Who Killed Frosty?

It was a horrific video. The victim was standing innocently in the street in Champaign-Urbana when a city bus is shown swerving to hit him. The victim literally seems to explode — piece flying under and over the bus. The bus driver has now resigned, but the snowman will never see Christmas.

The video you can watch transfixed as “thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go.”

Jan Kijowski, a spokeswoman for Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District, will only say that the driver has resigned. I will note that the snowman was placed in the middle of the street.

Of course, all hope is not lost . . .

For Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
“Don’t you cry,
I’ll be back again some day.”
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.

  1. One wonders what possessed the bus driver to risk life, limb, and employment to swerve a 12-14 ton bus into the wrong lane on a curve of a snow covered highway just to hit a snowman. Looks like juveniles all around if you ask me. Professionally, I am wondering if I would have a claim for an injured bus passenger if I sued the prnaksters for maintaing an attractive nuisance.

  2. Very good Mr. W. Frost–may you be in frostbite ‘eaven a full ‘alf snowflake afore the Global Warming devil knows yer frozen dead….

  3. Thanks for the info Rafflaw.

    Know if he’s done any time in the cooler.
    Any wrapping sheet on the guy??

    Just askin’

  4. I think that this is just one more sad example of a drug deal gone bad! Frosty the “Snowman” was just his drug moniker.

    Thanks for starting the laugh riot, Mr. Frost.

    Now keep your kids away from my tomatoes!

  12. Feet frozen to the ground…
    Holy fong fong, I never knew that.

    And that thing about the titanic, you mean it happened differently.

    I’m blushing.

    It wasn’t suicide, you ever tried to avoid a reckless oncoming bus when your feet were frozen to the pavement? What’s next from you, a claim that the innocent iceberg minding its own business, hanging out in the North Atlantic committed suicide by the Titanic?”

    LOL!!

  15. Anon nurse,

    I heard Frosty was running with the wrong crowd..
    He’s been asking for it I tell ya.

    He’s been running with a bunch of snow blowers…
    Yes mam..

  18. Speaking as a member of the extended Frost clan, I must say the posting of the reckless homicide of Frosty-The-Snowman has had a chilling effect on all the intrepid young Frosty’s in the Frost family who might consider venturing across an icy road on a frosty winter night in their efforts to learn why the chicken crossed the frosty road, lo that frost bitten night so long ago. Defrosting should be classified as a hate crime with a mandatory 40 years in the cooler.
