Is John Mace dead?

@Helena330

Foggy had major depression and talked about suicide often. I fervently hope he found something that eased his depression and is enjoying life.

Oh no — I hope your fervent hope is correct.

@Northern_Piper

Yes, me too. And also LSL Guy, who’s been MIA for about a year.

I’ve sent a couple of PMs to Cunctator over the years.

Crickets.

No, I meant he fucks around a lot and has kids everywhere.

Yeah, I figured it was something like that. I even googled the quote to see where it came from. Now I know it’s from South Park. But your post made me think of the “King is dead” quote, so I posted it.

I see John Mace every day, on the face of every child, on the smile of every baby.

I see John Mace in every budding daffodil and in every fluttering butterfly.

John Mace’ll be all around in the dark - John Mace’ll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there’s a fight, so hungry people can eat, John Mace’lJohn MaceI’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready, and when the people are eatin’ the stuff they raise and livin’ in the houses they build - John Mace’ll be there, too.

Listen, when I say “hello Mr. Thompson” and stamp on your foot, you nod your head. Got it?

I think I’m more likely to shout…
“OOWWW!” :eek:
…than nod my head.
–G!

Bricker and Foggy are also MIA.

IIR…uh, sorry…If I remember correctly, Bricker mentioned that he was going to take a bit of a sabbatical from the board. This was, what, maybe six months or so ago? Kudos to him as well for not posting a foot-stamping “I’m gonna leave and you’ll all be sorry!” Pit thread.

Anybody heard anything of Trinopus? I always enjoyed his/her posts. Princhester, too, but he just popped up a few days ago to say “Oi’m not dead yet!”

[Ike_Witt]

What about KlondikeGeoff? As far as I can tell, he last posted about one year ago. Granted he was over 90 at the time.

Boyo Jim is another one. Joined in 2001, 36,997 posts but hasn’t posted since October of 2017.

What about Cunctator? Is he unemployed in Greenland? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5kdJl8h2-XM — friendless, brainless, helpless, hopeless… Wiki says that Cunctator died in 203 BC, Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus - Wikipedia.

They’re gone… all gone…

Were they, by any chance, highly successful industrialists? I hear that’s been happening all across the nation.

What can you do about it. Ah well, who is John Galt?

John Mace could be John Galt. Same number of letters in the surname, plus the second letter is A.

Oh—kay. What-ev.

Yall ever thought maybe they don’t like us or something?

That never stopped them before.

I’m afraid Becky2844 may have actually died. We were PMing and she said that she had minor surgery the next morning. She never replied after that. Her last activity was the next day, and nothing since then.

Wow! That was kinda freaky for me, for a minute.

So many people gone, and yet I’m still here.

I’ll let Richard Gere here explainwhy.
