      Paulus told us to take this to be cremated? Oh that’s right we’re not suppose to have one.

    38. Pearl on October 1st, 2006 6:39 pm

      Julia: Heavy battery? Oh no, that’s not heavy battery. The prosecutor’s helper was out drinking and partying it up, and then ran herself into a file cabinet while looking for all of Joran’s missing statements.

      To your question of what the substance is in the coffin, I would say it is a mixture of chocolate and cleaning fluid.

      Oh, um, sorry….I lied…..

      To your question of what the substance is in the coffin, I would say it is the remnants of Roger’s latest romantic encounter..

      Comment by nychic | October 1, 2006, 6:27 pm

      This one gets my vote! Yep, this time they are ready for a visit from Joran. No more of that scurrying around in the middle of the night for them!

      By the way, what do you suppose is really going on in that photo? Are they asking the Black man to identify what is in there out in the street like that? Surely not, surely not. Might it be one of the two who washed ashore last weekend and he is being asked for identification in this totally crude manner? No respect for the dead, that’s for sure. Makes me ill to think about their doing such a thing.

    53. Mortella on October 1st, 2006 6:56 pm

      It’s Paulus! Drunk and sleeping in the streets again. He has to learn to get back to his coffin before sunrise like a good ghoul.

    54. Pearl on October 1st, 2006 6:56 pm

      ALE official: Jacobs wants you to take out the pillow. His got hemmoroids again.

    55. Pearl on October 1st, 2006 6:59 pm

      Arlene: Well, actually we thought that the donkey just kind of vanished but now we see it wasn’t a donkey after all, and that it was really just one of Julia’s pet van der snakes.

    56. San on October 1st, 2006 7:01 pm

      I hope I get me one of these beauties for Christmas.

      #71 Sunfreak, yep, that’s it! Aruba’s tourism and economy. May it Rest in Peace for soon it will be deader than a door knob!

      Tell me that is not some human remains dumped in the street like yesterday’s garbage and some friend or relative forced to make an ID like that?

      For the love of God, use a hearse and take the remains inside, you dopes! No one treats the dead like Aruba!! Dompig talking about digging up Natalee and moving her was a source for nightmares for me. I have never seen such callous treatment of human remains in my life outside of war time or severe disaster. This is totally crude and below acceptable level for civilized countries. Third World is a compliment to those who treat others in this manner.

    84. IndyDan on October 1st, 2006 8:16 pm

      All these Carribean countries, with their nasty little secrets are starting to feel the pain brought on by the obsessivness of Aruba’s indulgence and now exposure to crimanel activity against their tourists. Some are smart enough to take control and harness damage control, some even distancing themselves from Aruba in type.
      Yet Aruba contintues to blame the problem on the outside element. Aruba’s only problem is the Raping Murdering VanDerSloots.

    85. klaasend on October 1st, 2006 8:19 pm

      So that’s what happened to Al Gore’s LOCKBOX!

    86. IndyDan on October 1st, 2006 8:21 pm

      It’s like a chess game at this point. The VanDerSloots have a King, Queen and pawn left. Natalee has only lost a pawn.

    94. Sharon Chicago on October 1st, 2006 9:06 pm

      It was a hit and run and no one can identify the body in the casket. Lets just move it out of the way to let the traffic through, move it next to the building…I know someone will want to use it as a planter box. Yeah, good idea, lift up your end, heave ho – lets go…

    95. Sharon Chicago on October 1st, 2006 9:07 pm

    100. SunFreak2 on October 1st, 2006 9:58 pm

      Not a caption, just a comment. Remember in the Netherlands a number of months ago, some guy started one of those extreme reality experiences where they bury you in a coffin, in the dark, 6 ft down? The coffin has a panic button so if you flip out, they pop you out of there. People actually pay to have this experience. The picture in the paper of this open coffin in the street reminded me of this.

    101. Crimson13x on October 1st, 2006 10:16 pm

      Even with the coffin wide open in front of them, ALE still could not locate the body.
