Finless - RIP (1 Viewer)

Sad, sad stuff. This actually makes me nauseous.

I don't know what to think about him. Guy was clearly bright but let his addictions get the best of him way too much. I hate it.

 
you guys think everybody's a schtick alias.

as if its impossible for people to stumble upon this place and start posting.

Well to be fair, he had a high schtick percentage and a number of different aliases (Finless/Clifton/Jambi and probably others)

This sucks. RIP.

He mentioned earlier in the thread that he was in Boston, and that pic looks like it was taken at Fenway. Was he from around here?

Originally yes. Moved to Denver some years back IIRC, then was pretty nomadic from 2009 on.

He was in the Dakota's quite a bit storm chasing for a roofing company that was contracted by insurance companies. He was going door to door selling it. Sounds like it was a pretty good gig and he quite a bit of fun with the sales side of it.

 
I wish I had been kinder and more understanding of him. I treated him with skepticism and at times, scorn. I didn't know what or really who he was but recognized he had a respectful following from some of the best minds on this board. I'm sorry I wasn't nicer to you, Fin. I talked to you once and in that moment, I recognized that you were more than a showman on a message board....you were a person. RIP Fin. You are going to be missed.

 
damn. Had no dealings with him at all on here, but always knew that I was in for a wild ride when I saw a post by him.

He reminds me of one of my best friends from high school who has his own demons to deal with of a similar variety. I also would not be surprised to get that same phone call one night... :(

Yea we butted heads a lot but always in a pleasant type way (I think at least). I didn't really get his shtick but maybe it wasn't really shtick. Either way, pretty bummed to hear about it.

Sounds like he lived a fun life though.

 
Wow i got into it quite a few times with him. I never really liked him and he never really liked me. I thought he was shtick and regret the verbal spats i got into with him. It was mostly BS too. I remember he put me on blast for callin Dustin Ackley a scrub. Some other #### too. And i was horrible to him too. I feel awful. RIP. Ill be more understanding of people with addiction going forward. I promise.

BTW best wishes Finless. I know weve bumped heads in the past and that was probably more my fault than yours cuz I was being a judgemental #####. I honestly hope things work out for you and Im glad to hear you are in a better place. Even if you are a ####in Red Sox fan.

No worries shady. And forgive my typos as I posted from my phone.

just reading thru this thread. Glad to see i apologized to him and he forgave me last year. At least a little closure.
 
Wow RIP

He came off as a jerk and was full of it most of the time as far as I'm concerned. But he could tell a good tale. To bad his demonds got the best of him.

 
I don't get the "came off as a jerk" sentiment, or anyone who got offended by him....or by anyone else here for that matter. I'm here to be entertained and Fin did it better than anyone IMO. People need to not take this place so damn seriously.

well when someone insults your family, its hard for me to not take that seriously. That being said it went both ways.
 
RIP. His threads were some of the best in the FFA. Too bad it wasn't shtick. He had a lot of details about certain things that led me to believe it wasn't. He was just posting here recently too.

Meh. If I should pass away suddenly I would assume that 80% of the posts about my passing would start off with something similar.

I've already got dibs on the "vibrating through walls" references after you die.

Don't sell yourself short. It would be upwards of 90%.

"Not too surprised given his advanced age"

 
This always made me laugh....

The demographics of this place don't match up with me. I'm not some guy who married my high school sweetheart. I don't have a boring job with benefits that puts food on the table for my family. I didn't buy a house is some #### hole suburb where my neighbors house is 3 feet from mine. I'm 35 and I look like I'm 25. I'm still in shape, I have a full head of hair unlike most of you. I'm not fat. I don't eat buffalo wings twice a week. I don't own a pair of Zubas. I can and do score chicks that most of you would not have any chance of sleeping with....ever. This isn't shtick. It's my life. It's funny but at the height of my drug use I had beautiful women giving my their numbers. I was asked out constantly. And then most of you get to go home to your wives who havent slept with you in months. She's overweight and unhappy. She complains constantly and you secretly despise her. But you stay and let her boss you around. You're miserable but you're doing it for the children.

Ouch.

 
Those who have been here awhile have probably posted some stupid things. I know I have.

Pretty messed up though to drudge that stuff immediately upon someone's death Seems more prudent to avoid this thread if you didn't like the guy
