For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

He and Guliani were big time favorites going into the 2008 POTUS race and neither made it past the first few primaries. :lol:

You know Hunt for Red October was a really good movie, like, it was built out of good poo poo.

Fred Thompson was good in a small role, and so was Sam Neil and Scott Glenn and it was rad

I am going to go watch that poo poo.

That entire election cycle was ridiculous. Had a few uncomfortable conversations with people who thought Thompson was the right man for the job. Ended up losing to McCain. Losing. To McCain. What a pathetic swansong.

Every time I put together IKEA poo poo, Hunt For The Red October must play in the background. Watched that movie 30 times this decade.

Thank you Fred. The blue dresser was a two October build.

I always enjoyed how he sugarcoated death in those reverse mortgage commercials as "leaving the home," as in "the loan is repaid when the last person leaves the home"

Godspeed on your next destination after leaving the home, Fred Thompson

Reverse mortgages are the perfect way to siphon off that one last bit of tangible wealth so that nothing is left behind but a bill for the funeral and the gravestone.

Glad he's dead

You're basically betting that you'll die before you run out of home equity. Oh and if you end up in a home and don't die right away, you could lose the house anyway.

they should have variable rate reverse mortgages so you can charge the bank 4 times the value of your house the same way those fuckers do

The funeral home gets all rights to her body and will do all sorts of sick poo poo to it and then send the collection agency after you.

Pro tip: If no one formally claims the body (and they can't force you to even though they will use bullshit threats that they can), the morgue is stuck with disposing of it.

Seriously. I'm not trying to be a dick but nobody can force you to pay for your relative's death or debts. Even if that means they end up in pauper's grave or whatever. Once you're dead, your dead. What's left of you is nothing but flesh and bone. Don't let anyone guilt you into thinking otherwise.

:edit:
If you're married to the deceased, you're on the hook for financial poo poo. Sucks to be you.

Also, I don't say this as an autistic excuse to get out of chipping in for someone you actually loved and you can afford it. Try to be a decent human being and figure this out ahead of time. If they die suddenly, well poo poo happens. Work with your family to try and figure it out.
