Rest in Peace

[jeffandnicole]

It's been a year since you left us.
When you were born, the world rejoiced.
You lived your life in a manner so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Sleeping With Angels, Living With God
Memories Will Comfort Until We Meet Again
Always Loved And Never Forgotten
Each happiness of yesterday is a memory for tomorrow.
Forever in this heart of mine, an everlasting bond, for now until the end of time, are memories so fond.
A thousand words won't bring you back; neither will a thousand tears.
Always on our mind; forever in my heart.
The life of the dead is placed in the heart of the living.

Rest in Peace, Alanland

I was expecting a eulogy for a family member and got a goat, and no one wants a goat.

Edit: this is what I'm referencing

[corco]

I'll pour one out tonight for the ghost
goats.

[hbelkins]

That was and was not a wonderful eulogy.

INB4 threadlock.

Edgar Allan Poe was remarkably prescient about this phenomenon in his prose poem, Eureka:

My general proposition, then, is this: -- In the Original Unity of the First Thing lies the Secondary Cause of All Things, with the Germ of their Inevitable Annihilation.

Alanland apparently lives on in the roadmeet.

Yeah, this. It's also been awhile since blawp has signed up to troll us again...

I'm impressed someone remembered the exact date of the Nimbyan Invasion...

I used to have the date in my sig.

It was a recent review of the thread that reminded me the date was coming up. Besides, it's pretty easy to look at the time stamps to figure out its lifespan!

If exactly one post has been deleted, there are still 2000 posts, just not 2000 replies.

That... That is evil

For the love of God ... why?

"Oh the humanity!"  "Listen, folks; I... I'm gonna have to stop for a minute because I've lost my voice. This is the worst thing I've ever witnessed."

Never and always forget.

There is (and is not) a reason why I moved back from Eastwest Boscoria to '3,229 miles away [as the crow flies] from a numbered American highway' (That being Alt US 1 in Hamlin ME).

I'm pretty sure crows don't fly across the Atlantic.

How about ravens carrying letters?  White ravens for the advent of winter?

How about an european or african swallow carrying a coconut?

Are you suggesting coconuts are migratory?

It's a particular thread. However, if you joined after 6/22/14, you would not know.

I wanted to post this in the Alanland thread, but I kept forgetting, and then it got locked.  I guess I'll post here before this gets locked too.

During the winter of 2013-2014, the City of Auburn replaced the primary water main for the city.  I never got a picture, but there was a "ROAD WORK AHEAD" sign with an "END DETOUR" sign below it, which I thought would be perfect for Alanland.  It got even better when it started snowing since there was road work in the winter in Central NY.  Then, we got around a foot of snow, and after the street was plowed, the snowbank was touching the bottom of the "END DETOUR" sign.

Well, I meant in a straight line. Due to the shape of the Earth, this renders as a big curve across North Atlantic Ocean in Google Maps, but it's actually straight.

That date system confuses me, especially up to the twelfth day of any given month. For example, my birthday is on April 7th, not on Independence Day (7/4 and 4/7 respectively for me, the other way round for you). But that is another topic.

I myself joined long after the ethanman thing happened, but when I published my plans for an I-666 encircling Washington DC, I followed the running gag he established and stated the speed limit on the section that currently is VA 28 would be 85. However, the same running gag has VA 28 becoming I-366 instead.
