I've met JaimeL and he's totally a jerk. One of the nicest jerks I've ever run across. 

IIRC JaimeL is somewhere in the range of 3-5 years older than me and I don't know why this sticks out in my mind, but I remember reading a JaimeL post in which he shared the personal detail that he was 27 (at the time) and thinking something like, 'wow 27, he's like a real adult who has his shit together.' 

I'm gonna be 33 in a couple of weeks.  That 27 yr old JaimeL was once my board touchstone for responsible adult, and that I'm now 6 years past that 27 milestone myself, is a funny testament to how long I've been poking around here.  Probably 12ish years now.  And many of y'all even longer.

I don't know why this made me laugh so much. Miss you, Johnny Boy! Glad to hear you're well.

Lol I've been here since I was 18...:o  

Now I'm 23...whaaaat.  

 

Suffer the little children. 

JamieL being an awesome jerk in real life has to be the least surprising revelation of all time. How does Many express himself in person, I wonder, absent the ability to meme everything? Does he do a series of phantomimes while making short guttural noises aimed at passing Dodgers fans? Do any of you smell like freshly baked bread? 

Also, Theda, don't get mad but in my mind's eye you look like Rutger Hauer.

I think I'll feel like a child here until I'm 40 lmao

I find crude gesticulation to be quite effective when dealing with Dodger fans,

Music can also be an effective means of non-verbal communication...

I'm a pretty responsible adult but I don't feel like I quite act like an adult. And I'm not really attracted to the attitudes of most people my age.  They tend to be so BORING and negative.  Blech :P  Stay young Theda, :) age really is just a number.

Lol if I could stay 23 for a few years I would

Mercenary Chef is ok, I suppose. 

This has to be the most ignorant post I've ever seen on this board. I suggest you take some time to really get to know MC.

Also to get a bit more serious for a moment, and to answer the original question of this thread, last night I learned that Bonesy has passed away. I'd never had the chance to meet John in real life, but still I cried when I found out. He was my friend, and I felt closer to him than many of the people I know from the "real" world. He was the type of friend that you could get into intensely heated arguments with, but at the end of the day know that you were still friends. So yeah, real and valuable friendships form on this board.

It's really hard to believe he's not still out there.
