AllThatJazz, it’s because standing in fromt of salmon hued screen is soooo offputting!

Love that second pic, but I have to wonder: Why is he shooting in front of a green screen? Is it some sort of virtual trap shooting?

A buddy of mine makes amateur fireworks (he’s an amateur, the fireworks are really good). He wants his ashes loaded into a bunch of 6″ mortars and used as the finale!

And I thought celebrity fragrances were crass.
Great, now we can look forward to bullet-loads of your favorite dead ‘stars’.
Paris Hilton 50-cal rounds, anyone?

that’s one way to go out with a bang, not a whimper

“Hard to gauge”…. nice!!!

I don’t necessarily think that it’s wrong to cannonize someone as long as it’s done with respect, and preferably not with a blunderbuss.

My relatives are all patriots, so maybe they could be bombs bursting in air …

I like this idea; far classier than the company I heard of lately who will press your ashes into a vase. Or jewellry.

Blog Guy, perhaps they could play the rhythm of Pachelbel’s Canon by cannon at your funeral, and your ashes can be in one of the cannons?

I’ll say this, Spin. If the person’s ashes were in the guns and the salute WASN’T posthumous, it would be very inappropriate….

Would it be ironic or appropriate if they gave a posthumous 21-gun salute for someone, and the person’s ashes were in one of the guns?
