Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm down for the wake. Better get some good single malt for the man.
Fuck. I named him Weremonkey. (I think I did, anyway.)
I remember when he delurked, at the bar with his laptop and his friends and the Scotch drinking. (Can we Nilly up his first post?) And the kites. And his son with the WHO. Irish Traveler and Somali - Not a man you meet every day, as the Pogues put it.
Here's to you, Gus. We'll do you proper on the 17th.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I was just wondering about him this week. Wondering why he hadn't been around lately.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Raises a glass to Gus, and to what Hec said.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Remember when he unveiled his picture? Dude was like an NBA center sized Billy Dee Williams.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The 17th. We'll pick a time that works for both coasts. Once we pick a good charity I'll announce the whole thing in Beep Me and take the donations.
I thought he was Traveler and Bantu? We'll pull up posts and do something lovely. And have a good cry. And this year's auld lang syne will be for him and my gramma and my aunt mimi and... and... and...

I seemed to believe that he taught in Wisconsin. Am I mis-remembering?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Somali Bantu, as I recall, so you're both right. I do love that picture - David's right on, but didn't mention the charm and humor that were so right there.

Always Anti-fascist!
And he was a Wirefiend's Wirefiend. We used to talk about all the time...I was waiting for his thoughts on the finale, in fact. I'm sorry we won't share that again.(even if he didn't think "Who's Hot?" worthy Wire chat.) I'm glad I was home sometimes to swap McNulty chat with him in the hospital, sometimes.He gave us points for including Lester Freamon on the Hottie List, though.
