Wordsworth J. Tipsie, Writer
Wordsworth J. Tipsie, esteemed writer and social commentator,
died at his home in Ohno, MN February 15, 2001
after a brief illness. He was 88.
Tipsie resigned as publisher of Obscurity Press just last year
after manifesting early signs of weisenheimers. He earned a
masters in obfuscation and a doctorate in deconstructive
sociopathy at Jim Jones University in Cider Rapids, MI, where
he was class valedictorian. His compelling charge to his classmates:
"carpe dictum!" Tipsie served for many years as editor-in-chief of
Pseudointellectual Dilettante Digest and was widely respected in
his field as a skilled and cunning linguist. It is little known, however,
that he was principal ghost writer of "Silence of the Lame",
eventually released as a blockbuster Hollywood movie.
Listed in "Who's Whose in America", Tipsie was a thousandaire
philanthropist and beloved community activist well known to his
local city council where he lobbied tirelessly on behalf of his
wood nympho erotification program and other ecological issues.
He was also a member of the Union of Concerned Scienticians,
who believe that clockworms are consuming the space-time
continuum, endangering reality.
He was interred Feb 17th after a small, private ceremony in
Bozesky, MN. His family asks that, in lieu of flowers and expressions
of sympathy or remorse, donations be made to the Firesign Theatre
Memorial Home for the Big of Head in Rustover, PA.
