1. Well, the *last* message I got from MFM...

... was an exclamation point or two when I said that Death took one look at him and fled screaming. More substantively, though, is the 4th response in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018473876

Which happens to be the only other time MFM ever addressed me personally.

8. He sure was quick with the witty comments.

He replied within 2 minutes after I posted this little gem.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018502912

That was my 1st and only interaction with him. He's a legend around here and naming the Lounge after him is a fitting tribute.

I suggest ignoring ********* question following yours in The Lounge.

I believe **** just trying to distract folks from your statement about violence
and I KNOW **** trying to bait you.
.
Just let it sit there all sad and pathetic like it deserves.
.
And there may very well be a tagteaming or swarming on you about it from
her and her trolling baiting buddies.
.
You made an excellent point. Now let them fester in tneir own bitter juices.
.
They're trying the same thing with me where they're trying to paint me
as a racist because I laughed at THEM.

Could you do me a favor and say sometibg nice about Xxxxxxxx?

I do a lot of encouraging behind the scenes... and the occasional "WTF, dude?" when I don't want to
spank or embarrass someone publicly. THAT gets PM's going sometimes.

You are sorely missed, Jim.

[AsahinaKimi]

24. aww

Hugs the Rug!

12. This will need some set up. When MFM had heart surgery...

I sewed and send him a crushed velvet heart to hold for those coughing tortures.

Some time later another DUer posted about their young son needing heart surgery.

MFM ended up sending the heart to the little boy.

Hi, alphafemale!
.
I've been in touch with BenEzra about his son -- the surgery
is Friday (I believe) and he should have a room number for me
to mail it off to by the weekend.
.
If it's OK with you, I'm going to tell his boy that it's from
you and me and everyone in The Lounge -- along with all their
love and prayers and vibes and good wishes.

Sometimes re-gifting is a WONDERFUL thing -- it says a lot
about you for thinking of it,

I'll keep you updated.

44. I can't remember if I ever posted this...

he never told me the story of the re-gifting - thank you for sharing that

[AsahinaKimi]

54. What an amazing Happy Face...

That is how I will remember him.

[alphafemale]

66. Thanks for the pic.

That is a great shot.

[LiberalEsto]

13. I don't know how to find mine

it was back in the early part of December so it's not in my list of past posts any more.

Sigh.

Miss him.

[AsahinaKimi]

27. All of us do...

I think it was awesome he touched your life as well.

[Kali]

45. I found this...

is that the one you where remembering? cute

[LiberalEsto]

58. Thank you for finding this, Kali

[AsahinaKimi]

59. That was fun to read..

btw regarding his hospital picture...I was in a bed like that...and the one annoying thing is that the bed constantly adjusts to your body when you move. Its really annoying to be waken up by that constant moving .. or a Nurse in the middle of the night, who wants to take your blood pressure, and or a vile of your blood for testing. I hated being in the hospital! Its too bad I have to go back in March for surgery... it will probably end up being a week.. its gonna be hell for me, especially if I can't bring a laptop with me.

[OriginalGeek]

14. Not sure what the last thing he said to me was but

it gives me great comfort that one of the very last things I said to him was "Love you man".

I like to think he saw it and knew it to be true.

[AsahinaKimi]

28. Awesome

[marzipanni]

15. Many threads have lost the image MFM posted

Here's one from a year ago-

29. I remember that one!!

pretty funny!

30. I wonder what it was...

Some things get lost in time, oh well... but its history, it builds us up.

19. It was a post on my Birthday thread last year...

...April 27th, if you're marking your calendars...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018375651#post7

He was the heart and soul of the lounge; and i miss him very much.

[AsahinaKimi]

31. awww wow..

thanks for sharing!

20. I think this is it. First ever "triple tag team bed bath"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018516392#post7

[AsahinaKimi]

32. When I was in the hospital the nurse

Came buy and dropped a plastic baggy thing down with some foam stuff in a bottle.

"What's that" I asked?

"Stuff for your sponge bath..."

"Do I get one? " eyes light up..

"Its for your use, just use it when you wish" she said, and she left...

I was like, damn! I guess I didn't qualify or something!

[Kali]

46. yeah I think any lounger from here on out who goes to the hospital is going to be wondering about

those TTBBs.

[Xyzse]

21. I don't know.

Didn't really get much replies from him.

