They've got zombie events planned back-to-back, belly-to-belly.

NFTFA: "We heard that *crunch crunch crunch* of bones and knew right away it wasn't the hyenas, said a local resident."

as someone who lives a mile away from where they planted my great-great grandma back in the 1860s that's just sad.

People don't care much about where they came from anymore. They care about newer and shinier electronics made my child labor.

I'm watching The Walking Dead right now and I'm getting a kick out of these comments... too soon?

Agreed those bodies should be dug up and burned!!!

Why was your child pregnant to begin with?

Any IA farkers nearby want to grab me a skull?

Enough with the farking zombies, what's the new series premiering next month?

My grandparents lived on the school hill in Lehigh and I spent many happy days there, both hanging out with the pie-eaters at the cafe and the low-lifes at the bar down near the river. As a kid, I dreamed of buying the "castle house" that sits up on the bluffs. My great-great-grandparents had a family cemetary that later became a church cemetery in Dayton. Odds are good we know each other, if we're not related.

Long story short, this makes me unspeakably sad.

Don't know about a skull ... but I might be able to give you a helping hand?? or a leg up?

Yes I am here all week....the veal is good try it...

Damned inconsiderate of them. If they'd eroded completely out, FEMA would have rounded them back up and reburied them.

let me google that for you.... its already started. I'm on season one, thanks netflix...

Good news is you can catch the first episode at http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-walking-dead

Good luck!

Funny expression, that. Shirt-tail relative. I wonder if it's anything like being born on the wrong side of the blanket.

When there is no more room in Illinois...

Time for a treasure hunt!


/where's my metal detector?

I thought this would be about the old Iowa couple married for 72 years who died holding hands - I'm glad to see I was wrong.

"Look at the BONES!"

"Bury ze bodies!"
"... but I am le high."

There's a black cemetery in Paris, KY that has bones laying around where animals have dug them up. What were we told to do? Find a hole, insert bone. Didn't matter if it was a gopher hole or a snake hole, that bone was going in.

Your bones become ducks. You can't explain that.

Are you sure that's a duck? I think I see a cygnet ring around its neck.

Meh! Just move the headstones. It's cheaper plus what could possibly go wrong.

Gyrfalcon: Lessee...

One of the oldest marked graves is 144 years old, but the state anthropology dept. can't issue an order to remove anything less than 150 years old, so it's "not their problem"; the county coroner say's it's not a crime scene, so it's "not his problem"; Public Health says the bones are in a cemetery so "it's not their problem"...

You all look like f*cking lazy assholes, and a bunch of insensitive fools. Now imagine if only one--ONE--Native American bone had been found out there, and suddenly it would be EVERYBODY'S problem and they'd be throwing money at it like it was going out of style.

Send them the money. Fix the goddamn cemetery. Or else look the other way when a bunch of locals go out with their own backhoes and winches and do the job themselves, you parsimonious pricks.

FTFA: Berglund, the township trustee, said he's heard from several upset cemetery visitors, but none were from the township or would have helped foot the bill for stabilizing the ravine.

don't look like the locals care very much either...

This is an outrage!!!1
Would you like to help pay for the...
Oh, hell naw, it ain't my problem!

"I'll get it!"

Sounds like I may have seen something like this before (new window).

It's just a bunch of damn corpses. Just scatter some pine cones and acorns and turn it into a nature preserve or something.

No...it's Hell on Wheels (new window).

And it looks a hella lot better than that other shiat.

/just sayin'

Lehigh Iowa. We have zombies, but at least we're not Santa Carla!

30-40 yrs ago common sense in small towns died a quiet death. damn sure there was a long stretch of time where something like this would have been handled quietly by a group of volunteers or a local business donating heavy equipment time. the red tape bureau has strangled the life out of the living leaving hands-tied oh noes in its place. farking shame.

Rufus Lee King i love your posts. you also post old toy box art sometimes me thinks. i'd love to see your collection; comic books & toys are priorities in my life.

This is exactly the problem I'm dealing with right now. I ran across this article while trying to find out who controls a certain cemetery in western Iowa; a number of my great-greats are buried there, and two of their headstones are now missing. A survey of the cemetery from 1987 shows where they are, but there is absolutely zero information online about who controls such a thing. I've emailed the dept of health and the DA's office for the concerned county with zero results. I'm about at the point of just ordering a couple of headstones online (yes, you can do such a thing) and making a trip halfway across the country to install them myself. It's an old pioneer cemetery out in the boonies with rare visitors, so it may be years before anyone notices. Or apparently cares.

where in western iowa? it'd be the township trustee's responsibility but the local genealogical and/or historical society might be willing to help.
