R.I.P. La Rue


Well, I had planned to make a running diary of my experiences buying food and supplies for my grandmother in a nursing home, and I had garnered quite a bit of material. True to form, she surprised everybody and checked out early Thanksgiving morning - certainly not souring the turkey, but giving us some added conversation around the table. My relationship with my grandmother was a tad "complex" - putting me in line with the rest of her offspring. My maternal grandparents were there for Thanksgiving, and I swear I saw my grandmother shoot me a glare when I made a comment that was less than respectful - In honor of her, I will be reverent in this post and get back to the funny later.

My condolences...did she die of skin cancer or from a botched skin-dyeing procedure?

I always thought that guy was some sort of African royalty sent/banished to Yuma to earn his throne. I was told he had to live homeless and penniless to prove himself worthy to return to his homeland and take control. Urban Legand? Yuma Legand?
