RIP Threads Forum

[Shepdogg]

Is it possible to get a sub forum for death notices? It seems like a morbid race to post as soon as the human heart stops beating, sometimes with multiple posters posting the notice at the same time. With 8 billion people on this earth, eventually the board will become one big obituary.

Never heard of him (her?). Who were they?

 

[LionJim]

The reason I push #subjectlinesmatter is so that people can skip threads they aren’t interested in.

With a generic RIP thread, we’d have no idea who died. I would think that a standalone thread on the passing of, say, John Wayne would garner a whole lot more views and responses than one mentioning the death of Bill Thurston.

 

[LionJim]

And, David Bowie and Alan Rickman passed on the same day. With one generic RIP thread, chaos would have ensued.

Yeah, I was wondering where to comment on the recent passing of the Iowa wrestling program.

 

[NittPicker]

I don't recognize the names of most of the people who get the RIP treatment. So I just keep scrolling and thinking, "There's someone else I never heard of who kicked the bucket".

IIRC, Threads Forum was a football letterman in 1912. Word had it he was the best dressed guy on the team.

Thanks, buddy. Love this.

Typically my thought is, “Wow, I didn’t realize they were still alive until now!”

He came out of the coal regions of Western Pa. Played End, tackle and also kicked. He was integral to the 1912 team that only gave up 6 points enroute to an undefeated 8-0 season. Coach Hollenback credited Threads Forum with being the anchor to that great defense.

They don't make'em like Threads Forum anymore.

And somehow his uniform was never dirty, not a speck of dirt on it ever. Incredible.

God lord what games fate plays. Generational talents each of them.

Aldous Huxley died 11/22/1963.

 

[nittanymoops]

Oh, that Threads Forum! Yeah, IIRC he got caught up in the Zoot Suit Riots, no?

Yes, the Forum was named after him. Every time I walked into the Forum my dick would bust concrete with pride. (A quote from “The Wire.”)

Yeah, but they had Astroturf back then.

The only thing on this forum worse than death notices are the pitiful attempts at humor, visible in this thread of course.

Absolutely agree.

He was caught doing the Lindy......with the daughter of the Dean.....

Well, it's not the only thing....it's just one of the things.....

This thread needs to die.

This thread needs to die.

But… then we may get an “RIP RIP Threads Forum Thread” Thread.

Bit of a conundrum there!

What about Thurston Howell the Third?

Of course, he was lost at sea…… not sure they ever pronounced him dead?

RIP Squared.

That's a good one!!!

 

[Shepdogg]

Heath Ledger died.

 

[Nittany1997]

Shepdogg, I like you, and you have some very funny posts, but you are dead wrong on this.

RIP Shepdogg!!!

Neil Sedaka died.

 

[leinbacker]

It's like, if only a football message board like this one could actually be in thread view format.

Timothy Leary’s Dead.
No, no, no he’s on the outside looking in

 

[G3624]

Thought he was on the inside looking out.

Aldous Huxley died 11/22/1963.

C.S. Lewis also died 11/22/1963.

Yes, thank you. I knew I was missing something.

Who gets his chopper?

 

[Shepdogg]

Please keep the death notices coming. I was wrong, I hope to see more soon.
