Here's someone I remember...
'Twas back in the old chat...back in 2003, not long after I joined, and during a time when I was out of permanent work. I'd be in the chat every day, in the daytime. There was this hilarious maniac in there, who had two successive screen names. He was first known as Milrun, and then came in again as Bippy because of some log in problems. He drove everyone in the chat crazy with this affinity of his for toilet humor...which he was forced to put a stop to. Thank God. However, we got to talking, on AOL, and it turned out that he was a very, very funny guy with tremendous problems in his life. We'd talk every day, and our faces would hurt from the laughter. We'd go back and forth with stuff, and man, it was entertaining. Eventually, though, he decided to go off his meds. I remember him telling me that he was tired of being a walking case study for Upjohn, or Pfizer. So, out went the meds, in came the booze, out went his wife and kids, and in came the misery. He disappeared. He made one visit to the chat, for ten minutes, a couple of years back, but I haven't heard from him. It's a shame. He made me laugh...out loud, with tears streaming down my face. Make me laugh. Make me think.
My friend, if you're around, if you're lurking, I want you to know I never stopped thinkin' about ya.
hehe
