Subject: Sad News Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2004 21:32:47 EDT It is with heavy heart that I must pass on the following news. Please join me in remembering a 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 7l. 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 considered 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 min.

OK - this scared the crap out of me, too! Guess we're so used to you giving updates on Rob that I was expecting something different. My heart sank for a minute. I'm OK now, and very sad to hear about the Dough Boy. He and I spent quite a bit of time together in the past! He will be missed! Thanks for sharing - don't scare me like that again! -Wendy ;o)

You know, funny you should mention this scaring ya'll! It did me too. Funny how we are so used to Joy posting NEWS BULLETINS about Rob that we automatically think that's what her post is about. As for the Dough Boy.... he had been banned from my home before his demise and well, I missed him then and will continue to miss him now!

BTW: Joy, you have been an exceptional

for Rob, something we all thank you for profusely! Everyone should be so lucky to have an

like you! Thanks for all the updates, including the one on Dough Boy! Gayle
