Everything Old Is New Again

Yes, yes, the Inquirer's story about Phillies caskets. You've all sent me links to this, posted it to your own blogs, whatever.

I remember this story, when I wrote about it in October 2006. Oh, so now the company is going to have caskets in addition to urns. (They've sold 50 urns, apparently.) I know that everything is old to me nowadays, since I read the entire Internet every day, but I am apparently so far ahead of the curve on sports-related burial news.

Or, you know, maybe it is shocking that company offering sports urns would then move to begin offering sports caskets. I do agree it is shocking that one of the eight teams selected for the first line of caskets is a Philadelphia one, though.

On a side note, what's getting really annoying is people telling you they've already seen something when you show it to them. That's so 1998.

Update: My mom writes in with an editorial correction: "No, no. You're wrong. A team that consistently kills you every year is the perfect one to offer caskets and urns." She's right.
