This is one of LT's friends

[Le Jacquelope]

As astounging as this sounds, the person you know as LT choked on his dinner during the flight back to the States. The stewardess got to him in time, but then his heart stopped. We don't know how it happened. We do know he was complaining nbitterly about a chokingly thick dust storm back in Nigeria; they suspect he breathed in more of the stuff than anyone realized. This, just as he brought back an adopted child and shortly after his second natural child was born. Just so you know.

i now know
but yet i do not care

Complaining bitterly?

Well, the facts seem to add up.

reading of the lit will!!

it is rarely nice to hear of anyones demise , regardless of wheter they are a friend / associate/ relation.
life goes on
no doubt there will be someone willing and able to step into lt's shoes and stir the pot that is the gb
people die on this board every day, sometimes by moving on , sometimes by passing away
how many people theat you used to enjoy , tolerate , despise are no longer here for whatever reason
the board lives on and moves on



always said nigeria was a dangerous place

For the record, if this is true, I'm actually very sorry.

I just don't believe it.

No offense, it's the internet.

Oh dear.
Did he happen to leave anything to any lit person in his will?

 

[~Avalon~]

Poppy is that you?

 

[**Emmie**]

Poppy is that you?

Haha, I was just typing about poppy and about to send it...too funny.

LT's style has always been too confrontational to fake his own death. he has always derived too much satisfaction from a smug "fuck you" regardless of the weight of people or authority against him to disappear in such a passive way.

though he has certainly enjoyed fucking with the board, i think faking his death to disappear would be beneath him.

if i am wrong, so be it. that, too me, is a much lesser error than shooting fireworks in this thread and being wrong.

i wish he had been less confrontational on the board. he made many valid arguments that got lost in the vortex of his pot stirring. and although i don't see eye-to-eye on all of his positions, i do on many. i think LT had great heart.

r.i.p. LT

"This is one of LT's friends"...

NOT convincing. That assumes LT has friends.

I had the same thought after I made my first post. It just doesn't seem like something he would do. At least not unless he plans on turning it around somehow and saying, "See how none of you cared? You would have cared if I was a white female!" Or some crap like that. But even that is doubtful because I think he knows he'd never live it down.

But it could always really be his friend...playing a very cruel joke on him and us. I think something like that is the most likely answer. For some reason, I just always find it doubtful that a loved one would actually bother getting on a message board to let us know at a time like this. But whatever the answer, you're probably right. Better safe than sorry. I apologize for my first post.

Best wishes to LT's family.

Who knows if this is legit or not? I don't know who LT was IRL. LT posted something on 24 Dec saying he was in Nigeria. How is it this friend came to know LT's password and to post something here? LT had a card in his wallet that said, "In the event of my death, log onto Lit and tell them that I'm dead"?

I'll believe it when the friend comes back with a scanned in obit. Until then, LT, get your ass back in here.

You are so gracious.

I could see LT "test" the board with a fake death. He has the guile.

Even if LT is alive he deserves to rest in peace.

 

[crazybbwgirl]

I'm going to pretend I didn't see this.

Passengers dying on a plane make news...and no, this isn't LT...

This is a pretty transparent yanking of our chain, methinks...

 

[pabloback]

no other deaths that match lt's description so at the moment it looks like horseshit
pretty bad taste methinks but what the hell . its not out of place on this board if it is a spoof

If this is true, I'm extremely upset about it. Loving Tongue was a good friend to me here. Regardless of what others thought of him, we were quite fond of each other. He was/is a brilliant writer and more intelligent that a lot of you...

And if he's just fucking with us, you're in big trouble for making me cry today

That won't work with her.

hijacking an obit now that shows style .............. not

The question is, did LT bite the dust or not?

Jeez, how could I have missed that pun? I'm slacking.

Props to phrodeau.
