The Death of Johnny Gumbo...

The iconic character, born in pre-Katrina New Orleans at Lucy's Retired Surfer's Bar after a few morning Bloody Marys, has, tragically, passed.

New Orleans Times-Picayune obit:
The Gumbo was laid to rest in a quiet, sparsely attended ceremony recently next to the dumpster at the local hang-out, The Float. Long time musical buddy, Jose Feliciano, was on hand to sing one of the Gumbo's favorites "Feliz Navidad." Attendees were given used hot dog wrappers to scatter over the coffin. Long remembered for his lack of judgement, devil may care, throw caution to the wind attitude, the Gumbo's epitaph read "Yu know Whaat?!"

The Death of Me by Dex Romweber Duo:
With your lies, your lies, your lies
And your perfect pair of thighs

Lucky Dog wrappers, no doubt.
