HOLY CRAP!!!

I’m sure you’re all aware of the fact that Rob Zombies remake of Halloween (one of my favorite movies EVER) opens today!! ok maybe you’re not ALL aware – but I have been counting the days like a child waiting for Christmas!!

they should have made a HALLOWEEN advent calendar for me to open – with little plastic pumpkins and butcher knives and whatnot inside!!

I am dying to see this movie - DYING!!

if you ask me Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses and the Devil’s Rejects are two of THE BEST horror movies EVER!! certainly the best to come out in the last 20 years!! that I’ve seen anyway… of course I haven’t seen nearly as many as I’d like!!

the man is a fucking genius – never mind music he should have been making horror movies all along!!

usually when I see that one of my favorite movies is being remade I kinda gag at the idea… for the most part NO good can come from remaking a classic movie – but in this case I couldn’t be more excited!! I can’t wait to see what he does with it… it looks like it’s going to be quite a bit darker… which is good - and just have a bit of a different spin on things

I don’t see the point in just redoing a movie… there has to be a reason… you have to do SOMETHING to change it or improve it for cryin’ out loud!!

for example the remake of Ammityville was ok… but it was nothing special… all they really did was re shoot the movie with a different cast… I don’t see the point in that – the same goes for the Hills Have Eyes

if you’re not going to improve on things or change them up in some way that is appealing – WHAT is the point??

although I do have to say Ryan Reynolds was particularly HOT in Ammityville

anyway I’m getting off the point here… which is that since the minute I heard Rob Zombie was redoing Halloween I was HOPING that it would come out in time for drive-in season and that they would play it at one of the two *drive-in theaters we’re fortunate enough to have near us (I’m still bummed that neither of them played GRINDHOUSE!! grrr)

our drive-ins change movies on Fridays so they update their web sites first thing Friday morning – this week has been going by like a snail – every day I’m like, MAN is it Friday YET?!?!? (ok I’ll admit I’m like that every week in anticipation of the drive-in movie changes (it’s been a bad summer for movies!!) but this week it was particularly unbearable!!

FINALLY the day arrived… I woke up this morning and it was FRIDAY – and guess what?!!

it IS playing at one of the local drive-ins!! HOLY CRAP!! I think I’m hyperventilating!!

Sam only got like 4 hours of sleep last night… but he better rest up because WE ARE GOING!! wild horses couldn’t keep me from the drive-in this weekend!!

now on to a (halloweenie) TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO!!

**no blood, guts or gore… just lots of sick twisted laughs!!**



*SUPPORT your local drive-in!! (if you’re fortunate enough to have one near you)
they’re a dying breed!! mom & pop movie theaters are being suffocated by overpriced corporate multiplexes – why sit inside a stuffy theater with inconsiderate cell phone users and people who won’t shut up, when you can sit under the stars… make out freely AND get two movies for less than the cost of one movie at an indoor theater?? not to mention the dancing hot dogs!! what could be better??!!

title schmitle...

so I have this friend who loves the mall… he’s a guy but I’m not sure he’s aware of that fact… he LOVES to shop - especially for clothes!! what kind of guy LOVES going to the mall and shopping for new clothes??

it’s because of him that I can no longer say I’ve never set foot in the GAP, Banana Republic or Abercrombie & Fitch – GAH!!

anyway once in a while he shows up here and drags me to the mall with him – not just any mall either he drags me all the way to Danbury CT. because of this fish joint in the food court with these AWESOME fish & chips!!

I never thought it was quite worth driving over an hour through miles and miles of speeding tractor trailers for, but he did - so once or twice a year for the last several years, off we went

when he showed up here on Monday with a craving for fish & chips – I tried to steer him toward something a little closer to home but he insisted on Danbury and the damn fish & chips!!

on the way there I joked about how funny it would be if the fish & chip joint wasn’t there anymore (it’s been over a year since we’ve done this) I said wouldn’t it be funny if they were gone and in it’s place was an Arby’s?!

he didn’t laugh…

long story short (haaa as if ANY story here is SHORT!!) we get all the way to fucking Danbury and what is sitting where the fish & chips USED to be?

