7. Want to be neighbors with Bear Bryant in the afterlife? No, seriously

Every once in a while I have to start an item that reads, “I’m not making this up.” And so, I’m not making this up. A classified ad ran in the Birmingham News advertising five cemetery plots for sale (via LostLetterman.com). These plots are going for $2,200 each (or best offer), a steep rate because they’re adjacent to the resting corpse of Paul “Bear” Bryant. Here’s the actual ad:

Cemetery Lots. ELMWOOD- ROLL TIDE!!! Block 30, spend eternity near Bear Bryant! 5 plots in a row $2,200 ea. OBO. Call 205-967-8982. Published in The Birmingham News 1/15. Updated 1/23.

And this is when we must interject: Yes, they are different over there.

<---female.

She's still alive, and I'm not going to separate her from her husband for the rest of eternity either.

True story...I think these plots belonged to my grandfather at one time. He told me he inherited 6 plots next to the bear after his wife died in 1993. He ended up giving them to her children though.

I even made a post about it several months ago on the first page of this thread.

No worries it's easy to assume all posters here are male.

Your username gives you away as being a girl. I knew you were female the first time I saw you post.
