It said 1-3 week wait. The Big Guy

A piece of cardboard with bulbs taped to it?
 

Actually, this laughingstock of a post provided an inspiration.

Upon reading it, I googled for images of "lighted tombstone," "electric tombstone," "neon tombstone," "illuminated tombstone," and somesuch, coming up dry.  There were images, but not of anything I was thinking about.

I was thinking of a tombstone where the name is outlined in little lights.

Apparently such a thing doesn't exist, and I'm wondering if (a) I was the first person to come up with the idea and (b) it has any potential market demand.

As kitschy as the big baloney is, I could very well see him demanding his wife poor dear Marta get such a thing for his own gravesite.....when he.....finally.....at long last.....terminalizes.

It looks like you happened onto that million dollar idea!

There's some sort of tombstone LED thing out there. Saw something about it years ago

     That can easily be reconfigured to read 'boobies'.

One could create a lot of traffic . . . "incidents" with that.

The only problem is it would be the Big Guy's boobies that it would be advertising.  He looks like he sports ad least a d-cup.

Steve will need a manseirre for his funeral suit, or else his moobs will flop up over his neckbeard and cover his face.

Pretty sure just a few weeks ago they were up in arms about Christmas lights and first world waste. What changed?

I would like to know how much of the sign is made by union workers and is that plug-in sign UL approved? And after all of the material and liability insurance costs are paid, how much $$$ goes to the Bernsier?

Let's see ...

Probably none.

UL approval probably could not have been obtained this quickly.

  Liability insurance? Surely you jest!

You mean that if one of those yard signs shorts out, catches fire and then the whole porch becomes a flaming inferno, the homeowner will have to suck it up?

No, that can't be. This is Bernies Buddies, the most responsible people oriented folks on the planet.

Thanks; that's more along the lines of which I was thinking.

But since it's the big baloney, he'd have to have the lights brighter and more colorful so it outshines everything else in the cemetery; it'd have to be garish and kitschy.

Even though this has drawn nothing but apathy from the primitives, I've been obsessed all day, about this idea of lighted tombstones, wholly inspired by the big baloney's posting of this topic.

Getting a free sign, poking small holes in it and using a string of last seasons christmas lights, or even the 99 cent clearance lights from walmart, is a bit complex for most DUmmies. And way way too complicated for the big guy.

covering his face would be an improvement

I've been away, but that doesn't mean I've not been thinking.

The big guy has a little granddaughter on whom he dotes a great deal.

However, he's likely to terminalize--if he keeps his promise--too soon for her to have any lasting impression of him.

So a visit to grandpa at the cemetery has got to be made interesting for the little one.

(a) a lighted tombstone, with STEVEN L. DAWES in blinking multi-colored lights, (b) a musical tombstone, churning out the 1890s dance hall tune, "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-re!," and (c) something like how a cuckoo clock works, little figurines of 1890s dance-hall girls kicking up their heels as they move, conveyor-belt-like, across the arch of the top of the tombstone.

That'd cheer up the little one, and encourage her to visit grandpa at the cemetery more often.

The only problem being money; with the lights alone, that's apparently circa $2500 for the tombstone, and I'm sure the music and action would more than double the cost.

I thought that the big guy was busy consulting to solve Flint Michigan's drinking water problem.

[Airwolf]

It would be a hoot if that sign would catch fire later on in the springtime when the grass is dry from from lack of water before the spring rains come. I can imagine the Bellevue police asking OS questions about his cheap ass Chinese made sign burning up half of his neighborhood.
