I want to bury someone in it just so I can say "Goodbyyyyye baaaaby!"

Would it be in bad taste to buy this, convert it into a couch, and watch the entire "American Pie" franchise of movies while sitting on it?

I'm thinking - - pop the lid, put in a sneeze guard, and voila: Hard Rock Cafe salad bar!

Chantilly lace and a resting place?

I'll pass, I didn't like his music THAT much.

I'll knock the bottom out of it, make it into a doorway and wire it to yell "Hellooooooo Baaaaby!" whenever it's opened.

I saw his son perform and I was prepared to be underwhelmed but he was pretty darn good, baaaaaaaaaaaby!

Now that is just sick. Is it even legal to sell a used casket?

Yes, but, ironically, it can't legally be used as a casket.

So what is the positive feedback on ebay gonna be like for this?

"A+++++ very comfy and only has a slight dead body odor to it"

If anyone thinks I'll be makin'
A comment, then they are mistaken.
I came in here late,
And had to say, "Great,
The good jokes are already taken."

Where's the body?

I liked the photo of the "Texas Musicians Museum" which, apparently, is in this couples garage.

Also, the medical examiner, Dr. Obvious, "found that he died of crash-related injuries".

"Even though it was Dad's resting place for 48 years, it's also a unique opportunity to learn more about the early years of rock 'n' roll..."

This guy should do infomercials for Time-Life music collections.

Buyer agrees to pick it up at 8. And don't be late.

I think that's pretty hilarious as well...the article didn't explain the reason why he was brought up. Apparently a few of his family members thought there could have been a chance he was shot while on the plane. Either Buddy or the pilot supposedly had a gun and they wanted to examine him to see if he died from the crash or had been shot by accident as the plane went down.

/guess it was the crash

This fella wouldn't suggest it.

Despite Valens being so young and Holly's wife being pregnant, I always thought The Big Bopper's death was the saddest...because the only thing he's known for is "Chantilly Lace."

/Didn't know he wrote "White Lightning"
//moves him up a notch

 
Farkin' Found It! 2009-01-01 09:28:46 PM  
For the record:

It was Buddy Holly's handgun. He carried it for his own personal protection, fully loaded and it never left his satchel when he was alive. When the airplane crashed, the gun fell out of the bag and into the snow-covered field. By springtime, the farmer who owned the cornfield crash-site, found the gun and fired one shot to see if the gun worked. Nobody was shot on the plane; the plane crashed because of pilot error and low visibility.
