There's a morbid joke in there, somewhere. Like, "it will be half as long until the next guy dies" or something

Some years ago I saw Barry Humphries in a TV interview and he came across as a modest, almost self-effacing, man in stark contrast to the waspish suburban monster that is Dame Edna and the appalling Sir Les Patterson.
A bit of a puzzle really but perhaps even his TV appearance as himself was an act.
It's probably not the sort of thing that I should admit to in polite company, but Sir Les was my favourite Barry Humphries character.
The crass nature and monumental lack of self-awareness of the character was its USP, toe-curlingly embarrassing as it was to all but Sir Les himself.
Requiescat in pace.

Sprinker was born in the slimy town of Muck. Not Murka. Some people remain mired in where they came from.

I stopped checking in long before the "Mommy" thing, but never mind "Mommy=Blogging" -I think she was instrumental in introducing blogging to the masses. She was so human, so real, not about bragging and me me me and not afraid to share the things in her life that weren't the best. Maybe over-shared sometimes, but that's what made it so ?innovative?
Reminded me of Sundae Girl a bit.

Good riddance, as far as I'm concerned.
I think I'm right about this; when she moved to Switzerland, she not only left the US, but she denounced her US citizenship. Granted, I don't know why she did that, but I have no sympathy for people who do that.
Not a popular sentiment, I'm sure, but a sincere one.
