LoOTP: They've pulled the plug on the Fool!

Postby Breelander » November 17th, 2016, 4:39 pm

It's my sad duty to inform you that the patient was in terminal decline and life support was turned off at 4:00pm GMT.

The LM for the last ever post on TMF was a bit strange - scratch that - was by bitstrange (in spite of Bink286's best efforts) with this poignant lament... Fool Fringe / Land of Off Topic Posts Author: bitstrange Subject: So sad...

The Fool is Dead - Long Live the New Fool!

Onwards and upwards!

Glad I got to post an official last post on LoOTP last night. Have to admit I shed a few tears.

Sorry, all out of recs now - my last for today (maybe forever? let's see in 24 hours) went to MrCPFG for the nerve of bagging a LM on a private test board (of all places!) - and that was posted this afternoon - so truly can claim to be the last LM (sorry to disappoint you).

Yes, was planning to keep a quiet eye on it, but guess it's out in the open now!

Happy to have lost out to MrCPFG - do we know if he and/or Bink are feeling zesty?

I imagine it was in the open before I mentioned it!

Don't follow the "lost out" but they'll be here or somewhere and posting at some stage.

This is good - very grateful we can still do it and it's definitely softened the blow.

Goodnight LoOTPians and Lemons, tomorrow's another Foolish day...

I have a 'prime suspect', but until they actually post something I can't be sure (maybe not even then).

Sorry PD, I meant the fact that I was keeping a quiet eye on it was in the open!

"Lost out" was referring to MrCPFG getting the last LM (and Bree's last rec).

HTH

Cheer up MM, at least we're still here - no need for a paws in your CotD posts :)
