I suspected he might pull a prank like that, and I remember there never was any confirmation that he had really died.

Either his brother, or faded glory himself played this most stupid of all pranks on us.

If it was his brother and he did it without faded glory's knowledge . . . . .

welcome back, faded glory.

If "leaving forever" is "gone on vacation"

then "gone to rehab" might as well be "I died"

Nobody here knows/knew fg that well. Nobody had met with him in person. So the "grief" wasn't really horrendous. I doubt anyone lost sleep over it. It was more "that's sad," and then moving on.

I think it's telling that the people here expressing outrage tend to be the ones who had the least interaction with fg. Such self-righteous indignation over someone they barely knew and certainly didn't care much about.

But someone like Jon Miller, who had a lot more interaction with him, isn't all enraged. Very interesting.

Actually, having never met him in person, and knowing him from the forums only, I felt somewhat bad for this, not only because of his "death" but also becaue of the suddenty of death in general. I remember pondering it for quite some time.

Instant legend. I've already got the "Sad News!" thread archived, when I get home I'll archive these two (after they die, of course.) This is possibly the most bizarre thing to happen to these forums since EVC and EC went nuclear on each other.

Yeah, so he pretended (or somebody pretended) that fg was dead. I know a guy who faked his death for 18 months just to get out of the Army. :When his mom found out, she was so pissed she turned him in! lol:

I think you people who are all morally outraged over this are the same sort of people who stay awake at night thinking about the tragic story of Aruba girl.

Just enjoy Ted's priceless reaction and welcome FG back into the fold.

JohnT, do you have any other great classic threads saved?
