Best obit ever?
“That morning that Harry died, she got up and got on the computer and then she came to me said, ‘Mama, please let me do this, it’s real important.’ And she said, ‘I know it’s not your style, I know it’s not what you would have written, but it’s important to me.’ Well, I started reading it and I thought, there is no way in the world.”
But as she continued to read the obituary Amanda crafted, infused with details about Harry’s “life-long love affair with deviled eggs” and “sausages on saltines,” his adoration for using his “oversized ‘old man’ remote control” to “flip between watching The Barefoot Contessa and anything on The History Channel,” his insistence on taking “fashion cues from no one” and the demand that in his honor, “you write your Congressman and ask for the repeal of Day Light Saving Time,” Ann had a change of heart.

*takes off hat to Harry Stamps, as a tear rolls slowly down his face…*
I cannot say anything that will do him justice. So I turn to Hunter S. Thompson:
“There he goes. One of God’s own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

In honor of Mr Stamps, perhaps there should be a nationwide campaign to abolish the abomination that is Daylight Savings Time…

I’m still too tired to do anything about it.
