IF this is true- and that's a very big if considering the type of people on that website- I would like to apoplogize for those photoshops I did a couple months back.

Damn, I sure hope he knows, knew Jesus. I wonder if the cause is the fact that they (Doctors) waited so long between diagnosis and action?

What sucks is that as far as the Doctors are concerned, the surgery was a success.

Prayers for Andy and his family and his friends.

I don't think now is a time for ghoulish conspiracies. Damn, I though they got it all, I wonder what he died from?

[Hoodlum91]

OK, I lurked at DU and found www.andythanksyou.com Sounds like he had a stroke and a major infection.

You know, this kind of thing really p*sses me off. You have major surgery and they kick you out of the hospital as soon as possible.

We need to start pushing a story about how Andy Stephenson faked his own death for insurance reasons.

When I read this earlier today, I did not know what to think. I went to the newspapers in WA and could not find anything on it. I found lots of articles about him on the web but nothing about his death.

[MamaB]

Did you go to the link with the photos of Andy?

[Rodney King]

There's $50,000 involved here

How do you know its only 50K? That's the whole point. It could be $1 million as far as anyone knows.

[Rodney King]

You may be "of the opinion" that this is a ruse, but your opinion is ill-informed and is clearly the result of partisan bias. You're not supposed to assume people guilty of heinous crimes without a very strong collection of evidence, and you don't have it.

So every time you get an email from a Nigerian guy you assume that it is true until you prove it isn't? Look, FR is not who raised the issue of the scamming. DU did, and they have every right to. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, usually its a duck. Maybe in this case it was not, but Andy's friends have nobody to blame but themselves for acting like crooks if they were not.

Here's a lesson you should learn: Looking at that message board turns one into a senile lunatic.

[Ditter]

If Andy is indeed dead, may God Bless His Soul. May I offer a fitting epitaph? "See I told you I was sick".

That is what I suggested for my mother-in-laws tombstone. The rest of the family didn't agree.

[Dashing Dasher]

LOL!!!

See, I told you I was sick!!!



Too bad we know this is just more cr*pola.

57. I'm so sorry to hear that I never had a chance to cyber-meet him, having joined after he left for his surgery but I know he was well loved here. I know he will be missed.


She just joined and has over 1000 posts? That's one busy FundieSlayer.

I wonder if there will be photographic evidence of a funeral.
Open casket? Will the DUmmies be invited?
Will he need to raise another cash plea to get buried?

Some of you bleeding hearts can lament the skepticsm, But the way the Scamdy affair was run, it raised everyone's eyebrows.

You're right. I've got her beat, but it's taken me a few years.

[StrangerInParadise]

I'll bite. Who is/was Andy Stephenson? And why should I care?

Seriesly.

[Dashing Dasher]

I always got tombstoned before then....

[trisham]

Yikes. No, not there, here. Whew!

DU is aptly referred to as the "DUmpster".

[Dashing Dasher]

I went there a few times to stir up trouble.

It was horrible - I was so frustrated - made me nuts.

Those people do not live in the real world.

[Always Right]

I think they are certain Andy is gone. RIP.
