Men of Mortuaries
Inspired, I suspect, by the daring librarians of Waupaca, a bunch of morticians have put together a "Men of Mortuaries" beefcake calendar to benefit breast cancer patients.

I was kind of hoping they'd all be wearing top hats and leaning on the hoods of hearses, but the calendar appears to depict these hunky shirtless morticians engaged in their favorite non-death related pursuits.
The whole thing is actually far less creepy than that Italian coffin-maker's site that uses Eurotrash bikini models to advertise its products. You may remember this as being a well-known "weird thing on the Web" site a couple of years back. I see the (probably not safe for work) page is still up at:
http://www.cofanifunebri.com/product.htm
It seems only the "Fashion line coffins" get to have bikini models in their photos. I see from the page that this site now also offers a calendar of its coffin girls. I have to say, I think the Waupaca librarians were more appealing. Miss October here looks suspiciously like Ozzy Osbourne.
PS: The rejection counter moved up from 55 to 56 because of me. The University of Illinois at Chicago has apparently decided to close their search without hiring anyone. And it only took them five months to let me know!

First, Kelly, nice tags. Second, I live in a town where there are no single men and at this point I'm all for shirtless men. Despite that, that first link creeped the crap out of me. Do. Not. Want.
At least you know a man like that would take care of even after "till death do you part." I wonder how they found those guys?
But what I am even more shocked is by the second link. The only places I found where they featured almost-porn stars posing with coffins (what a strange sentence!) is in the fashion coffin section, cos, you know, only the sexy people get the fashion coffins.
Eek, ugh, blah.
thanks for keeping the blog alive!
I like to think I'm keeping the blog undead.
MWA HA HA HA HA!
I love the fact that you can get copies of the coffin calendar from as far back as 2003. Because that's something you'd definitely want to archive!
