First of all, much to the dismay of many, I did not die tonight.
Secondly, I've seen these funeral threads before where people mourn the FReeper and talk about what they meant to them (and more than a few FReepers who celebrate the death).
But what's the point of that? Does the dead FReeper know anything, or see any of the kind or crass remarks about them?
No. Pointless. We should have these sort of threads BEFORE they die.
So that's why I'm doing my obituary thread tonight. Plus, there is the added advantage of me knowing the exact date (7/22/2023) and and time (10:34PM) of my death!
Arrangements may be sent to: Egotistical Clown Funeral Home, 2312 Dumb Vanity Road, Atlanta, GA. 30321
Donations on his behalf may be sent to the Gun Owners of America.
There’s no such thing as an unflattering comment about me.
True, and that will be THE BEST GAG OF THEM ALL!
Ok how did you change the font.
Skill.
Well played.
I don’t know. I’ll be tough to buy any diet pills off you if you’re dead.
So when you’re no longer pinin for the fjords and passed on, when you are no more, ceased to be, expired and gone to meet your maker
when you’re a stiff! Bereft of life, and rest in peace! and pushing up the daisies!
You’re metabolic processes are now ‘istory! and you’re off the twig!
When you’ve kicked the bucket, and shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!!
WHEN YOU ARE FINALLY AN EX-LAZ!!
Do we come back to this legendary thread or do we have to create another set of encomiums?
Agree to the power of strong coffee but with LAZ demise,may all hit a shot of bourbon in it!
LOL! ;)
Best regards!
This is shocking that you’ve left us, Laz. Too young. I began lurking here over 20 years ago when I took notice of Laz’s brilliant writing talent and sense of humor. I’ll always remember you as one of the titans of FR. No one can compare. Way back then he reminded me of a fraternity boy with his antics, but over the years we watched him mature. Well, kind of, Lol. Most importantly it seemed to me that over the years you made right with the Lord. I hope this is true so we can enjoy his wit and brilliance for eternity. Maybe this is the effect of losing so many freepers over the years and you realized the fleeting nature of life in this world. FR will never be the same without Laz. I hope you’ve left an AI version of yourself to keep posting in your name.
Joke. Do I have your email?
I think so. I’ll resend by FReepmail though.
I might need your collaboration on an editorial, you being a historian and all....
I just sent you something.
I guess from now one, I’m just gonna have to hit myself....
I didn’t read the post, per rules. I’m wondering if this could be fake news.
Laz is still the only man to successfully hit the crack of Dawn.
Repeatedly, like the fist of an angry God.
Not many of us, evidently.
Technically, I think he was originally from Rochester, NY.
I must say how amusing it is that this thread has garnered close to 300 comments, proving to me humor is important. Especially among the doddering old folks like me....
