Who dumped the ashes Lincoln financial Field is home to the philedelphia Eagles
I think we all got that, Dav; it's that reading comp thing. I wonder how many players are feeling a wee bit taken aback at playing amidst human remains, or how many people question this practice of scattering ashes here there and everywhere. Both of my parents were cremated, but I never felt it was my god-given right to dump Mom and Dad all over the landscape. Mom and Dad are dead and don't care, and other people are living there.
I think it's an insane gesture, but to be respected. I fail to see how it really harms anyone - but this doofus may have wanted to try the phone call route first. Hey, if you want real fan loyalty, isn't this sort of the extreme side of that bargain? Plus it makes one of those interesting 'hey-Uncle-Dave-tell-that-
story-about-how-you-got-
arrested-burying-Grandma' holiday gatherings. "Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364..."
Damnit, Weedy.
Nice work weedy, people look at me funny when I laugh out loud at work...
I never felt it was my god-given right to dump Mom and Dad all over the landscape. I love that line. Pretty much sums most of this up. Seriously, can you imagine if this type of thing was allowed and accepted? There'd be ashes flying all over places like Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park. It would be kind of disgusting playing football amidst the burnt remains of several dozen dead people.
When my local team Swansea City moved to a new stadium at the start of the season, they found so many urns under the pitch that they made an appeal for the family members to come and collect their dead relatives. I guess it must be quite common. Dunno how mega clubs like Man U and Liverpool cope, they must get hundreds of requests a year.
I had planned to have my ashes spread in my favorite place, but Red Lobster said no.
It would be kind of disgusting playing football amidst the burnt remains of several dozen dead people. I don't know what kind of pansy sport you play, but when I play football, that's pretty much the way it goes. You get used to it.
I have no problem with the gesture. He did break the law by his actions. He will have his day in court, he will pay a fine and life will go on. This does not appear to be a trend in the USA. And I agree that it will make a lifetime story for the boy's devotion to his mother. Funny side note, player might be offended by playing on a field of ashes from the dead. How is that any different from living in an enviroment of dust, dust that is over 90% dead skin, not much difference in my opinion.
Where the heck you living, Panteeze? There is a 90% chance that you need to move, in my opinion!
The guys an idiot, laughing on TV like he did nothing wrong. I was at the game (I missed the actual incident) and certainly wouldnt have felt safe seeing a guy running about spewing powder of some kind. What if there was a panic? What if Jeremiah Trotter took the guys head off? I doubt the Eagles would have allowed him to be buried in the damn parking lot after that stupid stunt. There are much more honorable ways of honoring a dead relative. Besides,they vacuum the field after every game. So now she is floating around on a trash barge near New Jersey.
So now she is floating around on a trash barge near New Jersey. But really, on a certain level, aren't we all?
Damn, that's existential beyond belief.
Little smelly too. She is now running through seagulls. RIP ma!

Donny who loved bowling.
mmmm....deep. And original.
I don't know what kind of pansy sport you play, but when I play football, that's pretty much the way it goes. You get used to it. Didn't you run a crematorium near Atlanta or something? I played a lot of football, and everyone on the field I competed on was very much alive. Maybe you're such a good athlete because you compete against corpses.
Of all the stupid things about American sports, and there are a lot, the stupidest has to be the anger of announcers when someone runs on the field. Someone got drunk and committed a minor act of tresspassing. No one gets hurt expect maybe the perpetrator. Some people might even describe these incidents as amusing. Seriously, guys, its not that big a deal. Take the rod out of your butt.
I agree it's not that big of a deal. Do I still have to take the rod out of my butt?
Do I still have to take the rod out of my butt? Beautiful.
Mom was that big of a fan, huh,,,,,,,,,,,,O.K.
What if Jeremiah Trotter took the guys head off? That should be the punishment of all who breach the sanctity of the football field!
Donny was a good bowler etc etc A favourite film of mine, too. But on the same topic of scattering ashes, the Graham Swift novel 'Last Orders' is brilliant and deeply moving. And they made a half decent film of it a couple of years ago. A stellar cast and the only thing Michael Caine has ever been good in.
I heard that the volume of your ashes is about the same as your volume when you were born (as opposed to being related to your volume when you died) - so you could be a big fat man (or indeed woman) when you die, but have been a little tiny baby, and everyone would be well surprised by how little of the urn your ashes took up. Then, when you weren't looking, they'd bury you under the pitch at Swansea City, and thereby prove (although, by then you'd probably already know) that there is no God. None of that has anything to do with the guy running onto the pitch. He's just a tit.
the only thing Michael Caine has ever been good in. Oh behave! He was great as Austin Powers Sr. And the orginal versions of Alfie and Get Carter.
How Michael Caine didn't win an Oscar for this Irwin Allen masterpiece still eludes me.
I'll accept Alfie and Get Carter, perhaps. But the Austin Powers thing (like everything else he's done since about 1970) is self parody, so doesn't count. Nyah.
self parody doesn't count? There goes the closest thing I had to a guiding principle in life. Now what?
