That whole thing about BUYING his corpse... was that actually true?
 
2005-10-24 01:49:54 AM
No, the whole thing about buying his corpse wasn't true. But it would be totally sweet... free markets rule.

The ultimate Lenin roadtrip song...

People say Im crazy doing what Im doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that Im o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely youre not happy now you no longer play the game

People say Im lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that Im doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Dont you miss the big time boy youre no longer on the ball

Im just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them theres no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if Ive lost my mind
I tell them theres no hurry
Im just sitting here doing time

Im just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

They should divide the carcass into 144,417,000 equal portions and give a chunk to each and every Russian.

/It's what he would have wanted...
 
2005-10-24 05:45:47 AM
Yeah, but only if they give out 144,417,000 Ritz crackers too, carridin1.
 
2005-10-24 05:46:29 AM
well, since the weekend at bernies thing is already played out... may i suggest making him into one of those fortune machine things where there is a creep animatronic gypsy telling you the future... with Lenin?

Didn't RTFA, but I think they should wait until McCartney dies, then bury them together.
 
2005-10-24 06:00:11 AM
The good folks at the eXile--Moscow's favorite hometown alternative paper has some good ideas on what to to with the mausoleum once Drew buys the body

 
2005-10-24 06:00:39 AM
Maya Babushka rabotat in procurement for the Politboro and bought plenty of Ruble500 chemicals. Thing is: the chemicals were made out of a very advanced preservative. Reason is: the preservatives were made to be used on very old carcassas. A single spark could kill or main an entire embalming crew. Hence... the Ruble500 chemical.

Haha, it won't let me post po Russki.

No sense russian. He's already dead.
 
2005-10-24 06:27:57 AM
Sooner or later, he mos' go. (Doesn't work with American mispronunciation)

/Seriously, put him Volkova cemetry where he wanted to be. Poor dead revolutionary genius bastard.
 
2005-10-24 06:31:32 AM
It's doubtful the body they show is the original anyway.

Maybe they could make candles from the wax.
 
2005-10-24 06:55:14 AM
Am I the only one put off by blatant Drew ass-kissing in headlines?

Thanks for the laugh! A great way to start the Monday morning work day...

BTW, I prefer my Lenin on a saltine with an olive slice and some brie cheese.

I think we should use the latest technology to animate the corpse with robotics so we can make it dance and do kung fu moves. You could use a little hand-held radio controller.

Then we could dress him up in a clown suit and put him in a movie with Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was.

Burn it and drop the ashes in a nameless pit and fill it with the bones of famine victims.

Send it to "The House on the Rock" in Wisconsin, They're always looking for Creepy exhibits

LOL...true. They could stick him in the middle of all those self-playing instruments for extra flavah.
 
2005-10-24 09:29:31 AM
Why can't he be put to rest like a normal person?

/admits robo-Lenin would be cool
//with kung-fu action grip?
 
2005-10-24 09:38:15 AM
In all seriousness a Lenin world tour would be awesome.

I reckon there would be a lot of people eager to see such an important historical figure in the "flesh".

I know I would go and see him....

/Museum tour?
//Drew make your suggestion more reasonable and tasteful

Tim Kazurinsky: [ laughs ] You know. I thought I could trust The New York Post. Under the leadership of Rupert Murdoch, the Post has given us such memorable headlines as.. [ holds up newspaper ] "The Sheiks Hit The Fan!" And.. "Khomeini's Kamikazes." And, my personal favorite: "Grandmother Dies of AIDS." So, yesterday, when the Post ame out with the headline.. "Andropov Dead".. I was shocked! It's clear, it's concise, it's factual. In every way, it's a departure from what I've come to expect from The Post. They even spelled his name right.

What happened? Why didn't they report Yuri's death like this: [ holds up fake headlines ] "Russia Goes Topless". "Iron Curtain Call". "Yuri Stiffs Russia". Or.. Lenin Gets Roommate". Where, I ask you, are the bad puns? [ holds up more fake headlines ] Like: "Flu-1, Yuri-0". "Vodkaput". "Andro-Poof" Don't tell me that the Post fired the lousy poet who wrote headlines like: "How-Now Mos-Cow".. "Bury Yuri In A Hurry".. "Redsky Dedsky".. or "Stinko Pinko Sinko".

[ holds up the real "Andropov Dead" headline again ]

Is this the new New York Post? What can I say? The thrill is gone. Robin?

Robin Williams: Thank you, Tim!

Is there a band called The Zombie Lenins? If not, there should be.

Bury him along with the misguided fantasy of Communism, and let the violence, death and oppression his demented and diseased mind spawned come to an end.
 
2005-10-24 10:48:30 AM
cornswalled: I place more blame on that with Stalin. He was a true monster.
 
2005-10-24 11:10:40 AM
I think they should bury him in that white piano that he wrote that pretty "Imagine" song on.
 
2005-10-24 11:21:46 AM
That's alright. We can make our own corpse! With booze! And hookers! In fact, forget the corpse! (Unless that's your thing...)

2005-10-24 11:52:25 AM
you know... I have this really hilarious mental image of his body sticking out of a trash can that's out on the curb for trash-day pickup...

Or better yet, left standing next to the door at Wal-Mart with a sign taped to it that reads: "Lenin: Free to good necrophiliac!"

Or, going with the whole Wal-Mart theme how about putting a greeter uniform/vest on him and propping him up just inside the doors? They could regularly put employment applications or credit card forms in his rigored paws!

Ummmm... Better yet! Let's appease the little, sadistic kid in all of us! Strap him to a scub with a remote detonator attached to it. Launch him over Moscow and press the button! Yay! It's combination funeral and fireworks show!

/Come on, man... Let's just pay our respects and leave.
//Are you SURE that's what you want me to do?
/Yes! Dear God YES! Just get it over with. Funerals creep me out.
//*zip*
/What the hell are you doing?
//*fsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssh* I'm paying my...
/No... Nevermind. I'm gone. You're sick and I'm gone.
//Wait!
/Christ! Put that thing away!
//Come on, dude! I need a ride back to the office.

///Window seat, please!

Well, he's too big to flush...

Give him his last wishes. He's been denied that for 81 years. He wanted to be buried next to his mother. Bury him there. If you can't do that, ask his family what they want.

Just being famous/infamous isn't a reason for your last wishes to be denied. Enough is enough.
