Ed McMahon (1923-2009)

Ed McMahon, 86, died today, apparently from complications from bone cancer and pneumonia. The official cause of death has not been released yet.

McMahon was born in Detroit, MI but grew up in nearby Lowell, MA.

I wonder if, when Ed got to the pearly gates, St. Peter announced his arrival like this: "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Ed!"


Or maybe, upon his arrival at the pearly gates, St. Peter handed Ed a Publisher's Clearing House direct mail piece/ sweepstakes packet, complete with full color ads for all of the useless crap PCH peddles to get you to enter their lousy contests. I wonder if Ed's picture was on the outside of the envelope... St. Peter then says to Ed, "You can't enter (heaven) if you don't enter the sweepstakes." or maybe, "no purchase necessary to enter (heaven)."

Or maybe not.
