From the woman who brought us Ron - and then went away.
Who was she again?
The charges have been dropped.
When (insert real name) passed away, the world at large was shocked to find that he also, under a pseudonym, modestly and unassumedly contributed for years to a prestigious message board known as the Straight Dope Message Board. Besides his wife and children, no one, not even amongst his closest associates, was aware that Arnold Winkelried was, in real life, (insert real name). The blogosphere is agog with this news, and the website associated with the message has been closed due to the tremendous traffic of people eager to sift through his postings for clues and unknown details about his life.
In the “In Memoriam” thread at the message board, many people are expressing shock and surprise that the person they had known for all these years was actually (insert real name). “I had no clue” and “He was such a quiet, gentle person” are the sentiments most commonly voiced by his fellow posters…
Inside the mausoleum in which (insert real name)'s body will be interred (after the completion of the prescribed period of public mourning), the statue erected to commemorate (insert real name) will include, at his request, the following quote on the pedestal:
“(insert real name) (insert long list of titles) and also Proud Doper”.

Mine can just say “Wile E, not a dude.”
[sub]and “she shouldn’t have messed with twickster”[/sub]

Post to Portrait Gallery thread, watch your gender misidentification issues disappear!
I hope in the future there is a way to put spoiler alerts on gravestones. If so, I want it to look like this:
Anamorphic dies in the end.
bup - no big loss. It’s not like we lost Malacandra or something
Don’t care what it says, as long as it says it in the Pit.
“Surprisingly, he didn’t die of kidney failure.”
Or
“Not surprisingly, he died of kidney failure. We all should have seen it coming.”
“heme passed sey umop ap!sdn”
No? too obvious? Okay then how about “kept punching the clock until the clock finally won. At least she went doing what she loved best - writing program code.”
“He did the best he could with what he had, bless his heart.”
It’s what people say about me now, so it’s seems appropriate.
“He brought Bacon Salt to the Dope. Good riddance.”
She loved her dogs and tried her best to help others, even if she did work as a telmarketer.
“Was driven mad by the foul, unnatural flavour of Marmite. At last, he has found peace.”
One of the hockey guys.
“Died while walking down the street, singing.”
It’s a mask, I didn’t take his head off. Thanks for the hot chick comment though. An online friend made that avatar for me based on my senior High school picture and me telling him I actually looked like Michelle Pfeiffer. Needless to say my avatar is much hotter than I.
“Still accepts chocolate.”