ARBY’S!! – of all places!! what are the odds??

if only I could use my powers to pick lottery numbers or something, ya know?

we ended up going to *BARF* Ruby Tuesday… we all know I’m not a fan of chain restaurants… but it’s the mall, what can ya do?

anyway THIS is not why I’m writing about our trip to the mall… neither is the 2-3 hours (felt more like 10) that we spent in Macys, clothes shopping for my VERY tattooed and pierced and freakishly contradictorily metrosexual friend…

although I was reminded of something while we were there… other than how much I hate the mall – new clothes are BORING!! everything looks the same!! in stores like Macys everything is sectioned off by designer… but if they didn’t have signs telling you this, you would really have no way of knowing that they were ‘designed’ by different people – nothing has any character!!

and I HATE this pre-worn look… the fake looking wear and tear – I mean how hard is it to fade and fray your cuffs and collars? and WHO spends $30 on a t-shirt that looks like it’s been through the wash 80 times?

(aside from concert t-shirts which are potentially collectible) who spends $30 on ANY t-shirt – PERIOD?!!

seriously I’ll take thrift store clothes any day!! at least you don’t walk around looking like some cookie cutter clone of everyone else…

in the end he wound up spending $60 on 3 t-shirts!! I tried to tell him you can get t-shirts at K-Mart for $7… but he wasn’t hearin’ it!! hehehe - but what can you expect from a guy who owns $250 JEANS!!

I seriously almost shit myself when he told me that… and he doesn’t just own one special pair… he has FIVE pair of them!!

I’m pretty sure mine and Sam’s entire wardrobes COMBINED (including shoes and jackets) don’t add up to the cost of just those 5 pair of pants!!

and get this!! he’s been told by people who worked there and other’s who have owned this particular brand of jean, that they fall apart in the wash!! so uhh… you CAN’T even wash these $250 jeans!!

not for nothin’ but for $250 I expect those jeans to wash themselves… NOT fall apart when I wash them!!

ok - on to what I actually wanted to tell you about - as we were FINALLY leaving Macys something caught my eye near the cosmetics counter… it was an ad for chanel lip gloss with some very umm… INTERESTING imagery

anyway... I think that pretty much speaks for itself!!

but you should have seen the grin on the girl behind the counter when I spun my head around too see if I saw what I thought I saw hehehe

VERY clever chanel advertising person!! THAT picture ALMOST made me want to spend $30 on some lip gloss!!

p.s. you have NO idea how hard it was for me to find that picture!! its like its been banned from the internet or something!! Chanel must have gotten shit from the anti pornogrification society and stopped using it... but forgot to tell the Danbury mall Macys to take down the poster haaaa

s e x

sometimes it can get a little rough around here… nothing particularly crazy or violent – but I tend to enjoy being used hard (I’m sure I’m not alone)

anyway… lately I find myself being totally exhausted afterward (not the usual relaxed, post-coital sleepiness) just really wiped out and kinda zombie-like
even though I wasn’t necessarily particularly active (I don’t think anyway) but there are often kinda big toys involved that leave me feeling a bit battered and bruised (they always have, so that’s nothing new)

I don’t know if it’s physical or mental or what… maybe a little of both – along with the sorta rough physicalness there is obviously some mental stuff as well… words said… scenarios laid out – whatever… you get the idea

this sort of thing kind of means getting into a particular head space - it doesn’t exactly conjure up images of picnics and rainbows and puppies frolicking in a field of daisies, ya know?

anyway this is nothing new – but for some reason I’m not as resilient as I used to be… I used to be able to pop up afterward and make a sammich and maybe have a conversation or watch tv… pretty much as if nothing had happened – which I always did kinda think was odd… people talk about ‘aftercare’ and I thought it was weird that I didn’t seem to really need much, if any… I thought maybe it was because I KNOW I’m loved and cared for all the time… I know these things are fantasy and are in no way a reflection of how Sam actually thinks of me

or maybe it has something to do with my messed up brain – that I’m able to just turn off certain aspects of life and go on about my business like nothing – something I think my brain trained itself to do when I was little so I could half way function during the day after nights of activities that were beyond my control

[I’m reluctant to make any kind of comparison or connection between this and that because I don’t want Sam thinking I’m somehow comparing what we do to anything that happened to me when I was a kid]

