Now that's a funeral. I like the High School Marching band and the drum corp on wagons.
Such a strange cultural practice. When I see things like that it makes me suspect those foreigners just might be putting us on. Maybe trying to get a reality TV show.

You never know with those inscrutable little yellow beggars.
I mean, some Western funeral customs such as Irish wakes can get celebratory, and maybe a tad inappropriate. But strippers? I wonder if that custom will now spread from China to Las Vegas?
Speaking of the Irish and funerals, make sure you read all of it.

Wow. I did not know about those Irish rituals. You don't want to be the last one buried in a cemetery, do you? "May you be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead."
Over the wall you go!
Skep, you be careful, I hear that the radical christian group... the Episcopalians are on a rampage in Baltimore.
James: That's good advise. I keep a very large distance away from Baltimore even during normal times. Where my Glock is not welcome, I'm not welcome, is how I figure.
