Is it time already for the annual Fark story on Nederland's frozen dead guy festival?


/checks article...yep

I'm going next year.

Disney?

Actually, this sounds like a fun way to go... er, have gone.

Take my corpse out and have a good time with it, at LEAST once a year. Buy it a drink!

What a waste. I would have eaten that salmon.

:-(

nobody tell him about the three seashells

Just once a year.

What a Nederlander might look like:

Apparently, Colorado enjoys celebrating with dead people. (new window)

What are you talking about subby that's the best reason to consider cryogenics.

Holy-really-long-friendly-URL-Batman

Between this and the headless chicken festival I think I need to make a trip or five back out there.

Donner pass on this one. Blitzen, how about you?

she bought the rights because she wants it to stay in Nederland.

You have to buy the rights to celebrate driving around with a frozen dead guy?


his Norwegian family preserved his body in hopes technology will be developed to bring him back to life.

Having a complete lack of understanding of the irreparable damage ice crystals do to human tissue over time.


Everything about this is wrong. I don't understand it and so I demand it stop.

I bet it's due to all the pot they smoke, the legal prostitution and the 16 year olds being allowed to drink beer. Een mooi stukje Nederland weg van Nederland.

Hey! You're just in time:

BitwiseShift: Donner pass on this one. Blitzen, how about you?

The reindeer is Donder. (thunder)

You know, nowhere in the article does it say the body was in the hearse, just that a hearse was driving around

Where do I sign up? I want my frozen body paraded around.

If they could fashion me and some other frozen dead guys into sleds and have races with us, they'd be even better.

I used to go when I lived in Northern Colorado. Fun times - coffin races, great outfits, copious amounts of microbrew beer, a real atmosphere of weirdness and americana, highly recommend it. Unfortunately grandpa does not leave his shed, and you aren't allowed to go in and see him I don't believe. Only bummer about the whole thing.

Approves.

/hot ... or not

Colorado? Was his body frozen in this shape?

Wow, only in the Netherlands. Wait...

This sounds like the most Awesome afterlife ever.

I mean... you tell me...

The referees are returning to their tent for deliberations...

I would think this is exactly why I'd want to be frozen. Take me out of the freezer on my birthday and throw a damn party. This would be a good thing to have in the supposed afterlife: friends and family having fun with my frozen corpse. Drive me around town, go run some errands with me, use me as a surfboard, hell I don't care. I'd like to think I could be useful after I'm no longer upright and breathing.

bingethinker: Anybody who is considering being frozen should read what Larry Niven said about this back in the 1960s.

I told my family that if they ever freeze me, they better have NPR radio playing nearby the whole time I'm frozen.

I would rather have...

Such a difficult choice!

I attended that festival in 2010 and it was a lot of fun. Even got to take part in the coffin race, with ours sponsored by one of the local Medical Marijuana places.

And no, they don't drive his body around, it stays on ice in the shed (a tuff shed!) and you can take a tour up to it if you'd like.

Some of the locals also mentioned that Robert Plant has a place up there and Caribou Studios is up there as well. And Eldora was a really nice place to ski as well! I may need to go back again!

Partial areola, no nipple so it doesn't count. I am disappoint.

Yay, my hometown made it to Fark!

Then you'll really be disappoint to know they are fake plastic costume partial areolas

/look at the neckline.

It's one of those fake plastic gag boobs people wear. You can see a little bit of the edge of it where her shirt is opened, look at her side and you can see it faintly underneath her shirt. Why would a woman be wearing this? It's Frozen Dead Guy Days, that's why...