I just mean to say that I think this may be the reason I’ve always been able to just kinda switch back off so easily after sex (it’s probably also why I tend to have a hard time switching ON as well)

anyway I’m not much of a talker or cuddler after sex and I never have been - if its bed time I just want to roll over and go to sleep – that’s fine – I always thought it was fine anyway… I’m sure some people think its nuts (I really don’t care)

so I’m wondering why I suddenly find myself so totally drained by sex lately… I mean D R A I N E D – like I feel like I need to take the day off afterward!!

is it because I’m not in very good shape? is he being rougher with me? (I don’t think so) am I just more fragile emotionally for some reason? is it because we are somehow losing something by not sleeping in the same bed for the last few months (thanks to my stupid back) – maybe I don’t feel as connected? maybe even though I thought I was just rolling over and going to sleep I was actually getting something out of just knowing he was there and I could reach over and feel him if I needed to

although I don’t know… the couple of times this drained feeling has come over me it was way too early to go right to sleep anyway – so I kinda doubt the current sleeping arrangement is the issue

am I just FEELING more deeply? part of shutting things off emotionally (one of my mental issues) means being sort of desensitized – so maybe I’m not as desensitized as I once was… maybe I’m feeling more and therefore requiring more care and nurturing…

or maybe I’m just coming down with a cold or something

anyway… the other day when this happened I was telling Sam how drained and wiped out I felt – I didn’t mean for it to make him think… or rethink anything – I was just stating a fact… ‘whew that wiped me out!’

but I guess since this was at least the second time he’s heard me say how wiped out I felt – he’s getting a little concerned and is trying to figure out what changes need to be made

but I’m not sure any changes need to be made… I’m not sure there’s anything WRONG with being wiped out after such a thing – it’s not necessarily a bad feeling… just draining

I don’t really know where I’m going with this…

BEWARE the PEANUS POWAH!!

I REALLY tried to pick out the best line from this video to use as the title for the post but picking just one gem from this goldmine turned out to be impossible so I’m giving up… I’ll let you guys decide for yourselves which line is the best

there's really nothing I can say - she says a mouthful herself (a mouthful of sperm that is!!)

so without further ado... another TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO!!

ENJOY:)

hey, how'd that happen??

when I was a kid we had this goofy wooden strawberry hanging on the kitchen wall with a few little hooks on it for hanging up your keys - each time we left the house my mother would pick her keys off the rack, leaving behind this one lonely ring full of keys that nobody ever touched

I had seen those keys a million times just hanging there, never being used and was always curious about what they went to, so one day as we were heading out the door and she once again grabbed her keys, leaving behind that mysterious key ring, I finally had to ask… she paused for a moment before saying she had no idea…

I thought that was ridiculous!! how can you have keys hanging there for years and have no idea what they go to?

I just knew that some day if I ever had keys I would surely know what they went to – so I decided she must have been lying… those keys must go to something she just didn’t want to tell me about – something secret and probably great fun that only grown ups were allowed to see

some day I would know!!

then one day when I was in one of my de-clutter/organization modes, cleaning up stuff that nobody would ever even notice existed, let alone think needed cleaning... I saw it!!

a set of keys hanging on the hook by the front door… not my keys… not Sam’s keys… but a ring full of MYSTERY keys!! and not just one or two, but TWELVE keys I have NO idea what they go to!! a few look like they might go to cars that we had long ago – but the others… I have no idea - I DO know one thing… they don’t go to anything secret OR fun!!

as I looked at those keys hanging there and tried to imagine what on earth they might go to… I realized something kinda scary!!

no matter how much I try to deny it… I’m all growed up!!
and I have my very own set of mystery keys accumulated over years of 'who knows what' to prove it…

there they hang on my very own key rack next to my very own front door in my very own house filled with my very own RESPONSIBILITIES…



I don’t know how it happened… but it kinda freaks me out!!

