fuck, this can't be real

I've lost all desire to post in a jocular fashion since the word of Richard's passing. Just doesn't feel the same.

I'm having trouble comprehending how much this has upset me

ditto, this has really wigged me out for the last few days.
I lost a lot of people in my life and none have been easy of course ... maybe it was the constant almost daily contact with Lizard ... I don't know

youre right I think, i related to a lot of Lizards posts / threads, he always came up with great political stories along with the funnies
i hang about here reading a lot more than I post, I've found that I have something in common with most of the regulars, like yourself Lurch, even some of the more right wing fellows around here make interesting contributions
... and the banter is generally good natured even when it gets a bit shirty

i wasn't shocked that he was 48
I always knew he was a good bit older than me + I'm fucking 37 now

lizard's entire posting career here was a highlight.

I'm gonna miss that guy. A lot.

I'm not going to read this whole thread just yet (especially at work, I can feel some tears welling up already), but this is likely the best post because it is entirely true. lizard was one of the funniest motherfuckers I have ever had the great fortune to get to know in my life.

This sucks.

i'm just sorry i haven't been around much at all lately; hadn't gotten to correspond with him for a very long time. in fact the last time was the day that he made the jack in the box remark

but nevertheless, he'd been one of my very best chums here on UM for several years; just a constant force and it just doesn't seem possible that he's gone. i mean, he's freaking LIZARD! it might sound retarded but i always felt he was one of the most appreciative of everything i had to say.

might as well have lost my uncle. crying at the library sucks.

we should have a big lizard bash at heathen crusade, i say. or somewhere, sometime...

Absolutely horrible. Even as a fringe member of the community, it is tremendously (and eriely) sad to have such a consistent and universally liked person just vanish. I feel just awful for his family.
