This has me thinking about a mahogany box lined in ruffled cream satin.

1. Heaven forfend! Only Ermine is fit to lay our Holy Kingship to rest.

[IcyPeas]

3. Wha......?? New word alert! (Well, old word apparently)

Forfend is an unusual word in that its most commonly used sense is considered archaic, meaning it survives in English chiefly in specialized uses. When forfend was first used in the 14th century, it meant “to forbid.” It still does but only in phrases, like “heaven forfend” or “God forfend,” that have an exaggeratedly old-timey ring to them. (The use is also typically humorous and/or ironic.) Put another way, substituting forfend for forbid in any other context would sound strange, as in “students are forfended from using cell phones in the classroom.” Other senses of forfend, including “to protect or preserve” and “to ward off or prevent,” are current, though much less common. The fend part of the word comes from the same Latin source as defend.

14. 'YEA!!!!' to both of you!

A brilliant (they use that word in a Guiness commercial) use of grammar - and a meaningful and timely explanation of it's use.

Now, find a MAGAT that can understand ANY of it.................

[The Roux Comes First]

26. Or Has Read One of Those Book-y Things in the Last Year

[Wednesdays]

31. The last YEAR?

How about EVER?

[brakester]

27. HOW FUN!

Word hikes!

[riversedge]

2. Trumpy was definately in la la land!

[Aussie105]

4. Death by narcolepsy!

I was hoping his demise would be more spectacular, like tripping over his platform shoes going down an escalator, but death by narcolepsy will have to do.

You know the scene - old folks home, lots propped up in chairs at night watching TV.
In the morning, those that didn't 'make it' get carted away in undertaker's vans.

9. An effin DUzy

😂😂

20. Braindead yes. nt

[Wicked Blue]

6. Something tells me he plans to be preserved in a glass box like Lenin

[IcyPeas]

11. Lol, this was within the comments:

Everyone calling me out on a mahogany box lined in ruffled cream satin being too tasteful for Donald is absolutely correct.

It will most likely be a Lucite box adorned with gold plastic appliques and his name in a bridal invite font, and the fabric will be a yellow-gold polyester lamé.

Lucite box!
Well, that

Remains to be seen.

(Forgive me, for I have punned)

[Wounded Bear]

16. Forgive me for I have punned...

[PCIntern]

18. I vote for a Loctite box

Just in case…

[Wicked Blue]

23. I think people should paint targets on it

for well-aimed urination

[Wednesdays]

32. Like the parody of "On Top Of Old Smokey"

Some people threw flowers
I threw a grenade

[Seinan Sensei]

38. Maybe for a coffin, we could use one of those pee troughs

Like you find at the men’s restroom in a stadium

7. I recently attended a 95th birthday party for my uncle. That is what this reminds me of.

Last edited Sat Nov 8, 2025, 08:59 PM - Edit history (1)

My uncle sat in his recliner dosing while about forty people mingled and visited. (editing to acknowledge "dosing" should read "dozing&quot

I actually enjoyed the event, catching up with relatives, but my uncle was totally oblivious to everything going on.

My uncle passed about 6 months later.

[NBachers]

8. Was he dosing or dozing?

[Midnight Writer]

24. He may have been doing both, but I actually only saw him dozing

[erronis]

25. I managed to read that as in your uncle had his public viewing after dying sitting in his recliner.

No reason to spend money on a casket. Just lower him into a 4x5x6 foot hole with recliner.

Sorry - morbid. Might be your favorite uncle.

[malaise]

10. The hair reminds me of that old Jacob's Cream Cracker tin

in my paternal grandma’s kitchen
😂😂😂

[Wednesdays]

33. His hair looks like

his barber played a practical joke on him.

[malaise]

35. Indeed

😀

[Permanut]

12. Looks almost lifelike.

[hoosierspud]

13. If only n/t

[angrychair]

15. The press coverage of this

Has been mind numbingly frustrating. All but nonexistent. Seriously...fuck the news media.

[William Seger]

17. I'll bet she gets investigated, maybe charged, for threatening #rump (nt)

[Cha]

19. Lol.. I see what she means!

[Blue Owl]

21. A pleasant thought

But I want that fucker to suffer before shuffling off — someone who’s been that abusive and caused others so much pain needs a little taste of his own medicine

[Maru Kitteh]

22. If he were tasteful, sure. I'm betting on a Rococo sarcophagus with

“Warm golden lighting” and Nessun Dorma blaring.

Just one more reason to hate the guy. I love Nessun Dorma.

[Wednesdays]

34. If it's any consolation, he couldn't care less about opera.

It'd probably be "God Bless the USA" or some such.

Or, maybe "YMCA"...?

[The Roux Comes First]

41. A la Rocky?

At your cervix.

[Dave Bowman]

28. That guy seems very impatient:

[Ilsa]

30. Nice farm implement, Orrex.

Not that this drawing resembles you in any way. Do you own a black hooded robe?

[Swede]

29. Almost looks like he's alive.

nt

[FakeNoose]

36. Chump needs to have eyes painted on his eyelids

Then he can sit there and doze out, and it looks like he's wide awake. Think anyone would be fooled?
Probably not.

[Javaman]

37. The interesting thing is if he had another stroke...

No one seems alarmed or cared to notice.

Maybe they are all secretly hoping he doesn’t wake up
😂😂😂😂

[IzzaNuDay]

39. Betty, a garbage can will do...

I’ll stop at that!

[lastlib]

42. I vote for "Hefty bag on the south forty"

Don't waste a good garbage can.

[BurnDoubt]

40. Give him a break.

Doing EVIL is apparently exhausting.

[FoxNewsSucks]

43. A lot of people have that same thought

[Trueblue1968]

44. Sendhim to e erlasting torment in Hell ... Very SOON !!!!!!

[Betty Boom]

45. Oh, you know his casket will be tacky gold

But I had exactly the same thought when I saw that picture.
