In response to a prior challenge regarding Larry Haggman's last wishes I have received this. I think it's brilliant. I say open up shop. This could be a franchise!

Comment: I can top Larry Hagman. I am a potter, and when I die, I wish to be put into the cremation furnace with some of my pots - a teapot and teacups that I have thrown beforehand, to be precise - so we can all enjoy the cleansing warmth of the bisque fire together. Cremation happens at 1600-1700f, which is a cone 6 bisque. Perfrect for my porcelain. I would then like my ashes to be mixed into a glaze, and then the glaze to be applied to the teaset. I'd like the tea set to be glazefired. I'd then like my friends to have a tea party with the finished tea set and toast to me.
In observance of the Great American Smoke Out, I post the following. Remember, don't hate the messenger...

Comment: Let me be Frank.
Whoever the chick was whose boyfriend was telling her she needed more experience, I've got 6 words for you. He's Just Not That Into you. It hurts, but I'm Frank.
Nicolette, masquerading around half-naked cannot distract from the obvious. Draw your eyebrows three inches lower and you might look human. It's brutal, but I'm Frank.
To all those sporting yellow fingers, brittle hair, a nice flemmy cough and the pungent odor of smoke, hear ye this: The tobacco companies are now running their own anti-smoking ads. Philip Morris is doing so to the tune of $100 MILLION dollars worth. Does this register with you? Is the hamster up and running? Anything starting to click for ya? If you still insist on smoking please do so in a 3' X 3' sealed room with no ventilation. You'll get the best of both worlds, exclusively inhaling your first and second hand smoke, while speeding up the inevitable. Your timely untimely death. Remember, I'm Frank.
Let Me Be,
Frank Witu
Not to worry. I am working on the next Rashomon segment and hope to have it up tomorrow. I am also working on several other projects that I hope will come to fruition within the next week. So stay tuned, we could have a surprise for you...
