Keith Richards: "I Snorted My Father!"

Kind of redefines:

Bumping a thread.

Getting burned on a deal.

Sitting down and having a snort with the Ol' Man.

Stepping on Coke.

Stepping on one's grave... after all...

If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out; cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.
Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

 

And I guess that Keith's favorite candy would be a "Blow Pop".

 

Robin Williams on Keith Richards...hillarious!!!!

I gotta admit I laughed my arse off when I read that today. My coworkers thought I had finally snapped. How does he come up with this stuff?

 

Dang! He gave his father a blow job!

 

Completely and totally false, I don't know where the Discovery channel gets its information. If a family purchases a casket (wood or metal) the entire container goes into the cremation retort. Wood caskets are comsumed in the cremation process (there are metal pieces that don't cremate, these are removed and discarded). With metal caskets, the lids are removed, the casket is placed into the cremation retort and the body and the casket are cremated. The casket is reduced to a burned metal shell the ashes are collected from inside of this shell and the shell is shredded and recycled.

We have rentals available for cremation families that want to have a 'visitation' with the body present. In these cases the body is removed from the shell and sent to the crematorium in an alternative container (wood and cardboard box) which is in turn cremated with the body.

I am not sure if any of you have had the experience to see what cremation ashes look like after the cremation has taken place, but they are a coarse, abrasive residue that ranges in color from black to grey to pure white (depends what the body is cremated in as the oils in the plastics that make up body bags tend to stain the ashes dark grey or black). If the family wants jewelry cremated with the individual you would see the remains of the jewelry in the ashes also. Basically what you have left over is any inorganic mater (fillings, stents, non-battery powered medical devices as the battery powered devices like pacemakers and implanted defibulators are required to be removed) and decalcified bone material. This is what makes up 'cremains'.

 

then I stand corrected, apparently F-chat is even more informative

 

Well the well of knowledge runs awful deep around here...BTW it was the Discovery channel that stands corrected Scott. Let's place blame where blame belongs.

 

And all along I thought vitamin C crystals, baby formula and powdered milk were the cuts of choice.

 

When the skull is a burned out shell, how much damage can a bump on the noggin do?

 

He's issued a retraction...it was a JOKE!

He was JOKING!

I like the waiver you sign on cremations, it says "some comingling of ashes may occur" or something like that...

So you get your loved one back...mostly...comingled with someone's Aunt Petunia......LOL!

 

You mean he's not dead? Could have fooled me!

 

Nothing you'd notice.

 

In PA, a cardboard box is used by many crematoria and coffins are rented for viewings. Also in PA, unless there is a viewing, embalming is not mandatory.
Also, I don't know why we are talking about this stuff. Thanks for the info, however.

 

MTV is reporting it was all a joke:

Never practiced in PA, however I would bet that this is practice, however if you went into a funeral home and selected a solid copper or solid Mahogany casket they would not have any qualms about cremating it. Rentals are offered as an option...the crematories will cremate just about any container.

Embalming is never mandatory. Many religions forbid the practice. Don't let anyone ever tell you that it is mandatory or state mandated to pay for embalming for a public visitation. The only way that this is required (in Michigan) is if the burial/cremation is to take place more than 48 hours after the death of the individual.

 

Thanks, and I believe, because of your profession, you have contributed to the knowledge of the forum. This is a grey area for most people and not one they want to discuss. While we're here, Jewish custom requires burial, without embalming within 24 hours. It is my understanding that there can be no metal in the coffin and Rabbis visit manufacturers such as Boyertown and York to verify that. I believe I am correct. Do you agree?

 

Kosher coffin?

 

Well that sucks.

 

My guess is the KR's record label spin doctors kicked in and thought they better tone down Keith's outrageous(but probably true) comments, saying he meant it as a joke.

 

Yes sir. That is exactly right.

 

So it turns out he DID actually do it!

 

Are you surprised?
