Is this just the evolution of funeral protests against America's toleration of gays?

All I can tell from what the christians are telling me is that everyone in the WTC towers were gay. Am I Getting this rite?

"making off with everything from credit cards to sandwiches faster than you can say "rest in peace."

This just in: The suspect appears to be a bear named yogi.

Does it still come on TV? It was my favorite show in my early teens.

Just the Fred Phelps types. They matter as much as Scientologists and channers.

Win.

Assholes that do this kind of shiat deserve the harshest sentences possible.

/steal from people at cemeteries that is, not quote classics

Any quote I come up with can't top that one. Well played!

Thieves don't just target funerals.Graduations and weddings are just as likely to be hit.

Putting the fun back in funeral.

God damned world is just too farked up. If there ever was a god, he's long since abandonned this planet. With religion talking about things getting worse in the last days - it's hard to not jump on the religious zealots bandwagons when you see all the new ways criminals find to redo the same old crimes. Mother Nature or God really needs to just wipe the slate clean and start fresh.

After watching Bait Car the other day I don't see how they can be that difficult to catch.

It comes on the Chiller channel frequently.

That's aren't nuthin' In Tampa, we have thugs who mug senior citizens when the old folks come to visit their loved one's graves. Stay classy, Tampa!

Nobody ever considers the possibility of really stupid zombies.

That is, only the above average zombies get out there and hustle, looking for an honest days' braaaaiiinnsss.

The stupid zombies do things like smoke crack, dance and break into cars.

Its not still on but they've recently come out with all the seasons on dvd sets. Best buy had a special on them where they were 19.99 a few months ago. They are like 35 list price so you might want to keep an eye out.

One of the more entertaining HBO series. One of the episodes I remember was of Michelle Johnson (From Blame it on Rio) playing a lumberjack's wife, who tried to seduce another lumberjack by showing her boobies. Real and spectacular (NOT SAFE FOR WORK!!!)

concerns smash-and-grab robbers who steal from the cars of cemetery visitors.

Subby needs to get out more..Easy pickins. People think that because it's a special occasion that they can just leave everything unlocked and go about their day with the shield of innocence about their area.

That's just rotten. I hope the Travis County thieves don't pick up on the trend; I spend a fair amount in cemeteries on nicer days. Maybe I'll start taking my puppy with me just in case.

/Puppy is a 175# Mastiff
//Yay big puppies!

I was friends with a professional ghost hunter way back in the early 1970's (way before it was considered "cool" or popular): he was the first person I ever heard of who took tape recorders to old houses, cemetaries and such; as an experiment, he once sent some of the alleged entities he heard on the tapes after some creep who robbed and murdered a nice old lady-- creepo dropped dead of a heart attack shortly after. Coincidence?

Honestly, how much cover would a cemetery provide for thieves? It's not like most have high walls or loud ambient noise to cover the sound of breaking glass...

Had 2 card broken into at the viewing before the funeral. I never felt more like vigilante murder in all my life... But we had no idea who did it. Can you imagine the nerve it takes to rob people at a funeral home???

/cocaine's a h3ll of a drug...

70% You made that up.
30% Yes, coincidence.

We've had the same problem in the cemetary I work at in Whittier, Ca. It must be the new hotness.

Old Hotness: Checking the funeral notices in the paper and burglerizing the grieving widow's home while she's out.

Rocket from the Tombs was better.
