"Tippy," from Rockford, Illinois, has invited 200 friends and relatives to her "BC" or "before cremation" birthday party. Tippy is 72, and has no immediate plans to check out of this life. She wishes to enjoy her "wake" while she. is alive and well. Unique idea, Tippy, but will it work? Two questions! How would one phrase such an invitation to 200 people and how on earth can you afford all those stamps? "Hi, there, loved ones. I'm hosting a "wake" for myself and my fondest wish is that you attend. I promise, it will be a star-studded affair. There will be of course, good food and drinks, followed by entertainment. Best wishes only. RSVP. Love and fun, Tippy. The Day They Stopped the "Chop" The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Atlanta Braves that day -- The series stood 3 games to 2 in favour of the Jays. And when Toronto scored a run, the first inning of the game, The Tomahawks were very still -- the chant was pretty tame. And so when Avery struck out and Justice did the same, A roaring cheer rang up among the Jays' Fans at the game, And 40 thousand more fans at home within the dome The Jumbotron were walching as Carter hit to bring White home. The Braves then made a comeback to tie the score at one, The bottom of the 3rd was over, the fourth inning had begun. And in the Fourth -- a home run, one of Maldonado's best, The Braves were left behind again, we put them to the test. Atlanta Fans were stricken and silently they sat, But what do you expect with our amazing Jays at bat. And then the Braves came up to bat and Justice hit a fly, But Winfield made a diving catch to help the inning die. The game continued on -- the tension mounting with each inning. Both teams, World Series Hopefuls, each intent upon their winning. The ninth was now in progress with Toronto still ahead, But the Braves then rallied back and tied the score -- What can be said? Extra Innings! We all cried - Can we stand the stress we're under? Will the pitcher rally on or commit a fateful blunder? All our hopes had been on Henke -- the Terminator, he's the best. But they pulled him in the tenth and brought in Key to face the rest. with his mighty two run double. The Atlanta Braves and Bobby Cox were now definitely in trouble. So to the plate, the Braves they came, two runs behind the lead. An eleventh inning comeback was all that they would need. Atlanta rallied back again, so sure they had the power. Would Otis Nixon be the Nation's Hero of the hour? The Jays have won the game! All America was watching, mouths agape in disbelief. But the Jays had won the Series, and the Braves were in defeat. So it doesn't seem to matter if our flag hangs upside down, Or the bad calls made against us -- . you can't keep a great team down! Ohl Somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright, The ban ié playing somewhors and somewhere hearts are light, Right there, she has probably lost half of her loved ones. Some may faint, only to revive themselves with a splash of cold water, or perhaps something more spirited, shake their heads and vow never again to read another piece of junk mail. Others may wrongly assume that this crusty old broad departed our world ages ago and this is a message from the "beyond." Quite conceivably, given the shock of the letter, some of the chosen in a moment of panic, might just let their fingers do some frantic digging through the yellow pages under "psychiatrist," in the hopes they will find answers to "why am I here, am I going nuts, or most importantly, why do I always get junk mail? For the other half who are still "hanging in there," she has a memorable evening planned. -- -food and drink that are out of this world, entertainment into the wee hours of the mourning, excuse me, that's morning. Planters Punch and Frozen Daquiries will begin the festivities. For dinner itself, entrees include "steak and kidney pie, liver and onions, or heart and sole." All meals include salads you would just "die for." How about dessert? You choice of angel food cake or that heavenly, sinful mud pie. Freshly ground coffin, excuse me, coffee, will be served through the entire evening. Tippy has opted for the ultimate in entertainment. She tired to get Gabriel and the Trumpeters, but they had a previous engagement. Fortunately, Peter, Paul and Martha, of harpsicord fame will be honoured at the chance to perform. Bizarre as all this may sound, you have to love the response Tippy gave to the media when asked what propped, sorry, prompted her to celebrate her own wake ahead of time. "Why not," she said. "Can you do it when you're dead?"
