Tragedy Has Struck Us Today

Post by Lord_Mountbatten » 24 Nov 2011, 07:48

The inspirational light entertainer (more famously known for his comedic routines and banjo-playing antics on CBCS, Kentucky's greatest provider of entertainment), Jimmy "Jangles'" Bangles has tragically passed away earlier today at the ripe old age of 89.

"I always remember the suitcase in a chicken sketch," was what Frank Franklin, owner of a small Café west of route 58 called " The Bangin' Jangles" had to say. "The moment he opened it was one of the greatest scenes I've ever witnessed."

"I loved Jimmy as a son," says his 108 year-old mother, Felicity. "He was too good for this world. I had wished to see him perform just a few more times before I'd go out in a blaze of glory whilst robbing a gas station. Now there's nothing preventing me from doing just that."

I would very much appreciate it if we could all send our tributes to one of the greatest entertainers ever to grace the people of Bristol. I wish ol' "Jangles'" a grand old time in the "big revue", as he used to call his local cemetery.

I remember the first time I heard old Jangles himself.

This really is a sad sad day.

He was in an episode of Doctor Who, y'know. Uncredited, he didn't want people kicking up a fuss.

I think he got vaporised by something.

Exactly what I said. Also, downer on Thanksgiving even though I didn't know who he was.

This is more of a downer.
