It's Sammy Davis Jr.'s 25th Deathaversary! Let's SHAKE! (or dig him up... again.)



Sammy Davis Jr.December 8, 1925 - May 16, 1990
"Being a star made it possible for me to get
insulted in places where the average Negro
could never hope to go and get insulted."

I think "Being a star" is code for "hanging around Frank Sinatra".


Watch Sammy tear it up

I went to Forest Lawn the day after his funeral and took these photographs.



Then his wife went and dug him up.

After the funeral, Sammy’s wife Altovise went through all kinds of financial troubles with the estate.  The Samster, when buried, was FESTOOONED with valuable jewelry.  It cost her over $400, but she dug that shit up.  Here come 'da Judge.

Hey OSWALD! Death Hag Sticker of the Day

Sometimes it seems like the entire world has gone Death Hag.

Lee Harvey Oswald's grave was dug up in 1981 when doubts arose about who exactly was buried in the box.


Thing is, the shitty box he was buried in was falling apart.  They reburied him in a nicer box.

The funeral home kept the original casket until last year when they sold it at an auction.

Here is the listing: 




It was sold to a private collector for a little over $87,000.  

Well, Oswald's brother wasn't having it.  He sued the funeral home and the auction house.  He won.


So the Oswald family gets the shitty box back.  They say it'll be destroyed.








Well, at least this time we know what they saw when they opened it.


Smile!
