Oh really, Trevor Noah is taking over the Daily Show? I saw him live a couple of years ago and he was hilarious. Very political, intelligent and just damn funny, the perfect fit for taking over from Jon Stewart.

You know what's funny about DrCrows sudden departure directly because of gay marriage being legalized in the US(... wtf.  Guess he's moving to Russia or Ethiopia?)  is that I remember this other time he said something like all conservative republicans deserve to be executed, and yes he seriously said that.

I'm not hating the guy, I actually liked his thoughts and enjoyed talking with him outside of the political threads and I honestly hope he comes back, but this has all left me a bit confused.  :S

 He told me that he hopes me and my family fall into financial hardship that we are unable to overcome as well as other horrible things. That was after I gave him a pat on the back and some friendly advice on finding a job.
Every time I tried to talk to him , he went all dramatic and posted a wall of hate and nonsense.
He just made a huge post about how he never sees anyone but his family whom he lives with, has no money, has no way to get out of his house, can't get a job, ect. (you know, his usual shtick) Then right after that, goes to another thread to talk about a comic con he's about to attend...
Somethin' don't add up...
He's an asshole and I'm glad he's gone.
I don't like feeling that way, but I never saw another side of him.

He does flip-flop around a fair bit on a number of issues (He even made a comment early on that parents shouldn't be allowed to raise their children in a religious environment, which doesn't square at all with the attitude he's displayed towards religion later on).

He does have his mental issues, though, so I'm not surprised by the contradictory statements he's given.

 Oh... I didn't see those posts.


But yeah you are definitely right about something not adding up.  There was that story about how he used to work at wal-mart, and had to walk out because he was being "bullied", and was unable to get in touch with wal-mart corporate to get the situation resolved so he had to walk out because he couldn't take it anymore.  

That story never sat right with me, because I work at wal-mart and getting in touch with corporate is not hard.  Like, at all.  I recall a time when one of my co-workers who is deaf (both with and without the "a" :)) kept being asked to work in a situation where she would be expected to answer the phones (which is stupidity beyond my comprehension... I don't know if her supervisor's just kept forgetting because she's so good at reading lips or what...) so she got tired of it and contacted corporate (had one of the assistant managers do it for her) and the whole situation was resolved THE VERY NEXT DAY.  (nice gal too.  And pretty.  Sidebar, she has a thing for me too, and if she didn't have kids I'd totally be into it, but I don't like kids so I pretend like I don't notice when she flirts with me, though it pains me because I actually do like her quite a bit.  But that's a story for another time, one which isn't really worth sharing.  :P)

But anyway, that story he told about not being able to talk to corporate never felt true to me.

I started suspecting something wasn't quite straight with DrCrow's stories when he began periodically bringing up how he was on the verge of losing his Internet connection, how in a short period of time -- be it days, weeks, whatever -- he'd be left unable to return to the forums for an extended period of time. Every time this happened, though, he'd somehow get lucky and continue posting here with little perceivable interruption.

Now, I realize unlucky people get strokes of luck all the time. In his case, though, under the circumstances he claims to be under, I have trouble buying into it. If my family were under such dire circumstances -- and we're not exactly rolling in dough as it is -- Internet access would be the very first thing to go, and it would stay gone for a very long time.

I honestly think DrCrow might be a pathological liar.

My personal experience with a habitual liar back in the 80's taught me that when they sense the jig is up, they turn on the person who's found them out, and burn the bridges as quickly as possible.

Well, I used to own one, but it collapsed when I tried hauling heavy truckloads of uranium ore across it.

 That could explain why he lashed out at me every time I offered advice or encouragement.
Maybe he thought I was on to him.

(he was right.)

Happy birthday.  My gift to you is that you get to take out your anger and frustration and go hit somebody as hard as you can.  Just tell them I told you it was okay, it'll be fine.

But do we know the question?

It must be, "What is Warbler's age?"

Congratulations, Warbler.  You are a part of the riddle of life, the universe, and everything!  Never age another day, and happy birthday!
