There are former members actually worth missing from Pelican days gone past. So as to not make this thread a total waste of bandwidth, let's share a few...mine:

EarlySman. Roland Kunz. Howard Agency. All gone from earth. Many others who simply don't post anymore, please add yours...

This is a thread about Sniper being gone and nothing else.

Please, if you want to have a thread about people who are gone from the board, start it. Just because you do not like Sniper, please do not try to change its direction or subject of the thread.

You can just stop posting as Todd said and look at other threads.

People just can't do it. That's what makes snipe so awesome, how he can effortlessly get people to unwittingly join in creating the Legend of Snipe. It's hilarious.

Let's lay it out on the line. What did snipe have?
Well, let's see:

He was apparently a trained killer.

He had a job repossessing vehicles.

He got run over by someone and got hurt.

He liked spoons.

He liked lots of women and wasn't really too particular.

His personal grooming was interesting with the long seemingly silky hair and muscle shirts.

He liked to promote himself.

He liked to promote his car.

He wanted you to know he lived in the ghetto and wasn't afraid. Proud, actually.

He really didn't give a rat's ass about you or yours.




We miss him.




You miss him.




This is a forum.



A forum.




I wonder why it's called a forum.




Maybe forum= self help group.



You miss Snipe.

Sure it is! There are six (6) pages here so far to maneuver around. It's easy! Why would you think Denis isn't able to - as he pleases?

This is a thread about Sniper being gone and nothing else.

Oh my! More reading comprehension problems. This is actually a thread that asks two simple questions (don't take my word for it; maneuver back to the original post and read it again (it's easy)). They are:

1) "Do you miss snipe?"

2) "Who's your pick for the guy who takes his place?"

The OP didn't ask for replies only from those who do. And, considering the subject, one would have to be simple minded to think that there wouldn't be comments from both those who do and those who don't.


Please, if you want to have a thread about people who are gone from the board, start it.

You certainly could do that - as you please.

Just because you do not like Sniper, please do not try to change its direction or subject of the thread.

Given what I've tried to clarify for you above, I think you now see that Denis was trying to do neither (unless you're simple minded and still don't understand).

You can just stop posting as Todd said and look at other threads.

HAHAHA! I can't help but laugh. I get the impression from your post that you feel Denis has trampled on "sacred sniper ground".

Hugh was before my time. But I have stumbled upon enough of his posts and read enough things to know that I missed out.

What does this have to do with Richard Simmons?



I just don't get it.

Mind you I never had a problem with the guy and if I ever meet him, I'll buy him more than one beer.
As much as I appreciated his somewhat strange opinions and his tenacity to stick by them, I now enjoy the relative calm that has filled the "void" he left.

To be honest, much of the discussions he was in with many of the other members here became a little boring after a while.
A discussion should end after everyone agrees or agrees to disagree.
Sniper threads (whether he started the thread or just responded in one) always went much further because nobody backed down, que in the personal attacks and from that point on, all those threads were pretty much identical.
I did enjoy his spoon threads a lot.

I have to say that I find no redeeming qualities in the man... He attacked me every chance he got.... He is pretty much the only Pelican that I have no care to meet...
