[OBIT] Pillsbury Dough Boy enters 10-3-39
rsfc | 1-APR-2014 | The always famous anonymous

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 49.

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 the 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 was still a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had a bun in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 350 for about 20 minutes.

He always annoyed me. I had dark fantasies of trapping him in a waffle iron.

In way that sort of reminded me of this brief dialog from Godfather II:

Fredo: Look, we were all upset about that, Frankie. Heart attack, huh?
Willie Cicci: No - No, that was no heart attack.

His uncle was a neo nazi.

Once seen giving the Hitler salute and yelling “white flour!”
