From Patrick: Sorry I haven't posted for while...but I have terrible news post my baby brother Doug has passed away on Sunday. I'm shocked and grief stricken now. I'm with close friends..Alex and Angie and sister flew in town yesterday. We are still waiting on details. Once we find out more l will let you know. Too many deaths this year. Hope your up somewhere looking down on us drinking a beer and having a damn good time. We will miss you brother!
Oh wow, that's terrible. Just the other day a few of us old-timers were talking and wondering how he'd been doing. RIP
We were all talking about him on Sunday. Clearly someone inside the man was telling us something. I am just speechless. great guy, great friend. very sad.
RIP. Last time I saw him, he bought me a beer; I hadn't asked, just totally randomly bought two from the beer man and handed me one. Never got a chance to reciprocate. What a sweet guy as well as a total character. Condolences to his family.
They won't know till later today. I will let you know as soon as I know. this year has been rough dude.
Back 10 years ago or more, when BigSoccer was still a busy place, you could always count on the run up to a big game being graced with one of Worm's absurd or obscene animated GIFs making fun of the opposition or their players/coaches/etc. I wish I had saved them all.
He was probably my favorite poster around here in the olden days. I introduced myself one time at Giant's Stadium and we shared a smoke. Sadly, whoever was storing most of his animated GIFs has lost them. So, for example, in this famous thread, everything's gone. https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/un-official-save-the-wizards-thread.177775/ For a small taste of his genius, he went riffing in this thread: https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/the-official-boy-lionard-pajoy-is-awesome-thread-©.1976852/
I remember his Carlos Ruiz gif, with Ruiz in a Dallas uniform passing through a bathroom, and as he passed the mirrors, the reflection in the mirrors that moved with Ruiz was that of a big flopping fish.
"Almond Pa-Joy" -- "Sometimes you feel like a goal, sometimes you don't." LOL -- that is ********ing genius.
