    it's been a thin slice of heaven...

    time for me to bow out my friends...

    for various reasons I've decided to leave these forums - I have passed over control of the website, chatroom, Slacker Council etc. to RedHot5 - he also now has the swmcmmj@hotmail.com address...

    if you ever want to contact me, although I can't imagine you ever would my address is dapper_bloke@hotmail.com

    I've had a lot of fun - thank you all...


    dapper_bloke will return in "The Slacker Who Loved Me"...

    Morning all.

    It is a sad day indeed. I received e-mail from dapper confirming what you have read. He didn't go into detail about why, but there must be some good reasons. We'll all miss him I'm sure. Today should be a tribute to dapper. If anybody has funny anecdotes or anything to share about him I would love to hear it.

    RedHot5 raises his glass http://mercury.beseen.com/images/chat/beer.gif

    TO DAPPER_BLOKE!

    You're a great slacker dapper_bloke, you will be missed. Please return soon. Thanks again for the website and the chat room. This is a sad day for sure.

    Red Hot5 will do a great job so we are in good hands. Hey, RedHot, I will be sending you some pics for the website as soon as I get my computer at home running again. It is still mocking me. Stoopid microsoft.

    Slack on and slack once more for dapper.

    Oh my God, this totally sucks!

    My tribute to dapper:

    (to the tune of New Order's True Faith)

    First Verse:
    I feel so depressed this morning
    My Slack mate dapper's gone away
    He ditched his website and he's left us
    This is a Slacker's darkest day
    I do care 'cos he's not there
    I do care that he's not there tomorrow
    Again and again he's been a Slacker
    Now he's not coming back-er

    Chorus:
    I never thought that this day would ever come
    I thought dapper would last past Episode One
    Episode One and Two and even Three
    And dapper would hang out and slack with me
    I never thought that this day would ever come
    I thought we would all meet in London

    Second Verse:
    When I was a junior member
    Other members taunted me
    Now that I've become a Slacker
    They're afraid of what they see
    dapper made us our own site
    Posted pictures and made a chatroom
    I don't know why admins were attacking
    But dapper's site makes for some good slacking

    Chorus

    Third Verse:
    I feel so depressed this morning
    My Slack mate dapper's gone away
    He ditched his website and he's left us
    This is a Slacker's darkest day
    The chances are some admins went too far
    They watched our chatroom and deleted our threads
    Now I fear dapper's disgusted
    Because some people cannot be trusted

    Chorus

    [Hooky rocks out on the bass until fade out]

    Hey, I just remembered it's my birthday. Yippee!

    My computer is crashed, I hate my job and it hates me, my pal dapper_bloke has left and I have a cold. Other than that, all is swell.

    Slack on.

    Best of luck dapper, it's been a real priviledge to slack with the best...

    In tribute: Slack and Bash and Creep [to the tune of Midnight Oil's Earth and Sun and Moon]


    Slack and Bash and Creep

    In the morning we will wake up, and take to our chairs
    Surf back to the forums, our own little lair
    The slacker crew is restless, posts up to the sky
    We're so damn unproductive, work's piling up high

    The boss is in his office, eyes fixed to our files,
    "That slacker's always working," he says with a smile
    "We couldn't do without him," and heaping on the praise
    He pulls out the chequebook, and throws out a raise

    [do do do do do]
    I wish you could see... this great mystery
    Slack and Bash and Creep, forum tribe, staying alive
    Slack and Bash and Creep, will survive

    I know the office workers, they all envy me
    A TCP-connection, and a shiny degree
    Soon I'll have an office, and assistants to boot
    Workers to work for me, and my own server too

    Too lazy to care
    Got a wing and a prayer

    In the blink of an eye
    Five o'clock and closing time

    Slack and Bash and Creep, forum tribe, staying alive
    Slack and Bash and Creep, staying alive, staying alive, staying alive


    Cheers Gundark

    p.s. Happy birthday Sandfarmer!

    Sorry to see you go dapper_bloke. We hate to lose you. You were a great slacker. You'll be greatly missed. I hope whatever took you away will let you come back to us some day.


    Sandfarmer Happy Birthday!! Things can only get better. Trust me.

    I have traveled far and wide, left and right, east and west looking for the meaning of life. I actually have not traveled anywhere because I'm too damn lazy. So I digress and find myself at my computer. Suddenly I am blinded by a flash of light and a voice says "You must become a Slacker!" and I reply " I don't understand! What is slacker?!!" Then the voice is gone and my computer reboots. Through many mouse clicks I find myself on this thread and suddenly it is all clear to me now...I must become a slacker. One who will not work but shall post until his fingers hurt. But I don't know where to start, how do I become a disciple of Slackismand how do I reach Nirslackna! Someone please teach me! Take me to your leader!!!!!!

    Happy b-day SF. [boot]Stoopid computer[/boot]

    I think my first duty on the slacker site will have to be a tribute to dapper page. If anyone has anything they would like to share about dapper send it on over to swmcmmj@hotmail.com

    Second wave of night shift slacking in. Only time for a little slacking as I am taking myself to the theater for number 11, while I still have a landspeeder at my disposal!

    I too am working on getting my picture on the site...drag having to depend on someone else to help me, but I don't have a scanner. Time to light a fire under his butt, me thinks!
