Mundane! Pointless! I need to share my Death Panel costume failure!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Alright, I have to admit that I was enamored by this pre-Halloween discussion of awesome costumes, and I shamelessly stole the “Death Panelist” idea from the Teeming Millions. However, the retail outlets around here were peddling simple grim reaper’s robes at incredibly high prices, so that component was out. More shockingly, however, I could not find a single Obama campaign sticker ANYWHERE in this bastion of liberal America; I guess this honeymoon thing is over, eh?

Now, I did spend a little time making my death application form, but unfortunately the party I was at was a little too dark, a little too loud, and a little too drunk for anyone to take more than a passing glance at it. So, now I’m in the mood for a bit of self-indulgent wankery!

Comments! Criticisms! Shamelessly steal it for next year’s health care debate!

Nice! An actual form!

I did something similar, I made a sign up sheet for the Federal Health Care Plan. The sign up sheet had an enrollement paragraph describing how all your health care expenses would be payed by the government, but all your health care choices would now be made by the new Health Care Plan Board. Then I mention that the board has the obligation to deal efficiently with the country’s money and that all their decisions were binding and final, including any “end of life” care options.

I wore a doctor’s coat and stethoscope, and carried a container of pills* that take away all your troubles.

  • They were tic tacs. They look like pills.

I would have voted for you to win. The death panel costume would have killed at the bar I went to.

Sorry for the shameless pun.
