How do you measure a Lash?
Measure in LOVE!

Indeed.

Would have enjoyed an additional 32499. For starters.

Yeah...



I wish he'd outlived us all.

Trademark enthusiasm and wit.

It's time now to sing out
Though the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends

I said this in another thread, but I think it bears repeating:

No one articulated the childlike joy we take in simple pleasures like Lash did. He was an inspiration to us all.

Awwww...

And more than anything, Lash was so CUTE!

If 32499 were a ZIP Code, it would be in the vicinity of Panama City, Florida. I think Lash would have liked some beachfront property.

How do you write an equation to measure the wonder of a Lash to a Legion World?


x 32,499?


Nah. Not even close!

Seeing this just made my whole morning.

I eagerly look forward to the ongoing, hopefully never-ending experience of rereading a thread and refinding old Lash posts that make me laugh!

Everyone should feel free to quote random, out-of-context Lash posts in this thread!

And he did, and we're all the better for it.

I don't know how, but Lasher managed to impart manic yet calm wit, zaniness, and insane yet never mean snark all at the same time.

I got home today and thought... nope, no message from Lash.

It kinda sucks, but then I think about all the crazy fun over the years and while I would have wished for more, I think he did more than he ever needed to to brighten and enliven other lives.

So, I'm gonna, when I can, try to be as crazy and as fun as possible here in his name.

What is 157... as in:


(appearance by Cos and Lightning Lad)

times 207... as in







?

32499! Coincidence????

So, Lash timed his last post to coincide with 157 times 209?

I knew it! His favorite characters were always Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad and Dvron.

I should make my mom read this. But then she'd probably destroy every computer in the house.

This was from Multiverse Legion Idol.

Spoiler:

So today I find out that the owner of my local lcs, a guy not much older than me and an all around decent guy, has passed. Denny and I have had conversations for several decades now when I went into the store. This is where I bought/by my comics.

And then I see this when I get here and realize that this year has been a pretty nasty one. Yes, people pass on, that's life and it's a given. But lately it seems like the crap rises to the top and the good ones pass on.

Denny's little lcs is where I bought my Legion comics. And it strikes me that when the next legion comic comes out, there wont be Dev, Michael, or Denny around for me to bullshit with.

Majorly bummed out now.

Still miss ya, Lasher.

Sorry for your loss, Rick.

Several years ago, I went to a comic store in the northland Kansas City area. The owner, like me, happened to be named Greg. He seemed like a decent sort, but rather sensitive.

In any case, the shop was eventually bought out by another comic store owner in town and I learned from him that Greg had died of brain cancer. I was very sad to hear this; I only met him a few times, but he seemed like a great guy. (He even bought a few of my old Batman comics.)

Our comic book "dealers" are almost like part of our extended family, and it hurts when they pass.

Hang in there, Rick. There's only 18 more days to go until New Year's Day, and we're all here standing by you to help you get through them.

My condolences for Denny's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all the rest of his friends and family.

And the whole thread is awesome, too!!

Deputy-Idol!

A-lad-in-lass...??? OH, MY.....

!!!!

Awwww.

That boy sure had his priorities in order.

Thanks, EDE.

I'll look for another vintage Lash post later.

Well...maybe another ~3900 and his post-count ZIP code would have put him out of harm's way and closer to my boyhood home.

That sounds more like Universo 5YL than Cobie. Unless Cobie is really Universo, come back to the past to prepare some devious plot.... Yikes!

Hemorrhoids will do that...

They should have had Pantha's dismembered head come back as a floating head Black Lantern!

The Panthanggalan!

So "tanggal" is Tagalog for to remove...
