Summary

Greetings, Dear Guest! In tonight's dire reading, we will reminisce about the many splendid ways people used to kick the bucket... or uh... pass away. There was once so much unpredictable variety! Folks used to be forced to meet their maker by fickle fairies, chancy chickens, and even wily wallpaper! Please curl up in your favorite spot and join us as we visit yesteryear and fondly recall many of the Bygone Ways to Bite the Dust!-- Oh! And we have a famous surprise guest to greet you! (A live one) See if you recognize him!

Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.
