Farewell To The Internet's Court Jester

While the new year brings new beginnings, it also brings endings- and sometimes in the same event.

This is one of those events. Last night the Internet's court jester--Jim, aka Mister Metokur and The Internet Aristocrat--took a bow with the final Year of the Chud stream.

For those coming in late, Jim's had cancer for a while now and it's been a difficult disease to treat such that the Mayo Clinic's doctors have been confounded at times. Rather than persist with declining health, Jim decided that now was the time to go- to go out on top, and leave while everyone thinks fondly of him.

This had many salutes and well-wishes--mine included--but this one takes the cake:

Farewell, Jim.

See you on the other side.

Thanks for fighting the good fight!

And before that he did a call-in stream.

Jim's store will remain up for the time being. Go buy a hat, or buy one as a gift--I'll take one--and make those who still hate him seethe long after Jim's gone.
