Hey, go dig a six foot hole in New Orleans or near the Everglades. I think that you'd have to go a lot deeper to avoid bad stuff happening in flooding. It's that whole "swampy" thing.

They probably do, but running flood water (say, from a river breaking its banks) causes stupid-fast erosion of disturbed soil --- soil that's already been dug once.

Yawn. Wake me when he gets to Joe from "Wings."
Classic. Swoon. You had me at hello.

Hmmm. In that case I think I'd go for scattering ashes. I really don't want to wake up one soggy morning and see a loved one floating by.

New Orleans is a special case, because they follow the European riverside city tradition of using above-grade sarcophagi for the reason you mention --- high water table.

I don't know whether the N.O. sarcophagi are subject to long-term leases, as they are in Paris, where the family or some trust is eventually responsible to make arrangements for the ultimate disposition of the skeletonized remains.

I appreciate men. And I find some men quite pleasing to the eye.

I just don't want to fuck them.

Probably much the same way you feel about women.
Good point. There are some beautiful women and I don't want to have sex with any of them. I think Halle is quite beautiful, as much as I hated her in Monster's Ball. I don't turn away from pictures of her.

I'll give you the above-ground tanks, but I worry much more about snakes and floating ant beds than caskets. Caskets don't bite.

Man, you people can turn a simple snide-ass comment about people frolicking in sewage to a whole 'nother level.

Now I'm getting the urge to go find my old Ray Bradbury books again.

Don't speak too soon. Grandma may come in handy as an escape vehicle.

Dammit. What the hell? What's the deal with my post numbers?
Did I miss my personal K? I don't think I did. I wasn't that close.

Shoot -- now I can't use that one. Ah well. At least there's still Carlton from "The Fresh Prince."

And, for the record, it wasn't just a mere Atticus-as-Felix post. As you noted, that would rate a resounding "duh." Rather, the post was inspired by the Muse whispering "Sebby-as-Oscar" into my ear.

Well, except for that flowery speedo thingy.
Do you think he got a brazilian for that shot?
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

OK, if that's the one, I can live with my personal K being a repost of a hot pic of Shemar Moore.
