SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
The Song Challenge: It's the
Great 2000 Booga Booga Halloween Challenge! Get your
holey sheets and brooms out for: Drop-Dead Decor (Terre Haute,
Indiana) -- An online company is digging for Halloween business with a line of
furniture that would make the Addams Family envious. Your Coffin Company builds
and sells coffins to consumers eager to give their home decor a distinctive
flair. The company has devised 101 uses for the average wooden coffin -- aside
from the usual purpose -- including as a coffee table, wine rack, bookshelf and
entertainment center. "We decided ... this was the ultimate conversation
piece. We have a motto that you should get to know your coffin before you're
buried in it," said Brad Miller, co-owner of the online company. The
coffins, made from oak or maple wood, start at $389 for a basic, no-frills
model. Miller said their web site averages about 50,000 visitors a day, some of
whom have sought phone booth coffins and even coffin beds. (Click

I'm Decomposin' by Bardford
(Tune: Ain't Misbehavin')
No sun to warm me
All by myself
No fun before me
Cuz' I'm buried in my own bookshelf
I bought it online
Before I bought the farm
The final curtain
Rolled down upon me
But I ain't hurtin'
Check out this upholstery!
I'm decomposin'
buried in my own armoire
All those mourners
And the coroner
Slackjawed they stare
What do I care?
Laid out in a bad suit in my own
End table
Fine fabrication
Hate to ruin it
But it's disintegration
For me and my entertainment unit
I'm six foot under
Goin' offline for good
