Earlier this week, Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones announced that he once snorted a mixture of his father's ashes and cocaine. Richards and his publicist later claimed that he was just kidding. But if he did snort his dad, would that have been unhealthy?

Only if he made a habit of it. There are diseases and conditions that can occur from getting small particles in your lungs, but they develop after repeated exposure—for instance, coal miner's lung occurs after years of breathing in coal dust. Experts say Richards should be more concerned about the health effects of the cocaine, his cigarette smoking, and past drug use.

everything in moderation.
the occasional parent snort, therefore, would be tolerated by the body.
ah, what a relief.

And his dad wouldn't have cared,
as Keith pointed out.

You see, this is what will forever separate me from being rock n' roll...
Oh god, the kids these days and their devil music...

Ticky tack, keef. Now, stirfryin' the fresh corpse up with some onions, garlic , cilantro: muy Sabroso! That is, of course, if one consented to it a priori (yet the skull preserved--shelf pieces! "Pops" "Ma" "Tweeky" etc.).

i wonder if there is help for anyone who starts to snort
anybody's ashes compulisivly.

"i just can't stop. there's less and less of dad every day
and mom and sparky the dog are completely done."
STEP 1 - admitted we were powerless over creamations
and our lives had became unmanageagle.

it has been in my will for years that I wish to be cremated
and the ashes are to be distributed to my friends in dime bags to dispose of as they wish (I would prefer IV)
my only fear is that I would have too many dime bags and not enough friends with enough tolerance to take the hit

[e_dog]

I can imagine the quips at the funereal reading of the will:

"Christ! We've been OD'ing on his horseshit for years now already -- but this could prove to be fatal!"

"All we are is dust in the wind. Now the ol' windbag has turned to dust!"


No offense, nothing personal.

Ashes to diamonds

cutting and pasting from the Manchester Guardian

Ashes to ashes ... dust to diamonds


She has transformed her husband's ashes into two heart-shaped diamond earrings, which she plans to wear on a pilgrimage to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, a trip that the couple had hoped to make.


Britons turn to US firms that make cremated remains into gemstones


LifeGem Memorials has patented a 16-week process that involves purifying ash at 3,000 C before it is further heated and pressurised into a diamond. The diamonds range in cost from £2,500 to £14,000.

to turn a body into ashes in order to inhale it?, another curious keith´s joke.