well I thought I was back anyway…

but as it turns out Sam had some unexpected time off work… and when he’s home I try to avoid this idiot box

work has been an issue for Sam lately as it turns out he was lied to and misled about several different things when he was hired there (about a year ago) for example in addition to promises of accruing sick/vacation/personal days over time that they totally changed policy on, he was told that he would have a substantial raise after 6 months, which never came – he started getting on them about it at the one year point and was told the company didn’t have the money for raises – summer is their busy season… if they’re having problems NOW then what the hell will winter be like? last winter I know they all spent a lot of time shuffling around a warehouse trying to keep themselves busy

anyway this was when he decided to start really thinking about looking for a new job

a few weeks later they started sending people home when there wasn’t enough work to do… Sam being one of only two drivers at the place, was spared from losing hours

then it came down from the corporate office that if there was no work to be done, EVERYONE was to be sent home (or not come in if it was known that there was no work on the schedule) – the higher ups at Sam’s branch tried to explain to the main office that if they do that, there’s no saying any of them will show up when they’re actually needed (at least they had THAT much of a clue) but the main office didn’t care

well we can’t live like that… especially when we know the place is going into their slow season – which could mean Sam might wind up only working a couple days a week (if he’s lucky) all winter… which they would do rather than lay everyone off, that way they could avoid having everyone go on unemployment

nice huh?

then they started purposely being bigger assholes than normal in what seemed like an attempt to get certain people to quit (mainly the whiners who complain no matter what… they complain if they get sent home and lose hours… but also if they are asked to work extra hours when they are there)

Sam is NOT one of these whining complainers, he goes and does what he’s asked because it’s his fucking job… of course he rolls his eyes on occasion, who doesn’t… especially when you’re being lied to and treated like crap – but anyway…

besides like I said he’s one of only two drivers… without the drivers they can’t do anything so it’s in their best interest o keep their drivers!!

my thought is that they were hoping to get enough people to bail so that they could justify letting the few who remained, go on unemployment for the winter

so anyway - skip to this past Thursday… Sam was sort of dreading work that day because it was going to be a really heavy day and he was anticipating getting home very late (maybe even after midnight!!) they had three jobs booked and only 2 drivers, which meant Sam was going to have to do one job then come back and do another – while the other driver was off doing the 3rd

the only thing that made it better was knowing that working late would make up for hours he might miss if he was sent home another day due to a lack of work

so first thing Thursday morning Sam and another guy (one of the whining complainers) walk into the office and are told that someone is going to have to make a run to long island on Saturday (they all usually have weekends off)

Sam’s usual reaction would be to just stand there not saying anything while he digests the fact that he has to work on a Saturday (this stuff almost never happens so it’s really not that big a deal) almost everybody else there usually races to be the first to refuse to do anything extra - like a Saturday trip

some actually get away with it and some just grin and bear it – Sam is the grin and bear it type usually… because lets face it, in a way they do somewhat have him over a barrel… he needs his job, it’s not like we have money saved up or severance pay for him to pull a Lester Burnham when he gets fed up

this day was different though… this day Sam chimed in and when they were told they had to go to Long Island, Sam said ‘not me’

then whiny complainer guy said ‘I’m not going!’

then the boss said, ‘then you can leave’

Sam said OK! and turned and headed out of the office toward his truck (I wish I could have seen his face and the faces of everyone who was there)

whiny complainer guy said ‘for good?’

and the boss said ‘yeah’

whiny complainer guy had no choice but to stay… but what the boss didn’t know was that Sam had been on an interview the day before, which he nailed and was hired (pending his drug test results which we knew would come back clean) so he was planning to put in his two weeks notice within the next few days – in other words, they no longer had him over a barrel

this is what happens when you treat people like shit and then threaten them… every now and then one of them calls your bluff… they OBVIOUSLY didn’t mean for Sam to leave, considering hey had too much work lined up for that day already and now were going to be stuck with only ONE driver

but they had to stick to their guns to make their point with whiny complainer guy

Sam forgot his lunch and water when he walked out and had to go back in to get it, he said nobody even spoke because all their jaws were on the floor – haaaa

so he felt good… it wasn’t exactly how he wanted to leave but it was somewhat satisfying knowing that he kinda left them twisting in the wind a bit

since he walked out, one of the other guys said what they did that day was bullshit and if they would do that to Sam he doesn’t want to work for them so he told them that he wouldn’t be back this week

another didn’t bother to show up the next day… and it looks like whiny complainer guy might have found another job too… so looks like Sam jumped that sinking ship just in time!!

but the really funny thing is that the Saturday job that started this whole thing... got canceled at the last minute anyway HAA!!

and it turned out that the new job Sam got was eager for him to start ASAP – so as soon as they got his drug test results this morning they called to have him come in… which means he didn’t even really miss much work at all…

in fact we got a nice long four day weekend before he started the new job, which is always nice… it's good to get a chance to recharge yourself before you start a new job... we got lots done but also had plenty of time to relax and enjoy eachother’s company – which was greatly needed after having my sister and niece and assorted other people in and out of here all last week

so anyway that explains why I sorta vanished again after declaring my return last week… but this time I THINK I’m REALLY back and hopefully can get back on track around here and stop neglecting my poor blog… AND all of yours!!

