Who would do this to the Doughboy? (1 Viewer)

Poor guy.

I suppose a fight broke out when someone poked him where they shouldn't have?

Veteran Pillsbury spokesman, Pop N. Fresh, died yesterday of a severe yeast infection. He was 71.

Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent years. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth, the Californiia Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, and the Hostess Twinkies.

The grave side was piled high with flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who "never knew how much he was kneaded."

Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half- baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions.

Fresh is survived by his second wife. They have two children and one in the oven.

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

Which means they had to bury him in an expandable casket.

The doughboy shall rise again.

Daren that made me laugh out loud.

I have an old Star Trek fanzine with a comic of the original Trek crew meeting the inhabitants of the "Poppin Fresh" planet (something like that). The leader is beaming aboard and there's a transporter malfunction- Zap!- You guessed it- McCoy examines the remains and says "He's bread, Jim".

I suppose Uncle Ben couldn't make it?

Speaking of Uncle Ben, what happened to the Reddenbachers and Mr. and Mrs. M of the M&Ms? Or even the Elves of E.L. Fudge! Geeze! Talk about no-shows! This'll seriously hurt them come election time when they decide who'll be ruler of the planet of the Pillsburies!!

The funny thing is, a few years ago... on Halloween... in a bar, I remember seeing a fight break out between Dracula and the Pilsbury Dough Boy. Honestly.

Perhaps that's where that picture is from.
