Fare well Soupy Sales!

G'day Everyone.

The stars are dying. And I don't mean the ones that go NOVA and become a black hole in space. I mean the great Hollywood stars are DYING.

One of the greatest Legends of Comedy has passed on. http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/10/23/soupy.sales/index.html

I grew up watching and laughing about this guy. Easy to lip read, excellent body language, and masterful acting this guy knew HOW to make people laugh. Laughing hard that is.

It's becoming clear that Hollywood is looking for new talent to replace the ones that retiring or dying. Who will replace a man like Soupy sales? These are hard shoes to fill.

But as he is gone, I can only say this for him: Soupy Sales, I don't care how many soupy sales of soups are sold out there. But you have freely given us time to laugh and forget about our troubles. We know you loved to see us laughing and smile. We know you enjoyed life.
Today, we ask of God to take you in His care and grace and giving you eternal rest in His glory.
Thank you, Soupy Sales, for making our lives a bit easier to bear on this earth. Enjoy your rest.

Semper FI!
