In the event that I disappear...

[devilot]

I either lost complete and total access to all internet (highly unlikely)... or I'm severely incapacitated (like, in the hospital, ER, ground, etc.).

Either way, I should hope my boyfriend would know to pop in and give a heads up. 😱

 

[iBlue]

iBlue pass wind in most honorable manner. 😀

haha and this even fits the whole "knock wood" thing too

"it's the wood that should fear your hand, not the other way around. No wonder you can't do it, you acquiesce to defeat before you even begin." - pai mei 😀 man he cracks me up!

 

[katie ta achoo]

If I disappear, I've probably joined the circus.

*little known fact*
KT is a contortionist.

I'd LOOOVE to run off and join cirque du soiliel music.. ohh.. but I have none of the chops.
*little known fact #2*
Kt is not a contortionist.

 

[jsw]

...but I have none of the chops.

Pai Mei can help you with the chops.

 

[katie ta achoo]

Pai Mei can help you with the chops.

Man.. If I learn chops with him, can I punch through boards AND have totally sweet eyebrows?

If so, I'm all over this mess. I hope he's in the phone book, I'm gonna call him up.

 

[kiwi-in-uk]

Back on topic ... (you guys are so easily distracted !!)

- bankruptcy
- heart attack
- death

... probably in that sequence.

 

[emmawu]

If I disappear, I'll probably be doing t'ai chi or writing the great American novel or taking pictures and hoping to be able to sell some of them. I heart mac rumors. 😛

 

[Sharewaredemon]

If I disappear (not that anyone would notice) it is because I am in Barcelona (or any other Euro city) busy skateboarding, and ignoring the internet's existence.

Not that this would ever happen...

 

[pknz]

Liverpool has signed me.
Electricity has been lost (more likely in NZ winter)
Internet has gone down, or has been cut (likely all year round in NZ).
I have fallen into a never ending hole and forgotten to take iBook
Died.
Gone away from a bit
Been banned from computer
Got a job
The world ends
I have finally been caught by the law enforcement for my 'infringements.' "Stop I am an officer of the law"
A geese has fallen on me

Man.. If I learn chops with him, can I punch through boards AND have totally sweet eyebrows?

...

I'm embarrassed to say that I just (unsuccessfully) spent an insane amount of time trying to find the right photo of you to Photoshop into that pic.*

Given my, er, wicked 'shop skillz, it's probably best for all that I never found one.

* As Beatrix /Black Mamba/The Bride, although it might have been funnier as Pai Mei.

 

[rendezvouscp]

are they bad? are they very very bad? 😀

I feel like the only one who got this allusion!

If I were to suddenly go, it could be a few things. Perhaps my parents find out that I spend way too much time online and I could bring those As even higher...no, wait a minute. 😉 Perhaps it'd be because I was called to a perform a higher duty and MacRumors simply was not part of my life anymore.

It'd be a very slim chance that I'd die, but everything of mine online would go inactive and a close friend would post a goodbye post on my personal website, explaining what happened.

Otherwise, it'd have to be some other unfortunate event with a very unfortunate outcome.

[bousozoku]

I got confused and didn't pay my DSL bill or I finally found that place on earth that doesn't have modern technology. 😀

Maybe, I will have found an all night diner.

 

[Blue Velvet]

In the event that I disappear, you can all breathe easily again.

Mind you, I'm going in for surgery on Monday so if you don't hear from me after that you assume I snuffed it on the slab.

 

[Deepdale]

Responding to health related concerns could likely be the reason.

 

[Abstract]

The only reason I would stop posting here is because I'm having sex. Sex, or the possibility of picking up and having sex soon, which would require me to leave my computer and socialise, of course.

Since I post here every day, you can guess what's NOT going on in Abstract's life. Every. Day.

Every.....stinkin'....

day.

*sigh*

 

[mad jew]

You don't have sex whilst posting? Macs are all about multitasking Abstract!

 

[Blue Velvet]

You don't have sex whilst posting?

Only in the sticky threads.

 

[WinterMute]

Well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you... and that might take some time.😀

The heavy work in the job is seasonal and regular, every 3 months another load of marking or reports... <sigh>

Other than that I'm probably stuck in Stratholm or Zul'Gurrub...

 

[Jaffa Cake]

If I suddenly disappear, it'll probably be because the bloody phone company has cut me off again for not paying the bill they didn't send me.

Either that, or the FA has finally seen sense and appointed me as Sven's successor.

 

[Lyle]

In the event that I disappear...

... the metal ones decided to come for me.

 

[eva01]

If I suddenly stop posting it is because my illness has put me into the hospital again and would be back within a week.

Or if it has been more than a week, boy am I in trouble because then i would be in serious medical harm.

 

[Josh]

In the event I dissapear (which I think would go easily unoticed lol), the reasons would most likely be:

- I've devoted every second of my time to studying
- I've devoted every second of my time to studying and it has killed me
- Work has blocked macrumors.com
- I was visited by aliens, handed a DVD, and was given the most incredible OS ever imagined. So wrapped up in my secret, I avoided posting to make sure I never spilled the beans.

Each of the above is equally probable 😀

 

[emw]

If I ever disappear completely, you can assume that

(1) I've been abducted by aliens/terrorists/the FBI/my in-laws, or

(2) I've won the lottery and have gone into hiding, or

(3) Someone else won the lottery and gave me a boatload of money, or

(4) I'm dead or otherwise incapacitated.

In any event, although I'm sure you'll all be tempted, please refrain from posting the obligatory "Where's emw?" and "I miss emw" and "That emw was the greatest guy" threads.

On the other hand, perhaps I could start anew as a completely different user. Then I could post my own "Where's emw?" thread... 😛

 

[XNine]

If I'm gone without givign prior notice, It's because I'm dead.

And I'm being totally serious.

 

[stridey]

In any event, although I'm sure you'll all be tempted, please refrain from posting the obligatory "Where's emw?" and "I miss emw" and "That emw was the greatest guy" threads.

On the other hand, perhaps I could start anew as a completely different user. Then I could post my own "Where's emw?" thread... 😛

So in other words, if we ever see a "Where's emw" thread, we should assume that you're not really gone? 😛
