A very deserved way to die

can i just tell you guys that i still haven't turned the sigs off, and this shit is really getting me down?

 

[minxnim]

i really suspect there might be more than one person behind the_preppy account, now.

 

[minxnim]

there were two people behind the_preppy account on BCO, i will admit. but my better half moved to SF and now there is only one

 

[goatschool]

ha, i didn't even know that

 

[minxnim]

yea it was austin first then me, then us both, then just me. that's why it was so funny when i'd post all those awful true stories about him.

And this is a great secret.

 

[goatschool]

i'm frantically trying to remember the threads/posts i interacted with the_preppy on

 

[minxnim]

see, maybe you don't remember. my friends (t-rope... bmc) 'invaded' PFC amh style. and then they invited me. but i was like 'nahhh' and so austin did. and then we borrowed one of t-rope's accounts, and then after that tar gave me an old account of his (he remembered me from amh and wanted me to post) and that's how it started. by the time it was bco, austin was reading it but not posting anymore.

weirdness.

I missed out on that PFC garbage, but I knew a lot of the old-skoolers from IRC. and I always avoided AMH b/c that was never my scene.

 

[minxnim]

amh wasn't necessarily like 'my scene' but i guess all my at-the-time-then-alive friends were posting there (sad to say)

Istanbul (CNN) -- It's been more than a century since Istanbul's residents were kept awake at night by the howling of tens of thousands of stray dogs.
The dogs were rounded up and shipped to a deserted island in the Marmara Sea where they starved to death -- all part of a government-led effort to modernize Istanbul.
But the stories surrounding the so-called "Great Dog Massacre of 1910" are still fresh in the minds of Turkey's animal rights activists. Today, these activists are staging massive protests against a proposal to create "natural habitat parks" for stray cats and dogs in Turkey's urban areas.
These parks, they say, would really be concentration camps for stray animals.

It's been almost 10 years since the original post.

You guys must have been clairvoyant.

Holy shit, that last sentence totally escaped me. Either it's really poorly worded, or animal abuse is punished by years of torture.
