It is with the saddest heart that I must pass on the following news:




Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community: The

Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection, and complications from repeated pokes in the belly.



He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.



The grave site was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.



Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was crusty old man and was considered a roll model for millions!



Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children: John Dough, and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly dad, Pop Tarts.



The funeral was held at 3:50, for about 20 minutes.

I'd heard that he'd hooked up with some tart and after she'd sifted through all his dough, she rolled!!
However...from what I understand...she had great buns!!

Very sad. I had personal contact with Doughboy several years ago. When I was in college, I worked in a bakery... I kneeded the dough.

I'm sooo stupid...so, I'm sitting in the corner of the bar...alone and forsaken...

Thanx for the beer, Shboom!!! Shall it wash my sorrows away...*CHEERS*

This little figurine reminds me on "Knack-und-back" - a German trick figurine who was send in the TV advertising. Well, maybe this figurine isn't really a German (I don't know where he was "born") but I know him since the 70's...

I hope to be rehabilitated...

Sheriff, you are a good SPORT....
Tony Rome
PS, Have another stien of beer..
