I saw the DU hearse yesterday


I wondered about the bodies it was carrying.

2. I was hoping that this was a tombstone dancing thread
so that I could point and laugh at recently tombstoned DUers.

3. Oh no!
I would NEVER call out tombstoned Du'ers. I'm just pointing out the fact that DU has a refrigerated truck to haul off bodies.

4. Damn.
I was hoping that you were going to post a list of tombstoned DUers so that we could point and laugh.

10. I don't want to lock my thread!
I start very few threads. And I really did pass a Tombstone truck yesterday.

However, giving the direction, it may have been heading to Miami. Just sayin'.

11. Ok, ok. It's a cool thread. I won't get it locked.
I'm just jealous. I haven't figured out how to post pictures yet.

...as it is now, this thread is a total let-down.

18. Not a let-down
Possibly the truck was going from Oregon to Miami?

There you have it. IBTWCL

9. Thanks CalPeg!
Just wanted to let DUer's know we go off with some honor...well, at least our bodies are preserved until our loved ones step in to decide the final arrangements.

7. It was rolling on I-20E
Going towards Atlanta when I passed it. I was driving my MINI Cooper S, picked it up going uphill, and from there it grew farther in my rear-view mirror, until I could no longer see it.

All those little tombstones. What a beautiful tribute.

13. I couldn't see who was driving
Sam Elliott, Val Kilmer, Kurt Russell? My MINI was in need of some serious servicing, so I was cruising.

Turned out the repair wasn't bad at all, and I enjoyed a day of MINI motoring. However, I did get to see the DU hearse. I don't know who it was carrying, or where it was going...

15. Could be!
Only Skinner, et al, could tell us where they're dumping the bodies.
