Famous death

Will he be buried in his full stage costume? (Question by Kerrie-Ann K)

Hello? He wore costumes all the time, whether on or off stage. How can anyone see the difference?

Musing about the overload of MJ on all the magazines at the newsagents, I wondered aloud whether to buy one... Then said, "Hmm. No. Don't need that." Then said to the young girl at the counter "Did you hear, Michael Jackson died!" As if I was astonished.

She didn't get my nuanced sarcasm, and asked if I'd seen any news reports. The young fellow at the counter got the picture, as she did when I said I'd seen it all, and was over it.

I heard someone speculating on putting him in one of those glass boxes, and sending the box around with the circus. Or maybe it could lie in perpetual state at the corner of Hollywood and Vine, like Lenin was in the USSR?

Yeah. Over it. That's me, too!

Hi KC

Dunno if that's such a good idea, in about 40 years or so the plastic bits will deteriorate... read my post on Plastic in the last few days.

Hi TimT

You've been over at Blairs, haven't you?
That was the funniest thing I've read for a while... in one of the Jackon threads...

As I said a while back, the family circus has begun.
