hecklerspray was so close to our Nanna. We have so many memories of flying kites with her, and going down to the ol' swimming hole. We also have sweet memories of her showing us how to kick our first sinful prostitute, but that's besides the point.

When Nanna finally died at 108, she left explicit instructions on what was to be done with her remains. Unfortunately the French government doesn't allow anything to be thrown out of a helicopter in France's air space to be impaled on the giant spire atop the Eiffel Tower. Sorry Nanna. We tried for hours. We scattered her sweet ashes in a pumpkin patch instead.

Keith Richards treats his dead relative's charred remains a bit differently. He mixes them with cocaine and literally takes them up the nose. Though we've heard such an act is both customary and traditional among many Colombian natives, for a rock star like Richards to admit it in a magazine interview is just plain weird.

Keith Richards has made hecklerspray history before by getting his skull drilled open, defeating all of Scotland and for dressing like a woman and hitting an old lady with a laptop. We think. It's so hard to keep all these Richards' straight. But what Keith or Denise Richards (one or the other) are making headlines for now is literally snorting their father's ashes in a cocaine mixture on purpose. It was Keith Richards. Denise didn't snort anybody.

Anyway, that ol' Keith sure has known love and loss. For instance, we're sure he loved his father, and in 2002, he lost his father. To death. Richards Sr.'s exact cause of expiration is unknown to us at this point, but if it was a drug overdose the man's remains must have given his son quite a buzz. The father-sniffing confession came out in a magazine interview:

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared, he didn't give a shit. [He] went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

Richards mother, reportedly, has given her son strict orders to never turn her into a doobie. Is that 'dad snorting' business the strangest thing you've ever heard? We'd like to say it is, but you're talking to a website that once had to eat mashed potatoes with our dear old Aunt Grettle sprinkled in the gravy. It was in an African jungle. The natives said each gulpy swallow pushed her spirit further away from ghost-cheetahs. We were inclined to believe them as our travel pamphlets all recommended we do so.

Ahem.
