Yes, it was just reported the actor who played Mr. Whipple, on the retro Charmin commercials, has died. I believe they said he was 91. The video below is the earliest one I remember, I think I was about 4 at the time, somewhere around there.
In other news, Weedon's blog post about hunting has made me think about Boar hunting. If anyone were to hunt, wild boars would be the perfect animal. They are NASTY, will sometimes indeed try to attack you back, and they taste good, I hear. I know they are a problem in parts of Marin, but I may be sent to a re-education camp if I am found with a gun in this area. I better do some research.
I wouldn't feel bad about hunting in this case. Giving thanks to God would be important, also. I don't take this hunting thing lightly. Maybe I should look into it. There are others who are doing it, and I do believe it is legal in certain areas.
Hey, then I can buy all that weird gadgetry from Cabella's, like smoking stuff and sausage making equipment. And wear weird orange hats. Don't laugh, I am attracted to this idea!
I better get a gun fast, before it is completely illegal here.

Well, I bet if you looked hard enough you might even be able to find an LCMS mauve hunter's hat. I'll have to see if I can find one and send it to you for Christmas! ;)
I think you're a closet midwesterner. You must be, to even be considering hunting.
In parts of West Africa boars are called bush pig. They stink, they're uuuuuggggly buggers and short tempered, too. Deserve to be roasted on a spit, I say. Mmmmm... bacon.....
Weedon, one of these days I'm going to show up at your church. I swear, I am going to do it.
By the way, the idea of the orange is so that people SEE ME, and not so I blend in. Trying to kill me now, are you? ;-)
Tuskgirl: Yeah, hunting wasn't big in the Italian-American area of Northern NJ. Well, there were some shootings in my town, but of a different variety. But we are good at shooting at things when we get annoyed. So I figure, these boars are annoying, so why not eat them. Make a little capacol.
The squealing may be horrendous, though, if I don't nail one right in the brain. Hmm.
Hunting is still legal here, and I'm in California!(the Southern regions)
The Non-Denoms are leaving their Barn Churches and flushing out us non-comformist Lutheran types.
They will track us, and tree us, and skin us alive (if we let them).
They want to know why we baptise babies as if WE were skinning them.
They want to know why we won't come into the Barn and accept Jesus and march in lockstep with 3 foot Bibles like good little Christians.
If you ever talk to one (a non-denom)try not to look or act like a Lutheran. Try to hide the look of freedom in your eyes. Sunglasses may help. When they drone on and on about all the great "programs" at their church..try to seem interested.It just might save your life.
I'll never figure out why when I leave a comment(on a blog) the machine leaves my ph. # hanging out there like a soiled undergarment exposed from a gruesome accident.
I just don't get it.
The New Yorker had an article about wild hogs a couple of years ago. They're big and nasty and taking over. And, like elephant's child said--BACON. By all means, take a few out for us. And take my gun-totin' husband with you; I want one too. Here's a link to the abstract: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2005/12/12/051212fa_fact_frazier
The Perry Bible Fellowship comic has a great comic about bacon:

Check out High Bridge Arms, "the best and only gun shop in San Francisco":

Sounds like a great place.
Good hunting! I look forward to hearing about what you cook after you get a pig.
I see what unites all us Lutherans....bacon!
Vernon, you have to stop by on a regular basis. You crack me up, I love it.
Rebekah-I looked at the article. Yeah, many parts of the country are having this boar problem. They will kill people's pets, too.
Brent: I never even thought there would be a gun store IN the city. How cool is that?! Thanks!
FoP: checking out joke now...;-)
