Close your eyes for a second...and just try to imagine the funeral....

[Bicoastal]

...of one Rev. Fred Phelps.

[Jamastiene]

1. Is he dead?

I'm curious. What brought this post on? Or is this a collective "think happy thoughts" moment? If it is, I would say, "Aaaaah."

[Bicoastal]

2. Well, yeah, it would be a happy thought...and no he's not dead...

...but can you imagine what the turnout would be like?

:evilgrin:

[NanceGreggs]

4. Yes, I can imagine ...

... and that IS a happy thought, isn't it!

[rasputin1952]

11. I'd show up w/a "God Hates Assholes" poster...

"he killed you because you're an asshole"...:D

[flvegan]

3. That won't be a funeral...

that will be damn near a riot. Funeral hooligans, and whatnot. Funeraligans.

Not that I wish anyone ill or anything.

[Initech]

21. There will be huge riots in Topeka when he dies.

I can bet it will end with his corpse getting pecked apart by huge birds.

5. Probably related to this

I doubt anyone will be surprised.

6. A couple of visions come to mind...

One where every person this asshat has ever hurt, along with God and all his angels, protests his funeral -- something he has earned.

The other, where no one including the media pays any notice and that he's left to rot with his followers in the hell that he's created in his so-called church -- something they all deserve.

Either one works for me.

12. I can imagine God saying..."WTF was wrong w/you?"

:evilgrin:

[TomInTib]

7. God Hates Phelps

That's gonna be my sign.

[murielm99]

9. You beat me to it!

We should all go there carrying our signs and have a DU meetup later.

[MuseRider]

13. Hey there!

I have already invited everyone to come stay at my house. Party party, Fred is Dead!

I always stay out of the celebrations of the deaths of people I do not care for but this one? Nah, I have spent my life putting up with those creeps. This one I will relish, as much as I hate to admit that.

My house....PARTY! Pre and Post funeral. :hi:

[TomInTib]

17. Can I come?

And this ain't no sex thread...

Tom

[MuseRider]

22. Well there is my first laugh of the day!

LOL, and a blush as well and I am certainly not a prude!

Of course, I EXPECT you to be here (ahem). You can dance with the goats and the circle will be complete. God that sounds like code. I think I should stop now ;).

[TomInTib]

23. Oh, no, it's to late to stop now.

The Dancing Goats are already in on the deal, you know.

[MuseRider]

25. Yes, they certainly are a major part

of our plan however we still must deal with the Prancing Ponies.

Tonight we danced at sunset looking ever to the West with a slight Northern turn. Away from the sunset, we shall dance again tomorrow.

Come one come all

8. Fred would not understand this:

"I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up." - Mohandas Gandhi

"Instant Karma's going to get you." - John Lennon

10. Damn...Scare Me!!!!

I had a mental image of me in hell, stoking the furnace just to heat the place up to "broil" before the arrival of satan's misbegotten son...:scared:

14. I'm picturing the world's largest ever gay pride parade.

Rainbows everywhere. Men in tight leather hot pants. And lots of signs denouncing Phelps.

[Arugula Latte]

15. The most decked-out of them should carry signs that say:

"Phelps was my hot gay lover." That would be more offensive to people of Phelps' ilk than anything else.

[Kitty Herder]

16. Absolutely! nt

[SoCalDem]

18. Just his family.. Most people are not evil enough to to do his family,

what they do to others.

[Hoof Hearted]

19. Fireworks. Like the big ass Philadelphia patriotic kind.

Celebrating his death, in a "we are so glad you're dead" kinda way.

[Initech]

20. Purgatory will be a fitting punishment for that asshole.

Hell is too good for him.

[BreweryYardRat]

24. Well, I'd enjoy the piss I'm about to take much more if it went on Phelps' grave.

When the funeral happens, I will most certainly go, and definitely piss on the grave.

Maybe leave a used condom, too. With a little sign: "The sperm in here are smarter than Fred ever was."

[Jackpine Radical]

26. Is it actually a requirement that he be dead

before burying him?
