Baghdad Bob (Bagdad Bob) Dead, Chokes To Death
By Daily Hog Staff
Damascus, Syria - While taping the final season of "Baghdad Bob Speaks", somewhere in Syria, the colorful former Iraqi Information Minister collapsed and died while taping his final live, pre-recorded news release, for the Al-Jazeera Satellite network.

When the production crew first noticed Baghdad Bob turning purple, they didn't think anything of it. Ali Waffle, long time cameraman for Baghdad Bob said BB often turned purple when he was telling lies.

However, when BB started gasping for air and began throwing his hands violently, pounding his chest, beating the microphones and destroying the set, Sinban Goofbarla, Baghdad Bob's cue card holder, knew something wasn't right.

"I knew something was wrong, I just knew it, so, I checked the cue cards for spelling errors, they appeared to be fine", said Goofbarla, explaining he knew from past experiences a typo existed.

Sinban Goofbarla continued to check the cue cards for errors, meanwhile Baghdad Bob collapsed to the floor and started kicking and frothing from the mouth, according to Ali Waffle, the cameraman, who continued filming.

"The situation was getting very bad, I started to fear for his life, so I helped Sinban search the cue cards for the error. I didn't want to see Sinban executed over a typo", said Waffle.

When it became obvious Baghdad Bob was choking to death, it was too late. A Doctor was later called to the set and pronounced Baghdad Bob dead. In the official death certificate leaked to the media, Dr. Omar al Shar, listed the cause of Baghdad Bob's death as, "Choking to death on his own words".

Yanno this guy if he hasnt been caught or killed already should just give up.

when all is said and done he would make a fortune here in the USA with his own comedy TV show.

Hell he could probably make a fortune just by doing all the talk shows.

Or perhaps a carreer on Sat night live.

As much as he was the enemy.
After all those comical press breifings he gave does anyone truely hate him?

no need to kiss GS's arse

GS is probably the most hateful, arrogant and warped person on this BBS.

I wonder if he even has a job. I picture him as an angry, bitter person with no sense of purpose in life.

All that may be true Nuke. Doesnt change the fact that I thought the idea of comparing Baghdad Bob to ANY of us on this bbs was hilarious. :rofl In other words, I wasnt laughing at GS, I was laughing at the joke. ;)

Nash, really?

He seems very hateful to me.

I never have bashed a country or it's people that I can recall, but he has cosistantly compaired my country to Nazi Germany.

Then there's the fact that he put me on ignor because he found me "irritating"......as if he isn't.

The guy is uptight at the very least.

Look... I find Rude hateful. Why don't you?

Mebbe it's because you agree with the absolute BS that comes out of his mouth? Or ya figure you're better off ducking and letting it slide?

Yet, you come out against GS?

It's a stance thing. Yer picking sides is all that's happening here.

Not picking sides. I haven't followed Rude much so I don't know what you're talking about.

If you would have made a statement againt Rude similar to what I made against GS, I would not have replied....

GS has consistantly labeled my country as evil and Nazi like. He put me on ignore simply because he didn't agree with me, which shows me how narrow minded he is.

GS is a narrow minded, US hating prik. He seems to have no other purpose on this BBS or in life.
