The Faster, Faster Pastor

Warning: this post has little point for you, it's more for me. Exercise
your spacebar/n key/whatever as you see fit.

I've spent today at a biker funeral, something I've not been to before.
The precession included a rideout, with the coffin carried by Rev. Paul
Sinclair, his Hyabusa outfit and not a small about of enthusiasm.

The chap lent not a small amount of normality to the whole thing. We
went for a ride up to Rivington, everyone had a chat just like it was
any Sunday and it was only when we were on our way back to for the
service did things start to feel serious.

Of the few funerals I've been to, it's been the one to celebrate the
person far more than any other. Thanks Paul.

Good bye Denise.

The same chap did the proceedings for my friend Tigger a few years ago.
The Pastor had a Triumph outfit at that time.

 

Christofire says...

Does he perform non-religious funerals, like no mention of god, christ
or anything like that at all?

 

He didn't do the service, he just rode the outfit.

 

I'm having a Humanist Funeral, that's what they do.

Can't you just have a funeral wherever without mentioning the G word?

Would be cheaper.

 

One of my closest friends is a funeral director and he's going to
organise it for me. He's also promised to chuck the hearse around a
bit on the way. I'm trying to convince him to get a speeding ticket
on the way to the cemetery and to declare my name when the NIP comes
through.

 

What's the difference between an Accordion and a Melodeon?

If any fucker plays an Accordion at my funeral, I'll haunt the bastard.

 

On a melodeon, the melody is played on buttons with the right hand. On
an accordion, you have piano keys for the right hand and most of the
melody (afaik) is played with buttons by the left hand (which, on a
melodeon, you'd use for the accompaniment)

If anything, the melodeon's like a giant concertina.

So they don't have exactly the same sound?

 

They're both reed based, but no, they don't. Not quite. The style of
playing is slightly different as well.

Assuming that haunting is possible, would you actually haunt a fellow
while he is practising his Accordion or would you prefer to haunt the
ladies' changing room at your local gymnasium?

 

Ahh I noticed Fio's comments in that thread <sad>

 

I'd try to wish for a fit female accordion player that goes to the gym.

 

Even this guy?


(I know now it's a melodeon, not an accordian, but still)

 

Okay, I might, just might leave him be.

The difference between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke

a melodeon's a harmonica in a box, an accordion is what greasy italians
play

including his Waltzing Matilda

ends with

God bless Stralia and all those who sail in her
god bless her jumbucks and billabongs too
Our country's pure, our country's white
we've fucked the abbos out of sight
And if you love fizzy beer we'll waltz along with you
