Degenerate Exits

Don't just put those ashes on the mantle! Go degenerate with them.

Part of the what makes a degenerate worthy of the name is how they choose to exit the planet. Normal people, those who lived in fear of the wild and unknown moments that others actively seek, will never understand why a hole in the ground is just not enough for some people. Here are some of my favorite earthly exits.

FIREWORKS!

Who doesn't love a good fireworks show? Now you can be part of the show as your final exit. Heavens Above Fireworks will explode you in the skies and let you rain down upon your friends and family in a memorable display of "I'm outta here, folks!" "...We arrange special fireworks displays which include a number of unique fireworks designed or modified to incorporate cremation ashes, allowing for a spectacular memorial event and happier farewell..."

WEARABLE DEAD PERSON

Leave your loved ones a nice piece of bling made from your ashes. Life Gem will compress you into a tiny little hunk of your former self until you sparkle. "...A certified, high-quality diamond created from a lock of hair or the cremated ashes of your loved one as a memorial to their unique life...."

LIKE SAND THROUGH AN HOURGLASS

Now your loved ones can use you to help make the perfect three minute egg. Lifetime Hourglass will encase your ashes inside an empty hourglass and you can entertain your loved ones through eternity as they turn you upside down to watch you slide back though again. "...After the ceremony, you will have a beautiful hourglass that they can turn over whenever you like..."

Need some different holiday cards and invitations?

Send your demented sense of humor to friends and family.

You know the holidays are going to suck anyway. They were invented to give dysfunctional families an excuse to gather together and inflict mayhem on each other a few times a year. But nothing can top the complete and utter dysfunctionality of those who write perky little articles telling you how to avoid the inevitable holiday screaming, whining, moaning, and accusations screamed at the top of your lungs so the entire neighborhood can share in the fun, such as this one:

Survival Tips for Holidays with Dysfunctional Family Members Here's some of her suggestions:

1. Form alliances with those you like and stay clear of the dysfunctional ones.

2. Don't expect others to be different. You're the one who must change.

3. Don't get involved in or arguments.

4. Don't get involved in fights.

5. Keep busy - help in the kitchen, with the kids etc.

6. Don't try to please everyone and make everything okay.

7. Use laughter and humor to take off the pressure.

8. Remove children from a toxic environment and stay with them.

9. If you're upset, take time-out to decompress.

10. Make an exit plan and use it.


She gets my vote to have all the other family members fall on her and rip her to shreds like a pack of hungry jackals. That would truly make a memorable holiday.

Here's a selection of cards you can send if you prefer to avoid the whole thing, or for the real degenerates, you can deliver them in person to your very special dysfunctional family.

Support your favorite freethinker.

When it comes to parting with your hard earned money, who do you want to support? Some whiny, tyrannical overbearing religious crazy or anything else, please ANYTHING else. Here's a list of the anything else, a selection of freethinkers, Atheists, unapologetic party animals, and those who enjoy life instead of trying to tell others how to live their own.
THE GODLESS HEATHEN Zazzle Store
Bring back Science and common sense by promoting a healthy, godless relationship with yourself and the planet. If you're pro-evolution and against dinosaurs hitching rides on arks, think that churches who interfere in politics need to be taxed and treated as Political Action Committees, and believe that no one has the right to force their superstitious beliefs on you, then the Godless Heathen is your one-stop shopping for all things Atheist, Agnostic, Freethinking, and supportive of basic scientific principles. And it is all presented with humor and a sense of fun.
Crazy Old Lady Of Peace
War is the most destructive force directed against our fragile planet. If we are to save our precious earth, we must focus on the issues that threaten it such as Global Warming, Climate Change, depletion of natural resources, and the ravaging effects of war. Be a voice for Peace with one of these designs that keeps the message of love, tolerance, and peaceful living in the front of people's consciousness. Share the message that we cannot separate ourselves from the environment without destroying ourselves.
Child-Free By Choice
Child-Free By Choice is a shop for those who have decided not to have children. For many this is a highly personal choice based on several factors such as not wanting to put more stress on the planet's precious and limited resources, realizing that not everyone is suited for parenthood, wanting to leave a legacy that is centered around work and art instead of breeding ability, and a preference for living around adults and the lifestyle that allows.

Irreverent philosophical humor from a retired senior citizen. Enjoy my selection of topics ranging from milestone birthdays such as 50th, 60th, and OMG you're THAT old, all the way to left leaning proud to be a Liberal political commentary, with a touch of old hippie thrown in just for fun. And to keep things interesting, funny perspectives on life, love, and relating to humans and animals in a complex world.

Let everyone know you're proud to be a Liberal, that Democrat means you care about people instead of corporations, and that as a Progressive you expect your politicians to focus on the environment outside your bodies, protect the planet from corporate greed, and educate the stupid out of people.
