3/13/08: Martin passed away This afternoon in Marin County, CA after a short battle with cancer. Our legendary Meester was surrounded by his family and loved ones and left in peace.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Shame the mods fixed the title, this one had potential.

[martin_fierro]

Glad to see you got better. What did you do, touch the hem of Obama’s garment?

Now I'm one of those...

[Slings and Arrows]

Martin, you’re pretty fly for a dead guy.

[EternalVigilance]

The upside is that you’re still alive.

The downside is that you’re still unqualified to vote in Chicago...

[fanfan]

LOL!

At least you were able to see what some would post when you do kick the bucket.

There is no internet in heaven, I hear.

[OSHA]

Quit posting and get on the cart!

[martin_fierro]

There is no internet in heaven, I hear.

And there's nothing but DU in Hell.

< |:)~

[aculeus]

Darn! I was about to arrange for the Ukranian Army females to march in your memorial parade.

Not really, but I love this photo.

[bvw]

You are the Lazarus Long of FR.

[2111USMC]

No kidding.

Figures he’d be late for his own funeral.

[fanfan]

LOL.

And FR here on earth.

[martin_fierro]

Everyone knows our martin plays the spoons not the sax.

Please. This is my Instrument of Choice.

[Quix]

lol.

It’s been a long time since I’ve even seen a pic of one of those.

[Lazamataz]

Why couldn’t it have been you that died?

[martin_fierro]

Dear Mrs., Mr., Miss, or Mr. And Mrs. Daneeka: Words cannot express the deep personal grief I experienced when your husband, son, father, or brother was killed, wounded, or reported missing in action.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

(A moment's silence and thoughts of Psalm 23 to the actual bereaved family--who is not here at FR)

To the prematurely belated Martin:

It doesn't matter who you're named after, Opus By Proxy is not permitted at FR. I will give you credit for being an early adopter in the area of virtual morbidity.

Nevertheless, and the tight economy notwithstanding, Bogarting another's obituary notice is not considered an honorable way to save a few dollars.

Besides, riding on coattails is a Hillary trademark.

You're better than that.

Fer shame. Fer shame.

Now make like the BeeGees and be stayin' alive, stayin' alive. God Bless you, Sir!

[BraveMan]

Our condolences for your loss. I enjoy his work. His presence will be missed by many.

That other guy, not so much . . .

Marty wanted an "upbeat" funeral. Even his widow went with a cheery look:

[martin_fierro]

“The Merry Widow” INDEED.

[Charles Henrickson]

"Good riddance, Martin Fierro," it reads. (Marty never got along too well with the horseshoers.)

[Charles Henrickson]

Marty's widow, Geraldine Fierro:

[LilAngel]

My condolences on your death. I’m happy you had a speedy recovery.

[Mr. Silverback]

I’d die too if it was my duty to “hit that” on a regular basis.

[Charles Henrickson]

Little-known fact: Marty was a licensed veterinarian.

[Mr. Silverback]

Little-known fact: Marty was a licensed veterinarian.

[Silverback has pre-censored his joke about Geraldine Ferraro in order to save the mods the work.]

[martin_fierro]

and Charles is a talented Chemist!

[Brett66]

ROFL!

[mikrofon]

Hey, I was all set to host the benefit:

[Charles Henrickson]

Charles is a talented Chemist!

Marty donated his body to science. He'll make a nice perfume!

[mikrofon]

Well, we're all relieved it wasn't our Marteen who rode off into the sunset...

[tiredoflaundry]

Wow,
we got ourselves a Gen U wine UNDEAD THREAD!!!!!!!!!

[dighton]

Beejay, he’s back! Finnegans wake to a shower of Lucky Charms.

[BJClinton]

Get yer boomsticks! It’s a zombie posting!

[Billthedrill]

Will you make up your mind already? I had my shelves cleared off for your stereo.

Dang it.

[secret garden]

You’re not fooling anyone y’know.

[pa_dweller]

Quit posting and get on the cart!

LOL!

FR, best underappreciated humor website.

[Publius6961]

LOL!

You are B-A-A-A-D!

[Publius6961]

I see he was posting just after midnight. Whew!

I have a really old OUIJA board.

Where did you buy yours?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Ressurected!

I guess this makes it a undead² thread.

[Constitution Day]

I guess this makes it a undead² thread.

How about an undead³ thread?

[Tijeras_Slim]

It will return billyuns and billyuns of times.

[Lee'sGhost]

What’s a Meester?

[LouAvul]

What’s a Meester?

Are you serious? It's "Mister" in mexican.

[Lee'sGhost]

Well context would be everything, wouldn’t it?

People seldom use “mister” in a sentence construct the way you did and I had no idea Fierro was Mexican. So you throw in one Spanish word in a sentence about someone whom I have no idea of his nationality and I am supposed to clairvoyantly ascertain that it is Spanish. Apparently he’s not as legendary as you thought.

[Constitution Day]

What’s a Meester?

Leighton Meester

[Lee'sGhost]

See... I knew I wasn’t asking a stupid question.

You are a good man, CD.

[Constitution Day]

I try!
