If you’re presenting twice, do we say “break both legs”? Anyway, remember to save the best Ole and Lena joke for last.

@wjcstp I guess wishing her "knock 'em dead" may be a bit questionable at this particular conference, too.

I'm just here to make a slay them joke.

You look great. Rock it.
wjcstp pro 1 year ago
@GroggyGrognard It’s a pretty serious conference, lots of grave discussions.

I don't drink anymore, but, if there were a bar where obituary writers drink, I might reconsider
tweedlydo pro 1 year ago
@thelonius sad thing is, most funeral directors don't even love or even respect the obituary as a piece of writing. i'm trying really hard to change that. and re: obit writers drinking, i like to refer to obits as "the whiskey of writing" because they are so beautifully concentrated when done well. (and that makes obit writers human distilleries!)

@tweedlydo In 1993 I saw this obit in the NYT:

"David Fleay, 85, Whose Speciality Was The Platypus"
(https://www.nytimes.com/1993...)

...and I thought that was a beautiful headline (so much so that I remember that phrase all these years later, well enough to search it). That made me start to notice the obituaries; when I read one about a man who had invented the singly-wrapped slice of cheese; I was hooked.

@thelonius if you haven't read them, i'd highly recommend:
https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Bea...
and
https://www.amazon.com/York-Tim...
and this amazon search makes me want to read:
https://www.amazon.com/Last-Wor...
and
https://www.amazon.com/Obit-Ins...
