I’m not trying to disrespect, but I can’t stop giggling at this story: Corpse kept upright for 3-day wake in Puerto Rico Did you see the pictures? There’s something very “Weekend at Bernie’s” about the whole thing. Not to mention his whole, “Sup, Holmes?” stance.

Dressed in a Yankees baseball cap and sunglasses, Pantoja was mourned by relatives while propped upright in his mother’s living room. His brother Carlos told the El Nuevo Dia newspaper the victim had long said he wanted to be upright for his own wake: “He wanted to be happy, standing.”

Hey, I’m all for it, if it makes his family happy. It’s a tragedy that the guy died so young, so I hope his family is comforted by the idea that they fulfilled his last wish.
