COME ON YOU YANKS

![]() Blonde, I never said that your reply was out of line. I have no way of knowing whether you believed this or not because, as you stated, of course replying with condolences is the +ev way to respond to a thread like this. Not to mention that your initial reply was, "Tell me you're joking..." (which you obviously edited). That leads me to believe that you were, indeed, skeptical.
But too far? Come on now. Is this where we've gone? To the point where we can't have a few hours where we pretend someone died to get a rise out of each other? I certainly hope not. |

![]() Not far enough. It was a mistake not to let it drag on for a couple of days. We should have conjured up a picture of his dead, bloated corpse with photoshop. We should have faked a news article claiming he did awful things to an elderly woman.

![]() Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Always wanted to say that.
I feel like Huck Finn right now. Or tom sawyer. Whatever. Haven't really been able to lock down a computer in the last few days, have just sent an email to my parents to let THEM know I'm still alive. Full Moon Party was fucking incredible. 30k-plus people on a 1km beach, all painted up with neon and dancing to loud trance music. I met up with the guys from the Muay Thai school I'd trained at before the party... (let me just say that it's a really good thing I did, because this was the one event of my vacation where I would have been completely overwhelmed if I showed up alone.) Drank at the gym with people from all over the world... obv the thais who ran the school, also S. African, Swedish, Finnish, Russian, English, Aussie... OK not all over the world, no one from America. But we got drunk and smoked some weed (and it was really fucking good weed), I was drinking SamSong, which is Thai maybe-whiskey-maybe-rum. We got to the party around midnight and it was just sensory overload. Like a club packed wall-to-wall, but on the beach. Everyone was drinking buckets, these little beach buckets filled with ice, and they pour bottles of vodka and mixers into them, and you have to always watch them pour so you don't get drugged. People all over the beach were fucked up the whole night, going swimming (not safe), making out in the sand, dancing oblivious to surroundings. The moon had this kind of hazy halo around it the whole night (tried to take a picture, didn't capture it.) On the east part of the beach there was this big hill with steps carved into the stone like something from middle earth. A few of us went up, there were a few floors with bars and on the top an ominous sign that said "SHAKES". For 500 baht (about $16, which was the same price as my bungalow on the beach) you got a mushroom shake, which actually didn't taste that bad. I had one, actually a little less than one because I shared some of it, some of the guys I was with had two and that got them pretty fucked up. To be honest I'm not sure if it affected me, I def. felt really good and very drunk, but it might have just been because I was at a sick party and I'd drank a lot. My one regret is that I didn't stay until sunrise. Around 6:00 the people I was with decided to head back. At this point I should have said "Nice meeting you guys, I'm going to stay." After all I'd been traveling solo for 3 weeks, and I didn't need an entourage. But I decided to head back to the west part of the island with them, which is where my beach was. Maybe it's a good thing, FC would have felt very bad if he made the joke about my being dead and then found out I really was. Unforgettable experience. In fact this whole vacation has been and I will put up a more detailed post when I get back. I've got about 500 pictures, and I'll put some up here as well (I'll spare you all the Angkor Wat photos.) My flight is tonight and I'm kind of depressed to be going back to faggy old london. |

![]() Kremlin: Negrepping me for posting that a friend who also injured himself at full moon party (before I knew about your "death", ftr), to the point of having to get a significant portion of his foot cut off due to tissue death by infarction, because you felt it was not an adequate point to bring up during your fake injury, is kind of fucked up, no?
I was legitimately worried about your condition almost all of last night. I got really somber, talked to my gf about how fucked up it was that you had just posted and were now dead. Went to sleep hoping it was a joke, and I'm glad it is. I'm sorry you thought my post was out of place. |

I agree. Remember when we used to "ruin lives one at a time?" This thread was 100% in the spirit of Nubblies. But apparently it was a bit too believable because more people saw it than you may realize. I got an email from somebody very high up in my company in Chicago asking about it.

![]() I'd also like to note that I received positive rep from Kremsky for this - negative rep from everybody else.

![]() This thread has had some fantastic peaks, but none as great as Blonde defending his story about his friend cutting his foot that he posted immediately after FC says that Kremlin has MASSIVE BRAIN HEMORRHAGING.
But at least he wasn't dead at that point. |

![]() Yeah FC, Antoine sent a cryptic email that he heard I was dead (coworker in chicago, NOT on nubblies), how did that happen??? If I get to Heathrow and my passport doesnt work because I'm legally dead or our company cancelled my work visa, I will be mildly upset.
Blonde I have given you posreps when you deserve them, I stand by my negrep. I'm not mad or anything, but you gotta take your medicine. Upon further review, I wish that I had seen this thread and instituted radio silence on nubblies AND work email to make FC think I really WAS dead. But I had already responded to an email from FC saying "How you doing dude?" |

An old highschool friend of mine lurks on Nubblies just about every day. He used to post here but it's been so long that I don't remember his name. He saw the thread and contacted a mutal friend of myself and Paul (Nowski). Nowski proceeds to freak out and tell everybody including another mutual friend in our firms Chicago office and Kremlin's old roommate - including others. Kremlin's old roommate freaks out and gets ahold of Kremlin's Jiu Jitsu friend who also works in our office. He freaks out and contacts Kremlins old boss who is a partner in our firm. Kremlin's old boss is worried and emails my boss and people in the London office asking about it. I have to call everybody in the chain of lies and set everything straight. I think there's a good chance Kremlin's old roommate could have contacted Kremlin's parrents. | |

![]() What I love is that everyone believed it. "What's that? Kremlin went to Thailand, took ecstacy, dehydrated, got hit in the head, and died from internal hemmorhaging? Yea I could see it. Poor bastard. Better call Johnson in the London office."

![]() People believed it because its in the wrong not to. My initial response was "bullshit" but then I thought about it and said to myself "why would anyone joke about something like this?" It really was in incredibly poor taste, even for us.
Regardless of constant internal struggles, I imagine in 99% of situations I would have the back of anyone on these boards (even you Shaw). So when someone in the brotherhood of Nubblies "died" it called into question a lot of things. I honestly spent a lot of time thinking about it yesterday as I only logged on briefly yesterday to find out his condition. I'll spare you guys my internal soul-searching epiphanies. I get you guys were going for shock value, and nothing is more shocking than an untimely death; but the point is that this sort of thing weighs heavy on some people and this whole "prank" was in poor taste and, in my opinion, lazy. edit: Also, seriously Blonde? A cut foot? |
