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!

Yep. And she rocks my local boys' PXG gear. [Reply]

I bet she gets annoyed by all the talking sticks. [Reply]
I liked patteeu. We disagreed but I always appreciated his approach to debating. I suspect it was getting hard for a good conservative to continue aligning oneself with the kooks who turned a once proud political movement into a threat to American democracy. [Reply]

It needs to be done for the Curly Bill gif. [Reply]

Sometimes it gets asked whatever happened to so and so, and sometimes so and so gets pinged on social media, or you're left wondering.
Not saying it's right or wrong or whatever, but if someone has been here 10 or 15+ years and then just disappears, it can be a bit concerning for those who know that person IRL or have conversed a lot here (that's why we have the next of kin thing).
So, at the very least, if you don't want people reaching out sometime in the future, or worrying you've knocked off, it helps.
Or maybe it's just a look at me and miss me! thing, because it's a bit disheartening that almost anyone can just stop posting and no one may notice for months or ever. [Reply]
