Famous Last Words: "I'll be gentle with you"

Oh Jessica’s Random Trucker Dude (whose name is Hank, but who would remember that?), didn’t anyone ever tell you to beware of beautiful lot lizards? I would say “shame on you” for bringing what appeared to be a young and innocent girl into your cab, but since you didn’t survive the experience, I’ll forgo the ethical lecture. She didn’t mean to kill you, and although your death really freaked her out, I’m super-glad she didn’t accidentally turn you because the show doesn’t need anymore rednecks. I admit to laughing at your expense during Jessica’s chat with Auntie Pam about what to do with you.

Hank the Random Trucker with a Random Small Child, Presumably His

The Lysol and the chainsaw would’ve been a disgusting turn of events, so it’s just as well Franklin Mott popped off your head (even if the talking bit was quite macabre) and half-assed buried the rest of you. I’m sure someone, somewhere, misses you, and it’s sad that they’ll probably never know what happened, but those are the breaks sometimes. Rest in peace, Jessica’s Trucker.

    dear latbfan thank you so much for you eloquent and considerate obituaries. No character is too humble for your attentions, you most generous lady. thank you

  3. Aemac says:

    I seriously loved this obit. Thanks Lat for doing such a great one.

  4. Acanthus says:

    What Aemac said. My god, you’re a genius at this stuff, latbfan. You make a credible obit for a character with, what , 20 secs of living screen time? There is so definitely a place for you at the New York Times.

    Might you be thinking of doing Eddie’s? I loved Eddie.

    Back to Dead Trucker : what a great facilitator, this guy. As a corpse, or just the head of one, he really moved along the plot points and the fun and the irony and the real nitty gritty of learning how to be a vampire. He was ‘My Weekend with Bernie”.

    Great obit latbfan !

  6. Lividity says:

    Way seriously… can you imagine if Random Trucker Dude was actually turned into a vampire? I mean, can you? Talk about off the wall nutz!

    Jess was very cute in her desperation to save him though. What a brilliant addition to the series was Jessica. And to think, after the first season I wasn’t onboard. For shame!

    LATB – is it bad that I giggled at this obit? Couldn’t help it. And yeah, Jess is like 17 and he’s gotta be in his upper 30s. Sick bastard. Serves him right if you ask me!
