Thread Name: Obit: Sergeant Preston of the Yukon
Subject: RE: Obit: Sargent Preston of the Yukon
And briefly......the Lone Ranger. I gather he was a good studio voice. I wonder if someone like him ever reaped any internet benefits..like fan clubs, trivia stuff, shopping mall openings etc.
I just had this MONSTROUS image of Sgt Preston being played by OUR generation's RICHARD SIMMONS!!!
My gawd I'll have to stop thining of the possibilities or I'll be in very homophobic areas....
I picture him showing up at a mad trapper's cabin (they WERE all mad weren't they?) in his red uniform with curly perm showing from under his Mountie hat.....with tears in his eyes, BEGGING the trapper to try and understand that with a proper diet he wouldn't be as mad. Possibly a tad rough, but NOT mad.
Later, Sgt Richard is back at home, curled up in his stylish but woodsy cabin with Yukon King at his feet and his two cats Snowball and Nanook.
