I'll be eating wieners for lunch tomorrow in tribute.


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I guess that means Liza is out of the way if you count him as a celebrity.

Conan O'Brien just joked that his funeral would be "open-bun."

We laugh because we love.

'Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener!'

This was Oscar Meyer III, not the founder.

He was a business exec. for the company who retired in 1977, and the grandson of the founder.

Heard that he was laid out in a giant bun.
