Ithaka is disembowelled in an unfortunate misunderstanding with a fondue fork and a gesture he didn’t realize was obscene…

**Iceland\_Blue** was collateral damage when the [elephants](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=277891&highlight=elephant) bought the farm…

**vunderbob, vunderbob** ,  
what will he do?  
don’t touch that shiny knob  
ooops! mind that goo.

turn off that power drill  
watch where you step  
parking brake upon a hill  
see your doc for strep

lives oh so carefully  
does our **vunderbob**  
too bad he couldn’t flee  
engulfment by [the Blob](http://www.imagesjournal.com/issue09/reviews/blob/)

Actually, **EddyTeddyFreddy** died sometime last year. However, she continues to haunt her computer, and since she doesn’t need to eat or sleep any more (as a ghost), this explains why her posting has actually _increased_ since her death. 😃

**Ponder Stibbons** is chased by a herd of wild rhinos into a street, run over by a bulldozer, hit with a heat-seeking missile, swept away by a flash flood, attacked by bloodthirsty piranhas, exposed to toxic waste when he falls into a sewer, bitten by rats, clonked on the head from a stray hammer dropped by a construction crew, hauled out and laid on a gurney to go to the hospital… and then gets electrocuted by a live wire, falls off the gurney, gets hit by _another_ truck, mobbed by a group of parade goers, and finally savagely attacked by a group of evil clowns from the parade.

( **Ponder** , I love ya, really and honest!)

**Kythereia** is beaten to death with wet noodles by enraged Dopers who wanted to use her death methods.

Nobody really believed **Iceland\_Blue** would slip through the bars and be eaten alive by Polar Bears, but they were wrong, so very wrong.

RIP Mangetout. He believed the advertisement that promised he could increase the size of his member. Even when the equipment arrived he still believed the instructions. Had he but been awake, he would have realized that rapidly inflating it to an enormous size could only have had dire consequences. Those pieces of him that have been found will be buried tomorrow.

**Iceland\_Blue** made the mistake of responding to an e-mail from Dr. Nmbua Sambe, who had access to a bank account holding $38 million. His plane flight will land in Nigeria in about…oh, 4 hours or so. The fact that he has a suitcase with $25000 cash to pay the fees is immaterial.

**Clothahump** will become deeply involved in an X-Prize Cup project involving a shitload of rubber bands. Alas, one will snap, taking out the entire development team including Clothy.

On a dare after drinking a pint of shandy, Ponder will eat 6 of Dibbler’s finest sausages in a bun _without mustard_.

Hmmm. Must remember to read the _entire_ thread before adding to it. :smack:

Okay, Amazon will pass on after starting to believe her own PR and thinking she really is a goddess. Those gossamer costume wings really don’t guarantee any wind stability.

**photopat** will smack himself in the head so many times, he’ll give himself a concussion and wind up in the hospital, clinging to life in a coma. 😉

Simulpost!

**ETF** will be mobbed by so many of her adoring and devoted fans that she’ll be crushed to death under the wild stampede of people screaming for her autograph.
