Marlon Brando, Queen Latifah and Miss Piggy rushed over when they saw the running fountain. They were emaciated, if you could call it that, but there was still a lot of hanging flesh. It was a deserted place. They were on their last legs.
There were little benches around the fountain, but they stood in front of the benches, reaching over and gulping down water furiously.
“Do you think it’s good to drink?” Miss Piggy said between gulps.
“Iddel be a cupla secks,” said Marlon.
“What?” said the Queen.
“Izza couple deps from this,” said Marlon.
“Do you understand him?” asked the Queen.
“Uh-uh,” said Piggy. “Are you OK, Marlon?”
“Heyep,” said Marlon, and fell over. A little cloud of dust rose in the air. Piggy and the Queen bent over him, trying to revive him. It was no use; he was gone.
“Oh my God, Oh my God.” said the Queen.
But it was what they had, in a sense, been waiting for. Vultures had been following them.

07/19/2004 qualcomm: good work killing brando, by the way. incidentally, this reminds me of a marlon brando dream i had just last night: in it, he wasn't dead, but his doctor had told him he had only like 8 weeks to live. when this hit the news, there was an incredibly huge outpouring of popular love toward MB, and he went on a tour where he gave autographs and had his picture taken with people. i felt very moved throughout these proceedings.
