Comedian/songwriter Fred Travalena DEAD!

You're asking yourself "Who in the fornication is Fred Travalena?"



He was THE impressionist in the 70's and 80's that wasn't Rich Little. If you remember seeing a stand-up comedian on TV doing impressions of a President or a Celebrity in the 70's or 80's and it wasn't Rich Little? IT WAS FRED TRAVALENA.

Is it just me, or does today's Celebrity Death seem kinda lacking?

You remember in the Old Days of Wheel of Fortune, when they'd have the winner "spend" his or her winnings on variety of prizes that were set-up on a spinning display? "I'll take the Pair of Motor Bikes for $800, the Trip To The Bahamas for $950... the year of Maid Service for $600... the Giant Ceramic Dog for $300... and the rest of it on a Gift Certificate".

Fred Travalena is definitely the Giant Ceramic Dog of this current Death March. Not enough to get the Pinball Machine, too much to put the rest on a gift certificate... guess I'll get The Fred Travalena.

Death is really grasping now.

Margie from My Little Margie died too. This set of 3 ended with a whimper, eh?

But it started with a Kaboom!


I'll go to the corner now

It's not even just celebs. My best friend just told me that two people in her life completely unexpectedly died yesterday. What the hell is going on?

When I was a kid I used to yell at the tv - pick the ceramic dog! The ceramic dog! But no one ever did. Wonder where that poor guy went.

This is begging to be made into an icon.
