    Striker was made of a standard iron osmium alloy, but with a 2% nickel impurity that made them truly special

    This isn’t mine, but I was reminded of it:

    Five requests with regard to my eventual death September 10, 2021

    1. If it happens that my death occurred in some public place, there is to be no ersatz memorial created on that location comprised of teddy bears, mylar balloons, or terrible poems written on posterboard in pink Magic Marker™. This is very, very important.

    2. If you choose to have any kind of service “memorializing” me, there will be no use of the phrase “looking down on us.”

    3. At no time is any outraged friend or family member to appear in public looking indignant and holding up a framed photograph of me.

    4. If you refer to anything I’ve ever done as “brave,” “courageous,” or “special,” I will personally come back from the grave and shit angry ghost turds in your coffee pot.

    5. If the resources exist and the weather is fine, I’d prefer to have my remains torn asunder by vicious dogs while “Tusk” is performed by an enthusiastic high school marching band.

        Pay $40 for better head. It was a good value but it wasn’t the best quality out there. Kinda like store brand.

    RIP Striker.

    This site will never be the same without you.

    I don’t know how you are posting from the afterlife, a feat which science is yet to explain.

    But that is the power of love I suppose.

    Striker was the baddest motherfucker around, as evidenced by Striker’s mother’s deep postcoital disappointment.

    Your memes brought me much happiness. Especially that one 2 days ago about the straw, which was able to disturb my entire friend group.

      My AMA on their Skibidi Toilet post yielded some good karma (is that what it’s even called on Lemmy?).

    He achieved in death what he could not in life, a way for Blitz and the rest of the IMP crew to no longer be able to make constant sex jokes around and about him.

    Striker,

    I know you were always concerned about it and feared rejection so I honored your wishes to never speak of the events while you were alive, allowing you to live your way. However, with you passing I believe I can share with the world the beauty (and horror) that you brought upon the world free of judgement and felony charges.

    It was 5 years ago beginning with 23 drinking straws, a roll of duct tape, a fresh hair cut, 4 kilos of thermite, a very fetching scarf, and a copy of the Dialogues of Plato. You didn’t begin that evening planning to change local laws of Ann Arbor Michigan, but before the night was over, you certainly did…
