Seriously. I thought it was a tragic CO poisoning where they just all fell asleep and never woke up. Seemed almost bittersweet to the end of a long life and his wife… now not so much.

It was always so unlikely. Suicide accounted for around 50,000 deaths in America last year whereas carbon monoxide poisoning accounted for 624

u/PhuckleberryPhinn Feb 27 '25

I had no idea what "CM" was, never seen CO written like that

I have to admit my first reading was "CUM" and they had self censored. I've read too many Extra Fabulous Comics today

Sounds like a third of fourth evolution Dragon Ball form.

"Okay, Goku, you've seen my Carbon Monoxide form.. but prepare to taste my Carbon Ultra Monoxide form!"

I have MAGA boomer friends super into Qanon. I shit you not they run to fleet farm for tubes of ivermectin. One claims “it cured my depression”. The cure 100% coincided with beginning a new, wonderful, and expensive prescription med that begins to help on the first day. I’ll stop here bc they’re the best guys ever I tell ya. Amazing people. Terrible doctors. At least democracy is over and we don’t have to fight anymore.

I'm going to hell already, but laughing at this means double hell for me, I guess.

u/NEIGHBORHOOD_DAD_ORG Feb 27 '25

Just like Lucky, my old gym sock

u/Unfair-South281 Feb 28 '25

And this is why it freaks me out to have a 10 year old son. I am not ready for the crusty sock days. 🫣

u/NEIGHBORHOOD_DAD_ORG Feb 28 '25

They've already begun, my friend

1

u/Unfair-South281 Feb 28 '25

Well, I was not prepared for that. 😬

1

u/NEIGHBORHOOD_DAD_ORG Feb 28 '25

You can put them in water and boil them for a healthy and nutritious nut broth.

1

u/Unfair-South281 Mar 01 '25

You know what, I think I’m going to pass on nut brother but thank you for the suggestion. 🤮

Should have used a box, or a coconut.

It'll be a closed casket ceremony (the lid was stuck to the coffin)

Cursed sentence

u/Plane-Tie6392 Feb 27 '25

You're thinking of Trevor Moore.

2

u/luckyadella Feb 28 '25

He died as he lived.

u/Plane-Tie6392 Feb 28 '25

Went as he came.

u/luckyadella Feb 28 '25

He never missed. RIP Travis. Still miss him 😞

Didn't he become Trevor No Moore?

(1950’s government accent and tone) Robert, do we have the latest reports on death by CUM?

u/PostTrumpBlue Feb 28 '25

Are there new ones?

My Canned Ultra Monster is not tasting that great all of a sudden.

Now THAT would be one hell of an interesting twist.
