But the main character does say she was a “slut” and her mother would not have her back at home. That should make any Christian or righteous person feel holy.

Picture Owen’s Funeral (Many, many, many years from now)

The Church is packed and hundreds outside have to make do with a broadcast of the service over loud-speakers.

Solemn organ music accompanies the entrance of the local Minister.

“Please be seated”

Everyone sits down.

“Our first hymn...”

(and the organ begins-)

Dum dum, Dum dum, Dum dum, Dum dum

Dum Dah, Dum Dah, Dum Dah, Dum Dah

Dum dum, Dum dum, Dum dum, Dum dum

Dum Dah, Dum Dah, Dum Dah, Dum Dah

Da da da daaaah, Da da Da da dah

Da da da daaaah, Da da Da da dah
(then the choir starts...)

“I’ve been cheated by you since I don’t know...”

*BANG*

The coffin lid flies open; the body sits bolt upright and screams:

“Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”

But the choir continues unabashed.

If one looks closely, one may make out Ms.Crittle, Luke, sundry Craigs and… surely that couldn’t be Mr. Kirsop at the back!
The Choir Master? Well his somewhat oriental features (not to mention the trademark ‘evil grin’) are something of a dead give-a-way.

Personally, I’m particularly looking forward to the wake afterward, when Angela & Dani have promised a performance a’ la ‘Muriel’s Wedding’, with Craig S as the somewhat stolid Bjorn, and Dave L as the mischevious Benny.

Ahhh Owen what a celebration it will be - what a pity you can’t be there.

But I wouldn’t worry too much mate - I’m sure you’ll outlive us all
(you’ll have to now - who do you think was playing the organ! ;-) )

PS I most humbly apologise to all those to whom I’ve caused offence; not to mention the exceedingly bad taste of this entire post.

But it was tooo delicious to resist.

I am after all, just a weak and damned atheist

Yes Rob I am offended. Because you forgot to mention that it was I who was running the overhead projector to ensure the karaoke sing-a-long words were up on the big screen for all to burst forth in glorious harmony. Just as Owen wanted it !

Thanks for scenario Rob.

Cheers, Kevin ( “Go the mighty Hawks “ !! )

RC you are a mongrel rotten sod is wot you are!
If Abba is played at my funeral it will be the most unholy resurrection of a grumpy corpse with but one aim in mind- to shut down the music!
They have been told: Pink Floyd playing Wish You Were Here (My fave song and last joke all at once) and Van Morrison singing “Be Thou My Vision”.

Be told; Abba is possibly Sweden’s greatest folly. If there is any truth Phelp’s godhatessweden website it is because of Abba.

Hey, do you think I have unresolved issues left over from the 70’s?

As for the movie. I will never get to experience whatever immorality it proffers. I am as likely to watch it as I am to watch Grease, that wretched Village People movie or the Spice Girls thing. I’d rather gargle ammonia.

Hi Owen,

I thought you were joking about that site - and just having a ‘play on words’. But then I googled ‘godhatessweden’ and found it really does exist.  Shock-horror.
And then there was this big world map on the site and I found ‘godhatesaustralia’. I am still reeling in shock - which is a rare thing. I’ll need to go see the new “Wild Child” movie to recover - or “Journey to the Centre of the Earth’ in 3D. I really am shocked at those sites.

Cheers, Kevin

Sadly I followed your lead and had a look also.  What can you say to such hatred and vitriol?  It is quite frankly very distressing.
Bob

Yeah KG
According to Phelps, God indeed does hate Oz. Mind you, if there is cred in having a website so titled then there is also a godhatesfredphelps site so all is not lost.

I was thinking about a godhatesgodhateswebsites site.......
