Title: r.i.p. lizard dude
Post by: mikey on April 01, 2005, 03:33:44 AM
hello. i am lizard dude's brother michael. lizard dudes real name was matthew and we got the horrible news today that he passed away earlier tonight at his college room from yet unknown causes. the only reason i knew to come here was because matthew had a account at www.lastwishes.com where if he died we went to the site and his last emails could be sent out. in the email he said to post here that he died and how he died. the funeral will be sometime next week and i will tell you how it goes. we are all very sad here.

my brother was a good person, why did he have to go so soon?

I'm so sorry about your loss mikey I didn't know Lizard dude as I only joined 2 days ago (when I turned 13)But I have been viewing these forums for 3 years and he was a legend again I am so sorry. He was a great guy and a real loyal Mario enthusiast and if Mario wasn't a videogame character he would be very proud indeed.

No!  No, not Lizard Dude!  Oh man, I feel terrible!  How could this happen?  He was such a great friend.  But at least he could pass away on a beautiful month like this.  Only a fool wouldn't like that quirky and friendly guy.  This is truly a sad day indeed.  Goodbye, my friend.  Sorry you had to go before the next E3.

If it isn't I'll feel bad. But still, this would be a meanly horrible April fools.

mikey, it almost sounds like you're glad that he died.



Mourn the Lizard! He has croaked! Mourn the frog! He's really a Lizard! I mean, he is DEAD!



Dang. ;__;

Nice try, LD. I almost fell for it, what with your brother and all, but posting your death on April 1st and being that your an admin, you can put 2 and 2 together and realize your joking.

 
Title: Re: r.i.p. lizard dude
Post by: Yoshisaurus Rex on April 01, 2005, 07:48:26 PM
Ugh, I'm so confused!  At first I believed this, but then I remembered that it was April 1st and thought it was all a joke, but now I'm starting to wonder if this really is real.  I don't want to offend anybody yet I don't want to look like a fool either.  Please tell me this is a joke for crying out loud!  All I want to know is that he's really alive and will pop up in this thread soon with another picture to make us all laugh and feel better.  Leaving the forums is one thing, but dying... this has to be a sick joke!

Is this is real, then is it going to be the site news soon?  Will someone replace him?

Post by: MadRhetoric on April 01, 2005, 08:04:36 PM
Sorry guys, the news is true. I found out the reason as well... too much World of Warcraft. He ended up sitting on his leg playing WoW nonstop. Since WoW doesn't have a /pizza command he was forced to get up for nourishment.. unfortunately his leg was asleep and he tripped right out the window. I am currently filing a lawsuit against Blizzard.

Post by: Ambulance Y on April 01, 2005, 08:06:39 PM
You guys are right this probably is an April Fool's Joke. (A very cruel and demeaning one, if it is.) I agree with Yoshisaurus. Please let this be a joke. I don't care if it's sick, I just hope that our great friend LD is still very well and prosperous.

I'm not sure what to think. After I saw in Story Boards that Lizard Dude had died in that Mario music thread, I went through the forums, thinking- 'This can't be true; or can it?'

It''''s funny until someone gets hurt. Then it gets hilarious!

Current Opinion Probabilities [Suffix]:

LD has died. [10% chance]
This is an April Fool's day joke. [95% chance]
LD's name is Matthew. [99.989jxb% chance]
"mikey" is someone already involved with the FF. [49.5% chance]
"mikey" is LD's brother. [46.z% chance]
The poor speech is purposefully simulated. [67% chance]
The opinion readout will now end. [100.1% chance]

I'm glad that Lizard DORK is dead.  He was a jerk!  I was actually hoping he would die before my birthday so my birthday wouldn't be ruined by the fact that Lizard Dude was still happily alive!  Good thing he's dead and not able to read this, I've been wanting to express my eternal hatred of that reptilian runt for years now!

I don't care what anyone says about this, I still believe it.  And to show how much I cared about that Dude, I wrote him a little eulogy or whatever you call it in the mushroom teleporter thread, since that was one of the last threads he made.  Please feel free to go there and leave some of your thoughts about him there as well (unless you would rather do that here).

Post by: Lizard Dude on April 02, 2005, 01:09:06 PM
April Fools! I return from the dead.


I'm sorry that I couldn't return to say April Fools on the actual day, since I was taken away from the computer by other events until it was too late.


I'm also sorry for any stress or sadness I may have caused anyone, but I thought this was my best shot at actually fooling people.


Suffix, LD did not actually die, it was an April Fools joke, LD's name is Matthew, mikey was someone already involved with the FF (me), "mikey" was not my brother but my brother's name is Michael, and the poor speech was purposefully simulated. My real brother would have typed about like me.


Markio's and MamaMia Mario's posts were awesome. MEGAߥTE's, Black Mage's, Nameneko's, and Red Paratroopa's were good, too.


Thank you very much for the nice eulogy, Yoshisaurus Rex.


See you next time! ;)

I strongly disagree. Worst April Fool's Joke ever. Death is NOT funny. People who were too gullible were really depressed.

I was more shocked than depressed. However, when I saw that he had posted in Story Boards, I thought "He's alive??"

Oh, and did you check your E-Mail, Lizard Dude?

Post by: Yoshisaurus Rex on April 02, 2005, 08:02:04 PM
Ahahaha!  I knew it!  That was great!  I must admit that was a very sick joke but it was still funny.  But "next time", L.D., maybe you could wait an entire week to respond back to anything just to make some disbelievers start to freak out :).

But to be honest, I actually did fall for this a couple of times: the first time when I saw this and forgot it was April 1st, and the second when I heard someone say something in a way that made me start to believe it again but then I changed my mind.  The second post I made in this thread was what I was actually thinking at the time *smack* but then I changed my mind again but yet decided to leave it there just to try and throw some people off.  Man… I’m so stinkin’ gullible!  Ever since I was little I had this one friend who would constantly lie to me and almost every time I’d believe his filthy lies.  I can’t believe myself.  Oh well, this was pretty funny and fun to join in on (no hard feelings for those of you who did believe this the whole time)  Welcome back, L.D.!

Man, how are we going to top this for next April Fool’s?  Fake pictures of people going to jail?

Oh... you're... alive?  Uh, heheh, well this is awkward...

No, I was just kidding about that whole eternal hatred thing.  And Sapph, your post made my day!  Even though it's 9:30 PM now.  And even if you were just speaking logically.

HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!!

When I was messing around and saw led's post about LD's "death" my stomach dropped because led always posts seriously... then I saw a couple other mournful posts and I was like, holy crap, what happened?! Then I was like waaaaaaait a minute... was the "mikey" thread created on the 1st? I check.. yep, it is.

Didn't LD, last year, use an innuendo in his post like Y-Rex did... because man that seemed familiar...

I was really thinking about it, and this actually contributed to me not saying April Fools on the proper day...but not being able to interact with TMKers was too annoying for just one day. I couldn't have gone a week. That joke would have been on me. Also, I felt sorry for the people who were truly sad. If I should happen to die again, though, (say in 364 days) then I assure you it isn't a joke. I'll actually be dead.

I didn't notice this at first but I like how L.D. not only had bad spelling and stuff, but he also but this in the wrong forum (I usually go to the "view recent topics" so I didn't see that at first)! Trainman, I kinda did copy that innuendo from the last April Fool's thread.  I probably wouldn't have thought of it if I didn't see it, but at least it was still a little original.

Plans for next year's "Fool's": Make two threads about bad things that happened, one true and the other a lie.  That oughta confuse 'em good!
