Dead Man's Party

Tim Knight from Slope of Hope's picture




 

About five blocks from my house is the residence of Marissa Mayer, the CEO of Yahoo who is famous for being employee #7 at Google, very smartvery vain, and (mildly) good-looking. At the midpoint between our two houses is a funeral home which, oddly, she decided to buy a couple of years ago.........

1029-buyfuneral

 I've long wondered what on earth she planned to do with the place, which is right across the street from Addison Elementary School. Well, it turns out she thought it would be a cool place to host a party now and then (I guess if you have a nine-figure net worth, buying an $11 million funeral home just to lost the occasional party is an option). Here's a posting on the Palo Alto Online web site............

1029-bash

Of course, people in the neighborhood were not that thrilled with all the revelry, and some folks, understandably, thought that converting a funeral home (which had been the site for thousands of people to bid their final farewell to their dearly departed) into a party shack was not in the best of taste.........

1029-pissed

I tell you, the Silicon Valley is just getting weirder and weirder. I'm seeing things I've never seen before in the thirty years that I've lived here, including this utterly bizarre stunt. Signs of the times, people. Signs of the times.

It's a buyer's market; if you've got the $$ to buy.  I've got a little place I'd be willing to sell her for the right price.

This gal is cool!  She should let carnies over-winter and set up their rides on her property, that would fucking ROCK!   Host "freak week" for all those African American motorcyclists, hire KFC and Schlitz to cater. 

The "concerned mom" email listed is just an example of fucking malaise.  "My childrens grandfather laid in state at the funeral home in Red-Dick, Oklahoma".  If dying is so fucking special, why do we all get to do it?

It's like all those crosses with plastic flowers stuck along the road where somebody was driving with their head up their ass and up and got themselves killed.  Or the white trash rolling memorials to my cousin-husband J.T.  that have replaced the "Calvin pissing on _" in the back windows of 1997 Monte Carlos. 

Grief and Mourning have become hobbies and professions?  Go tell your "friends" on facebook all about it.  Or better yet, post it on here so we can make fun of it.

That young lady looks pretty enough to me and so Aryan that even der Fuhrer wouldn't checkinzee her papers.  Even if she isn't a good public speaker, she must be smart too or wouldn't be a big company CEO, even if it's Yahoo.  The funeral home Halloween party shows she even has a sense of humor.  Throw in a few hundred million FeRNs and I'm already getting a huge woody.

Perhaps if I put on my tuxedo with orange bow tie & cumberbund and hand the driver of the longest stretch limo parked in front of the whiner's driveway a hundred FeRNs to drop me off in front of the mortuary, then act pissed when he drives off with my invitation after I just flew all the way from Hawaii...

Mayer went to the right schools, got the right papers and pedigrees,

then she dated Larry Page in the early days of Google.

 

if she didn't date Larry when she did, would she have ever been put in charge of anything that allowed her to eventually end up in the position she is in today? or would she just be another employee at google because she'd have to actually prove her worth through some other channel to move up the ladder?

Understood ... I read that as well. She says she is currently non-religeous. You want to know the funny thing, I could have sworn that at the time she got Yahoo job, she was referred to as being jewish. Well, my memory is often faulty and I make many misteaks (sic).

... and she did get the job instead of Levinsohn... who is probably also Lutheran or maybe Methodist (lol).

She seems to have done a lot to write her own history as a quiet, brilliant person who was just given things because she was so wonderful.

To the anti-Semite, racist, bigot, ignorant asshole:

Please just die. Kill yourself. End the suffering that your parents and your parole officer deal with every waking moment. Relief yourself. Disappear. Cease to exist. Expire. Get a deadly disease. Die painfully and slowly. Leave your worldly possessions (nothing) to a charity to laugh at your pathetic memory.

Start now. Bleed it out. Don't stop. Remember. Your life is totally and utterly worthless. You have no soul. Your corpse will rot, slowly. Your energy will be absorbed by the universe and disintegrate. Your pathetic, empty, boring, oh so boring, and sad, oh so sad, existence will just vanish.

