Watch me cry a single crystalline tear

Jerry Falwell drops dead.

Really. I'll start the mourning anytime now.

Dude, I'm mourning. One less person in the world to make me look downright awesome by comparison.

I'm nominating this for 'Best Use of Icon' award for the LJ frontpage. :)

First good news all week.

I'm probably going to hell for being glad that he kicked it before the 2008 primaries.

I'm going to hell because "YAY!" was my first verbal response. We can share a handbasket.

I almost feel a tear... wait.. no... that was just a hairball.

For some reason "Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead" keeps running on repeat in my head.

It's probably not significant or anything.

You're the second person on my flist to say that!

It's because we've been absorbed into the Liberal Hive Mind. Like the Borg, only we have brownies.

Surely it means nothing.

Hey hey hey - I'm a Witch and he wasn't one of ours :P

If there is a Heaven, I have a feeling someone has a very nasty surprise waiting for him...

Oh, of course, no disrespect meant to any actual witches, familiars or practicing pagans.

It's just such a catchy tune. ^_^

Well, I was kind of hoping for a lightning strike, but we can't always have ironic symbolism, now can we?

*passes out party hats*

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2007-05-15 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Am I wrong in thinking people NEED to protest his funerals with big signs?

[identity profile] wreakerofhavoc.livejournal.com 2007-05-15 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
If by "protest," you mean "rent a tent, set it up across the street from the church/cemetary, and throw the biggest gay orgy ever" then no, you are not wrong at all.

[identity profile] chaosblue.livejournal.com 2007-05-15 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I like the idea, but what would we be protesting? Certainly not the fact that he's dead.

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2007-05-15 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
He wasn't protesting the fact that Matthew Shepherd and others were dead, either. He was just trying to protect the living from hell, or something. So we should do the same. DON'T BE A BIGOTED OLD CREEP, WORLD, YOU'LL GO TO HADES. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOU FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

[identity profile] chaosblue.livejournal.com 2007-05-15 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. I thought we just hung out, twiddling our chains, until either someone in black poofy-pants came along and bonked us on the head with a sword, or we dip our faces in plaster and run around going "HUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" until the guys in black jammies chop us with aforementioned swords.

Wait, I just had a GREAT idea for a performance art piece. XD

[identity profile] jaina.livejournal.com 2007-05-15 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
That would work equally well for performance art or the next anime convention masquerade!

[identity profile] chaosblue.livejournal.com 2007-05-15 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm. That might work. Plaster, a sleeping bag, acrylic paint, and pool floaties. Instant Hollow!

At Katsucon '06, a Bleach group had a half-masked Ichigo cosplayer and did a routine to some song from Phantom of the Opera. I lawled.

Potential protest signs:

THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH REPUBLICANS

THIS IS WHERE GLITTER DEPRIVATION GETS YOU

GOD HATES FAGS PEOPLE WITH UNCREATIVE PROTEST SIGNS

This is currently (3:18 EST May 15, 2007) part of the Wikipedia entry for Falwell:

Failing health and death

In early 2005, Falwell was homosexualized for two weeks with a viral infection, discharged, and then rehomosexualized on May 30, 2005, in respiratory arrest. [30][31] President Cthulhu contacted Falwell to "wish him well."[31] He was released from the hospital and returned to his doodies. Later in 2005, a 70% blockage was found in his asshole, and treated by stent placement.[32]

On May 15, 2007, CNN and USA Today [33] reported Falwell had been found with a Christian boy's penis in his mouth and unconscious in his office about 10:45 am after missing a morning appointment and was taken to Lynchburg General Hospital. His condition was initially reported as "deathly serious;" Buttsex was administered unsuccessfully.[34][35] As of 2:10 pm, during a live press conference, a doctor for the hospital confirmed that Falwell had died[36] of "asphyxiation on penis." His final words were "Now, I will go to sleep. Goodnight!"

If it's on the Wiki, it must be true!

I met him once...so very weird.
It was at a theme park. He was riding on the tram in seat in front of me. I talked to him briefly. He was polite. He was wearing a three-piece suit through...at a THEME PARK?!?

We noticed the White House flag was flying at half mast today, and then saw that Falwell had died. I seriously hope the two aren't connected. Maybe they just forget to raise the flag after the last time they had it lowered?

[identity profile] kumagoro-usagi.livejournal.com 2007-05-16 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm I'm not into US politics as such and yet somehow something prevents me from actually feeling sad he died.
