Hey, we're here all year. Maybe longer.

Just spent a few hours on the phone with an almost friend. Now thinking of falling asleep. Or falling and then going to sleep. In any way, being sure that it is the next year as the next year should be nicer than the last year. It would almost have to be...

Oh my God.

It doesn't seem real. I hardly knew him, and I don't think we ever exchanged more than a few words, but he was just...Gus. Who would never let the Firefly thread die. Who said the most profound things without even trying.

Wow. This is sad.

I am not sure I ever really ''spoke'' to Gus muich, but I was always happy to read his post and am very sorry to hear of his passing. Thank you so much kimi for taking the time to post here and let us know.

Yeah, I was extremely sorry to hear the news last night. Many condolences to his family and those who knew him better. He always seemed like a great guy.

I'm very sorry to hear about Gus. Much peace to his family and friends.

Oh, what sad news to wake up to. Kimi, I am so sorry for your loss. Gus brought a lot to the board, and he will be missed. And, as others have said, please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. That's what we're here for.

In the last two days I've skimmed through 900-some posts in here. Ahh, how I've missed my talky Bitches. {{}} and ~ma for anyone that I miss.

Much peace and ~ma to you and yours, DJ. So sorry for your loss.

vw, love your Thelma. Are you now going to get a food processor and name it Louise? What appliance will be played by Brad Pitt?

kimi, thanks for coming to tell us about Gus. I don't think I really posted with him, but I am sad to see him leave us. Much peace and love to you at this difficult time. ::raises glass::

And then the rest of the thread gave me allergies. I'll need to be braced for the wake, as the outpouring of love from the Buffistas floors me even on an average day.

Thank you Trudy for posting a link to this in Beep Me. I was just reading through threads this morning, came across the wake suggestion in Bureacracy, and was very confused, so I went striaght to Beep Me.

I have little to say that has not been said by people more eloquent than I am, upthread, but my condolances to Kimi and Seamus and Seamus's wife. Gus's wit and humor will be greatly missed here on this board.

Kimi, thank you for letting us know. I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't do scotch, but I shall fly a kite in memory of Gus. Damn, what a loss.

Welcome 2007. Let's do better this year, ok?

I just logged on a few minutes ago and I was so sad to read about Gus. Although we spoke a few times and posted together frequently, I never knew where the weremonkey name came from. It's funny what you can not know online.

My first interaction with Gus had something to do with calling him good looking. I don't remember the details anymore, but he was funny. I am sad that we have lost him and so sorry for the loss kimi and the rest of his family are undergoing.