And no one will care that you are gone. No one.

So let's talk about racism. Is it a one-way street? Or a two-way street? Are there any non-Christians who actively discriminate against Christians? Should they be subject to the same "death command" you just gave some guy?

Is your "death command" racist? Is that how you want to fight racism, by wishing death on people?

Really? Let the woman throw a party for Christ's sake.  Who gives a flying fuck if the place used to be a mortuary? Some people have mortuaries in their homes, does that mean all of their children were conceived there in poor taste too? This article belongs in The National Equirer.

Just another average jew who got her job because of her jew connections. I remember some of her early speeches at Yahoo, she sounded as if her head would collapse in on itself because of the vacuum inside. Maybe she is better now. I do not know.

Internet high fliers, Wall Street, the State department are full of them.

It would be anti-semetic (actually anti-jew, not anti-semetic because most jews are not semites) if it was not true and I was bashing them because of it. But it is what it is. I would never fight it because I do not want to be them or be like them.

Ok, so how she got her job is a complete mystery. Oh, right, dated Larry Page.

I suspect there may be other reasons. According to an article or two, Jerry Yang fought the NSA tapping into Yahoo's network and stealing people's information and communications. Yahoo's stock was depressed and Jerry was Poo Pooed by the media, maybe for this reason.

Ms. Mayer, being of Google, which many have proposed was created by the NSA (or relatives) in the first place (same with Facebook) and simply handed off to trustworthies to manage, would likely have brought THAT culture with her, taking the money, freeing up access to those who can't mind their own business ... which was then coincident with Yahoo's stock price going up.

Funny world ... ha, ha.

Maybe she's a necrophiliac? Wouldn't be the first "large and in charge" with something weird going on. Word on Hitler was his only true love was turned off (for some odd reason?) by the fact that he wanted her to beat him constantly.

Too bad for Germany she didn't take him up on the offer actually...

I know you're joking, right?

I mean, if that's her picture you included in the story, I must state that you have extremely poor taste in women.

Bitch is a fucking hag-in-waiting. Her mom probably breaks mirrors by looking at them! 38 with the 68-year-old wrinkles on her face, hanging arm-fat, and knobby bony joints; her crow's feet look like a map of the D.C. metro area.

"Who does this kind of absurd stuff except psychopaths." A question?

SOCIOPATHS.

Psycopaths have a conscience but cant seem to obey it. They do things like mass murders, and then end up killing themselves because they feel guilt.

Sociopaths have NO conscience. They do things because they don't care about anyone else, and when people suffer and die, they get delight and glee from their 'power' over others.

Sociopaths seem to get a base sexual kick from causing strife. Psychopaths are still striving for the sexual satisfaction (but they never find it).

Sociopaths aren't bothered by their actions; ever; at all. Psycopaths usually end up as insane before taking their lives (or causing their lives to be taken in an act of what they think is 'self-sacrifice').

Tim's neighbor had a block party, but seemed to forget to invite her neighbors on the block. At a mortuary. Where dead people are bled out and gutted before burial.

Tim's neighbor isn't 'absurd' She's a SICK BITCH.

It would do no good to call the police, because the police are in her pocket. And the mayor. And the governor. Her sick, rank, skank-dripping pocket.

Shit happens sometimes, though.

Sometimes there's just no explanation for it. Planes crash without reason, and drivetrains eject themselves from automobiles, and buildings fall into their own footprint at freefall speed, and healthy middle-aged journalists suffer sudden heart attacks.

Nail-guns have taken the lives of more bankers than terrorism has. I guess they just 'go off' for no reason. Tall buildings without bannisters on their porches seem to be an issue for careless people of all stripes. Mortuaries are filled with all kinds of chemicals that are used in the embalming process (many of which are highly flammable). No-knock raids with flash-bang grenades thrown into the cribs of infants, and 78-year-olds subjected to armed military raids in the name of a codification of an Admiralty Fiat Law, and subhumans who grope your wife and daughters in the name of 'protection' and all kinds of other things happen in REAL LIFE.

