Non-Obits: Special Edition

 TS Hendrik
1983 – Last Week ?

There’s a pretty good chance that TS Hendrik has most likely died. Reports vary, but it is believed that his extended absence from the blogging world is a result of his untimely demise. At first there was an outlandish rumor that his internet was simply down, but after he repeatedly ignored numerous emails requesting that he confirm or deny this claim, the rumor was deemed bogus. The more likely explanation was that he had kicked the bucket. The first intimations that tragedy had struck were the worried whisperings of Sir Reginald Plumperdink, The Duchess Gary Cooper, and Melvin. But when there was no “7-Word Weekend Review” post, two Fridays in a row, suspicions were assumed confirmed. His desire was that his epitaph should read "He loved Love but Love loved another". He will be missed as long as he is missing.


 
 Karat
Dec. 27, 2011 – Jan. 27, 2012

Mr. Hendrik’s beloved goldfish, Karat, passed away yesterday afternoon. Many people fondly remember her from the post TS wrote about her, just one short month ago. Due to TS’s disappearance, no one was around to feed her, and she gave up her last pixel at around 12:30 pm. She is survived by the bacteria growing inside her bowl which, ironically, only exists because TS wasn't around to clean it.

  5. Robyn, Melvin somehow got himself stuck in a dishwasher, so there's no way I can give him to you just now. But if TS stays dead, and the plumber gets here soon, we'll talk.

  7. Thanks, Rep. Please do keep me in mind. I assure you'd I'd offer Melvin a loving home. I've always been drawn to the pathetic wounded types. BTW, that's terribly sad about TS. Don't forget I get first dibs on Melvin.

  8. Wooooooo I am the ghost of TS. Had to "borrow" someone's WIFI to respond.

    I see how it is. Not gone but two weeks and already people be dividing up the cats.

    And Rep, didn't I ask you to feed Karat for me? Remind me again is that pronounced like carrot or like karate without an e?

    I should have internet back up Tuesday, at which point my ghost can return to blogging.

    Loved the post Rep, been awhile since there was a non-obit.

  9. Sheesh. TS is a ghost for less than a week and he's forgotten everything. Karat is pronounced like "karat", as in a 24 Karat Gold Fish. Don't you remember how clever you thought you were when you named her?

  10. I've been missing, so I didn't even know you were missing...

  11. Glad to learn that rumor of your demise was unfounded!

  12. I thought you just had a crush on love, I didn't know it was that serious.

    There must be something about late January/February, because I feel like I've been phoning it in (but shhh don't tell my 4 fans).
