1. You know those papers from his presidency we've all been dying to see?

Ten bucks says they're in there.

[PaDUer]

2. I heard this am

on a show that they may NOT use the actual casket w/ him in it, might have an empty one??

[Catshrink]

13. I heard they used an empty casket for rehearsals.

I'm trying to avoid coverage of this but it's damn hard!

3. Merv Griffin will be a pall bearer

Hope the other guys are really strong!

[Catshrink]

12. honorary pall bearer....

The beefy military guys will actually carry the casket.

5. I don't want to laugh at that joke.

I smiled but I don't want to laugh. You guys are too much! You're making it hard for me to mourn Reagan.:)

6. i don't want you to laugh

did you hear? when he died, he was ketchup

:)

[DS1]

8. aaaaaaahhh!!

devilish, I love it

[KamaAina]

7. They should have given him an enema before he died

without all that B.S., it'd weigh about as much as a sack of potatoes. Hell, Merv could just sling the whole doggone thing back over his shoulder.

:evilgrin:

[trogdor]

9. That includes the 200 lbs of lead fishing weights...

...meant to simulate the body. Did anybody see the casket open? Neither did I. I bet the old man died two years ago :tinfoilhat:.

10. It's the krugerrands that Pretoria gave him for supporting apartheid!!!

It might make his legacy look bad to discover them.

[moof]

14. You can say that again.

[noonwitch]

11. It's the krugerrands that Pretoria gave him for supporting apartheid!!!
