write an obituary to something that has gone under the radar, or give a tribute to an existing obituary.
R.I.P. Candy cigarettes
Killed by political correctness and a sudden awareness of brand suggestion, candy cigarettes were the dogs preverbial as a kid because they
a) looked like cigarettes which was well cool and,
b) were a sweet
but as is the way of all childhood sweets they have to disappear from view or we'd have nothing to wax nostalgic about. Gone are the mojos and the sherbert dib dabs of yesteryear. And gone are those ace candy cigarettes.
So good bye candy cigarettes, those wonderful treats that would let you pretend you were a five year old having a smoke and tasted vaguely of something pretending to be sugar.
No Flowers.

Trevor Moore. Friend of mine from years ago, founder of the comedy troupe Whitest Kids U Know, wrote directed and starred in multiple films, created multiple tv shows (including as a teenager), had multiple comic strips, several Comedy Central specials and comedy albums. If it sounds like he was insanely accomplished it's because he was unlike anybody I have ever known. Unbelievable ambition and focus and drive but somehow nice and no ego and fun and easy to get along with. I've been posting stuff on my facebook and twitter and etc. I'm still in shock. It's also weird when someone you know passes away but everyone knows his stuff from TV and etc. Strange feeling. It's been a really horrible, weird week. |
