“Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel at this moment. No amount of tears can purge my soul of the loss. Bagwine Kringle gave so much to so many, and his passing will be felt the world 'round.”
That was the comment from one, Dex Lexler. Mr. Lexler age 51, was a close friend to Springfield, Ohio icon and self-proclaimed Santa, Harley Rusbam, also known as Bagwine Kringle, and more simply, BK.
Mr. Rubsam, 67, of 819 Cedar St., was pronounced dead yesterday at Springfield Regional Medical Center due to an accidental ingestion of fish bones.
It seems BK and a couple of his “elves”, Tina Trinity and the aforementioned Mr. Lexlar, were hurriedly wrapping Christmas presents for some of the less fortunate local kids.
While Ms. Trinity and Mr. Lexler selfishly ran next door to grab a sandwich, Bagwine Kringle the workaholic that he is, ate what he had on hand and continued the Christmas assemblage.
He was hurriedly gulping down some Salmon Fancy Feast cat food and evidently began to choke on a small bone. When Dex and Trinity returned, he was lying on the floor gasping for air.
Mr. Lexler called the paramedics while Tina attempted to ply Kringle with some Wild Irish Rose to relax his throat muscles.
She quickly found out that that was not the best idea.
He spewed out a mixture of WIR and bile that was described as, “a poorly made Sterno sauce with a stench reminiscent of Steel Reserve urine.”
Although nearing death, Bagwine Kringle was with his two best friends.
BK was with his dear friend Tina, whose street name is, “Bowling Ball.” Tina is a 48 year old prostitute with large breasts, two prosthetic legs, and a glass eye.
Her seductive wiles are legendary. Some women can spread their legs incapably wide, but Tina, she can take hers completely off.
She is also very accommodating. If a client is feeling extremely kinky, she will pop out her glass eye, and let him give her, shall we say...a facial.
Tina is one who gives and gives, and that is why she and Bagwine Kringle were pals.
And then, there's good ol’ Dex Lexler, or “Sarge”, as BK called him. Dex was never in the military, but BK always kidded him that he looked like the dog from Beetle Bailey.
True, the dog’s name was actually Otto, but BK was close. The two shared so many of the same traits…compassion, generosity, and cirrhosis of the liver.
They were of one mind inside of two bodies and now sadly, they are half the men they used to be…or something like that.
When paramedics arrived, BK was nearly expired. His lungs raled bilaterally, desperately gasping for air, but it was not to be.
Tina and Sarge looked down upon BK as they sobbed unrelentingly.
And then, as the medics placed him on the cart, Bagwine Kringle looked at his friends with that familiar twinkle in his one good eye, and with his final breath said...
“Don’t cry for me Sarge ‘n’ Tina.”
Cheers!!
