A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

RYDELL HIGH IS HIRING A NEW SECRETARY. XYLOPHONE SKILLS A MUST: Dody Goodman, who played Blanche in both Grease and Kim's favorite film, has passed away. She was 93. I love this description of her distinctive voice: "like a Tweetie Pie cartoon bird strangling on peanut butter."

And completing the pop culture triumvirate of obits in today's Times with Goodman and George Carlin is Kermit Love, the costume designer responsible for helping create Big Bird, Mr. Snuffleupagus and Oscar the Grouch.

And speaking of Carlin, the news happened too late to make the Monday Chicago Tribune, but ironically the op-ed page yesterday featured this cartoon.
