Buried in beer

Beer can coffin

Bill Bramanti loves his Pabst Blue Ribbon so much that he commissioned a custom Pabst can coffin for himself. USA Today quotes Bill as saying, "I actually fit, because I got in here."

Everything about this story strikes me as all kinds of wrong:

  1. Entering your coffin before you die is creepy
  2. Having a coffin designed based on a beer can is bizarre.
  3. If you are going to love a beer that much, why Pabst Blue Ribbon?

Oh - and let's not forget about the part where he throws a party and fills the coffin with ice and beer for his friends. It was not Halloween.

Anyone else interested in a custom coffin? If so, of what? If you've got a food related one, I'll be happy to write about it, but please expect mocking.

However, I don't want anyone getting a hernia carrying me into the hearse, or the hearse's shocks giving out.
