    Both of you are overloading context with assumptions.

    One should not seek complicated explanations when a
    simple explanation is sufficient. (Occam's razor.)

    When Chefly says "When's the last time you had your

    he simply thinks Bryan is ugly, and might benefit
    from slathering his face with volcanic mud and
    placing cucumber slices over his eyes.

    it depends upon the cemetary, some do offer green
    versions which don't have a coffin, you can have a
    simple shroud.

    also if your local township and county will allow
    it you can be buried on your own land. just depends.

    I haven't had any cheap box wines in the last 10 years but I recall
    that the cheap red wines were usually better than the whites.  I don't >>> know why.  I'm sure Uncle Tojo or Chef Bryan knows.  They know pretty >>> much everything.

    One thing I know almost nothing about is wines. As discriminating as I
    am about food--and beer--I don't much like any wines other than dessert
    wines. Wine, to me, is mostly an alcohol delivery vehicle that I drink
    every so often. When I do, it's typically the $3.98 Shiraz from ALDI.

    Years ago, when I was hardcore into drinking, if I felt like getting
    really hammered, it was super cheap Chablis, like the 4 liters of Carlo
    Rossi, or 3 liters of Gallo.


    Did you ever get bombed on MD2020 Chef?

    No, he partied like it was 1999



    And there's also pure grain alcohol, like everclear that should work
    well for you. Some winos also like to swig a little paregoric with
    their booze.

    Yes, you can be buried on your own property in Michigan, but it is
    not as simple as digging a grave. It requires establishing a private
    family burial ground, which involves zoning approval, local health
    department permits, and registering the site with the county.
    The land must be properly surveyed, described in a deed, and
    recorded.
