Here’s a vintage postcard to savor, courtesy of Katchaya!

(For our visually impaired patrons, the postcard colorfully depicts a boy and his dog – and his sister, perhaps? – being blown up by fireworks.  Beside the carnage is a lovely black and white portrait of the boy taken by the photo studio that commissioned the postcard.  The text states: “Fotograph your boy before the 4th of July: you may not get the chance afterwards.”)

You read the headline, ‘Organ from ‘Bozo’ Show To Be Auctioned’ and you think, “Which organ?  The heart?  Pancreas?  Liver?  Brain? And is it from Bozo the Clown himself???” 

Then you sigh with disappointment when you click the link and realize it’s just a musical instrument.  Alas…

Well, another year has passed, and I once again sucked at being a Comtesse.  What pulled me away from my morbid duties this year?  Oh, you know, the usual:  massive depression coupled with work overload.  I think the two actually go hand in hand…

But I am going to make a pledge to you all right here and right now – and you can hold me to this and stick me in a brazen bull if I don’t keep my word:  I will update this site every day that I have access to a computer.  And I will state explicitly when I am going to be away from computer access in advance.  I will NOT let you down in 2011!!!  It’s the 15th anniversary of the Morbid Fact Du Jour and I am determined to revitalize it.  I hope to become the site that you tell all your friends about again.

And to start things off, I thought I’d share a lovely little morbid ditty by Nick Lowe.  Marie Prevost was a silent film star who became a lonely alcoholic and died of heart disease in 1937 at the age of 38.  Her pet dachshund had been nibbling at her body for a couple days before she was found.

For those of you who worry about this sort of thing, fear not: a Zombie Holocaust will not be the end of you.  Unless by “Zombie” you mean the brainless hordes who watch Fox News, in which case… well, we’re obviously already doomed.
