Are you looking for a horseradish tree?
Or, is this really the Random Thought Megathread we're at?

Example of the "dark humor"...
It's gotta get better than that! We want the real dark stuff. Come on, Halloween is coming up.
Syracuse U. is a very expensive school...cost this guy an arm and a leg to get in.
You got it all wrong. The pine box is for an amp.
Speaking of weird, go to amazon and search for casket. Some funeral chains started to not accept delivery of them. Others tacked on a hefty service charge for using them. They want to make all the profit buy selling these items at a high markup. There were lawsuits, I don’t know where things stand now.
DIY casket parts, full size and smaller for pets, is also available from some wood stores. There must be a market for this stuff.
In the early days before the VOX amps, Paul McCartney used a homemade 115 cabinet driven by hi-fi amps. They dubbed it the coffin because of the size and complained about carrying it up and down stairs. Things haven’t changed have they. It helped produce chest thumping levels in places such as the Cavern Club.
Cavern PA System
Through phone conversations with Adrian Barber (musician with the Liverpool group The Big Three, producer, electronics wizard) we were able to make these replica cabinets for PA and bass as used by The Beatles in The Cavern Club. Adrian designed PA and speaker cabinets used by several groups in Liverpool, including Paul McCartney's 'coffin' bass cabinet. On top of the bass cabinet is a vintage Quad Model 2 HiFi tube preamp similar to the one Paul used at The Cavern Club in the early 60s.
Repros below. McCartney’s cab with a Quad preamp like he used is in the centre. The flanking cabinets were used with the Cavern’s PA

The darkest humour I will ever hear comes from firemen.
Those horse opera pine box coffins, we learned, are just the sort of thing funeral directors don't offer.
There's a pumpkin patch just beyond my office window. I put it there, in a fashion. It started from last year's jack-o-lantern.

The talk of the morgue brought back memories of my all time favorite actor...Clint Eastwood.

Animals great and small like eating pumpkins. I wouldn’t mind having a barn owl. Oh, and some bats to eat the bugs.
That's a big bat!!!
Among the bigger bat species in Australia, the flying fox can have a wingspan of five feet. An animal that can fly. They eat fruit so are sometimes called fruit bats.

Take a crazy guess whose ring came back today after a journey from the Rockies to Shasta to Glastonbury Tor to the Alps to Glastonbury Tor to Shasta and back
The contractor who's done all the reno stuff for us at the house built a coffin shaped bookcase for his daughter.
Are you referring to the big-box funeral chains?
Ah, so this is where the "Paul is dead" thing all began!
Laura's?

And last night I watched the first two Underworld films of the three on Netflix before they leave at the end of the month. Bloody time of year, it is!

Yes, I learned how to play that song. And yes, I've completely forgotten how. Finally!
After the long journey, I hope that it doesn’t require resizing.

My Wednesday doctor's office visit revealed I've lost 8 pounds since surgery. Ring's a bit loose, yet a comfortable fit.
What I know now is come next surgery, the freezer will be well stocked with quick eats.