I feel so far behind I may never get caught up!! but you KNOW I’ll try!! haaaa

I'm baaaaack…

did I mention that my sister and niece (the monkey) were coming for a visit? well actually my niece has been in NY for a couple weeks but she was staying with her father so we didn’t really get to see her =(

my sister got here on Thursday morning – she (and sometimes the monkey) stayed at our house for the last 5 days – they left yesterday morning… double =(
I had planned to pop in here yesterday but I was too exhausted by the emotional drain of having to say goodbye to my niece, not knowing when I’ll get to see her again

so anyway that explains why I haven’t been around much – I was trying to soak up as much of that little monkey as possible, since like I said, who knows WHEN they’ll be around again – especially since her father keeps talking about moving out to Arizona which would mean she probably wouldn’t make her way out here much at all

anyway… it was a nice little visit… they had to try to cram in visits with everyone they know in 5 days so it was a bit rushed but what can ya do?

I’m sure Sam is glad to have all the commotion end – not that there really was much commotion… but he’s somewhat sensitive to people invading his home – actually I thought I’d have a harder time with it than I did… we DO have a VERY small house after all and my sister can be VERY difficult to live with

I think having a 3½ year old around has cemented his opinion on having our own kids – which is ‘NO FUCKING WAY’

although I don’t really get why… she was well behaved and as far as kids go you’ll never find a more adorable one!! she didn’t bother me one bit… don’t get me wrong – she’s totally exhausting but she’s so precious you just want to squeeze her until she pops

I think he was just having an issue with not being able to walk around in his underwear and especially with not being able to just grope me whenever he feels like it (which is ALWAYS) – when he got home from work last night and saw them gone, the first thing he did was shove his hands up my shirt and squeeze my tits!! haaa

we’ve been just the two of us for so long now – having other people around, especially in our space is just odd – we’re so into it just being the two of us that we breathe a sigh of relief when dinner guests leave at the end of the evening and he often says he wishes we didn’t have them over or go over to their house because he’d rather have spent that time ‘just the two of us’

for the most part I feel that way the majority of the time too… but sometimes it’s nice to be around other people… and it helps us appreciate US and our time together that much more too

all in all things went pretty well having them stay here… even though we don’t have much room – we gave up the bedroom to them because it just worked out better that way… Sam has to get up pretty early for work and if we had to come out into the kitchen/living room to get him ready and out the door it would have disturbed them had they stayed on the pull out couch – plus this way nobody had to feel like they had to stay up to entertain or be entertained – when they wanted to go to bed they could just go into the bedroom and not have to wait for us to pack it in for the night – and we didn’t have to feel like we had to hide out in the bedroom so’s not to disturb them

Sam has been sleeping on the couch off and on anyway since I’ve been stuck in my recliner thanks to the evil tempurpedic slab they call a bed, which cripples me – so nobody was really displaced so that worked out pretty well

PLUS I got my period the day after they got here soooooo as far as missing sex because of having company… there wasn’t much to be missed anyway – so that worked out very well… now they’re gone and IT is gone and I fully expect Sam to attack me tonight – actually I expected him to attack me last night but I had such a wicked headache which totally knocked me out – I fell asleep by like 7:30!! so no attacking took place – I’m so grateful I just might attack him tonight just to show my appreciation haaaa

so… while my sister and niece were here Sam got some much needed alone time – which is rare for him since I don’t drive… especially now that everyone I normally hung out with has moved so far away

the day they arrived we went out to lunch and ran a couple errands – my niece acted like we just hung out last week… not at all like it had been 7 months since she saw me… which was good!! I was a little worried since I had seen her very briefly a week or so earlier and she acted very shy!! but I think that was because she was with her father… so it was an unfamiliar situation for her

they both spent the night here that night and she helped me ball out a watermelon while my sister tried to organize her weeks plans – ever try to get a 3½ year old to understand how to use a melon baller? hehehe she managed pretty well after a while though but kept trying to eat the melon right off the ‘spoon’ – then she started scraping at it because she thought it was fun how juice splashed out everywhere haaaa – then a seed splashed out into her armpit and I convinced her that watermelons were gonna grow under her arms now!! she laughed and laughed...

