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.
