Steve Lawrence kept turning to every Jewish woman over the age of 79 (and there were quite a few!), tapping them on the tops of their heads and asking, "Eydie...? Eydie...? Eydie...?
"traditional Jewish Shiva mourning-" OY A BRUCH! This is about as traditional as having pork chops at a seder. Flowers, gifts, MUSIC? Call it mourning, grieving even as some have a "celebration" but NOT a shiva.
And SNAFU your card in the Gay Community is still valid- just not punched!
I tried to find a video of my favorite Joan Rivers appearance on SNL, but we'll have to settle for the transcript. Even reading it, it sounds just like Joan! Joan Rivers' 1997 Fashion Wrap-Up
Why are we posting a lot of paparazzi-vulture pics of someone's funeral?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Hey, PJ, do you have any details on Cindy Adams' remarks at the NY funeral? Was on a long drive with a friend a few days ago and heard Howard Stern speak quite passionately about how great the funeral was. He made special mention of Cindy Adams' remarks and noted how funny and moving they were.
I don't like Cindy Adams very much in general, but she was hysterical. I got the feeling that she and Joan might have written their eulogies together, over a pot of tea and some Entenmann's.
Joan would've LOVED these edgy, outrageous bloody Kent State sweatshirts that have sold out at Urban Outfitters just in time for the company, owned by a "libertarian centrist" right winger issued an apology for it.
IflitIfloat would have HATED the sweatshirt, since she was there that fateful day, but you know.
Maybe it's a good sign that millennials don't give a crap about the scared cows of the baby boomers and a conservative company is ready to rake in the profits from that?
Actually, they indicated there was only one of them. $129. A bargain. Almost went for it but they said it had the blood stains but no gunshot residue, so I passed.
