"...his backhoe had triggered a sudden explosion of mice and what looked like human remains."


I remember this one time, a ho triggered a sudden explosion of crabs and what looked like a rash, but that's another story.

I don't get the whole 'Carol Anne' reference. Am I the only one?

Are they sure it isn't an Ancient Race of Skeletal People (pops).

Speak Into The Mike: I don't get the whole 'Carol Anne' reference. Am I the only one?

It's a reference to the movie Poltergeist.

 
Jack31081 2007-01-28 08:16:26 PM  
Speaking of Poltergeist, my father swears that in Poltergeist III, there's a scene where we see Carol Anne's mother in a mirror.

I've yet to see it myself. Anyone confirm or deny?

 
Marshall Banana 2007-01-28 08:20:41 PM  
Gormenghast: It's a reference to the movie Poltergeist.

And to the little girl who died fairly shortly after the movie was completed. Which is sad.

"Luckily, there were still a few of us around here that knew Margie and knew where her house was," said Polakewich, the code enforcement officer. Rummery died in the 1960s.

Wow, these guys are practically skeletons themselves.

monty666: Get off the shrooms, man.

I'm confused. Are you suggesting that I hallucinated a conversation with my father? Or are you just an idiot?

After seeing Poltergeist at the theater my friend and I were walking to our car when two young women who had also seen the movie exited and dashed terrified to their car, got in and locked the doors. We crouched down and snuck up to their car and started to rock it and tap on the sides. They screamed and went nuts.

/good times
//thanks for letting me share

They moved the cemetery once before...right down there...

Shortly after the third movie, but the point that she's no longer available for comment still remains.

Definitely not news...there are family plots from pioneer families all over the midwest as well, most long forgotten. My great-great-grandfather has a cemetery named after him (well, actually the township that once existed before it became a real town). Of course he must have been a memorable guy, three wives and 14 children, but I saw lots of overgrown, crumbling and rotted grave markers elsewhere in the rural areas I explored as a kid.

In a real church cemetery, I once came across a family of eight buried there, all killed in the 1918 flu epidemic. Earlier, another family that lost baby after baby - I'll confess wondered about that one.

When I was at FSU, my hash group stumbled across a small family graveyard. One of the 'residents' was a Civil War veteran. The sad part was that another one of the graves had been dug up sometime in the past. There was a hole were the body would have been and a mound of dirt next to it.
At the time I worked at the State archives. We had reference books from various counties listing all the known graveyards. The one I found wasn't in it. I left a note in the book detailing the location as best I could.

I don't understand why we waste valuable real estate on rotting organic matter... why don't they just move all of the cemetaries to Second Life?

She's available, you just have to turn on the TV.

I lol'd at the headline, until I forgot that the little girl who played Carol Anne really passed away at a young age.

I doubt the subby knew she was dead in real life to make such a horrible comment. Than again, this is FARK.

You maniacs! You blew it up!

Oops, wrong movie. It's amazing how POTA holds up. I even watched it on the scifi channel, commercials and all. Chuck's overacting was perfect for this movie.

from imdbHeather O'Rourke, who played the little girl Carol-Anne, and Dominique Dunne, who played the teenage daughter, are buried in the same cemetery: Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles. Dunne was strangled into brain-death by her boyfriend in 1982, the year of the film's release. Six years later, O'Rourke died of intestinal stenosis.

Considering how long there have been humans on this planet (or other species, if you subscribe to the 'our is not the oldest civilization' theory), I doubt there are many places which do NOT have human remains buried beneath them. Even if you only count cavemen on up, that's a lot of dead people that have to be somewhere...

/Eew. Dead people everywhere.
