Gerry Thomas, 84
The man that invented TV dinners passed away on July 21st.
This man is credited, in our little dysfunctional family at least, for feeding the family when there wasn't enough cash for McDonalds or Little Ceasers. The Swanson dinner aided in the downward spiral of the nuclear family. Mom can rush out to the bar and get hammered while the kiddies can dine on gelationous mystery meat, dried out corn and blazing hot styrofoam mashed potatoes with the icy cold center. I remember skipping the first 6 aisels at the grocery store then stocking up on Tide, Bounty then finishing off with six or seven 2 Liters of Diet Coke and rounding out the trip by picking out two weeks worth of turkey pot pies, Stoffers Mac & Cheese, and Swanson's Heat and Eat. Ahhh memories...
Here's to you Mr. Thomas.

Banquet fried chicken with mashed potatoes and corn. The best TV dinner EVER!
