I expect him to be grateful dead.
(ok, I'll grab my coat)
I'd rather be phishing!

OK, OK I'll give you that one, even if it is a tad early.

I am sure it was a long, strange trip for him.

Words from out a silk trombone
I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls

One of the concert venues I walk past on the way to work has up a memorial to him on the front...
"Robert Hunter fare the well
Thanks for the long strange trip"
Or something like that. Well I look up and instantly notice 'the well' and could only wonder if they ran out of 'e's. I really want to stop by after work today and point it out to them. Because I live in a college down they have probably had 1000 others do the exact same thing.

Anyone with a decent job offer?

My bosses are always looking for someone. But they realy demand something from you. Every friday we go outside and grill some steaks. And it also has occured that they reserve a table at the Oktoberfest and force you to gulp down two or three litres of Oktoberfestbier in two hours. You may also be asked to learn the Bavarian hymn and come in traditional clothing to such events.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

No good. I do not eat meat or drink alcohol...
However, my German not that bad... Used to spend summer - working - in East Germany, when I was younger...

They weren't plastic! They were cardboard.

I once saw one at the side of the road that had caught fire. Only the metal parts were left over and that was not so much.

if there is one thing i am sure of, it is that Chris had a good reason for removing it ... its absence means nothing to me because i almost never used it ... the Lounge has always met my needs for recreation, entertainment, social contact, spouting off, friendly jabbering, and semantic dueling, etc.
and, yes, i've been beating my dead horse about code in the Lounge for a long time: i'll spare you telling you why, again (hint: curation => lasting accessibility, and value).
as mentioned on the other SB thread today, i agree we are now seeing spillage of former SB material here, and that is annoying ... if i choose to read that.
there will always be individuals on (permissive) public forums that will troll, or act-out personal psychodramas that are disruptive, grandiose, narcissistic, etc. my experience is they tend to flame-out, or push the limits so far they get kicked-out.
now: let's take a deep breath, and then remind ourselves we are (diverse) members of a remarkable community !
