It certainly is an environmentally friendly way to go.

As MAD Magazine classically put it, in their spoof:
The Birds is coming!
"...and good grammar in advertising has went..."

Ummm..... If we're gonna start doing this, we need to have a designated corpse beach because if I'm out there to catch some rays and maybe toss a frisbee around, I don't want to be tripping over dead folks.....

"I'd like to be done up to the nines in a huge flowery chiffon dress"
She's got quite a wardrobe. Might be hard to choose.
Think this was an inspiration?

Siouxie, Rrrrrolandooo got called away

Damn, Constantine, that's where I saw her before! That was one weird flick (and another great satire from MAD...)

Best of all, according to the ad this will get you in on "the mortgage industries best cruise," also featuring nightly spelling and grammar sessions.

I keep telling Mr. gjd that I want to be turned into mulch and put in the garden. They're doing this in Sweden (I think). IANMTU.
Posted by: gjd | April 14, 2008 at 05:08 PM
Won't the birds choke on the chiffon? That's not very nice...
Posted by: gjd | April 14, 2008 at 05:09 PM
it's not that big a shock, really. It's Tilda Swinton,
a man a womanan actor not known for being normalAlthough Tilda's acting is good, from what I've seen

HeShe was great in "Michael Clayton". Great flick.Posted by: Doc Rick | April 14, 2008 at 05:25 PM

I get home from an hour's drive ... and ... the ... the caption ... contest is .... c..c..c..closed?? As in no more award-winning comments? This can't be .... I've got the winner, but I can't post it. How? Why? The economy is already tanked ..... Where is the justice? Where is the outrage?!

Where is the Scotch?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 14, 2008 at 05:38 PM
I love Tilda. She has a child with a man twice her age, but she travels with her 30 year old boyfriend. Who says it's just European men who do this?
This is better than the founder of PETA. She was on The Colbert Report, and said that she wanted to be cooked and served to people to show why they shouldn't eat meat. WTFBBQ?
Posted by: Merri Lee | April 14, 2008 at 05:42 PM
*SMACKS* Meanie with the Scotch™!*
Get a GRIP!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 14, 2008 at 05:45 PM
Merri, I've read that she's got a pretty open marriage. She still looks like a HE.
Posted by: Siouxie | April 14, 2008 at 05:50 PM
*awards Meanie the Obvious Winner bottle of Ass (TM) Cola, as clearly Meanie knows bullcr@p and posing* :]
Merri, the difference between Tilda and PETAns is that sane people could not care less what they did, whereas they assume we give a cr@p what they think about us. I would be happy to use either as crab bait, should they not object.

I come within a hair's breadth of winning a stuffed wienermobile last time, and now I'm holding the indisputable winning caption with no place to post it - and you want me to get a grip? A GRIP??
[don't ask me - that's what came up when I googled for a "grip" image!]
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 14, 2008 at 05:58 PM
ooook! Interesting photo.
You got two "Honorable Mentions" !!! sheesh.
Posted by: Siouxie | April 14, 2008 at 06:03 PM
MtB: regarding the 2nd "grip" link; now THERE'S a caption contest photo!

Poor Meanie wants that German book soooo bad. Sometimes there is nothing funny about humor.

qnsb: An actress whose ultimate goal is to become bird chow.
Posted by: Lairbo | April 14, 2008 at 06:32 PM
Her will also stipulates that if Scottish law at the time of her death prohibits leaving human corpses out as bird feed, that they line her coffin with newspaper.
Posted by: Lairbo | April 14, 2008 at 06:37 PM
qb: Tilda Swinton is famous for playing creepy characters and/or engaging is disturbing sex scenes. *shudder*
Posted by: Merri Lee | April 14, 2008 at 06:43 PM

This is almost the actual way Zorastrians (Parsi in India) deal with their departed.
