To Beer Or Not To Beer, That Is The Question
Illinois man Bill Bramanti has a custom-made Pabst Blue Ribbon beer-can casket, even though he ain't planning on using it soon. He threw a party and filled his silver coffin - designed in Pabst's colors of red, white and blue - with ice and his favorite brew. His daughter Cathy said: "Why put such a great novelty piece up on a shelf in storage when you could use it only the way Bill Bramanti would use it?"
FOOTNOTE: Way to go.
And when poor Bill is dead and gone, if asked about his casket, perhabst he'll say he designed it in a Pabst life. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat was just on the news here. Pabst is made in my homestate so the news was all over.
ReplyDeleteThe man likes his beer, I guess.
Now I'm as big a fan of beer as anyone but PBR? Man that stuff is rotten. Now, I've drank my share, but it's still rotten.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, maybe it goes well as a casket.
I find his daughter's lack of pronoun use in reference to her father a little weird...
ReplyDeleteAs is Bill Bramanti :D
Reminds me of W.C. Fields' beer bed.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's just crazy. To live your whole life only to be buried in a beer keg? To each his own I guess.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm not even going to try for a pun... Hilary is just way too clever.
Well, let's hope he isn't sent to his great reward anytime soon, and remains 'ale and 'earty for years to come.
ReplyDeleteBeer can coffin? Well, I don't see what the big brew-haha is about!
Better than being left on the shelf....... I suppose!
ReplyDeleteWonder if the party was loud enough to wake the dead?
ReplyDeleteCrazy!