the next day the monkey woke up before her mommy so she came out to see if I was awake - since I knew she was going to have a bath shortly, I pulled out the messy paints (that I don't usually let her play with) and the glitter and we made a huge mess together while we let my sister sleep in a bit

once she woke up we had planned to go to Joann's and some other stores… but it was rainy and we were all in slow motion so we wound up staying in our pajamas all day watching tv… which was kinda cool… it was just like when we were kids and home sick from school… only this time we didn’t fight over what to watch!! I don’t even know where the day went… all I really remember is painting my nieces toenails and laughing at her antics – she’s a very dramatic child!!

she clung to me whenever I was around – constantly asking me to pick her up or to sit on my lap – since I can’t get enough of her I was thrilled with that hehehe

she does this thing where she sucks her thumb while tugging on her ear with her other hand – a habit she picked up about a year ago when her world really started turning upside down

but while she was sitting on my lap she would nuzzle up to my neck and tug on MY ear while she sucked her thumb – I thought that was awfully sweet... sad but sweet – it was nice that she felt that comfortable at least

while we were watching tv they kept advertising that show Meerkat Manor… and she kept flipping out, insisting that those are NOT CATS!! we tried to explain that just because it sounds like cat doesn’t mean it’s a cat and blah blah blah about all sorts of other animals… I told her they look more like prairie dogs than cats which just confused her more – ‘dey NOT GOGS eeder!!’

‘hold on hold on hold on’ she says… standing up and waving her hand around

‘I telling you… dose things are NOT KITTY CATS, dey NOT GOGS, dey NOT LIONS! dey NOT TIGERS! dey NOT… giraffes!’

so what I learned this week is that none of us has any fucking clue in the world what the hell a meerkat is!!

I also learned that sharks don’t poop because they have no butt!!

she’s obsessed with sharks!! she told me that sharks will eat your leg – I asked what happens after they ate your leg… she said ‘dey eat your head’ – ‘ohhh’ I said…’ but what happens after they eat your leg and your head and they are all digested… do they poop out skulls and femurs and whatnot?’

‘nooooo no no no no sharks not poooooop!!’

‘sure they do… everything that eats, poops!!’

‘no no no!! sharks not poop!! they don’t have butts!!’ - as she’s twisting around trying to demonstrate how she has a butt and clearly a shark does not!!

she has a point…

I also learned that if you ever want to brush your hair again, you shouldn’t leave your brush where the child who hates getting her hair brushed can access it… my niece has LONG hair… down past her... BUTT! haaa - and it gets very gnarly and matted if it’s not taken care of properly, which hurts when it eventually does get brushed after someone (like daddy not wanting to be the bad guy) doesn’t quite brush it like he should… having had the same hair when I was little I vividly remember the torture of getting my hair brushed by an impatient, sadistic mother so I felt her pain

in the confusion of swapping houses, apparently her brush didn’t get packed for her visit to our house, so my sister had to use MY brush on her – the next day when she heard she was having a bath and getting her hair brushed AGAIN she apparently thought if she hid my brush she could avoid the torture – which of course didn’t happen, my sister just borrow my mother's brush… but meanwhile MY brush is still missing… I asked her if she hid it… her response was a very giggly ‘noooooo’ – I asked her if she DID hide it, where would it be and she made up all sorts of goofy places – over the next few days I tried to trick her into giving up her hiding spot… but no such luck… she’s a crafty little monkey!! it’s still missing…

my guess is she threw it in the garbage, because I just can NOT imagine where else it could be… I’ve looked EVERYWHERE!! now I’m stuck using Sam’s brush which is basically useless with my thick curly/frizzy hair – GAH!! now I’m getting all matted and gnarly too haaaa

anyway - all in all it was a very nice visit… she said it was a good learning experience… she now knows that next time she comes, she needs TWO WEEKS!!

I’m not sure how Sam will feel about that… but an extra week of that little monkey climbing and snuggling on me would suit me just fine!!

sad news...

"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 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 a crusty old man and was considered a positive 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 father, Pop Tart.

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