It’s How You Look at It

April 20, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Here’s Larry’s Upright’s Obituary.  He was 81 years old when he died.   He died near Charlotte, North Carolina, in a town called Kannapolis.

Yes, as a matter of fact, this is real.

On the upside, my Momma is 89 years old and has every intention of living until she’s 91 so she can vote for Hillary.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

  1. Somewhere in North Carolina, there is a mortician, or hearse driver struggling with the ethics of placing a “Hillary for President” bumper sticker on the bottom of Larry Upright’s casket.

    The right Reverend Robert “Grifter” Schuller passed today. No word whether he plans to vote for another wingnut for Potus. I only mention this as he hatched out about 20 miles west of me in Alton,iowa. Too bad,so sad,not.

    Filled with hate all the way to the grave.

    To be fair, we don’t know how Larry planned to vote. But his FAMILY took this opportunity to push their agenda, all wrapped up in grief as they are.

    Be a rill hoot if the mortician claimed sincerely held religious beliefs that precluded him from handling dead wingnuts.

    I’m guessing these folks are so white,
    (And therfore also uptight
    Over liberal “sins”)
    They’ll be glad when she wins
    That Larry is no longer Upright.

  7. Not gonna have a body in the casket, but if I was, I’d wanna be in there face down so folks like that could just kiss my big Dem boo-tocks.

    I live in North Carolina.

    Given the level of intelligence in that area, I have to wonder if they put that in the obituary to keep Gramps from coming back from the grave to haunt them.

    Well, we don’t have that old white male to worry about voting Republican. That’s their demographic, and it’s a losing hand.

    My mama managed to live long enough to vote for Obama! (Deep in the heart of Dixie)

    RIP Mr. Upright. Out of respect to you, I won’t address your family. If Shriners Hospital for Children is one of your favorite charities, thank you.

    Micr, so that you don’t send out a search party, I’ll be enjoying another honeymoon, in Cancun with Jane. We leave tomorrow. It was one of our wedding gifts, but as ranchers it’s not easy for us to get away, so we are thrilled to be able to finally enjoy this generous gift. And, uh no, not taking the laptop. 😉

  12. I did tell people in 2004 that if I died before the election, someone should carry my urn into the voting booth so my ashes could reach up and vote against Bush.

    Having viewed the condolences and otherwise at the site, I realize that this is the first “trollbituary” I’ve ever read. Seriously, this is what happens when you delegate the obit to the grandkids.

    As for my post-mortem politicking: I’m just arranging to be buried in Chicago, where I can vote Dem in perpetuity.

    Also, Larry seems to go by Darrell, his middle name. “And this is my other middle name, Darrell.”

    Grin. I’m hoping our kids will always vote for a Democrat, assuming there will be Dems running, but they tend to do whatever suits them. I might stick a note on my will stating that they should vote Democrat because otherwise I’m going to come back and give them big headaches.
    PKM, have a nice honeymoon.

    Well done. We’ll hold a strain on ‘er, partner, ’til you return.

    For sure Mr and Mrs PKM, have a wonderful honeymoon and try not to think about politics while you’re away! Looking forward to your usual acerbity upon your return.
    PS: just a friendly suggestion, but leave the jihadi gear in Nevada…

    I live in Indiana. One of our TV stations posted this news on their Facebook page. I made the not unreasonable comment that people who said they would honor the family’s request wouldn’t have voted for Hillary anyway. My comment was more than enough to set the Hillary haters off, but good. There was much mouth-frothing and gnashing of teeth. Bless their little hearts, I think they’ve got so much rage built up that some of them won’t live to see the election, what with the strokes and heart attacks they’re bound to have.

    Have a wonderful time in Cancun, PKM & Mrs.

    A saving grace: Mr. Upright is no longer uptight but is rather outtasight!! Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!!

    Woohoo … party on!!

  19. So I imagine this family will all reap the bennies of this: for the next 18 months, their “friends” will be calling to make sure their names are on the chart as NOT voting for Ms Rodham Clinton. I hope they have to get an unlisted number.

    Poor North Carolina– how it’s slid since we lived in liberal enclave Chapel Hill when I was a kid. In addition to Mr. Upright, their gov just stated he wants them that drilling rigs CLOSER to the spectacular beaches. Dumb is from all that polluted groundwater, maybe?

  20. Autocorrect did not want me to write “them thar”

  21. I’m pretty sure ole Mr. Upright,who is now Mr. Laidout, didn’t write the obit, so I’m pretty sure he is glad to be rid of those boneheads who are now probably fighting over what little money there is to be had.

  22. The R base keeps shrinking as more and more “uprights” shake off the mortal coil. I’m OK with that.

  23. The family has my condolences, not for their loss but for their stupidity and lack of class. In time they will mourn less for their family member, but I suspect they won’t be getting any smarter.

  24. OK. That does it. I am definitely filing to vote absentee in 2016. At my age, if I cork off before election day, when I face the Pearly Gates I can do so with a big grin on my face knowing that yes I did vote for Hillary!

  25. UmptyDump says:

    Here’s the deal. I’ll not vote for Hillary if the family digs Grandpa up and brings him to my polling place in 2016.

  26. Sandridge says:

    If I ever get back in Charlotte, North Carolina, I’ll make sure to find out where Mr. Downright is interred.
    Then I’ll have a jug of ice tea and a couple beers (oops, no beers and driving, esp. in a furrin state)…whizzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  27. Jill Ann says:

    I am sorry for their loss. I guess. I am really struggling lately with the battle between my decent human instincts, and my sincere wish that the Koch Brothers would depart this realm, post-haste. Struggling.
