Four years ago, former LSU football player “Big Bob” Wynne bought a shiny purple coffin at an estate sale. The previous owner of the coffin, “Big Lee” Martin, who was known across New Orleans for his fanatical devotion to the Tigers, had been shot to death a few weeks earlier.
Martin's remains were laid out in the purple coffin during his funeral before being cremated.
Now, Wynne has converted Martin’s purple coffin into an elaborate portable bar, destined to be used during football game tailgating parties.
“People might say, ‘This is mocking death,’” Wynne said, but he sees it as a winking tribute from one LSU superfan to another.

There's a casket in this picture?
(Or a former LSU player?)

The crime scene tape accents were a nice macabre touch.

These people are fricked up. There’s nothing “winking” about it.

When I originally saw this article I missed the part where the casket was actually used. I thought "cool" before but now not so much.

The crime scene tape paired with the garden hose

Just noticed the shell casing evidence markers too. These people are bizarre.

The fricking garden hose

If this is what OT ballers do with their money, I am glad I am a poor.

I would spray that blonde in the face through her truck window.

It’s time for a true memorial to Big Lee.

Value of the coffin increase ten-fold if the crime scene tape and garden hose are original.
