I’m leaving forever.

[patteeu]

Mod note: Here is the follow-up to this thread.

Seriously, I am.


I know what you’re thinking. Maybe I got annoyed by something someone said. Maybe after two Super Bowls in a row I’m satiated on the Chiefs. Maybe I’m going to prison, or joining Dick Cheney on a barnstorming tour, or maybe the antifreeze actually wasn’t a good idea and I died.

The fun of a farewell forever thread is not in knowing the reason. It’s in not knowing, and the mystery behind the disappearance. MrBlond is legendary not because he was here or because he left, but rather because of how he departed. He was DB Cooper jumping out of the Chiefsplanet plane and disappearing into the night, and with that act he became immortal.

It is now my time to parachute from the plane, and I can assure you that I will not return. It would be enjoyable to become an unsolved Chiefsplanet mystery in the process, but I can’t do that to you. It’s cruel enough that you will no longer get to read my thoughtful prose and learn from my wisdom. I can’t allow you to speculate forever about what became of me, and to always wonder if that guy with the fake glasses and mustache sitting next to you at the game is me.

So I’ve instructed one Chiefsplanet member to reveal the mystery. If this thread ever reaches 1,000 posts, that person will share the reason. But until then, you will have only my boarding pass, a flight attendant’s vague description, and 110,871 posts to remember me by.

Farewell, Chiefsplanet!

(Sound of wind rushing past an open passenger cabin door.)

Who here gives a ****?

Tapout acknowledged. Later Patteau. You were always cool. RIP.

I don’t even know who you are.

[Chiefspants]

It may have been more fitting to post this in DC. Been a while since I last saw you active in these parts.

See ya, Pat. Thanks for the debates in the early Obama years. Hope you and yours are doing well.

[Hammock Parties]

Burst. We has it.

[chiefforlife]

I would never have admitted this if not for this thread but Patteeu has been one of my favorite posters on this site. We had many run ins early on and I have grown to appreciate and respect his opinions.

If this is real, I will miss you sir. You have a unique and refreshing perspective. For whatever reason, your posting style or ability to express yourself always makes sense to me even if I disagree with it.

We need more Pateeu not less around here.

I sincerely hope all is well with you.

If the reason you are leaving is because this place sucks, yeah, we already know that.

I'm not sure that pat knows what the word "immortal" means.
It also seems like the kind of thing he'd be willing to argue about for weeks on end.
Probably only rivalled by Donger in his capacity to bicker about semantics and meaningless minutiae for as long as you could take it.

You were sort of funny sometimes and mostly better than most with your leanings.
RIP

See ya Patty.

oh

I can't help but wonder if this is related to pat's recent embrace of Judaism (as seen in his avatar) and he's decided to disregard trivial things in favor of devoted study of the Talmud.
