Dixie Cup dispenser & Tupperware designer, Morison S. Cousins, 66

[R. Kane]

WINTER PARK, Fla. (AP) - Morison S. Cousins, an industrial
designer who created the Dixie Cup dispenser, died Saturday of
cancer. He was 66.

In 1963, Cousins and his brother, Michael, formed Cousins Design
in New York and won a series of design awards. A 1970 Dixie Cup
dispenser was one of the brothers' most widely recognized products.
The narrow, simple cylinder remained on the market for 20 years,
with 100 million sold.

Cousins was Tupperware Corp.'s vice president for design, a
position he held since 1990. He designed nearly two dozen objects
for Tupperware, including bowls, canisters, a kitchen timer, a
vase, colanders and vegetable peelers.

More than two dozen of his works are part of the permanent
collections at the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum
of Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert National Museum of Art
and Design in London, and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in
Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Wonder if his coffin will provide that snap-seal freshness for years
to come.

I hope the mortician remembers to "burp" the coffin before internment.

I think they're going to bury the guy, not put him in jail.

Chalk up another language peeve. I got about six emails from my
alumni association about a classmate of mine who had died and how I
should, if I could, try to make it to the "internment" on the campus
grounds. I wrote back that "internment" was what happened to him the
*first* time he was there, and that I had to send regrets as to
attending his *interment*.

The guy didn't even get it. I doubt he owns a dictionary.

I guess if you're dyslexic you don't see the difference between RNM
and RM. Is that one hump or two?
