    Never thought he was all that smug, per se, though he did enjoy tweaking you.

    Don't I know it heh, talk about being outclassed. We both found it hilarious. It's kinda funny he leaves near me and we go to the same bar, he told me he was leaving and we would never know it if we were sitting right next to eachother

    Hate to bring the bad news and it makes me feel even worse that it took me so long to care to look up and find out a few years too late. Anyway...

    Many years ago it so happened that we "met" with Adrian II, ie. exchanged real names and even had a couple short phone chats. It was extremely important for him that I shouldn't reveal his identity, to which I promised and with which promise I'll remain bound to the end. A few weeks ago I did a web search and came up with his obituary :(

    Dreadful news. Any details?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    My lips are sealed to protect his anonymity. Only these: He passed away naturally (health reasons) and no, he wasn't Tosa (that was a popular ORG/Chatroom urban legend once upon a time)

    Sad news indeed brother Mouza, as Adrian often referred those he appreciated. He was one of the patrons here who brought the discussion to a higher level.

    For those who didn’t know Adrian – a thread with a potential flammable topic. Yet the clientele around Adrian always seemed to keep it cool.
    He was sorely missed even before he passed.

    When did he pass on?
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
