So, Otto.

Your reports. Not your doctor’s.

Waverly, no, for better or for worse, the story is all mine.

Thanks, Tengu I finally caught the reference.

I have to admit that I felt rather smug the rest of the day.

Wa… I mean Liberal… If you are planning to bugger off, just go. There is no need to shock and depress people by making them think you are taking a dirt nap. Unless of course the whole purpose is to shock and depress.

If you share grossly inappropriate personal material and estimates of your impending death, you cannot be legitimately surprised when people talk about that material and your impending death.

Doesn’t bother me if you talk. But it should bother the person who is talking from a foundation of utter ignorance. If you say someone has exaggerated something when you don’t know shit from shinola, you’re spreading the very thing this board is supposed to fight. Their bombasticisms are mysterious in every way: why they give a damn at all, why they think they know something about me, and why they’re bothered by something that doesn’t bother me in the least. The universe isn’t even real. Anyone who knows me knows I believe that. Anyone who doesn’t is trolling and talking out his ass.

I think I saw them over there:

They are not very precise, only the prognosis in the last few sentences is clear.

I think the process is known as Shock and Awww.

Otto took them. Just as a joke, mind you.

Well, that takes care of a lot of things. Can I quote you in my next income tax declaration?

I get it!

{{{Liberalitarian}}} Huggles from Uncle Waverly!!!

I’m at peace now. And the universe isn’t even real. I can get behind that, because I already believe you all are figments of my imagination.

Actually, I thought they werehere.

Damnit. Why aren’t we pitting lobstermobster anymore? Or weren’t we in the first place? Who were we pitting? Who can I pile-on? Who’s dying and who stole what money?

Shit, I can’t keep track of this thread without a spreadsheet.

:slight_smile: The latest pittings have become rambling kudzu clusterflops that just splatter on everybody.

The irony of being late to a thread you OP’d about someone who never returned to their thread?

Priceless. :smiley:

but, but, I planned it that way, as a joke. Whoosh!

If you haven’t seen my medical records or talked to my doctor or asked me, then anything and everything you say about my health is from sheer ignorance. Since the board is failing miserably to fight ignorance, maybe it should try to fight meanness. I’m sorry that my hanging on a bit longer than early estimates leaves you so disappointed. But I’m delighted that gloating over it can give you such joy.

So we shouldn’t take anything you say seriously?

Wait a sec… Is Lib on the cross now, or is still Otto? Are we still gonna crucify slobser or just dip her in hot butter?

I always get so confused when Lib enters a perfectly good pitting. He’s like entropy for threads.

Lib, I am sorry you are in poor health and hope for a complete recovery. If you had started a thread in another forum lamenting your health problems you would have found nothing but well wishers. It is the fact that you casually dropped hints of your impending demise in the middle of an argument that had turned against you for some cheap appeal for sympathy that annoyed most people. That coupled with your refusal to explain your comment is what earned you so much scorn.

The “universe is not real” tripe is rediculous. I guess you have an extremely weird concept of “real”. If you stand on a train track in front of a fast train chanting “The universe is not real” you will eventually find out it is real enough.

It’s offical. I’m dying. I talked to the doctor the other day and she said that there is nothing she can do. Apparently, unless I get something else which is also fatal, I will die of old age.

So don’t pick on me, meanies.
