire it.

I remember parties at my house when I was a nipper in short pants. I would convince my weaving father to let me have a taste of his beer. His friends saw him give me some so they felt open to let me have some of theirs. With 20 people at a party I was looped before things really got started - which was probably his plan in the first place.

I don't remember ever not liking beer.

Maybe grandma was a 24 karat cunt. b): No. c): Hell no.

I never acquired a whole lotta tastes, and since I am now in my late twenties I am unlikely to ever acquire most of them. Among these are beer (yes, an Aussie who doesn't like beer) and wine. I am generally a spirits man, mixed to start the night, then straight when I am well on the way to being shitfaced. I also quite like Strongbow alcoholic cider...

My number one hard drink these days is the good old bourbon-and-cola, with an expensive twist. Two New-Years' ago my housemate and I went halves in a bottle of Jim Beam Black Label. I came to discover that this is, indeed, God's bourbon, and now my palette has been soured to anything less. Whenever I feel like grabbing a bottle of bourbon, I have to lay down about $au45... actually, probably more since our dollar now has the approximate value of a handful of goat turds.

I've been drinking Jack Daniel's, neat with Coke on the side for about 23 years. I know what you mean. You find what you like and that's pretty much what you like. I can't stomach beer, but a good pint of Guinness or bitter is nice in the winter. American beer.... Only if the water works burns down.
