The DU Lounge
Showing Original Post only (View all)Tomorrow's LOLcat thread is dedicated to the memory of Will Pitt. [View all]
A friend for 18 years, and the man who saved the LOLcats thread. When I left DU a few years back after a massive flame war over a pic in the thread, Will kept me informed of all the threads asking me to stay, but didn't share them. I stuck to my guns until he shared the open letter from sagetea on my FB feed, telling me this would be the only update he'd post, and that I'd do well to read it.
It did the trick, and I'm grateful that he did what he did. He knew it would change my mind, and I haven't missed a Sunday since. His passing gutted me, not just because of this, but because of the hundreds of moments we shared over the years, be they humorous, rage-filled, wtf based, or just sharing simple moments of our respective lives. He made being his friend a joy. Erhmagerd did he ever.
See you all tomorrow.
