Robert Goulet and His Mustache Die at 73

October 31, 2007 Comments

After hearing Robert Goulet died yesterday of pulmonary fibrosis, it's hard to know what to say of someone my generation probably knows best through a mocking (yet hilarious) caricature on SNL. Am I still allowed to laugh as I watch Will Ferrell, mustached and bespectacled, sing a Goulet version of "The Thong Song"? Is it funny or tragic that, as doctors inserted breathing tubes, the baritone crooner said, "Just watch my vocal cords"? I would definitely think it was funny a couple days ago, but now I'm not so sure.

These are questions to ponder as you prepare your hilarious Zombie Goulet costume tonight.
