	Goddammit, I really hoped she would die first. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It probably makes me a horrible person, but I agree. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Good thing I don't mind being a horrible person! Anyway, he was the right kind of crazypants for me. Some fuss in the paper, a few scuffles, interesting divorce hearings, and delicious cheesecake. [Er, the real kind.] (Reply to this)(Parent)

	A) This guy is fandom how? B) "Infamous?" C) The first comment hopes someone will die. So classy! And ironic in a way, considering how much fun people have commenting, "OMG NO, OF COURSE I DIDN'T KNOW HIM AT ALL BUT I CAN'T STOP CRYING!" and "It's sad, but at least he was old!" and other such words of wisdom when a celeb death is posted.

	Well, since he was the other half of a wank that was in the Fandom Wank wiki (and pretty infamous to us New Orleanians, anyway, if everyone has forgotten the fw_greatesthits entry), I figured it to be relevant. Perhaps I have failed, oh woe is me, et cetera. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! snacky 2008-03-24 02:51 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I still don't know how fighting with Anne Rice makes him fandom. Better luck next time, don't beat yourself up about it, et cetera. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! darkecology 2008-03-24 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Ooh, I'll get right on that. Thanks for your fandom sorting input. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! snacky 2008-03-24 02:59 am UTC (link)
	Aw, I didn't mean to upset you this much. Oh woe is me, et cetera. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! darkecology 2008-03-24 03:02 am UTC (link)
	Yes. You totally pushed me into a comment that I made on a post that was a repeat of my own. Your power is epic and staggering. Does it come with a shiny badge too, or do you have be promoted first? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! snacky 2008-03-24 03:07 am UTC (link)
	My power is totally awesome! I didn't realize I could push you with it! How did you know about the badge? They told me to keep it secret and to polish it every day. :( (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! darkecology 2008-03-24 03:10 am UTC (link)
	All cabals involve some kind of shiny trinket, right? Elementary, my dear Moderator. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! snacky 2008-03-24 03:12 am UTC (link)
	You said "cabal!" Now you get a badge too! Welcome. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! darkecology 2008-03-24 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Sweet! I shall polish it and love it always. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! snacky 2008-03-24 03:19 am UTC (link)
	Use your power for good, young one. Check your email, we'll be sending you the cabal meeting schedule, and ordering information for your uniform and jackboots. P.S. I love that icon. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	As it transpires, Anne Rice has a fandom. Don't ask me why. The fandom_wank wiki covers entries in otf_wank as well-- just not very often, because they're usually not funny. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! flakygoddess 2008-03-24 02:42 am UTC (link)
	Actually, I did know him. Thankfully, not so much her. But I'm glad you find me as classy as I feel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! snacky 2008-03-24 02:47 am UTC (link)
	Well, I'm truly sorry for your loss. Thankfully, fandom_lounge is here to support you in your grief. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! flakygoddess 2008-03-24 02:51 am UTC (link)
	Thank god the internet cares enough about my emotions to peel through the layers of one measley sentence to reveal my true inner grief. I had no idea service was this speedy, or caring! Thank you, fandom_lounge, for providing the emotional support I never knew I needed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! snacky 2008-03-24 02:57 am UTC (link)
	Well, you were the one who volunteered the information that you knew him. People who are grieving often feel the need to share random things about the deceased. Fandom_lounge is your first-stop, full service online memorial/wake. We're here for you, day and night! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! flakygoddess 2008-03-24 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Right. Well, since the logic train has left us in the dust, I think it's my cue to leave the tubes and go back to work. Alas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! snacky 2008-03-24 03:09 am UTC (link)
	Alas! Just when we were getting some place. :( (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! snacky 2008-03-24 03:13 am UTC (link)
	At least we had this one touching moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Stay awesome, fandom_lounge! flakygoddess 2008-03-24 03:17 am UTC (link)
	Would that I didn't need to earn money. Who knows how many such moments have been truncated? Alas, woe, and a dearth of cheez-its. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A dearth of cheez-its! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	A) This guy is fandom how? I don't care how he's connected: He's the founder of Popeye's Chicken. Salute, dammit! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	joins in Best stuff ever. I was so sad when the one in Biloxi was destroyed by Katrina. Wasn't bad enough that you made my grandparents call my dad and tell him he had to change my name, but you had to blow away the best chicken place down there. Stupid hurricane. goes and finds the local Popeyes (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cancer" is actually a repeated typo for "vampire death squads." It happens more often than you think. (Reply to this)(Parent)
