A sad day...food "icon" passes away
:spank: made ya click :spank:



Sad News

It is with the saddest heart that we must pass on the following news: Please join us in remembering another 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.

Using the stage name "Poppin Fresh", he was mainstay in kitchens across America.

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 gravesite 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, as a crusty old man,was 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 father, Pop Tart.

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

Heartbreaking. I'm re-enacting the funeral myself this evening with a loaf of his poppin-fresh French Bread.
