The Mud Stud is in mourning this morning. It seems that Donald E. Goerke, “the Daddy-O of SpaghettiOs,” has gone to that Great Executive Washroom in the Sky. He was 83.
Goerke was the Campbell Soup exec behind the creation of the Stud’s favorite food in the mid-1960s. It apparently took some doing, coming up with the right recipe for spaghetti, tomato and cheese in a can, but Goerke’s brainchild was a hit with some other babies, those of the boomer variety.
And SpaghettiOs wasn’t his only offspring. Altogether, Goerke was credited with helping to introduce more than 100 products that earned more than $500 million in sales for the company. Uh-oh, SpaghettiOs, indeed.
Speaking of delicious treats, the hard-hitting, hotshot journos at Livestrong have concocted a recipe for an all-natural snack that you can whip up right at home. Low in fat, high in protein — go ahead, Livestrongers, give yourselves a hand. And perhaps a Kleenex.

So what exactly does nurse Lara Alspaugh do for the team? How did she determine the relationship between lifestyle and semen taste?
That is so weird … 99% sure I just read that exact same livestrong article in a Fall ’09 copy of Psyche Today. Not going to take the time to cross-google it, but pretty sure it’s a repub without the appropriate citation or crediting. Oh well … everything’s free on the intertubes, yeah?
“Give yourselves a hand …” Again, brilliant.
Waiiiittt a minute. Isn’t it still a few months to go until April Fool’s Day?
A friend who is a computer geek suggests the site was hacked.
Khal,
Perhaps the site was jacked?
C’mon, get a grip on yourselves. …
Even so….that is effing classic!! Something Conan would do while Jay warbles on about Lawd knows what. And hence, the reason that Leno is NOT funny.
Cum to think of it, I bet the site got more hits than ever before.
It’s been a money shot, for sure.
Geez, I thought the bit was about canned pasta which, in Italy where I’m typing this from is probably around the same culinary level as eating Spam. I got an internet connection hooked up here to read how to make one’s semen taste better? Perhaps if one shoots as much of it around as BigTex was rumored to be doing during his retirement from cycling, it matters….otherwise? RIP to the Spaghetti-O guy, a generation of fat slobs probably thanks you. Amazingly, here in Italy everyone enjoys plenty of pasta but not many of the folks are fat. Can we change the subject now, PER FAVORE?
Let’s just bring this discussion to a happy ending.
I agree, Jeff. This discussion has definitely shot its load.
I think we all need a smoke and a nap.
