"I'm going to spill the tea." Those were Sara Chowder's last words. God rest her soul. Her service went as well as you can imagine it could, for one of Sapulpa's biggest gossips and tea cup collector. Attendance wasn't what the family had hopped as many folks were told incorrect address info and showed up at Homer Snodgrass' manure factory (it's a lovely venue, really it is). The good news is that you can find the remainder of Sara's Tea Cup Collection at Route 66 Vintage Market. Just ask ask Archie or Terri and they will direct you to the booth in the back. Just don't spill the tea in the store if you can help it. That's what the bench's out front are for.

We had someone ask us whose bright idea it was to dig an underground tunnel system in Sapulpa. That would be two of our most senior employees, Coffin Ed and Grave Digger (or just Digger to his friends, Mr. Digger if you're nasty). They are our one-two punch for cemetery work. They're both reformed gardeners and unashamed dreamers. Plus they like to drink beer on Friday's down at 's Place with Honest-to-god Einstein and that's where they say they cooked up the idea for The Sapulpa Subway System. Plenty of folks say there's tunnels already under downtown. These two are just hoping to find a few and save a bit of time. Plus this project keeps them out of the cemetery after hours, if you know what we mean.

Things been a little slow here lately at the mortuary. The recent train derailment was not the boon of funeral work we had hoped for. With time on our hands, work does continue on the Sapulpa Underground. Some of our practitioners of the Internment Arts are convinced that an underground travel system for downtown Sapulpa makes a lot of sense. They've made it only 10 feet so far because they've hit four unmarked water lines and two gas lines and William Lost's coffin but they're determined to make progress slowly if not surely.

They're still debating the best way to provide in-tunnel transportation once the digging is complete. But I think they've pretty much ruled out Homer Johnson's suggestion of a mule drawn carriage. Mostly because Homer's mule Ella has the worst flatulence in town. It's a good possibility Ella would asphyxiate anybody in the tunnel system. And let us tell you, having dealt with one or two cases of Mule Flatulence Asphyxiation (MFA as it's commonly known in some circles) it's a horrible way to go.

We have big new coming up on May 1st but until the funeral business picks up you can help us out by becoming a Friend of the Parlor and purchasing some of our merchandise at in downtown Sapulpa or from out etsy store at https://diggumdeepmortuary.etsy.com If you think this was ridiculous, you should see the stuff we sell.

Digger and our entire Interment Arts Division at the mortuary recently went over to jolly ole' England for a St. Patrick's Day Pub Tour and decided in their off-time they were going to start digging a tube system for Sapulpa. We've heard for years that there are tunnels under downtown. Digger is hoping to put those to use as the start for their system. Now we need a clever name for the train system. Let us know if anyone has a good idea for what to call the thing.

Larry Shuvling came by the parlor the other day to share a bit of generational wisdom and get a cold drink. We asked Larry what the hardest thing about being in his 50s was. "All the older relatives I'm having to bury is weighing pretty heavy on me" was his response. We tried to explain we would be happy to help shoulder the shoveling and we have plenty of room to spare. Hopefully he will keep that in mind when his backyard fills up. Lord knows it's getting close.

As you all probably know Clumsy Carl Coddingham's wife Wanda passed away last week. To say that their relationship was rough would be an understatement. Wanda seemed to enjoy torturing Carl any time she could, especially about his lack of coordination. Well Carl opted for cremating Wanda and as anyone could expect, he didn't make it out of the parlor before he dropped the urn, breaking it and spilling Wanda everywhere. Britches was quick with a solution and Wanda now resides inside the parlor's Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner. Carl claimed this was an appropriately named finally resting place for Wanda. And we sent him home with the vacuum cleaner gratis, compliments of Diggum-Deep Mortuary.

We don't usually shill our merch on here but things have been a bit slow at the Mortuary this month. We just added an item to our online store that we are really happy about. It's our Old Town Chamber of Commerce sticker & card pack. You get both of our most popular Diggum-Deep Mortuary stickers and a business card as well as the new sticker from Loud Lillie's House of Negotiable Affections (located above the Old Town Saloon). Loud Lillie's also included one of their Frequent Flyer punch cards and Dynamite Dan even included one of his cards and it's good for a free quarter stick of dynamite for the kids with every adult purchase. So hop over to our etsy store and check out all the ways you can show you're a Friend of the Parlor.

A quick reminder from the Chair of the Sapulpa H**p in Tailoring society, Weedy Blaze. They will be having their annual luncheon to celebrate National H**p Day. The luncheon will cuminate with a runway show of the latest h**p fashions available as well as new trends in organic home decor. Mary Wanna will be selling her all-organic macrame plant hangers and the remainder of her second grade art class's ash tray sculptures are still available at discount prices. In a joint venture with the Mortuary, we've made a deal with Mary and the ash trays that don't sell at this event will become a gift for mortuary customers that choose cremation as an option for their loved ones.

Professor D. Bius Info asked us to remind folks he has reserved Johnson hall for a lunch time discourse on the limited meteorological expertise of the common whistle pig and to talk about his new book, "Weather and what the shapes in the clouds can tell us". This 64-page coloring book contains his predictions for the upcoming seasons as well as a really banger of a search-a-word puzzle his mom came up with while she was at the beauty shop last Thursday. You have to find the names of all the folks in town mentioned in last week's gossip. They will not be serving food at the talk but Bradley Bordeaux will have his crunchy-crawfish sandwich cart setup just outside the doors of Johnson hall for anyone that is still looking to lose weight in the new year.

Mona Ray, Sapulpa's most notorious redhead, will have her remeberance service today. Her children thought it would be fitting to have her service on National Big Wig Day. Mona was known for her world-famous flaming flapjack recipe and that time she out shot everyone at the Kiwanis club to win 1963's Turkey shoot spectacular, even though she had a bout of pink eye. And no one can forget that time she and her two sisters Estelle and Greta (God rest their souls) went through town on the Fourth of July mooning everyone to protest Sapulpa's no fireworks policy. (We believe the fire chief extended the ban for two more years based on their protests. He always had a thing for Estelle). But mostly, she was known for the giant red wig she wore after that accident with the pinsetter and 50 gallons of floor polish down at Sahoma Lanes. The family welcomes you to share your memories of Mona Ray at 2pm Friday at the chapel of the Sisters of the Unbelievable Miracle over on Hobson. Funeral taters and Tang will be served at 3:30.

Dirk Tittepants asked us to let everyone know that he's having a Lunar New Year party at his place Thursday night. Based on the shenanigans at his "National Fruitcake Toss Day" party (Jan 3, look it up) and his lack of porch railing, we're thinking we could have some new business by the end of the week. So drop by the mortuary and make your prearrangements on your way to Dirks. We understand he's spent the week scrubbing his tub and he'll be making enough bathtub punch to pickle the south end of Sapulpa. See ya soon.

It should come as no surprise that Cash Itinn and Kerry Meoff have announced they are going to tie the knot this year. Cash has had his hands full ever since he met Kerry at the mortuary rug sale last year. These two have made quite the splash in the Sapulpa with their new Cash-N-Carry Mini-Blind & Macrame Decorating Center out near the turn off for Flat Top Rock by Pretty Water Lake. They recently made headlines when they started carrying corduroy pillows. Seems like the sky's the limit for these two lovebirds.
