I'm sorry to report that DUer Junkdrawer has passed away
I received a DU Mail from his wife last week, unfortunately since I was on vacation I only just got around to reading it. Here is the message:
"I would like to announce the death of my husband Richard (AKA "Junkdrawer") on 13 May 2014. Rich died ostensibly as a result of blunt force trauma to the upper body after a head-on collision. Nobody else was injured. They thought Rich was going to make it--he was able to tell them his name, address, & date of birth. Once en route to the hospital, however, he began experiencing some difficulty. When he arrived at the emergency room, they tried to revive him two or three times. He didn't make it...couldn't even hang on until I got there. This goes to prove that simply because one is driving a Subaru Forester does not mean that one will walk away unscathed."

A Subaru Forester. Even in death, one last little crumb of DUmp cred.
Probably on the way back from the local farmers' market, accompanied by his rescue mongrel.

They thought Rich was going to make it--he was able to tell them his name, address, & date of birth.
What are the odds he gave his DU name?

Fixed.

You didn't post some of the funnier stuff.
Rich was a true progressive and a realist--almost to the point of pessimism. He joined DU in 2002 and you all have been a part of our dinnertime discussions until he died. I do not think that many of the DU members know just how smart Junkdrawer was; he was scary-smart. He had been a math/physics major as an undergrad many, many years ago and got into computers in the 1980s. He once told me, "There is no playground greater than the one in my head," but I went ahead & married him anyway!
Richard was very concerned about the direction this country is headed. I was fond of saying, "Honey, if you're going to do intellectual battle, do intellectual battle with your equals." Very few people qualified.
A realist? :rotf:
Scary smart? :rotf:
"He once told me, "There is no playground greater than the one in my head." :rotf:
"The watered-down liberal pabulum that has replaced any sort of true activism was distressing to him. Increasingly he found people on DU who were merely posing as liberals (I believe you all call them "Trolls"). Often this would anger him."
:rotf:
"Honey, if you're going to do intellectual battle, do intellectual battle with your equals." Very few people qualified.

That there was the funniest part.
I didn't know this DUmmie very well, but I think I know more about his wife. She starts out rather cold, clinical, and detached. I thought maybe she was just trying to be dignified. But then when she goes on with this high-handed, haughty stuff, she became just another condescending, arrogant DUmp democrat.

Sorry,even though he probably had family that loved him,the more I see and read what these low life mutts want to do to this country the more I smile at the demise of each and every one of them.
Enjoy the sizzling eternity you deserve Junkbrain.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I never heard of this primitive, who apparently wasn't ever even on the far fringes of this radar.
So this lumpenunterprimitiven already gets his memorial slab in the mortuary, while the late mountain man primitive, the "ThomWV" primitive, remains unhonored.

As soon as I read auto accident I knew!! Subaru!! What have I been saying!

What a strange email from his wife. :mental:

Rumor has it that the junkdrawer primitive was swerving to miss another vehicle that was being piloted by a tall, thin man with unusually long hair...

Looks like he was one of the last DU2 holdouts. Check out this thread featuring the Walrus (koo koo kachoo) interacting with some forgettable primitives.

Yes, she makes an announcement in an email. Wife sounds like a total bitch to me:
Richard was very concerned about the direction this country is headed. I was fond of saying, "Honey, if you're going to do intellectual battle, do intellectual battle with your equals." Very few people qualified.
then she goes and insults most of the other DUmmies with that, and they don't even notice it. :whatever:
-
The only thing better than a dead DUmmy is two, or more, dead DUmmies.
I'm disappointed.
Until recently, every dead DUmmy sparked a sanctimony contest.

Maybe it's time for another "old buddy, old pal, how's it hanging" email to your partner.
No doubt his snubbing of ThomWV, one of the foremost DUmmies of his time, was inadvertent.
When the DUmp Hall of Fame is opened, on Martin Luther King Boulevard in some blue hellhole city, there's sure to be a Thom WV bust in there, complete with his necklace of self-extracted human teeth.

....you all have been a part of our dinnertime discussions until he died. Afterwards, I loved spending hours cleaning half digested bits of spaghetti, tofu and phlem off the walls and floor. What a guy!
And now, you know the rest of the story.
Good Day!

120. What a beautiful tribute from his wife... sorry to hear that such an incredible
person's life was cut short... RIP, sir, you will not be forgotten.
DUmmies quickly forget even their dead stars, like dear murdered Andy and the aforementioned ThomWV.
This obscure waste of skin has already been forgotten.

