    Nothing really, I don't know them.

    No.

    No.

    Carry on with life and somehow get past the fact someone I never knew died?

    Boards is pretty big I probably know less than 20 users in real life!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    Well I guess I'd leave a message of sympathy in the thread announcing the death. More a formality than anything else.

    I wouldn't go to a funeral unless I knew them personally (and I'm fairly positive I don't know any of the Admins)

    What are you planning Jordan?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal

    Admins do not die.

    Mike.

    I thought it was an actuality too.

    Bit morbid tbh. Maybe expanding it to include Mods would make everyone feel included.

    No they are not. You might have missed that bit of the thread? But what if one did die?

    Say some poor Admin was lying there all dead and still in a coffin :(

    It is something alot of posters have to come to terms with?

    Make sure the safety word gets agreed upon beforehand next time.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 Jordon

    Ok I looked it up, it seems magicmarker was bewildered or confused about the thread and this cause Jordan to tell him to gtfo. Jordan, did you know what it meant?

    MagicMarker: It would be pointless to get you a coke because I don't even know where you live let alone know how to get there, I'de probably miss the last bus and even if I wasn't going to miss the last bus I wouldn'tjust bring you a can of coke coz you said so. You are crazy! Also, the shops around here are closed definately at this hour and it's really ****ty weather outside.

    If one of them dies.. They all die.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,082 ✭✭✭Captain Ginger


    Try to sell shady boards.ie t-shirts at the funural and make a quick buck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,867 ✭✭✭lorweld


    I'd send an e-mass card.

    I probably wouldn't attend the funeral cos I don't know any of them personally. But if people want to do somethings to lighten the mood at the funeral they could do some of the following:

    Tell the widow that the deceased's last wish was that she make love with you.

    Tell the undertaker that he can't close the coffin until you find your contact lens.

    Punch the body and tell people that he hit you first.

    Tell the widow that you're the deceased's gay lover.

    Ask someone to take a snapshot of you shaking hands with the deceased.

    At the cemetery, play taps on a kazoo.

    Walk around telling people that you've seen the will and they're not in it.

    Ask the widow to give you a kiss.

    Drive behind the widow's limo and keep honking your horn.

    Tell the undertaker that your dog just died and ask if he can sneak him into the coffin.

    Put a hard-boiled egg in the mouth of the deceased.

    Slip a whoopee cushion under the widow.

    Leave some phony dog poop on top of the deceased.

    Tell the widow that you have to leave early and ask if the will can be read before the funeral is over.

    Urge the widow to give the deceased's wooden leg to someone poor who can't afford firewood.

    Walk around telling people that the deceased didn't like them.

    Use the deceased's tongue to lick a stamp.

    Ask the widow for money which the deceased owes you.

    Take up a collection to pay off the deceased's gambling debts.

    Ask the widow if you can have the body to practice tatooing on.

    Put Crazy Glue on the deceased's lips just before the widow's last kiss.

    Show up at the funeral services in a clown suit.

    If the widow cries, blow a trumpet every time she wipes her nose.

    When no-one's looking, slip plastic vampire-teeth into the deceased's mouth.

    Toss a handful of cooked rice on the deceased and scream "MAGGOTS! MAGGOTS!" and pretend to faint.

    At the cemetery take bets on how long it takes a body to decompose.

    Get someone to call you on your cell phone during ceremony and pretend your talking to the deceased person.

    Goose the widow as she bends over to throw dirt on the coffin.

    Circulate a petition to have the body stuffed instead of buried.

    Tell everyone you're from the revenue and you're confiscating the coffin for back-taxes.

    Promise the priest a hundred euros if he doesn't keep a straight face while praising the deceased.

    I'd do nothing, because I don't know them. I know about 5/6 people on this.

    Oh I think if you are around here long enough (or maybe that should read - be allowed here long enough) you will find that anyone and everyone is allowed to respond in a thread no matter how ridiculous it is, just like this one.
