...or snagging a really slick buffet table?

Discount caskets rock.

One of my favorite bars EVER had wooden caskets as large tables and manhole covers welded to steel pipe as small two-person cafe tables. Add the Ramones blaring at 2pm on a weekday afternoon and I was in love with the place as soon as I walked in the door.

Sounds SWEET. Must have been a bitch to move those tables. :D

I liked the 'platinum' look one myself - of course, I'd probably get one and sandblast any coating off of it to give it a nice raw metal look. :)

The small ones were bolted into the floor so I have no idea, but the caskets were Boot Hill-style plank coffins and not too bad. Not that hefty. Churchill's, as I recall, in Austin TX.

A guy I worked with in Windows ('93-'95) once told me his mother had picked out her casket, and was using it in the family room as a coffee table. Apparently, she was going to have the casket filled with honey after she was inside, for the preservative effect.

Exactly *why* he felt I needed to know this, I never discovered.

When I interviewed with him in '03, he had essentially forgotten all about me--he didn't even recognize me. And yet I knew this thing about his mother.

And now, so do you. :)

Shouldn't caskets be in the department *opposite* to Health and Wellness?

Yeah, I noticed that too. OTOH, what's it gonna hurt? :D
