[PJ-Comix]

The good news is the internet is FOREVER and so is Charles' BRILLIANT work for the DUmmie FUnnies. I remember I once asked Charles back in 2010 if he could write a song parody of "Some Enchanted Evening" from "South Pacific" called "Self-Recanted Evening." I figured it would take him about a week or at least a few days so imagine my SHOCK when he came came back with this just hours later:

Self-recanted evening,
When you see the flip-flops,
You may see where Pitt stops
Across the DUmmieland.
And somehow you know,
You know even then,
That sometime you'll see him
Recant once again.

Self-aggrandized weaving,
Bloviating windbag,
Going where the wind blows,
Not knowing where to stand.
He'll write to the left--
That's left to go right--
Will's so busy dancing,
He can't sleep at night.

Who can explain Pitt?
Who can tell you why?
Will gives two versions,
Neither one can fly.

Some fantastic FReeping!
Someone may be laughing,
You may hear the laughing
Among the DUFU fans.
And night after night,
When we go to bed,
That sound is our laughter--
Will Pitt's in our thread!

Once we have DUFUed
Will Pitt's swing and miss,
Then he'll discover
He can't recant this!

This is sad news. I always enjoyed his song parodies, and “Self Recanted Evening” was one of my favorites. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace with the Lord, Reverend Henrickson. Thank you for all your great contributions to this forum.

Just to ensure the historical record is straight, Mr. Henrickson originally coined the phrase "Magical Misery Tour" for Obama's non-campaign campaign tour in 2011. It was not Mitt Romney or Rush Limbaugh, who used the phrase later.

Tune: Beatles, "Magical Mystery Tour"
