#myozobituary for Not Me. : )

One for everybody!

@CountSnarkula Braggin' an ass ya' could see thru stained glass, Tj died takin' a bullet for PoTUS--mostly to annoy in-laws. #ozobituary

 

@thatpooja Lived in San Fran, so prob-ly did some cool lesbo stuff. Oh, we hear she worked for (or with?) secretaries of state. #ozobituary

Vidhya's:

tribal leaders rightly asked, "who married this stubborn ♀?" as she wrote multimillion $ grants to aid their villages. (4vidhya) #ozobituary

 

Rachel's: 

 

Like all ♀, would've benefited from hysterectomy to control hysteria, instead stole ♂s' jobs, performing hysterectomies. (4sis) #ozobituary

Thought that the obit tweets that followed this story were funny​:

http://thinkprogress.org/culture/2015/01/30/3617592/sexist-obituary-acclaimed-novelist-goes-viral/

"In Friday’s edition of the Australian, the bestselling author of The Thorn Birds – which sold 30m copies worldwide – is remembered as “plain of feature, and certainly overweight, [but] nevertheless a woman of wit and warmth” in the first paragraph."

 
In the manner of the funny tweets that I retweeted, I wanted to come up with something about how phat I am and how much I love cats, like:

Warned by her much-deserved bullies that no suitor would ever marry such a disorganized ​woman​, she ensnared the 1st ​sucker ​to overlook her vegetarianism.

Rest in peas & try not to be disappointed when it rains bacon-bits in heaven, ya' overrated dagger-cozy. #myozobituary

and

Uppity cow forced recataloging of her horseshit book under her actual name instead of her ♂'s name, though the spine remains (rightfully) his. 

Glad we won't see that See Ya' Next Tuesday --- on any day, ever again. 

Because she's dead. 

#myozobituary

Had to shorten my tweets to:

Ensnared 1st ♂ to overlook her vegetarianism.
Rest in peas. 

BTW, it rains bacon bits in heaven, ya' overrated dagger-cozy.
#myozobituary

and 

 Forced a cataloger to recatalog her crap book to reflect her name, not her ♂'s.
Spine remains in her ♂'s name.
Ding-Dong.

David & I in VanityFair.com: "Hug Life: Four Days in a Hello Kitty Convention Tattoo Parlor"

i didn't know that the event today would put the "con" in hello kitty con. sanrio looks like rainbows & kittens --- until seemingly free (@ $500 value) tattoos appear to be involved. we: drove there the day before to prep (get our badges.); then, woke up at 4am; next, had to wait in line for 4 hours; then, had to run like it was hunger games at 10am to wait in another line for an hour, but only if we were lucky, which we were. then, get treated like crap by a bitchy girl who told us everything we'd been told by the convention people up until her was all wrong. no more 3-hour tattoos. pick a quickie. that bitchy lady was even mean to a really sweet deaf girl. (well, the tattoo people still put three hours+ total into our two tattoos.) anyway, we waited in ten more lines, found food, but then our hard-earned grub had

​ human​

hair in it... all was getting progressively worse. darkest before the dawn... finally, we met our tattoo artists & started getting inked. now, we are among the @ 100 (or so) people with the best souvenirs of the first hello kitty con of all of the 30,000 or so attendees! (

​the first pic attached was the 3-hour sugar skull [calavarita] tattoo we wanted, but couldn't get:)

And it wasn’t just women in the ink seat. David Starkey, an already heavily tattooed radiation tech, who, like Kitty, turned 40 over the weekend, got a Hello Kitty take on a traditional swallow piece. His wife, Monique Delatte, the true Sanrio fan in the family, got a tugboat Kitty on her foot.
