Larry Laprise dies
« on: August 11, 2010, 02:44:13 PM »
Larry Laprise, the writer of the "Hokey Pokey" (yep, someone actually wrote this song...) died recently, and there were complications with the burial. Seems that Larry's corpse didn't want to go into the casket. Seems that they first put his right leg in, then they took his right leg out, then they put his right leg in, and they shook it all about...
