Oh, damn. You didn't destroy "Make me smile" did you? That's the final frontier.

Announced on Stern, but no major media yet.
Spoiler:
FIRST!
That's a good RIP as I haven't been listening to Stern over the past few months and would have missed it.

RIP.

I don't mind your "I just go pizza" posts but was just referencing those to make a point.

RIP. Fridays two medium pizzas deal from Pizza Hut. ;)

I just don't feel like getting into specifics. Cherry picking the RIP thread for lame postings is a bit macabre, even though I have a few good ones in mind. I do enjoy PFiDC getting the vapors even though this thread has seen at least one Yoko Ono inspired tickle fight in the last month.

C'mon folks, bring out your dead. Who you got?

dodint wrote:Perhaps some are skeptical that the mourning by a particular person is actually more important than the desire to be "FIRST!" to the RIP thread. This isn't about you, just commentary on the tone of the thread.
Considering here and Facebook are the only places where I imagine most of us comment publicly on someone's passing, that isn't really that surprising that's the vibe.

If/when the inevitable day comes, do you think you'd come into this thread to bid adieu to Jo Ramírez? (That would probably get mentioned in the F1 thread, but I think you get the idea by the example)

If someone that doesn't post in the F1 thread beat me to, say, Schumacher, I'd be okay with it.

If Twobens croaks I'll just wait for you.

No you didn't.
