Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma
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 Hostesss 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 quicky in show business, but his later life was filled with
turnovers. he was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his
own dough on half-baked schemes.
Despite being a little flaky at times, he was still a crusty old man and
was considered a positive roll model for millions.
Doughboy is surv ived 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 father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

I will try to leave a decent comment when I manage to roll with this punch. It may be awhile before I can rise to this sad occasion. I feel torn to pieces like biscuits in a basket.
I did spend time with Pop Tart before he died in the fire of '88. I still miss his flavorful friendship.
Give me just another 5 minutes and I am sure I will be ready...
