Sad: That guy who ate the hot dogs in Meatballs, RIP

According to several news reports, Peter Hume, the actor/Canadian professional wrestler who played "The Stomach" in the prtotypical teen camp movie Meatballs died last week in his sleep. In case you don't remember him, he was that actor that you probably frequently confused with Stephen Furst or Josh Mostel. I'm not sure why, but this news made me profoundly sad when I read it. I don't know if I was expecting a sequel to be made or what, although merely the thought of Bill Murray, made up as Raleigh St.Clair and shaking his booty to "Makin' It" by David Naughton and reciting the "Wudy the Wabbit" speech, makes me smile. So who knows.

On behalf of all the big funny guys in the world, I salute you.
