The Pillsbury Doughboy is no longer with us


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 years young.

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, three children; John Dough,
Jane Dough and Dosey 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 20 minutes.

Another Sign I am getting old

I ran across this article today and found this little tidbit:

"USU sophomore running back Curtis Marsh is the son of former Ute Curtis Marsh (same name). The elder Marsh, whose NFL career included stints with Jacksonville, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, was a senior in 1994 when Kyle Whittingham joined the Utah coaching staff."

I still remember being 18 and down in Arizona with Dirk Handlebar at my brother's house. I remember watching the Air Force v Utah game in which my brother says "I'll bet they throw to Curtis Marsh and the ball bounces off his helmet" As soon as he said that the next play was 40 yard pass to marsh (he was wide open) that bounced off his helmet.
