For some reason I thought about that mug and the good old days of much more fun here at Wordforge. The days when Storm had everyone kneeling before him. When Aurora had some other name. When Bear was Batman. When Dendroica self destructed. When threads hit 100 post in 2 hrs. Those were the days!
People get older and end up posting less once they have a spouse, children, a real job, etc... It was the same over at poly in 2001 when a thread would drop off the first page in an hour because there were hundreds (if not thousands) of posts per hour and dozens upon dozens of new threads. Times change, people age, and forums slow down.
It's obvious. Jeriko unfortunately is dead. There can be no other explination. There was no strife, no warning, he just disappeared. Jeriko was just gone one day. Only other option is he went to the joint for life. He enjoyed handing people their asses on a platter too much and he was damned good at it to just walk away. He'd have found a way back even in this scenerio. But I'm leaning towards pushing daisies.
Regrettably, I'm forced to agree with Caboose, I think Jeriko's girth and insatiable need for high fat content meats did him in.
One of his last posts was bragging about the gumball machine his wife bought him, but bitching about gumball flavors he hated. I've always gone under the assumption his wife killed him for an insurance thing. Poisoned the white gumballs.
