A question on etiquette: What is the proper amount of time before throwing a celebratory

[silvershadow]

party in honor of someone's death, anyway? Do I have to wait until the body is buried? Is that rive gauche? Can I have a quick little shindig yet before midnight?

1. In this case, Grave Dancing should start immediately.

[bravenak]

2. You are hours late

I started my party 3 seconds after I read the headline. I was already making tacos before I double checked.

3. I think it is bad manners to toast the person while the person is still in the death bed

if you did not like them. So I guess once he is in the hearse you can break out the bottles. For the dear departed soul, you know.

8. That's right, that's right

> nods solemnly <

4. I watched the news, then drove to the liquer store, so I'm going with 15 minutes

5. Finally, Margeret Thatcher has someone who will talk to her in hell!

11. Ronnie Rayguns too. the three of them can have a great time!

[Marie Marie]

6. My Eulogy to the departed:

Thank you for your Disservice to our country. Now let's party down!

7. Well, I'll never forget, or forgive stopping the Florida recount.

Their action costs too many lives, spent our treasury, tragically broke the middle east, created Isis, and way too many disaster to name.

South Park says it's 18 years, I didn't even give it 18 seconds.

Now watch this drive ...

[kath]

12. This.

9. body cold and the hooker is out the door

10. Actually, I hope the body was rushed straight to embalming. You know, just to be sure. nt

13. No, to be absolutely sure...

...they need to cut off his head, stuff his mouth with garlic, and drive a wooden stake through his heart.

14. My jerk ex-boss of 13 years died Friday night

So I'm curious for an honest answer.

[Warpy]

15. I usually wait until they're planted

However, Scalia is making an ash of himself to the bitter end, he's specified cremation in his will.
