A Hardcore Husky O.G. sells the couch

[whlinder]

I have taken several walks on the beach since that time and have come to feel shame about my prior behavior.
I still have a little shit talk in me but I work hard every day to suppress that guy.
It is amusing to see the next gen come in hot and talk shit. Reminds me of my salad days. They, too, will walk the beach one day and see the folly in angry and hurtful exchanges over tedium.
The one exception to my new-found maturity is Roadie's retarded take on Sean Taylor. That I do not forgive. Though I am glad to see him back here.
@RoadDawg55 @whlinder

I am very glad Roadie is back but I also hope he takes a walk on the beach to find the same perspective about Sean Taylor.

Terrible news

@RoadDawg55 @whlinder

I also remember you flying off the handle at criticism of Jeremy Shockey

Don't want to derail the thread too much on this.
I don't recall my response as "flying off the handle" but admit that I haven't gone back to re-read the whole thing. I will nonetheless leave you to your own opinions about it.

When I wrote that it was with a proverbial twinkle in my eye. I thought you'd pick up on the playfulness of the quip. But in retrospect it was probably a poor choice of words as it implied that you melted down in anger. So no, I just remember you pushing back on the notion of Shockey being mediocre.
I also wrote that while losing sight of the fact that it was in the obit thread, which was also not what I would normally do.

^ I'm just glad Roadie is back and in one piece, especially in light of what has happened with our? fellow Husky @pawz.
A few days later and I'm still pretty bummed about the news. It really sucks. 47. Such bullshit.
It would be great, if not a little sad, to have Dwag go on an epic run and win a natty for him. If there be another place where we maintain any kind of awareness of terrestrial goings on, I am sure he'd be thrilled.

Just glad we got that swarthy, Iberian temper under control. It was unseemly.

Like we say in recovery, one day at a time.

Same. His last text to me was basically, "If I feel well enough from chemo let's smoke weed and talk shit somewhere," on Sep 5th.

I'm always down for this. Who's setting up the 1st annual PAWZ poker tournament? I'm in and will hereby dox myself. Somebody PLEASE invite Hhusky!

HHusky is ready (pawz always chinned this photo). RIP.

Disagree.

 

[LesGrossman]

Horrible news. RIP

 

[Swaye]

This is sad news to me. Messaged with Pawz privately many times over the years. Reasonable, fair minded, and a true fan. 47 is beyond sad. Should have had 40 more to go. Fair winds and following seas Andrew…

Disagree. I don't like having to bully @creepycoug . Civilized discourse is better.

 

[Fire_Marshall_Bill]

He was definitely in my top ten of posters, probably top five. I don't want to be insensitive, hijacky, and Tuggy, but once Covid hit, we had a lot of common ground as to how it was (totally mis)handled.

 

[Doog_de_Jour]

Like many of you, I met Andrew several tims in person. Unlike the rest of you troglodytes, he was a gentleman.* He was one of the first people to send me a house warming gift when I moved out of state. Strangely enough we were actually neighbors for awhile in Bellevue. Small world.
And as many of you have all ready said, fuck cancer with a rusty cheese grater. It’s taken too many good people from us.

*Which for HCH is giving my ass an appreciative slap instead of a full on grab.

He's back.

I will be moving this thread to Classics on Sunday.

Damn.

I've known @pawz (in the internet sense) for over 20 years. Started interacting him with (as @DawgPaws, IIRC) on Unleashed back before the 2004 election. I was maybe a half step to the left of him but we aligned on far more than we disagreed with. Those old W era Unleashed wars with darthrepublican and NYCDawg make the Tug look tame.

This was his Unleashed sig for years and what I always think of when I think of Pawz.

Way too young.

Fly high my guy.