Not for this BITCH, though. I shall call her 'Number Seven'.

A forgotten song from Iron Maiden:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZlDZPYzfm4

Take the hint.

There is no 'middle ground'. The neighbors flee, and the bitch gets it all. The neighbors do nothing, and the bitch denegrades the neighborhood. The neighbors whine and pule to the 'authorities', and the bitch gets laws passed that outlaw protests. It's a 'win-lose' situation, no matter what peaceful avenues you explore. Are there perhaps other avenues to be considered? Having exhausted all avenues of civil recourse, are there other avenues that might be effective?

Well, FUCK. Tim is in fucking KALIFORNICATIA. So are YOU, I would presume. You'll all 'just get along', I suppose. Too much to be lost, and too much treasure to continue to try to hoard, to go out on a limb and all.

Illegal Aliens use firearms in acts of murder every fucking day in SoCal, and do so without any thought of retribution. What are YOU gonna do; call the cops to turn them over to to courts and put them in 'prisons' and POSSIBLY have them 'GASP' DEPORTED so they can come back up NEXT FUCKING WEEK through the OBOLABORDERS and kill YOU (who ratted on them)?

The BITCH helps FUND this shit. Political action committees, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and all kinds of shit like that. Bike lanes, and solar panels, and DEATH PANELS, and ignoring the Fukushima radiation, and saving the whales for Jesus Christ, and ALL KINDS of 'philanthropic' shit. Hell, throwing a block party in a mortuary is fucking MILD to her.

Appreciate the response, Mr. Scott. Agreed on all points. I was being mild (and using the incorrect -path prefix too, according to the shown distinction), but you said it with the right verbage. Since we're using grown up language, I would say SICK BITCH is an understatement. PERVERTED FUCK is more of what I see.

always important to make the distinction between sociopath and pyschopath:

psychopath are conscious of what they are doing is wrong, and they do what they do through an conscious effort. ie, when a psychopath is lying to you, he is both aware he's lying and also actively crafting the lie. and they know what they are doing is wrong or unacceptable, but just don't care or feel any guilt.

sociopath are not conscious of what they are doing is wrong, and they do what they do automatically as second nature, unconsciously. ie when a sociopath is lying to you, more often than not, they are actually convinced their version of lies, which just happens to be beneficial to them, is actually true. they also have an (again, unconscious) ability to tune out and apply an double-standards system that's one for everyone else and one for themselves, so in their own mind they never did anything wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hameau_de_la_Reine

 

"The Hameau de la Reine (French pronunciation: ?[amo d? la ??n], The Queen's Hamlet) is a rustic retreat in the park of the Château de Versailles built for Marie Antoinette in 1783 near the Petit Trianon in the Yvelines, France. It served as a private meeting place for the Queen and her closest friends, a place of leisure. Designed by the Queen's favoured architect, Richard Mique and with the help of the painter Hubert Robert, it contained a meadowland with lakes and streams, a classical Temple of Love on an island with fragrant shrubs and flowers, an octagonal belvedere, with a neighbouring grotto and cascade. There are also various buildings in a rustic or vernacular style, inspired by Norman or Flemish design, situated around an irregular pond fed by a stream that turned the mill wheel.[1] The building scheme included a farmhouse, (the farm was to produce milk and eggs for the queen), a dairy, a dovecote, a boudoir, a barn that was burned down during the French Revolution, a mill and a tower in the form of a lighthouse. Each building is decorated with a garden, an orchard or a flower garden. The largest and most famous of these houses is the "Queen's House" that is connected to the Billiard house by a wooden gallery, at the center of the village."

But that was a place that truly meant something.

Louis XIVth ran all of Europe from there. That became the actual seat of Government....more important than Paris itself.

Modernity just simply phucking sucks. Maybe the White House...and the Lincoln Memorial...Statue of Liberty is pretty cool too. But they serve only to remind me how weak, corrupt and just plain lost...perhaps the USA has always been?

Whatever happen to our common sense? Everything is all out of proportion to what in fact is.
