He shows as 'guest' now. Did I miss a really good thread or something?

He didn't like it when Saint deleted his threads, so he left.

In one hugely ironic moment, tommy's pit bulls attacked and killed him.

Does this make me Arcade Controls Enemy #1 again?

Would that even bother you? You worked really hard to gain that status. Intentionally.

Damn, I didn't think he was all that bad...

I didn't think he was all that bad either, but it was his decision to leave.

Yeah, it was more that he thought that "we" were all that bad.

tommy is harmless. I don't remember him ever doing anything meanspirited like the crap pinballjim used to do. I don't remember him having any publicly bad transactions. The guy is probably having a hard time with something RL at the moment. I didn't want him gone.

You guys piss me off too. But I just go away for a couple weeks then get SUCKED BACK IN!

That's a symptom of the RayBies. Fits of Rayge.

Naw TxtWorld and Genesim are higher on the wanted list.

If you say his name one more time, I think he comes back from the dead. So, stop it!

hypernova · « **Reply #12 on:** January 29, 2008, 05:01:02 pm »

Three choices:

A: Pit bulls, as JimmyU mentioned.

B: Wal-Mart got him

C: He knew the Giants would lose, and preemptively left.

koolmoecraig · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2008, 05:22:15 pm »

I do think it is a rather dignified way to exit.

This way he wont have to deal with the extreme ripping he'll receive after the Super Bowl.

On the flip side, we won't have to deal with the gloating if the Giants pull the upset.

shardian · « **Reply #14 on:** January 29, 2008, 07:42:32 pm »

Well he did sell glass for arcades, so I guess he did do arcade stuff at some point.

As Sam says in Burn Notice, "You know Tommies, A bunch of bitchy little girls."

That was a seriously pathetic way to leave. It wasn't the first time he whined and moaned because something didn't go his way. The last time I dealt with something like that was when I was 10 dealing with a spoiled brat down the street.

There once was a fellow named Tommy,
Who heard that we called him a commie.
His response was, "I bore 'em,
So who needs the forum?
I think I'll go home to my mommy!"

Hey, this looks like fun...

There once was a fellow named Chad,
Whose stories made everyone sad.
After a recent encounter,
He said "So what? I'm a downer!
I enjoy it and that ain't half bad."

A testament to my lovely wife's mad cooking skillz:

There once was a man who loved cake
Whose wife would no longer bake.
Said he, "Take this brick
And spread icing on thick.
No one will tell it is fake!"

I once saw a poem by Ed
I have no idea what he said
His words were bereft
I got up and left
And never returned to the thread

So not only are byoacers top notch cab builders but they are also talented poets.

Malenko · « **Reply #31 on:** January 31, 2008, 02:28:53 pm »

I wondered what happened to him, but I didn't really care enough to make a thread about it. I guess now I can hope the giants win because I hate the patriots and not have to read his gloating. I'd take 2 tommys over a genesism anyday, hell I'd take a chad and a half over a genesism, so its not really saying much

That's actually the BYOAC spread on the Super Bowl now that tommy is gone - a chad and a half. The over/under is shmokes.

In all honesty, I was hoping there was a really entertaining pitbull type thread that I missed.

ChadTower · « **Reply #36 on:** February 01, 2008, 09:09:51 am »

tommy was right about one thing... it's never the owner that gets mauled. It's always a kid from down the street or some random pedestrian. tommy will be fine.

knave · « **Reply #37 on:** February 01, 2008, 01:49:45 pm »

One day this forum turned lame.
All of the threads were the same.
People came here to whine.
And act just like swine.
I wish they would talk about Mame.

hypernova · « **Reply #38 on:** February 02, 2008, 07:16:49 pm »

There was a recent story just less than a month ago where the owner was killed by their pitbull.

I miss Tommy.
