Fans Flock to Mourn California, 1849-2009

LOS ANGELES – Millions of fans from around the globe gathered along Sunset Boulevard to pay final respects to California today, as a slow moving funeral procession transported the eccentric superstar state’s remains to its final resting place in a Winchell’s Donuts dumpster in Van Nuys. The self-proclaimed ‘King of Pop Culture’ died last week at 160, in what coroners ruled an accidental case of financial autoerotic asphyxiation. The death sent shock waves across the world and sparked an outpouring of grief by rabid fans.

UPDATE:  It occurred to me while I was out walking the dogs – the time when all most important thoughts arise in proper context – that this makes California, the state (or un-state) in which I reside (or un-reside), Zombie California.