I gave DU3 a shot yesterday. This morning I saw an interesting (not mine) thread locked...
At the bottom of the OP I find:
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by SidDithers (a host of the General Discussion forum).
What would be the point of posting in a forum where, the minute you start swaying people to your point of view, the discussion can be shut down by an over-the-top troll like SidDithers?

1. Dunno, but I have a feeling this thread will be locked.
This is still a moderated forum. Sort of.
Why do you hide your profile?
All it really needs to show is the date you registered at DU and the number of posts you've made. I never understand why people find any need to hide those things.

2. Back in 2005, I had (by default) everything open including my home email addy....
After some really nasty emails, I locked everything I could.
Next question.

3. You can't get emails simply because your date of registration or actual number of posts show.
Take a look at my profile.
Next explanation.

it's that simple. You'll notice most of us don't go to the Promised land at all. It won't change when they turn out the lights here.
Oh and welcome to DainBramaged Underground, where there are NO conflicts and we avoid the locusts from III like the plague.

11. I suspect you're completely wrong
I haven't even looked there in close to two weeks. And It's been as long since I posted. I don't like III, I don't like where it's gong, I don't like how some of the sleaziest people I have ever 'met' are now the hall monitors there, and quite frankly, we have honest adult discussions here without people alerting on each other like children. The vendetta clique is gone from here. And those of us that remain like it that way.
Be well.
There's more, but that's all of Doug.

I wonder if any of the honest adult discussions over there included the best hiding spots for remotes.

Richard was fond of saying to the wife "honey, I was DUmmy born and DUmmy breed and when I die I will be DUmmy dead". Richard, who according to Richard was "scary smart" came up with the screen name "junkdrawer" one day while watching the wife from behind. As he watched Ms. Junkdrawer bend over to clean the cat box he thought to himself "damm, look at all that "junk in the trunk". A rather dim lightbulb came on and the next thing you know, DUmmy "I'm drunk and only wearing drawers" became DUmmy junkdrawer.

I drive a Toyota, but I don't go head-on into oncoming traffic, and I wear my seat belt. Wearing a seat belt in my GTI, waaay back in 1988, saved my life. 'Blunt-force trauma to the upper body' sounds as if said DUmmie wasn't wearing one, and just trusted the Forester to keep it invulnerable to stupidity.

That "They Lived" commercial for Subaru is a little untimely. Oh well.

You'd think the wife would have mentioned a seatbelt if he was wearing it at the time.

Every time I see that commercial on TV, I think about how the people that lost loved ones in one of their cars feel about that.
-
I'm surprised it hasn't been yanked. Aside from taste, it also implies that you are somewhat bullet-proof if you drive a Subaru. In this litigious society, is that a good idea?

I'd like to see Harley Davidson run commercials like that.
They could use some of those great YouTube motorcycle crash videos, and call them "They Died".

This is why the death of a DUmbass is cause for celebration.

A DUmbass has died? That explains why the sun is shining brighter, the air smells sweeter and why I'm that much happier today.
The only good DUmbass is a dead DUmbass. It's just too bad he didn't suffer in pain and agony before passing.

Do you find it easier to take out a primitive when you are wielding one or two S&K wrenches? I would imagine two wrenches would be more efficient, but one wrench would be easier to conceal when the deed has been done.

Uh, what was done with the late red round one, and then later the primitive woman bothered by cold weather, the "TroubleInWinter" primitive, didn't involve any S/K adjustable wrenches.

Obviously the one he chose for the DUmmie death pool.

That's probably for the best. A wrench is practically your calling card.

I limited to how much I can expand the reply. Repercussions could be severe.
I'd like to state here and now that I do not plan any acts of aggressions against any person, either private or elected.

How would you decide the "right one"?
Actually, any time any primitive springs loose of this mortal coil, it's a "win" for humanity in general.
But some of us think some would be bigger "wins" than others.

And well he might have, but for the giant unsecured organic eggplant he had just purchased at the local farmers' market, from an undocumented Eastern European Socialist trying to make a new life for himself here. Ten pounds of solid vegetable smacking into the back of his head at thirty miles an hour undid all the good that airbags and crashworthiness engineering could do, in one careless and seemingly-trivial decision about cargo stowage...

That makes sense.
One night the DUmmy was feeling frisky, and he whispered in her ear, "Honey, let me stick it in your junk drawer".
The very next day, Mrs. junkdrawer posted at the DUmp about his untimely death.
