Re: Chamber says "Die Local!"

[Dram]

I'm going to reply and then make a new thread on Dermisted beetles.

My quirking nature always has this odd take on problems where it becomes the mother of invention...as a developing segue to funereal process, I have wondered whether I should show up at Sebastopol city council meeting to promote a new concept for road kill and that would be a community receptacle for those people who feel a twinge driving over a dead animal.

That receptacle is a Demisted beetle tank where the flesh is eaten away and the bones are cleaned down for the next bath of disinfecting and cleaning.

From there as they mount up and become available for interesting bone art, and at your local hardware you could buy very cheaply glove suits, stimulating the economy, you just wrapped the creature in and then deposited it in the tank.. And so the Segue to the funereal difficulty. In olden days people liked keeping their loved ones bones near to them, they would take them out yearly to redress them and remember, and architecture accommodated this. So rather than graveyards, or incinerators, keep yor loved ones close to the bone...


Chamber of Commerce unveils newest program: Die Local! <o:p></o:p>
In the ongoing effort to support local businesses, the newest promotional program in <st1:place w:st="on">Sebastopol</st1:place> will focus on the dead and almost dead.

Why not die local?
<o:p></o:p>
If you are going to die, then why not do it in a way that fosters and supports the local economy? Think of it this way – when you die local, you usually are buried, cremated or dumped somewhere locally. Local businesses make money when you die!!! And the infrastructure death provides is enormously beneficial to our local economy! Folks will be buying local foods to make all of those horrid casseroles they foist onto grieving survivors. Not to mention the local flowers needed, the sympathy cards, fancy new outfits, and more. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
One chamber staffer claims that the original name for the program was “Die Out Sebastopol” adding; “But we realized rather quickly that that sent a message of mass extinction, which really wasn’t the intention of this whole ‘Go Local’ thing we are doing”.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
So if you are planning on a visit from Death in the very near future; think progressive, think <st1:place w:st="on">Sebastopol</st1:place>, and Die Local!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The Chamber also needs an army of volunteers – zombies preferred.<o:p></o:p>
While we are on the subject of the dead and dying, the Sebastopol Area Chamber of Commerce is also looking for zombie volunteers to help staff its Visitor Center. A friendly, helpful attitude, and knowledge of Sebastopol and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">West</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">County</st1:placetype></st1:place> cemeteries are a plus, but more importantly, is a mindless zombie-like ability to perform any task given to you while shuffling across that cute little room they have on <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">South Main Street</st1:address></st1:street>...<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The Chamber also needs a “cadaver” of volunteers to help work on numerous community and Chamber events such as our new “Die Local” program. For more information you could call Executive Director Teresa Ramondo, but then she might get really really mad at us, so maybe you shouldn’t let her know about this at all…<o:p></o:p>

Bone chapels are scattered around Europe. Here's my favorite: The Chapel Decorated With Human Bones (https://www.secondose.com/the-chapel-decorated-with-human-bones/)
