The Greatest Obituary of All Time (going out in style or at least with both guns blazing)

[deejaydana]

This really made me laugh. Can't imagine having the stones (or lack of respect) to actually go out like this guy did but, well, we all have our own views:

Michael “Flathead” Blanchard, a Colorado citizen and community activist, died this week at the age of 68 — but we sure wish we could have known him when he was alive.

Blanchard’s obituary in the Denver Post is probably the greatest thing you will read all day:

“Mike wanted it known that he died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors’ orders and raising hell for more than six decades. He enjoyed booze, guns, cars and younger women until the day he died.” The obit continues to say that Blanchard was an avid Republican and NRA member.

He also takes jabs at some of his former friends from the grave: “So many of [blanchard's] childhood friends that weren’t killed in Vietnam went on to become criminals, prostitutes and/or Democrats. He asks that you stop by and re-tell the stories he can no longer tell.”

The last line of the obituary reads: “As the Celebration will contain Adult material we respectfully ask that no children under 18 attend.”

Sounds very similar to what mine will likely read.

Kinda of scary actually.

This guy liked booze and strippers?!? Damn, he was just like me!

I fully intend to write my own eulogy, and have it read by a good friend. The way I live, I better get started.
