Fallen comrades

[Goober McTuber]

We should have a list of our colleagues who have passed on.

Roger the Shrubber
Purple ROX
Bushice
Salad Tosser
Van

suckaholic is braindead, but that doesn't really count. Who else?

[BSmack]

Is Bushice confirmed wormfood or assumed to be?

You missed Bitter Pitsburgher aka scritti.

[Goober McTuber]

Bushice is presumed, but almost certain. He had health issues. We went back a ways and were IMing a bit about G-man, where he could be found, and how he might be fucked with. The discussion suddenly stopped. Bushice lived for that kind of shit.

[Mikey]

We're all getting older (some more than others).

Expect trolls to start dropping like rock stars at some point.
I figure I'll die someday from cobalt-chromium-molybdenum blood poisoning.

[Screw_Michigan]

No doubt 200lio passed on. That dude lived to troll this sordid clambake and then all of the sudden he drops off the face of the earth ERRR the Golden Gate Bridge. Shit, he won't even read a PM I sent him.

I actually sent him a PM a couple of years ago asking about...errrrr...wind chimes, because the wife was interested in getting some. I don't think it was ever read either.

[BSmack]

I recall someone saying that Peter Dragon offed himself. Wasn't he in here?

Is Six Pack Dan still with us? I have a vague recollection of him crossing over.

I chatted with him a few years ago.

He was on oxygen back then.

Dude was married, too.

[smackaholic]

Don't forget Valvenis and Index.

I really hope Van is still kicking, but doubt it.

If you are out there, you fukker, post.

What about e-clone? Used to see stuff on the web by nishlord, but not so much anymore. Really wish he would get back in here. He was easily the funniest fukker in the history of this place.

Got that straight. A regular poster will be listed MIA when they stop showing up. I doubt if any of our significant others give a crap. Those who do not post much if at all will be another story. Sup Luther?

[Carson]

Cuda?

[lovebuzz]

I got another response on that email, but I don't think it's Van. Can't imagine someone else has that addy. Maybe some family member is checking it. Waiting to hear back.

Definitely not Van responding.

[BSmack]

I was shocked to get a reply from his email addy. Must be a family member. I figured he must have passed away after no response for so long. He was in really bad shape with a recurrence of the cancer when we last spoke.

I remember the last time he showed up for one of my radio shows. He was sounding very optimistic about his chances. Stage Four cancer is like the 85 Bears of cancer stages.

Keep in mind that terminal patients can be quite delusional about their condition as a way of coping.

[Go Coogs']

This thread makes me sad. I don't go back nearly as far as you guys to the ol' SC days, but the death of a troll is not something to take lightly. I'm 38 and have only lost one friend at a young age (my sister). It was more difficult than my old man having the big one. I'm sure a lot of you are a little somber at the moment realizing how many trolls have joined that great gig in the sky.

I looked back through my IMs. Four years ago, Van was dealing with stage 4 cancer AND trying to take care of his mom. He was doing radiation then.

The problem with this cancer is it's a death sentence if it returns, and it supposedly returns within a year or so about 50% of the time. The reason it's a death sentence the second time around is radiation is no longer a treatment option, and radiation is the primary treatment option. Chemo alone won't nearly get it done, and surgeries simply become a whack-a-mole situation whereby they cut it out wherever it pops up next, but they're never getting it at the pathological level. Because it's in the lymph system it'll just keep spreading until finally it reaches the brain and/or lungs, and that's that.

Assuming they can kill it this time, I just have to hope it doesn't came back.

My guess would be that it came back. Too bad. Van was good people.

I'm sure a lot of you are a little somber at the moment realizing how many trolls have joined that great gig in the sky.

We're mostly somber about it being the wrong ones.

Hedges counts.

[Y2K]

SPD is alive and well, saw him post on another board a week or two back.

[Goober McTuber]

Hedges counts.

Indeed. As does Turd Ferguson.

No he doesn't. And if Hedges is Python's dog, he doesn't count either.

He might have been your comrade/best buddy/lover, but he never posted on any of the boards.

[DC Smackmaster]

No, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing Hedges post, had his own profile pic and all.

[Smackie Chan]

No, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing Hedges post, had his own profile pic and all.

A DC sighting is always a welcome occurrence. Hope you're doing well and post more before others among us join Hedges, Shrubber, etc.

[Python]

Hedges pawed at the keyboard and typed a garbled mess of stuff. He posted under the nic of bbq jones.

And his pic has been posted here more than any other poster, so shut up. He counts.

Sup DC?

[orcinus]

He posted under the nic of bbq jones.

Beautiful ... GB Hedges.

[Bucmonkey]

What up Orc ?

[Felix]

Good to see all the old nics in here.

no doubt......DC where you been so long?
orc, long time no talk to ya farggin icehole....

That's just how it works both IRL and on this board: The old timers only come round when someone dies.

Oh yea. Everyone has those family members that you only see at funerals. Usually they are the people you only saw at the cookouts. It's like when you get older funeral replace the cookouts.

I'm 99.99999% certain Van passed away. We had been communicating fairly often and he went downhill (cancer), then stopped emailing a good while back.

I would trade pm's with Van occasionally...last trade was Oct. 2014....

[Bucmonkey]

God damn Sam...

[missjo]

I'm Friends with him on FB, it was his Birthday yesterday, he's fine

Funerals and weddings. We've gone from funerals (our generation's parents) to weddings (our kids) and now ramping up on funerals again (siblings and cousins).

[Smackie Chan]

Have we ever had a poster kill someone?

I've come close. Played some Dread Zeppelin in TuneTown that caused Wags to code. It was touch & go for a while.

[Python]

Serial killer? You mean like Son of Sam?

[smackaholic]

If I ever hit powerball and have money to cause mischief, I think I will hire some goons to kidnap Wags, strap him in a chair and force him to listen to DZ, jazz and maybe a little Prince for about 48 hours strait.

Nah, do some aversion therapy a la Clockwork Orange. Forty Eight hours of ultra violent video set to a classic rock soundtrack should do the trick.
