There's more to the story. Admins said they would let him back if you would publicly apologize to another member.

TFP is a well-crafted character. An apology would not be consistent with this character...so the character as we know it would cease to exist if he ever apologizes in such a way.

Oh, I know he was awesome, but he's dead now. That soft, furry body that gave you so much love is now a ravaged carcass, rotting in someones yard. I'm sure that person is going through their own personal hell right now, trying to decide what to do with the body. It's not easy, I know, but it's something you just have to get over.

Take the next month off. Before coming back, you will be personally and publicly apologizing to the OP for your astoudingly cold-hearted ignorance.

Not sure what "EKT" means.

The cover of an album or something like that?!?

I'm at a loss for words.

Completely discombobulated.

The cover of an album or something.
*shakes head*


I know.

I threw up a little when I read that comment. D:

...both.

Limbaugh : Conservatives :: TFP : ATOT

ATOT is far too diverse a group to make that kind of analogy, and in terms of the usual stereotypes (making $250,000 straight out of Harvard, supermodel girlfriend, etc) he didn't really fit. TheFlyingPig was an entertainer.

His very first post:

You don't have to send it to me, because I already know it's inferior to mine. If you were to put our resumes side by side, it would be like looking at Israel and Palestine. One, a shining beacon of modern society and cultural evolution, the other, a stagnating garbage dump of ignorance and stupidity. Everyone knows this.

That wasn't his first post. His personality actually changed a fair bit early on, not consistent but searching for his niche through sheer determination and hard work until he found it and dominated it.

It's all a vast NEOCON conspiracy to make you FEAR AL QAEDA. Who defines them you ask? The NEOCON COMMANDERS who are also a part of this conspiracy of EVIL, thats who! They want you to believe that there are MILLIONS of AL QAEDA TERRORISTS in Iraq so they can justify staying there longer. Why do they want to stay longer? Because they are all PROFITING from this war! Don't you see?! The longer we stay, the more the NEOCONS profit! AL QAEDA is nothing more than a NEOCON fabrication!