Other than calling him the DU Sherpa (Meaning, as long as I don't do anything worse than him, I should be ok).

[AsahinaKimi]

33. I like that....

48. could this be it, from back in June?

[elleng]

49. YES, Kali!

Thanks!

[Kali]

51. you are most welcome

I have been working on compiling some of his "story" replies. He almost never did them as OPs, they are all mostly in other people's threads. Kind of a treasure hunt.

I will post the list eventually. Labor of love that will likely take me a while.

[AsahinaKimi]

60. wow..

That was impressive!

[elleng]

43. Not to or from me,

but found this, MFM's 'new favorite' beverage, in C&B:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/115730530

[AsahinaKimi]

47. That actually sounds good...

The beginning stages of a girly drink?

[elleng]

50. Something like that!

[HipChick]

52. He was telling about this dog with two tails..

Of course, I couldn't see what he was talking about...so he had to point it out to me..

[AsahinaKimi]

61. Were you talking to him in person?

Or was it a DU thread?

[HipChick]

67. Inbox

[AsahinaKimi]

69. oh okay!

Thanks!

[pinboy3niner]

53. A high point of my life was when I got from MFM...

...an rofl, an applause, a salute, and a you rock...

3. I would want a transparent seat (in a glass-bottomed boat)_ so that I could moon snorkelers and such. Otherwise...

56. Cool, and thanks

for sharing

[Baitball Blogger]

55. We talked about the tribal nature of good ole boys.

This is what he said:

I ran into a heavily-ensconced good ol' boy network at our wonderful, (supposedly) very progressive
community radio station. They were turning it more and more towards a commercial model and I think
some of them were finding ways to skim money off the top. They had had NO type of community
oversight when I started showing up for their monthly board meetings. I immediately held their feet
to the fire about a number of things. It was just me for 6 months to a year before I got others interested.
.
I've always had attitude. Once, when it was my turn to speak for a whole 5 minutes during their required
"community input" period (during which the Board Chairman would actually pretend to nap through-- HE
was a real asshole) I told them that it was a little unfair -- all of them facing off with me on the opposing
side -- and I offered them the opportunity to "go get some more guys" if they thought that would make
them more comfortable.
.
Some of them actually laughed, which "woke up" the Chairman, who glared them back to silence,

[AsahinaKimi]

57. We know so little about his

life before DU, thanks for sharing that!

[Kali]

64. oh man that sent me on a memory trip

this is around the time and the "cause" where I first met him. had to go find some old OLD things that he wrote back then - he was really good.

(and that chairman - yeah he was a dick until the day he finished his term. fuck you, spendo and you too, randy and tony)

[raven mad]

62. I'm really sad that I did not have the pleasure of his company.

I've been reading MFM's journal all afternoon/evening. Laughing, mostly, and thinking, and feeling sorry for myself that I missed out on his interactions here.

This one really choked me up; I remember so many little girls in my life with joy!
From Sept. 20th, 2013:


Over the rainbow, MFM, but still with us.

[AsahinaKimi]

63. Its almost like he is still with us..

I would hope he would look down from where ever he is and read all these posts.. kamisama, onegaishimasu!

[TeeYiYi]

65. This is a nice tribute thread.

k+r

TYY

[AsahinaKimi]

70. Its really all we DUers have...

I hope more people can dig out some more postings of his.. to share with everyone. I think, Kali is making a list of links to some of his replies and things.

[backwoodsbob]

68. jim only sent me one message and it touched me

I have been followed by one person here for years trying to bait me into something I will say that could get me banned.
Jim sent me a message out of the blue...i didn't know that he knew i existed...telling me to not let that poster get me down and how much he knew i love my animal work.

All the problems he had and he took the time to cheer me up.He was a special soul

[AsahinaKimi]

71. Yeah I has some rough periods here at times...

Details I will not go into, and he seemed to jump beside me and gave me one of his famous pep talks about how he liked what I was doing. The above OP piece shows that a little.

[flying rabbit]

72. I forget what the picture was

but... http://www.democraticunderground.com/101827990

The more I hear about him the more I like him. His humor ran from terribly corny to laugh out loud funny, but dammit, he was gonna keep putting it out there in the hopes that someone's day would be brighter.

[AsahinaKimi]

73. funny he was going horizontal with his dots...

I always thought of Herb Caen as king of the three dots... <-- Like this.. but MFM
brought dots to a new higher art form!
