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 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. Born and bread in Minnesota, 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

Regrettably,
Keith Stewart of “Keith & Enid fame”, as well as boasting a stellar career as a
cabaret artist on the North Coast back in the 60s & 70s, has passed away. His velvet voice can
be well remembered as he captivated numerous audience at the famous
Yellow Bird club back in the 60s. He was also a good amateur tennis player.

At one time, Bangkok television aired the American situation comedy
LaVerne and Shirley. For whatever reason, officials there believed
that a disclaimer was necessary for the Thailand audience, so this
subtitle was added to each show: “The two women depicted in the
following episode are from an insane asylum.”
.
Personally, I’m thankful there is a little silliness in the world.
And I don’t mind not acting like everybody else. Like the
“irrepressible” educator and speaker Leo Buscaglia once said: “I don’t
mind if people think I’m crazy. In fact, I think it’s great! It
gives me tremendous latitude for behavior.”
.
Buscaglia knew how to laugh. And I think knowing how to laugh and
have fun is an important part of living.
.
Someone asked me what I do for fun. I felt I should answer with
something others enjoy, like golf or skiing. But my idea of fun is
not usually associated with entertainment and recreation. It is more
about squeezing as much enjoyment into every day as I can. Instead
of looking for something fun to do, I try to make whatever I do a
little more fun. And if I can’t always do things I enjoy, I can
learn to enjoy more of the things I do.
.
I like the word “enjoyment” because it has “joy” inside of it. So
does the word “rejoice.” And rejoicing is a way to find enjoyment of
life.
.
Speaking of Leo Buscaglia, he used to tell a story about his mother
and their “misery dinner.” It was the night after his father came
home and said it looked as if he would have to go into bankruptcy
because his partner had absconded with their firm’s funds. His
mother’s response was to sell some of her jewelry to buy food enough
for a grand feast. At first, other members of the family scolded her
for it. But she told them that “the time for joy is now, when we

“Just one more time”
By Bob Perks
.
“Damp, musty and well-worn.” It certainly wouldn’t catch your attention in a travel brochure.
.
“No indoor plumbing. Hand pump for water located in back of the building.”
.
No, that wouldn’t make me want to stay there either.
.
“Out house conveniently located in front of or directly behind your rental.”
.
What? No way!

So why do I long to return to those places of my youth?
