When I Die, Celebrate My Life at Wendy's

Rate: 13 Flag
Yes, that's right--Wendy's. I figure I've spent so much time there while alive (actually, I've spent so much time in the drive thru while alive), that I should have a funeral there, too.
At the agreed-upon time, people should converge on the Wendy's and order the number 4 combo (the Baconator), preferably with a Caesar side salad and water, though in moments of extreme distress, sweet tea is fine. Those out-of-town should rush to their local Wendy's at the same time and can keep up with the proceedings via cell phone.
People can sit at whatever tables they wish, but they should leave a center table empty so that any funeral goer who wishes to share a memory can have a central location to do so.  For example:
"I met her on Craigslist in the adult ad sect---This-uhjuicyburger--sorry---we went out a few times.  If I'd uh known she would die so soon, I would've taken her some place more expensive, like La Quinta."
                                               
In further tribute to me, people may wish to appopriate my habits, if only for a day.  Some will just eat in their cars in the parking lot, because they can't be bothered to go inside.  Also, there is no reason to dispose of your Wendy's bag and drink in a garbage can when you can just throw it in the floor of your car.
If you wish to extend the celebration to the place I once lived, extra fries can be pushed at my dogs through the chain link fence.  Make them take turns.  Also, I sometimes make the neighbors wonder by sitting in my car in our driveway and watching the cats climb my windshield to my roof (I can't afford a glass bottom boat, but I can pretend I'm watching lions on safari).  Then I feed them fries through my window.
But, no one can leave Wendy's without doing the funeral salute.  This involves all the cars circling Wendy's and honking in unison.  And everyone should put at least a quarter in the Dave Thomas adoption fund.  It is only right.
So, there is my plan on how I want to be remembered.  Someone may want to fling my ashes on the little mulchy area near the drive thru speakers, and if so, let it be done.  Weep not, my friends, for I'll have gone to that great burger joint in the sky.  Do not be surprised if you catch a glimpse of me in your chocolate frosty.

A cousin of mine wanted to see this in its original form on the blog, not just through email. :) I had taken it down.
This may start a chain of similar posts. When I die celebrate my life with frozen pizza's.
This sound more a celebration of life; very lively. Wendy's should raise a monument for you.

I shall attend, but I'm sorry I simply will not eat the Baconator. Someone else may have my portion. May you rest in peace.
Can I celebrate your death in advance tomorrow for lunch?
Yes, please feel free to celebrate my life early.
Throwing away the bacon?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOO!! I'd pack my bags too!! :D
That's funny because, the mall near where I live, is full of retired people, hanging out in the food court every single day. Ya gotta wonder, when they die, will they come back to haunt the mall? Wow, scary... and sad!
If we all do it together at the word "Go" will it jump start the economy you think?? Good stuff then!
Smart and funny. Nice writing. Perfect for a rainy Sunday. Thank you. The Redskins win, the Saints win...after reading this I just might break into a smile.

haha. Nice. I am glad you did not forget about Dave Thomas adoption fund. You are generous even after your death.
Wendy's is the only fast-food I can stomach. I'll be there for your funeral -- if I don't die first -- and I'll sing that old Beach Boys tune in your honor

Wendy ... Wendy, oh what went wrong?
We went together for so long

Followed by several verses of that traditional folk song Delia's Gone

Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life
If I hadn't have shot poor
Delia I'd have had her for my wife
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

I went up to Memphis
And I met Delia there Found her in her parlor
And I tied to her chair
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

She was low down and trifling
And she was cold and mean
Kind of evil make me want to Grab my sub machine
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

First time I shot her I shot her in the side
Hard to watch her suffer
But with the second shot she died
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

But jailer, oh, jailer Jailer,
I can't sleep 'Cause all around my bedside
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

So if you woman's devilish
You can let her run
Or you can bring her down and do her
Like Delia got done
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

For my efforts on your behalf, I expect payment in Frosty's non-dairy, non-nutritive, slap 'em on your sides, fake shakes
Delia, Wendy's is kind of far from me. If you would just change it to Mickey D's, I'm there!!
R~~
Shoot for the moon, girl!! Go to the Olive Garden and get the salad. Then I'm there, drunk on sweet wine, and weeping your too early demise over chicken alfredo.
I swore 'em off for good, and I won't go back, not even for you, baby. I done left that life behind.
Delia ... I see what you are up to. You want me to suck down those 2000 calories and then join you in death so we can make trouble up around the stars!
alot easier than my mother's last wishes...
involving
hauling her damn ashes to the shore
and sprinkling them in the clam chowder...

so yeah, i am up for it...
