Guys I have some bad news to bring

skywalker has just died two hours ago

The reports say he collapsed from "extreme sexual exhaustion." Investigators have found thousands of issues of Playboy and Hustler in his second library at his summer cottage.

Please lock his account immediately so that noone may hack it and prank us in our mourning time

Hmm ...

On one hand, it pleases me to see that Faded Glory is apparently still among the living. On the other hand, it also saddens me to see that his "death" was apparently someone's idea of a practical joke or done when one was high as a kite.

I posted multiple times in the thread where Ming announced FG's passing to 'Poly. One of my posts from that time remains relevent. Want to know what it is?

A drunk driver killed a mother, her four children and her brother in my area. THEY WON'T BE COMING BACK. EVER.

So it's not a joke, people, when others fake their deaths. It lessens the impact of the real deal.

Just my two cents.

I can't believe you guys actually believe he's on coke.

yes I'm back. I only came back because of this.

It amazes me people will fall for for the same sympathy getting lies twice.(note: my sympathy getting thread wasn't a lie. I told you all I would return when I'm bored)

So... a hundred years from now, we'll all be in the Poly hall of fame, one way or the other.

I wonder how many of us will actually die while typing a reply to some thread here. Or even more intriguing, what percentage will at least have a Poly browser window open when they snuff it.

A couple of people will probably have their rank/status and post count engraved on their epitaphs as well.

No, what we find "funny" is very much a gut instinct without forethought. And it changes from moment to moment. I can find things hilarious one moment, but not the next.

And JohnT certainly feels such sympathy, as he showed in the thread about the little girl who is dying from being very obese.

And STFU!

Hmm. I guess what I was trying to say is that when someone fakes his/her death, it makes it harder for me to believe when others *really* do die. It's like, "Oh, so Kuci was hit by a speeding freight train, huh?" and I'm like, "Yeah, right. Whatever. Show me his mangled corpse. After what FG did, that's what I need to believe, to *really* believe!"

How dare you show any hint of being offended!! You're going to be sent to Boris's prison of correctness if you don't revoke your satement of being offended.

Actually, nobody jumped down his throat at all. As usual, he tends to think everything has to be about him.

There certainly is a reason why we have "gut instincts." At any rate that's a better answer than "It's funny," and I don't know why you are speaking for JohnT.

And someone tell me what STFU means damn it.
