I am gutted about this. Nothing more to say. Fucking gutted.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

I have to hit the liquor store for a "gift" for my company Christmas party...looks like I'll be picking up a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black as well.

I'll be on Google + hangout when I get home if anyone wants to join me.

That'll be somewhere about 6pm EST, so 11-midnight for you Brits.

He played quite a large role in my de-conversion, so I'm very sad to see him gone; I fucking love his work.

At least he's permanently free of the pain of moron induced headaches, though.

Another sad day. Expect a massive flurry of youtube clips and concomitant snarky comments.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Only last night was I watching some classic Hitch-slaps on YouTube. It's a terrible loss for humanity.
