I’m leaving forever.
Quote:
I know what you’re thinking. Maybe I got annoyed by something someone said. Maybe after two Super Bowls in a row I’m satiated on the Chiefs. Maybe I’m going to prison, or joining Dick Cheney on a barnstorming tour, or maybe the antifreeze actually wasn’t a good idea and I died. The fun of a farewell forever thread is not in knowing the reason. It’s in not knowing, and the mystery behind the disappearance. MrBlond is legendary not because he was here or because he left, but rather because of how he departed. He was DB Cooper jumping out of the Chiefsplanet plane and disappearing into the night, and with that act he became immortal. It is now my time to parachute from the plane, and I can assure you that I will not return. It would be enjoyable to become an unsolved Chiefsplanet mystery in the process, but I can’t do that to you. It’s cruel enough that you will no longer get to read my thoughtful prose and learn from my wisdom. I can’t allow you to speculate forever about what became of me, and to always wonder if that guy with the fake glasses and mustache sitting next to you at the game is me. So I’ve instructed one Chiefsplanet member to reveal the mystery. If this thread ever reaches 1,000 posts, that person will share the reason. But until then, you will have only my boarding pass, a flight attendant’s vague description, and 110,871 posts to remember me by. Farewell, Chiefsplanet!

That is unless you are Gaz who bowed out nicely citing decent reasons. Most of the other avoir threads seem to be attention sympathies. |

I realize the stigma attached to "I'm leaving forever" threads but, to me this feels like that was used tongue in cheek. I reserve the right to change my opinion on this once we find out the reason(s) behind his leaving but, I think this was intended as a genuine and graceful goodbye to a community that he was a part of for the better part of two decades - the attention whoring mystery aspect notwithstanding.

I feel like we should have a political debate or something in pat's honor. That would kick the post rate up a notch.
