No........ I said even grown men scream like little girls (refering to the sound they make)........

And frankly I think men are more likely to be scared (except Alex) because everyone knows women are the stronger sex when it comes to stress endurance.

Sounds about right...

Yeah, but the same is true of any roller coaster in the world just about and King Triton's Carousel. I was just keeping the comparison in house.

Screaming is a way to release all that tension and adrenaline you build up in line. And it's fun.

I'm a screamer. But not in a 'Eeeeeeek' sort of way, it's more of a 'Wahoooo!'


And call me mean and dark, but I think there's nothing wrong with joking about death. I think everything can be and should be funny. At least, that's how I feel about it today...

I joke about death all the time. However, I'm not going to be doing it at a funeral. Context and timing.

I did it while preparing for my grandfather's funeral.

Some funeral homes will give you the option of putting some sort of picture on the inside of your casket lid. ie. You can put a huge picture of Jesus there so he's watching over you. etc.

My grandparents were totally in love but they fought like cats and dogs every single day of their lives. (It's what happens when a Sicilian man loves a Portuguese gal...) So I told my grandmother that we should put a huge picture of herself there so she could keep her eye on grandpa for all eternity. For two seconds she stopped crying to slap me on the arm. In those two seconds she smiled.

Death can be funny.

When I die, I want someone to throw a great big party. Male strippers and people in costumes. Come as your favorite dead celebrity. I'm totally serious. And I want some of my ashes scattered in front of the Haunted Mansion and some on Tom Sawyer Island. zapppop would totally do that for me, I know it.

GC, your funeral sounds like fun.

[CoasterMatt]

My funeral is gonna be one big party, with lots of explosives, and all sorts of debauchery

There must be thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of people scattered around DL......

My wife's aunt did the dirty deed in the HM when her daughter died (it was her favorite ride).

I'm assuming you're using the phrase "dirty deed" differently than I would.
