"OldFunkyBastard" died recently.....

[jeffrey]

Hello to Non Entity and others at this message board,

I wanted to let you know that we deeply appreciate your recent emails inviting "OldFunkyBastard" (Or Bernard, his real name) to come back and visit your message boards. He actually mentioned this place a couple of times in the past as someplace he identified with. We are glad that this is a place he used to fit in.

unfortunately, Bernard died a couple months ago. His diabetes continued to get worse, and he became blind before eventually dying. I'd like to say his death was painless and in his sleep. Unfortunately it was extremely painful. He was playing with his grand kids when he suffered a heart attack. They thought he was playing and bounced on him which probably just made his death happen all the faster.

So again, I would like to thank Non Entity for sending emails to "OldFunkyBastard" to make a return. Unfortunately he is dead and will not be able to post any longer. We deeply regret his death and even though he had a drinking problem and was a lot to take care of the past several months leading to his death, he will be missed.


Thanks again,
Jeffrey (The son of Bernard, "OldFunkyBastard.")

WEll thanks for letting us know, Jeffrey. This is horrible, horrible news..... I am so confused. He's been replying to my emails. Even said he would post today. That must have been you who was replying to me?


Most horrible news. This is a sad day. I am going to pin this for other ppl to see

[jeffrey]

Yes it was in fact me. I'll do the righteous thing and post on this board the next few days to answer any questions regarding Bernard before I leave.

[Non Entity]

WEll you know, this is too weird. I emailed OldFunkyBastard just about 20 minutes ago when I saw this. And he is online right now.....and Jeffrey is online too. I don't understand at all what's going on. Are you checking oldfunkybastard's private messages on another computer?

[jeffrey]

Yes. That is exactly what I am doing. You are sort of being a jerk, considering OldFunkyBastard is dead and buried in a grave and you keep questioning my integrity.

[oldfunkybastard]

Okay, What the HELL is going on here?

First off, my name is not Bernard. Never has been, never will be. And I am not blind! AND I HAVE ONE DAUGHTER, NO SONS! AND I DON'T KNOW ANYONE NAMED JEFFREY!


AND I AM NOT DEAD!


I don't know who you are or what you want from me, "Jeffrey."


Folks, I am sorry that this nutcase has written these awful things about me. I assure you I am very much alive, and while it is true I have diabetes and that JEffrey is obviously well-read with our forums and conversations, he is not my son. I can assure you of that!


Thank you very MUCH

[Non Entity]

Prove that its really you, OFB. You know how.

[jeffrey]

OMG, someone has stolen my id and password. This is a tragedy that someone would sink so low as to impersonate Bernard and say he is still alive. I am sorry that he is toying with your emotions like this. He is most definitely dead. I saw his carcass and attending the funeral.

[Non Entity]

You mean that someone has stolen HIS id and password, right? BEcause youa re still online, Jeffrey.

[oldfunkybastard]

You want proof, do you? Proof?!?!?? How about this as proof: I wrote this in an email to you:

"Blow fire out of my __" and I intentionally left the other part blank. So you tell ME, Jeffrey, what was the last part of that sentence if its really you who Non-Entity was emailing?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

[jeffrey]

I didn't see that email. You must be making it up. Oh wait, now I see it in my inbox. Okay, the last word is ass.

[oldfunkybastard]

Nice try, but did you really think this old man would throw you a bone, dog?!?!? You are nothing but a dog!!!!! I didn't use the word "ass" in that sentence, nor any other for that matter of fact.

[Non Entity]

Okay, this issue will be resolved privately. I will talk to both of you by PM.
