I Live In a Van Down By the River

Chris Farley One of SNL’s funniest comediennes Delighted my husband and me We loved his line “I live in a van down by the river” I used it once at a family reunion When a relative asked where I live My mother immediately began explaining that I had a house I said “sure, but I am putting two hours a day on my car. I live in my car, Mom.” “That’s not a van down by the river.” No, but it might as well have been. Chris Farley delighted me. I loved his expressions. He could make me laugh with a raised eyebrow. Dead at the young age of 33 Killed by a speedball Combination of morphine and cocaine Incredibly sad I still use his line to this day And think of him sometimes He was a delight.

Chris may have been a delight. But at least you didn't do what he did to himself, because you saw De Lite! ~ Flickering Switch
