Mr Humphries
Actress Mollie Sugden dies at 86

I loved "Are You Being Served?" growing up. I still love it, though I've seen every episode multiple times.

Even though our kitty came to us pre-named, I maintain that she was named Mollie after the actress who played the cat-loving Mrs. Slocombe.

She will be missed, and I am unanimous in that.

That, and another actor named Karl passed away earlier today. He was in his 90s, though.

Death needs to take a holiday.

Sad, though not unexpected. Dying is kinda what 86-year-olds do.

I do hope they bury her in a colorful wig...

Don't tell that to my grandma (92 and counting...)

I hope they do, too.

Also of some relevance, a news story from The Register, entitled "Mrs Slocombe's pussy vanishes from Twitter". (Affectionately known as "El Reg", The Register focuses on tech news and never misses an opportunity to include a double-entendre in a headline.)

I was saddened by that news as well. I love "Are you being served?"

Aww I used to watch that all the time growing up and everyone thought I was crazy. I haven't run into someone else who knew about it let alone watched it. What a very sad day.
